Not necessarily. A lot of older non-UEFI motherboards won't recognize newer UEFI graphics cards, despite the fact that the PCIe slots are compatible with the card. For a board that old, 8 or 9 years, I'd stick to HD series AMD or older 7xx or 6xx series Nvidia cards.

Mr Ramnoob, what country are you in?

Australia, and I don't think that my computer is worth upgrading. I'll just wait 'till I finish high school, work my arse of, scrape some cash and maybe buy a new computer if I'm still into games

thanks for the answers peeps!
