If they are planning to add resizable BAR to older gen like rtx 20 and/or older then i'll be much appreciated as it's going to be extra feature for older gen which wasn't offer at that time.
I wouldn't hold my breath. I don't know why some of you are getting so wound up over this. It's not going to magically make some unplayable game playable or give you a noticeable increase at all. If you are already at the limits of your GPU rendering capability, this isn't going to remedy that or breathe new life into your card. If your hypothetical GPU is already working as hard as it can, it doesn't really matter if it has faster or more efficient access to memory because it won't do anything to increase performance if the GPU can't process what it already has fast enough. For example if your card is struggling at 4K and getting 30fps in XXX game, enabling resizeable BAR isn't going to push that to 60 or even 40fps. It's just not going to matter. Even if we take best case scenario and it does get a 10% performance bump that's 3 frames per second. You, nor any other human being is going to be able to perceive the difference between a 30 or 33fps average in performance. That's also not to mention the very real possibility of negative scaling and it actually reducing your performance in some titles.
All these posts of "customer appreciation" as a way for Nvidia to show support to people who feel like they are obligated to do so make me laugh. The real and hard truth is that it just isn't going to matter even if they did waste time and money to develop support for it.
