[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8753738, member: 591582"] Trying to see if I can by chance get smart access memory to work between my CPU and GPU....couldn't, not supported yet on my 5700xt. I did update my BIOS (first update ever), updated all chipset drivers, everything. I turned on "above 4g decoding" and "resize bar support", which the point is too allow a bigger data transfer between the CPU and GPU. The newer PCIe systems, and with the fast processors, they seem to be able to transfer data fast enough, where they've had to come out with updates to fully embrace this tech. My GPU isn't supported yet, at least through my GPU software (believe me, I tried for like 3 hours to make it all work). You can supposedly get a 5-10% boost in FPS or just overall performance, simply because the CPU can communicate faster with the GPU (through the PCIe bus). I'm too tired to test it yet, wtf why am I awake? Idk, Buck reasons, that's why. I did load in a game quickly, and I noticed the game loaded significantly faster. The game is set to load @ max FPS through modding and a script extender, so it allows my GPU to basically max clock during loading screens. So, any increase in GPU speed would 100% show up in the loading time, due to the fact that the GPU is literally maxed out, I mean I hit like 350 FPS on every loading screen. To be continued. *while I was in BIOS, I had to redo everything because of the setup, re-overclock my memory to 3600 mhz. There's some settings I left to off or on, that I didn't understand 6+ months ago when I first got done building this. Pay attention to those in the future, it's like having free speed, yo. [/QUOTE]
