You can force it to use resizable bar and get more fps. It just needs to be enabled and it's such an easy thing for the Bethesda devs to do, yet people need Nvidia profile inspector to enable it. For no reason.
You mean to tell me that enabling ReBAR in the BIOS doesn't automatically enable it for every game?
Not for Nvidia. Nvidia maintain a whitelist in the driver. But not a blacklist
The BIOS setting enables the bus feature in hardware. But the driver also needs to support it.
If this is true, it means the game is designed around a UMA architecture, i.e. xbox. Nobody in their right mind tries to map more than 256MB of CPU memory concurrently for a single frame. Either that or the engine is completely shit at resource streaming (also characteristic of console-first games), and so is relying on the OS to demand-page random resources as needed.
