About the project

UEFI DXE driver that enables Resizable BAR on systems without official support. Provides GPU performance gains and is required for Intel Arc GPUs to work optimally.

Useful for

Enable Resizable BAR on an old motherboard by patching UEFI firmware
Build the DXE driver from source inside an edk2 tree
Patch a UEFI image with UEFIPatch to remove 64-bit BAR limits

Why it’s trending

0 stars so far today, about 15 expected by the end of the day. The usual pace is 1 per day, so that's 11× as much.
Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
