Nvidia Resizable BAR?
Supports the game ReBAR?

Not all games use ResBar, even if it's activated in your BIOS.

You can enable ReBar for first descendant using other games' profiles but there is no garantee that it'll work as intended. I tried it saw no difference at all so I just left it disabled again.

That is a BIOS setting, software doesn't need to making special accounting for it.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Yes, I know it that way too. Activate and configure either globally or for the game via the Nvida Profile Inspector. Of course you have to activate it in the BIOS beforehand.
I haven't noticed any advantages so far and have gone through a few settings. Actually lame for a game from 2024.

Yeah, I was very surprised when I saw this game doesn't use it. I wonder if they optimized this game to use this resource if performance would improve a bit. Perhaps Nexon's double anti cheaters interfere on it? Who knows.

Overall, the game runs really well for me though at 1440p and DLSS-Q on High Settings with only textures on Ultra. I'm on a 3070, which is a very average card for today's standard.

1440p here with a 4070 super, 5800X, 32 gigs of RAM.
With dlss-q and frame generation 140-165 fps, but the frame gen bug is annoying and without frame gen I only have 70-90 fps.

Resizable Bar will not give you benefits in all games, and not equally even if it will.
It can in fact have even some negative effects in rare cases.

That is correct.

Wrong. BIOS makes it available, but drivers allow games to take advantage of it. Not every game uses it.

You learned something today.
