Hello everyone,

I am currently looking forward to order a Radeon 480 Nitro card and through some extensive reading I have stumbled upon several threads were users have problems with booting their systems with motherboards using legacy bios.

I currently have an old and cheap MB H61m-ds2 (rev 1.2) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4021#ov and it has me completely confused about its bios version. Product page indicates that it has some kind of Hybrid EFI technology, meanwhile Sapphire product page for Radeon 480 nitro states UEFI bios as a requirement (http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=A471FEC5-AAA9-482B-81C3-4A7E059A3574&lang=eng).

So will my motherboard handle this card?

P.S. Currently I have ASUS GTX 760 DCUII OC installed

I am currently running a I5 2500, I hope it will cut it.

I have doubled checked Run>MSInfo32 and it states that I have legacy Bios running at the moment. Are you certain that there would be no problem?
