Total War: Three Kingdoms as the native Linux port by Feral Interactive is one of the games with the biggest benefit from NVIDIA Resizable BAR on Linux.

Total War: Three Kingdoms saw a nice uplift to the performance across the RTX 3060 Ti / RTX 3070 / RTX 3090 graphics cards used for this round of ReBAR Linux testing.

Of the games we commonly benchmark for serving as good benchmarks and meeting our criteria, DiRT Rally 2.0 under Steam Play and then the Linux-native Total War: Three Kingdoms were enjoying the largest improvements while for many games the performance is flat. It's a nice uplift though in affected games but hopefully for Linux users there will be an easier way for applying NVIDIA vBIOS updates moving forward.
