Upgrade video card: Legacy BIOS or UEFI BIOS?

Balthasar85 · Jun 19, 2016

Hi, my Asus P5QL-E motherboard is not compatible with UEFI BIOS and video cards that are compatible must have a traditional BIOS to work.
I currently use a video card MSI 750Ti with "hybrid bios."

Now I want to update my video card but do not know if these two cards can work on my motherboard and on the internet I can not find answers.
EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW
GV-N760WF3-2GD

Can you help me? Thanks so much.

The Gigabyte GTX760 (gv-n760w53-2gd) was released a few months after the 750, so should be compatible.
OEM version aren't UEFI compatible, i'm not certain on brand name units.

It's not worth buying either of those cards. You'd be better off saving your cash and upgrading your whole system later on.

How does that answer the O.P's question? :slap:

and dont forget to look at your power supply if you get a stronger card?
and if ya have the pci-e cables on it to run a gtx 670?
all gpu´s should be backwards compatible.
