Resizable Base Address Register. In short, rather than the 256MB of mapped memory available to the CPU for any PCI device, ReBAR capable devices can map larger memory to the CPU’s addressable memory space. Without ReBAR or sufficient tricks (that Intel GPUs lack) you have to shuffle 256MB chunks around between GPU and CPU.

Isn't it just being able to shift the window of GPU memory visible to the CPU?
