In order to use the resizable BAR/SAM feature, you need a compatible CPU and GPU. This would make it possible to use older CPUs but you'll still need a compatible GPU which I think it's series 2000 and newer for nVidia, so no.

edit: technically you also need a compatible motherboard, but seems like most of them are, never hurts to double check

Hmm, I've got a 3080 in my i7 5930K system. I wonder if it works on that?

Solid chance. Take a peek at the github repo, someone might have even done it already
