is it possible to make the AMD SAM available

Some motherboard makers enabled it for 1st gen, you might want to ask on the msi support forum about it.

Hello @thadle 

I'm assuming you built your system before 2020. That said, it looks like your GPU (the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME) and CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 1700)  aren't supported. By the way, here are the system requirements:

Hardware:

AMD 500 Series Motherboards 

Select AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs

AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPUs or later

AMD Radeon RX 5000 Series GPUs or later

Have you thought about upgrading?

I was wondering what the question, "Is it possible to make the AMD SAM available?" actually meant here.  I think @thadle was talking about enabling BAR (Smart Access Memory, aka Resizable BAR for AMD) and not asking for @Sam_AMD to chime it.  But @Sam_AMD has it right.  The early AMD CPU doesn't support it (look for a 3000 series or later), even if the motherboard allows the user to enable BAR in the BIOS.  The GPU also does not support Resizable BAR, as @Sam_AMD noted.
