GT 730 Misleading UEFI Support?

[cool_recep]

One of our readers have a GT 730 GPU and GPU-Z reports is as UEFI supported but when he disables CSM, his system can not boot.

I believe the this is an issue with GT 730 being Fermi and Kepler mixed. Fermi cards don't have UEFI maybe?

Thanks for the heads up. Can you get me the BIOS?

This BIOS definitely has UEFI support, note the marked "f1 0e", which reversed becomes 0e f1, or "uefi". This is the UEFI BIOS indicator

when he disables CSM, his system can not boot.

That's kind of vague. Like does the system POST but not boot Windows? Or does it just never even POST?

When I hear "can not boot" I assume it can POST but not boot into Windows. Which if Windows was installed using the CSM, and then you turn off the CSM, of course Windows won't boot.

This is the error he is getting after disabling CSM:

Have you updated the motherboard bios?

Maybe it's just fussy as to which Motherboard it is compatible with, it sounds a lot like the early AMD cards that are like that.

I would like to ask what kind of compatibility issues the early AMD cards have
Which generations of AMD cards have the problem you mentioned

 

[eidairaman1]

I have a Sapphire 290 VaporX and a XFX Ghost R7 250, I will be using the 250 in a B550 mobo, but it wont be soon enough for an answer.

 

[regorwin56]

understand

After you know, can you tell me that I want to understand this problem with early AMD graphics cards

Another user having problem with GT 630. Motherboard is MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX.

I've asked for BIOS version.

rx480/ 580
I have read a few threads here where users have seen the issue where UEFI is checked yet the GPU does not work unless CSM is checked.

Uefi code is outdated on them

I am using my RX 480 just fine in UEFI mode - OS is Windows 10 64-bit Pro, ver. 21H2.
However, this is on a very old Intel Ivy Bridge mobo (socket LGA1155). CPU is Intel Core i5 with 4 cores/4 threads.

I don't know how the same GPU would work on newer Intel chipsets/platforms or on newer AMD mobos - I've no experience with those.

EDIT: Corrected Intel platform - it's Ivy Bridge, not Haswell.

I know that on second(?) gen ryzen, Nvidias 600 and 700 series GPU's wont display an output in UEFI unless you lock the system to PCI-E 2.0


There is some weird, hidden compatibility issues sometimes

I have the same problem with my video card NVIDIA Geforce GT 740 on Main moard MSI Z490-A-PRO Could it be that card is not compatible with the Main board or vice versa?

This probably has something to do with the driver firmware in the EFI partition when your operating system was installed, likely with a different make and model card.

One idea, create a partition (or a different drive) and install windows fresh (which will create a new EFI partition with proper drivers) with the GPU installed to see if the issues goes away.

I think you are right but I won't do anyrhing until next week, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thabk you

Thank you

How did it go? Did it work, please?

 

[Mycomp]

I did reinstalled Win10 on a new partition and it worked,

Thank you
