Its possible but not very likely. There is a BIOS update that came out last year for that board that mentions "Updated AMD GPU compatibility" but there is no more info than that, and it could mean anything (such as older GPUs)

To be honest updating the BIOS is a lot easier and safer these days, MSI has a program called LiveUpdate 6 that will do it for you, its pretty foolproof to do, if you are concerned.

The latest version just came out last month.
