NVIDIA Resizable BAR Firmware Update Tool
also lists the links for AIB cards too!
With out trying it.
How do we know that our cards have the right Vbios?
The tool will detect all cards in the system and indicate one of the following statuses:
Status
Meaning
Update supported, will be applied
The existing GPU firmware does not support Resizable BAR, and this tool can be used to update it.
Already updated
The GPU firmware has already been updated from this tool.
Resizable BAR already enabled
The GPU already has Resizable BAR enabled, and no update is necessary.
Unsupported by this tool, contact card vendor
The existing GPU firmware does not support Resizable BAR, and the card is not supported by this tool. Contact the card’s vendor for support.
Unsupported
The GPU is not capable of supporting the Resizable BAR feature. This update is only available for RTX 30 Series GPUs.
Welp, updated drivers and bios on my gigaybyte 3080 and showing as enabled RBAR now
Had a problem where it was throwing an error about locating a file in appdata but moving the tool to C drive and running from there sorted it.
I'm going to guess it'll only be the 3000 series? If you want it, new card. If you can find one that you want.

My recommendation for Pascal GPU users don't change much from past drivers releases. If you are still on the 456.71 driver, (or the 456.98 Hotfix released shortly after that one), and you don't have issues on your currently played games, I don't see any compelling reason to upgrade, at least for performance
Any support for older than 10th gen Intel CPUs is unofficial and at the behest of the motherboard manufacturer. Nvidia says your mileage may vary. The thing I don't understand is why Nvidia don't list Ryzen 3000 as being officially supported when AMD do.This has apparently been working on linux for multiple generations of hardware, that only needed the above 4g decoding option enabled.
Ultimately it is artificial segmentation for the windows market, I am pleasantly surprised they are going back to coffeelake cpus, I expected them to be very aggressive in trying to make people upgrade hardware for a software change.
For sure harsh though that not even turing gets this. Also that Radeon REBAR only works on AMD cpus.
