RESIZE BAR for Z370/Z390 chipset

[Nihil5320]

Firstly I really am not posting this in a malicious I want an argument way but you are making excuses for inexcusable customer support.

Whilst I agree to a point that the support staff don't know a lot, as someone who worked in a similar function, they will know quite a bit. They are the ones giving links to the list on what's supported and you can bet their manager has asked what is going on with the Z390/370 and will have been told. What they communicate is a different matter, and you can read between the lines of what they are not saying at this point in this instance... ie "it isn't happening" because they would have been told they can tell people its in the works if it was. It's an absolute classic case of don't confirm that you are not doing it and hope that the anger dies down.

Regarding the they didn't know and resources, well I don't know who released an update first but,

MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS

Release Date
2021-01-04

to make sure that isn't a date error and its the 1st of april, there is also this one

2021/01/19
Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ELITE
Enable Resizable Base-Address Register (Resizable-BAR) option to enhance GPU performance

They have had 3 months to sort themselves out after that was released and you can bet that they had heard rumours before then that other manufacturers were going to do this.

Agreed, its a truly terrible look for them.

That's a good point, I guess they decided not to knowing full well that their competitors had all gone the extra mile (or extra few inches, given that the required update is a copy pasta from a nearly identical chipset). That is a highly questionable position for them to have taken, and I don't really see how it can be down to a lack of test resource either given that they have released BIOS updates for quite a few of those SKUs in the last 2-3 months.

In regard to your other point on call centre staff, it really depends on the company. Most large companies outsource their call centre work, the call centre staff will generally be about as well informed on most topics as the general public.

If they were all parroting the same points it might suggest that Asus had prepped their support staff but given that we've had numerous reports of them saying "who knows" and even one claiming that the BIOS updates are with Intel for certification (which sounds like they were just making stuff up) chances are none of them have a clue and they know as much as us.

I have posted a query to ASUS technical support - Not holding out much hope of getting the response I hope for, or any response for that matter

Lets not forget 370 users as well. I replied and retweeted. But I also have like zero online clout...

Gamers Nexus account replied, however it's like they are siding up with asus. At least that's the vibe I'm Getting from them or their CM.

I'm in the same boat, just come to the forums to see if Asus is going to update the BIOS or not, I have a 9900k with a Z370h, and i don't want to upgrade now.

Silence Is a very coward way to face costumers...

Yes, definitely they are in the same side as Asus with that answer.

I am beginning to lose hope. Will wait a month longer, if no BIOS update I will then go out and buy a different brand of motherboard that supports resizable bar.

Same here this is what they replied to my e-mail i sent.

I also started a new thread about resize bar back to where it belongs ( guess what it got deleted)
here is a snapshot i took

If they don' t release a resize supported bios for 3x series soon, the best answer to Asus that to never buy & suggest an Asus product ever...

I' m in the same way with you. I' ve an 9900k, Asus Rog Strix Z390-F & Asus Rog RTX 3080 Oc...

And i won' t upgrade anything because of that resize issue. And again if bios update won' t come soon, i' ll never buy an Asus product & never suggest it to any friend.

We only want an official explanation.

Well at least its a response LOL. Again pretty disappointing but not unexpected, all these review sites have become all about advertisements these days and their reviews aren't actually that good, so much needless waffle and rubbish is spoken about in the reviews.
I do find it funny how they rallied around hardware unboxed when Nvidia stopped sending them stuff because they felt HW unboxed wasn't focusing on certain features (which in all honesty it wasn't IMO), but these same review sites refuse to help us common folk where its actually going to help a lot of people!!! not just one guy who runs a review site. Total BS

This is the way. Open threads on other websites so that everyone can see Asus' policy of disloyalty towards its customers. Losing customers is the path chosen by Asus.
