So i recently upgraded my cpu from a ryzen 5 2600x to a ryzen 9 5900x, and i wanted to take advantage of the Resizeable-BAR support. After updating the bios i did see this option and toggled it from 'disabled' to 'auto'.
Checked a few games and did comparisons between with and without rebar enabled, and i literally saw no performance boosts at all.
To be clear, the game that is most positively effected by rebar is probably Forza Horizon 5, and i gained literally nothing in both 1080p and 1440p, in both high and ultra settings (4 test results in total).

After googling to make sure i have rebar enabled via windows, im now not knowing what else to check if its properly enabled or not.

I have included images from speccy, the bios options, the device manager, and Radeon Software.

So, what am i missing here? Is there another test (perhaps even synthetic) that can determine if rebar works properly in my machine?

Solution
Try uninstalling (all)your GPU drivers with DDU then manually reinstall with the latest driver sourced from AMD's support site. Are you working with BIOS version F64b?

Ok so update - now it works.
I have DDU'd the driver and installed the latest version - 22.7.1, and here are the new fps results from FH5 benchmarks..

Pre-rebar:

1080p high - 113 FPS
1080p ultra - 79 FPS
1440p high - 99 FPS
1440p ultra - 69 FPS (nice)


With rebar:

1080p high - 140 FPS (x1.24 uplift)
1080p ultra - 95 FPS (x1.2 uplift)
1440p high - 121 FPS (x1.22 uplift)
1440p ultra - 81 FPS (x1.17 uplift)

Overall an avg of 21% fps uplift in Forza Horizon 5!

As for which bios version im using, its the normal F64 version.
