How to Enable ReBAR for RTX 20 Series and Older Through Mods

How to enable ReBAR for RTX 20 Series — Ever since AMD popularised the idea of ReBAR (ResizableBAR), Intel and NVIDIA have soon adopted this technology to be adapted into their GPU lineups. Not long after, the motherboard manufacturers also joined the ship by enabling this feature when it got paired with suitable hardware.

Unfortunately, while AMD and Intel decided to adopt and integrate this technology into their current and even older lineups, the same case cannot be said for NVIDIA as it decided to lock this feature only to their RTX 30 series and upwards despite its older lineups being more than capable— but not for long as with the help of mods, RTX 20 users and even GTX 16 series can finally able to use ReBAR.
