Any Alienware M18 R1 Owners here?

Just got a scratched and dent M18 from the outlet, the scratch isnt too bad but a little more than I was hoping for but I'll live with it, just wondering if anyone has got one and can enable Nividia Resizable Bar? I cant even see the option in the Bios and GPUZ is saying its disabled.

Mines a 13900hx and 4080 setup TIA

Might be worth speaking with Dell Outlet rep and say that you are not happy with the size of the scratch and want to return it. It is almost guaranteed that they will offer you a further 10% discount to keep it. I did the same with a scratch/dent Alienware 17 R4 a few years ago.

Unfortunately as I bought it as a business customer I have no rights apparantly, it was bought as scratched and dent so cant return it for that reason unless it was extremely bad which its not

Surely that's subjective though?
