System

Motherboard: Asus X571GT
BIOS Version: 312
GPU: GTX 1650 Mobile 10DE:1F91 1043:1A81
[x] CSM is turned off. Make sure to confirm this in the BIOS and not with GPU-Z or similar since it can be inaccurate
[x] 4G decoding is enabled. Make sure to confirm this in the BIOS and not with GPU-Z or similar since it can be inaccurate
[ ] UEFIPatch is applied (see Using UEFIPatch for more information). On some motherboards DSDT Patching is also needed
[x] I have read Common issues (and fixes)

Description

Hello, I added the module to the BIOS, I tried to patch but apparently no need. I activated "4GB MMIO BIOS assignment" using modGRUBShell.efi, the CMS is deactivated. When testing different combinations in NvStrapsReBar, "Current BAR Size" remains at 256 and UEFI DXE driver status: Bridge Found (0x000000000000003C).

Have you tried setting the BAR size using option (P)?

Yes, I tested all kinds of combinations, I always have the same status for the driver DXE.

The status is as it should be when the driver is not configured or there is a change in the BIOS, but as soon as I configure it and restart the computer, I have the status "Bridge Found".

I looked, we have the same chipset but BIOS are different. I will test old versions.

"Bridge Found" means the GPU is NOT found by the DXE driver, despite the Windows executable can find it in Device Manager... :(

This looks like an issue in the latest release v0.4. Two other users reported a similar issue https://github.com/terminatorul/NvStrapsReBar/issues/77, and I do not know where the problem is.

Can you try again with v0.3 ?

With v0.3, you have to remember the DXE driver depends on the settings in UEFI setup, and should be disabled before changing UEFI settings, and re-enabled after.

Same with v0.3 and v0.4-rc1.

Tested 3 others Asus vBIOS : black screen at Windows welcome screen. Tested nVidia generic vBIOS : "Bridge Found"

If i override Target BAR size for the GPU, i have Status 1E or 14. rebar

With BIOS 211, 305 and 308 :

bar305

Edit : if i add ReBarUEFI and NvStrapsReBar with BIOS 312, i can have Status : Configured.

GPU-Z Resizable BAR enabled in BIOS : No

Sorry I cannot tell what the issue is.

It looks like the GPU device is not available during early boot (or does not have the PCI IDs configured), and is only enabled by motherboard firmware or vBIOS later in the boot process. This is just a guess 'though, from the behavior I can see. I do not actually know what the firmware for that laptop does... might also be a small hardware problem with the GPU board, that the Windows driver knows how to work around
