List of ROG boards with REBAR Support for X299. The release for some of these updates are staggered. Some vendors are still to release VBIOS updates, too.

Do not see the BIOS yet but this is good news.

If it's not there, it will be. As above, releases are staggered and some of the support pages can take some time to update locally.

Could you post a link on google drive or other please?

its not available on any site

There's only really one official site and its indeed not there just yet. Give it a little time. To have it announced as being done and it actually making it to the downloads are two totally different statements. Not uncommon for there to be a delay from one dept to the other. While it seems a simple task we are talking about interdepartmental separation in a corporate atmosphere. Like any other corporation they are never on the same page. Company I work for is a massive global entity and no one is on the same page and one dept never knows what the other is doing by design. Its like the development team has to submit an internal ticket to the web team and that gets in a stack with other things to do. It will get there eventually. Sometimes the delay is a day or two and others a week or two. Ive seen it take up to a month but lets hope not in this instance. With everything still being in its infancy and GPU manufacturers just realsing VBIOS for cards and next to nothing as far as titles go supporting it I wouldnt be too worried about it.

No need to rush to get the BIOS anyway as rebar really does not add anything useful, The newest Nvidia Driver added more than rebar itself did.

Hi, could someone with a Asus Apex Board do me a favor, i did the bios 3404 Update and after this i dont know Why i made a ME Firmware Update not knowing it could be integreated in the bios

What i would like to know What is the ME number within the bios after the New bios

One other thing i can say the New bios still seems to make the PC slower, alle bios after 3006 including the New 3404 let me lose points in 3dmark timespy a dx12 test, went down from 17800 to 16100 more or less

This is the stock readout from the 3404 Apex BIOS:

From what I can see, these are the latest possible but I have not found where to get it:

Got depending on the game title arround 10% fps difference between rebar on and off i think that is a big benefit. On some games the benefit between 3080 to 3090 is similar to the 3090 re-bar on vs off. So i think thats something only comsmetical and unimportant.
