Hi,
I have a MSI Radeon 7750 GPU which is working perfectly fine in combination with a C2Q 8500 and DDR2 RAM. This is a PC my mom uses, so I decided to upgrade it.
I bought a B660 motherboard, i3 12100F and 2x8GB DDR4 3000. That way I can reuse the already in working PSU, GPU, HDD/SDDs and case.
When I assembled everything, the PC was not booting up (no output on the monitor), so I went error hunting.
After some time, I found LEDs on the motherboard, which tell me that the GPU seems to be the problem. I assumed the problem is in the connection, since I have a very old 19" LCD with VGA, but connecting through a VGA -> DVI cable with the GPU. This was not the case. My friend had some other parts and he tried the GPU on his PC, and it is working fine. He has, I guess, an older 2nd or 3rd generation Intel i3 (i3 2xxx or i3 3xxx) system. He has the same GPU, we bought it almost in the some month, 9-10y back, so we cannot test another GPU.
I wrote a mail to the MB manufacturer and he gave me a hint, that this might be a problem with UEFI / legacy mode on the GPU, and that the motherboard only supports GPUs with UEFI mode. I assembled a few PCs myself, consider myself someone with OK knowledge about PCs and IT. I had a Pentium4, Core2Duo, Core2Quad, Ryzen Zen 2700X and now a i3 12100F (which I never saw in action) and I never heard that the GPUs had UEFI mode and never system don's support older cards without UEFI. On my follow-up question to the MB OEM, on which GPU generation have the UEFI mode, so that I can purchase a used GPU (since I want an office PC, not a gaming rig), the answer did not help me at all. I got the reply to check GPU-Z, since there is a checkbox which depicts the UEFI mode available or not.
This reply is really not helpful, I have no access to a DB where I can get this info. Anyway, since I read a lot of reviews on TechPowerUp, I wanted to ask the community on weather someone has the idea, which GPU (AMD or nVidia) have a UEFI mode.
There is also another option, for me to sell the i3 and get a Core i5 12400, which has an integrated GPU. But this would be option 2, because I would need to sell the i3 first.
Thanks for any clues
One info maybe, I was not able to find anything regarding UEFI mode on the AMD/nVidia product websites.
Maybe I was not looking in the right place, but on the first few glances I couldn't find it.
