Resizable BAR update MSI mainboard, what to consider?

Hi fellow LTT fans,

 

I have an MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon with a Core i9 9900K and RTX 2070 super. There is a bios update available which enables the feature Linus discussed recently: Resizable BAR.
Just a quick question before I update the bios, are there any things I need to consider before doing this? Is it worth it considering my gpu?

Thanks everyone in advance for your advise.

Thanks to NVIDIA for not releasing Resizable Bar support for RTX 20 series cards, I would not bother with updating the BIOS on the motherboard as it's most likely a Beta BIOS and there can be issues related to Beta BIOS's. I don't find it to be worth while with your current GPU.
