"Unlocking Resizable BAR Support for Older Nvidia GPUs: A Risk Worth Taking?"

TL;DR Summary
Modders have developed NvStrapsReBar, a mod that adds Resizable Bar (ReBAR) support to older Nvidia RTX 20-series and GTX 16-series GPUs by modifying the UEFI of the motherboard, allowing for performance improvements in certain games. While the mod is a significant development, it comes with potential issues and risks, and may not be worth it for most users. Those interested can find detailed instructions on GitHub, but should proceed with caution due to the risk of bricking the motherboard. For those looking to upgrade their PC gaming experience, investing in a new graphics card may be a more viable option.
