As the Extreme Encore, le X299-E Gaming II isn't upated yet. Those two models were released two years after the first linup. I'm sure the upate will come soon ^^
I've edited my post adding the updated ASUS WS X299 SAGE/10G bios link

Finally, some ReBAR GeForce vBIOS are being released (GALAX) and peoples first impression are coming.
Seams like so far, no (less than 1%) gaming FPS benefit has been detected even with a 3090...
dud?, Maybe. Lets see how this story develops...

Did some testing, the Galax ReBAR update refused to update my Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity (350W limit by default), so I cross-flashed it to a Galax Gamer OC (390W) and then the patch ran successfully

. After reboot, GPU-Z shows ReBAR enabled. (Running on a R6EE with Shamino's ReBAR BIOS):

The list of supported games (on the NVIDIA driver side) is still quite short, so I only tested AC Valhalla so far. The avg/1%/0.1% FPS improved from 62/45/35 FPS without ReBAR to 63/48/39 FPS with ReBAR. So indeed the improvement is quite small (I think I gained more by flashing the 390W BIOS over the original 350W BIOS), except that you might get a smoother experience due to the increased lower percentiles.

I am currently using the 5003101 ( 0901 bios) microcode with the latest module like this:

Modules
EFI Intel RST for SATA - 18.31.1.5224
OROM Intel RST for SATA - 18.35.0.4635
EFI Intel VROC for SATA - 7.5.0.1030
EFI Intel VROC with VMD - 7.5.0.1030
OROM Intel VROC for SATA - 6.2.0.1034
OROM VBIOS SKL-KBL - 1049
EFI Intel Gigabit UNDI - 0.1.00
OROM Intel Boot Agent CL - 0.1.16

Much appreciated.
