There's an article here on it:

AMD Radeon Resizable BAR / Smart Access Memory Review - 22 Games Tested

AMD's Smart Access Memory feature is highly interesting. It promises a performance boost when the new Radeon RX 6800 Series cards are paired with an AMD Ryzen Zen 3 processor. We extensively test this in a whole article with 22 games at three resolutions, at up to 4K Ultra HD.

Be aware, don't update your BIOS without PCS authorisation as it may affect your warranty.

It should be on the latest BIOS, but just worth mentioning.

Not sure, however you can follow how to activate it here.

(it does mention about BIOS update which can impact warrenty, so maybe best to play caution and email PCS using the tech support option under your order details)

A short way to check is as follows:

1. Go to Device Manager
2. Under display adapters, right click on your GPU
3. Click properties
4. Go to the resources tab and make sure that Large Memory Range is there.

If that is listed - then you should be good to go!
