In recent years we have seen the development of many technologies that seek to allow the user to improve the performance that the components of their computer can offer, but there are cases where this only works with specific components. In this case we are talking about technology Rebarwhich is normally only compatible with graphics RTX30it can now be activated on an old PC using a modification.
In the case that we have an old computer, it is normal that before trying to change it for a better one, we want to try all possible ways to make it last a little longer, because in the end a gaming PC represents an excellent investment. That’s why the modding community is always looking for ways to incorporate technologies that companies develop for certain specific component models, as may be the case in this case. Rebar
What is ReBar and what is it used for?
This technology developed by Nvidiathis is basically the version for your graphics of the one that I developed AMD named as SAT (Smart Access Memory), and which is mainly based on eliminating the limitation that existed in the maximum size that the bus could offer, it was divided into blocks of 256 MB. This allows the CPU, RAM and GPU with its VRAM to have full access to it, allowing greater optimization and speed, while providing better performance when using applications that have a lot of textures, such as video games.
This way we can enable this technology in graphics RTX30 to increase the performance of our games, but this is obviously a problem, since it can only be used with these graphics models. This is why we can now benefit from this improvement even if we do not have a graph of the series 3000 of Nvidiaand all thanks to the modding community, although obviously we have to be careful when doing this, because in the end it is an update created by a third party, which we also have to integrate into the BIOS
How to activate ReBar on an old PC?
If we want to activate this option if we have a previous graph, we can do it, as we indicated previously, through a project called ReBarUEFI, which will offer us the possibility of using this technology. According to the creator, this modification even allows motherboards developed to support the generation based on Intel’s Sandy Bridge architecture to benefit from this technology.
This way, people who own computers as old as the ones we saw in 2011 can get an average 6% improvement in performance from their games, although it’s always better to try to get components that are slightly no longer updated.
