m15 R4, VBIOS update, Nvidia Resizable BAR

I have the Alienware m15 R4 with Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080. I would like to enable the Nvidia Resizable BAR. I understand to do this you must update your GPU VBIOS first.

The Dell website locates this VBIOS update for my RTX 3080 =

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060/3070/3080 Firmware Update Utility, VBIOS version 94.04.42.00.14, m15 R4/m17 R4

But when I try to install in I get an error "not allowed". How can I successfully flash the VBIOS?

GPUZ forum admits its a bug that it shows disabled.  I'd trust what NVIDIA says over a 3rd party anyway in this case.  its also shows disabled on my non-alienware 3070 that shows enabled in NVIDIA

That's good to know that it's a GPU-Z bug. I guess once we get the newer version, it will align with what it says in nvidia control panel. Good find.
