Resizable BAR will crash your game @ 4k if you have less than 16GB VRAM

[Amon]

The game only uses 10.08~ GB VRAM @ 4k, RT max settings (except trash DoF, Motion Blur & Chromatic ♥♥♥♥). However, that is because the game engine/NVIDIA Driver?/Windows is really good at swapping assists in and out of the VRAM, so you can ignore the 14GB VRAM warning in the settings when you max everything out, provided you have at least 12GB VRAM.

That being said, turning Rebar on (using NVIDIA Profile Inspector) and the game will cram your VRAM and crash with fewer assists being swapped in and out by the game engine/NVIDIA Driver/Windows.

I finished the Demo playing on 4K without FSR, and everything maxed out using 5900x & 3080 Ti. FPS did not drop below 60 until I finished the demo and the last cut scene started playing.

I actually have Resizable BAR enabled when I play the demo and I have zero crashes. Played on 3070 with its tiny 8GB VRAM

RT On, all max @4k?

If you are going to say no, kindly re-read the post. I do take part of the blame since I did not initially, now edited, write @ 4K in the title.

Ah nope. My bad

I have the same GPU as you (as well as the same hatred for putrid DoF, Motion Blur & Chromatic a55)

Can we turn off Resizable BAR for this game specifically? Or do I have to go into my BIOS?

Hmm.. I think you are mistaken. First --> NVIDIA HASN'T RELEASED ANY GAME PROFILE FOR THIS GAME. So, you can't add resizable bar using NVIDIA Profile Inspector.

Also, If you manually assign this game executable to any other game profile, it will create conflicts with other settings in the profile. This is what's leading to the crash.

In short, Wait for game release when NVIDIA releases Game Ready Driver.

You certainly can enable Rebar globally, and so it will affect everything, regardless if the game does have its own profile or not.

If you did not turn it on in NVIDIA Profile Inspector globally, then it is off by default. So you don't need to do anything. My post is for those who tinkered with Rebar.

Oh, I thought you linked your ".exe" with another game profile. Anyway, I tried with Resizable On @ 4K @ RT Medium @ FSR 2.0 and it's works great. ( Provides slightly better frames than ReBAR Off ) . And true, If you game at 4K, 16GB is minimum RAM requirement.

Anyway, looking at the requirements of recent games, I would say 32 GB is a must. Whether it's Hogwarts Legacy or upcoming TLoU, man RAM requirements jumped CraaaaaaazzzzY.
