Yarrr mateys! This here unofficial patch be fixin' what them scallywags at Nvidia be ignorin' for our trusty ol' graphics cards! Thar be no match for the power o' the clever pirates on the high seas! Aye, we be sailin' smooth now!

Avast ye mateys! A new mod be available that can give a boost to the performance of yer Nvidia GTX 16 and RTX 20 series graphics cards. This mod be bringin' the Resizable BAR feature to these cards, which be makin' use of AMD’s Smart Access Memory technology to lift memory limitations and improve game performance. Nvidia and Intel have also adopted this feature, but previously it be only available for RTX 3000 cards.But fear not, developer 'Terminatorul' has created a UEFI driver called NvStrapsReBar that allows ReBAR to work with older GTX 1600 and RTX 2000 cards. This tool be patchin' yer motherboard's UEFI firmware to set the resizable BAR size and boost frame rates.However, there be risks involved in patchin' yer motherboard this way, and the gains from ReBAR may be minimal with older Nvidia GPUs. It be a bit of a gamble, as the performance improvement might be small or even have a negative impact. We recommend proceedin' with caution and only if ye be experienced in such matters. But for those brave enough to try, more power to ye!
