Above 4g Decoding

4g Decoding. Above 4g Decoding I've been dealing with a problem where if I don't enable "Above 4G decoding" in the BIOS settings, my server system won't boot up with a certain number of storage devices Resizable BAR (Base Address Register): PCI memory regions are set using BARs

NVidia GPUs on Linux would also seem to support it but are artificially set to cap out at 256MiB of mapped memory, likely for 32-bit compatibility reasons. Above 4G decoding allows the firmware to map memory regions of PCI devices above 4GiB of memory

Above 4g Decoding

Previously, you had to huddle in a 4GB block, while with the Above 4G, you can use the whole area. NVidia GPUs on Linux would also seem to support it but are artificially set to cap out at 256MiB of mapped memory, likely for 32-bit compatibility reasons. You can determine whether the motherboard supports this function by the following methods: Check motherboard specifications: Check the motherboard's manual to see if it mentions supporting MMIO decoding greater than 4GB.

Above 4g Decoding. BARs (usually) have a fixed size often 256MiB for graphics cards. Above 4G Decoding affects the amount of RAM allocated at a time for the processor to work with video memory
