Copying dlls all over will temporarily fix issues, but I would not get in the habit of doing it. What happens the next time it is updated at the source? Do you remember to update the place you copied it to? Do other programs now read the old one from System32 instead of the new one where it is supposed to be found? Not saying there is technically anything wrong with what you did, but root cause is important.

Looks like EVGA screwed something up here, pending a fix, having the dll there is probably not awful, but even in a place where only PX1 would look like "C:\Program Files\EVGA\Precision X1" would be better. However, it could cause a head-scratcher down the road. Just my own unsolicited 2 cents. I will take my beating now LOL.

Agreed, which is why i made a symlink of that .dll in system32 instead of copying it. Still a half ass measure, but at least the .dll being referenced will always be the latest one.

That's a good idea...  I was also looking at the PX1 install dir, there are dlls in the base directory and also in the Library folder there.  I assume a link to the dll there would also fix it, and only expose it to PX1, which I guess is the problem here.

With a Kingpin card, is Precision going to pick the right BIOS to update to based on my switch position?  Or where are the individual BIOS downloads?

I remember Jacob saying it will pick the right one based on where the switch is set.  I had a similar question and it seemed to work fine. 

Can anybody 100% confirm that you can only update the bios currently indicated by the position of the physical switch and that it is safe to toggle that switch after booting in windows? I would really like to fix the bios that broken when precision x tried to update it, but i definitely don't want to break the second bios too. Also what is the bios that precision X wants to update on launch, the one you must update to even start it, compared to the nvflash updates on the actual update button?

Yes, whatever physical position the switch is in is what VBIOS will be updated (regardless of manual flash or PX1 flash). Yes, flipping the switch over in windows in order to flash the other VBIOS slot is safe.

That was indeed what it did.  Only thing I'm missing now is a CPU that can do it since AMD hasn't enabled it on 3000-series and my 5950x won't be here til Wednesday or so.

I'm getting constant GPU crashes with my 3070 Ultra Gaming now since REBAR bios, anyway to revert back to pre-rebar? This is annoying and honestly not worth it.

Not even overclocked, everything was working previously just fine and no I'm not using CSM.

So, reading through everything I'm seeing here, would it be fair to say as, as I'm another one of those guys running a Ryzen platform using an MSI X570 Unify mobo to hang tight while NVidia and AMD try to play nice and make firmware for resizable bar compatibility?  I'm of the understanding it at least shouldn't be TOO far out.

Depends on the MB... MY  MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon has had Re-bar support since January 27 and is working.

 

So went and tried to update my vbios today for this - and got a pretty scary looking error
 
"EEPROM programming failed.

PROGRAMMING ERROR: EEPROM Program failed
Please note this error and contact your display adapter manufacturer's technical support line. It is important that you leave your system ON and NOT reboot until instructured by your manufacturer on how to proceed."
 
I did the update via Precision so shouldn't have any issues with wrong files etc. I have a 3080 XC3.
 
Normally I'd go through the basic troubleshooting steps but the message about not turning off my computer has me worried - am I going to be bricked on reboot? I have a 10700kf so I can't fall back on the integrated graphics if anything goes wrong.
 
I've raised a support ticket but just concerned about waiting a while with a computer I can't restart

The 10700K has an iGPU.

Apologies, meant KF.
 
As an update, my power conveniently went out so had to restart the computer. It booted, I then reinstalled (again via precision) and it says it's worked this time. Unfortunately having further issues as soon as I update my bios settings to enable rebar - the GPU fails to work, giving me a video card issue light on my mobo. Can only fix it by removing my cmos battery. And yep, have done the mobo bios update as well.
 
So I'll have to go and try and do some clean installs of everything all over again and see how that goes.

Did you check if you have CMS off ?

Yep, CMS off, >4G enabled. Both don't cause any issues on their own, but the moment I enable the resizeable bar the GPU fails. Thinking it's just because of the initial GPU firmware update fail, so will go and factory reset and start from scratch.

It sounds like your Windows installation is MBR? What do your partitions look like in disk management?

All GPT, no issue there either

For those who can get Re-sizable BAR to work, I found this in Overclockers UK:

Here is how to enable REBAR on non whitelisted apps/games

1 - Download Nvidia Inspector. Probably at least version 2.3 ideal.
2 - In Nvidia Inspector, look for the icon that kind of looks like a hammer 2nd from the right, if you hover over it, it says "Show unknown setting from Nvidia Predefined Profiles", Activate it.
3 - Now if you browse any game in Nvidia Inspector in the Unknown flags at bottom, look for the following line.
0x000F00BA (17 profiles)
and
0x000F00BB (17 profiles)

For games that are whitelisted these flags will probably be already enabled, for other games the value will be 0x00000000. You can flip it to 0x00000001.

Update - It has been brought to my attention there is a 3rd flag as detailed below to enable.

0x000F00FF (17 profiles) - 0x0000000040000000


Tried it out myself with 3DMark and it does appear to help somewhat.
 
USE AT OWN RISK!

It keeps detecting my EVGA RTX2080ti XC instead of my EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra and won't let me change it. It should have a pull-down. Even if it would let me change that option, I downloaded new GPU drivers (which isn't always best for F@H), new Precision x1 (to 19 from 17), new GPU BIOS, new M/B BIOS. All to get greeted by the statement that OS must be installed in UEFI mode.

Similar situation with my 3090 FTW3 Ultra. Updated via Precision and after it stopped at 95%, screen blinked and I have the same EEPROM error.
 
 

I sent a ticket to evga support, and they suggested me to wait for a Precision X1 update, because as it is now, they said although most people can get rebar to work, a lot others are having issues flashing their cards or P1 not recognizing stuff right. So, waiting for PrecisionX 1.2.0 I guess, not risking bricking my gpu.

My motherboard will support resizable bar but I am not clear on if my Intel I9 - 7900x will support it.  I don't see it listed on Nvidia's site but I don't see x299 listed there either.  Can anyone clarify if the 7900x will support resizable bar?

IIRC, Intel has had resizable bar support baked in since Haswell. So yes, your 7900X will work assuming a REBAR updated motherboard BIOS and proper BIOS settings.
