Hi, I'm trying to get my SAM to work for a while I'm so close to give up but I want it to work.
I have enabled Re-size bar, above 4g and my Bios is UEFI. But still SAM is not working.
I'm checking resources on my GPU properties I don't see "large memory range"
I'm checking AMD Radeon Software, it says "Smart Acess Memory Not Available"
any help appreciated.
my setup
GPU: RX 6800XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Motherboard: MSI B550-A PRO (MS-7C56)
Re-size Bar enabled, above 4g enabled, UEFI
Your harddisk or ssd has gpt not mbr? I mean you have to make a fresh windows installation.
I didn't quite understand what you mean, I have an SSD 2tb. No idea whats gpt nor mbr. Could you explain a bit more?
Open 'Disk Management'. you should have a small partition labeled 'EFI System....'.
If you have that, then you also need to disable 'CSM' in mobo bios settings.
I see Healthy EFI System partition on disk management yeah,
I searched everywhere but I can't find anything about disabling CSM in bios. I have an indicator on top it says CSM/EUFI, there csm is gray and uefi is highlighted.
Here are the system requirements to use Smart Access Memory, you may want to check that you meet the requirements.
Yes I already shared my system info. I have it all, i should be able to use it but can’t
Download GPU-Z. https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-gpu-z/
Run it, go to advanced tab, then select PCIE Resizable Bar from the drop down tab and post a screenshot of what you see.
Here is mine.
It says "no" to "Resizeable BAR enabled in BIOS" but it is enabled. Check the photo from my bios. I don't know what is wrong
Okay so after some more digging, I updated/m-flash my bios to latest and got gpu-z to show resizeable bar enabled. however AMD Radeon software still says SAM is not available. check the screenshot below. Also thank you all for the support I feel like I'm close to get this thing to work 😛
What build of Windows are you using? Is your OS up to date?
Are you using 21.9.1 drivers which are the current latest?
You may also want to try a Clean driver Install and Factory Reset of 21.9.1.

May be a longshot, is Pcie x16 set to Gen.4.
Any progress on this issue?
