Resizable Bar

[rockbottom]

Not much info about it on this board but I decided to give it a test & enabled it about an hour ago, so far so good. Anybody else have it enabled? Any issues I should be aware of? OBS should perform better with it on, guess I'll find out over the next few days.

I ran a 2160p HVEC recording, plus 1080p/720p streams for 5 hours, no issues observed with my rig. Hard to tell if there were any performance gains with the limited testing but there were no negatives that I observed. Might be worth a try if you have the hardware available.

For those of you using Arc, it's recommended:

Summary
Intel® Arc™ Graphics provides best performance with a resizable BAR but it's not a requirement to run the GPU.

Description
Want to know if Intel® Arc™ Graphics will still work on a system without a resizable BAR.

Resolution
Resizable BAR (or Smart Access Memory) must be enabled for optimal performance when using Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics. Though, Intel® Arc™ Graphics can still work on a system without Resizable BAR enabled.

Additional information
Resizable bar is a motherboard feature that can be enabled under BIOS settings. Consult with your motherboard manufacturer to determine whether your motherboard supports resizable BAR.

Over 25 hours of testing completed. There have been absolutely no stability issues & it appears that there are some performance gains, I'm seeing roughly 3%. Also from my testing, I'm fairly certain people with large number of Scenes/Sources will benefit the most with it enabled.
