At first, I thought that I managed to reproduce this, however, after more investigation it looks like that (at least in my case) resizable bar wasn't actually working (despite being enabled in uefi), and CPU-X was falsely reporting it as enabled.

You can check this with sudo dmesg | grep -i bar, it should output something like

[5.706574] [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=8176M, BAR=8192M

If the BAR value is 256M, then rebar isn't working.

What fixed this for me was disabling CSM/legacy boot in UEFI settings. After this rebar got enabled.

Please check that you aren't experiencing the same situation.
