ASUS P8Z68-V GEN3 & R9 270X

Hello everyone,
I need a new graphic card on this motherboard (P8Z68-V GEN3) to play new games, especially FIFA 17.
I would like to know if I can install a R9 270x card on this motherboard pls?
I got a core i7 2600K 3.40ghz to play this game. got 16G memory. but my radeon is too old.
Thanxs for answer,
Regards,

''I have a really strange problem.

Since I a gigabyte R9 270 X 4 GB (in my system got the UEFI working mode or the Board (ASUS P8Z68-V nor GEN3) no longer enters this mode (no postal code beep).)

As soon as I make to legacy everything runs properly, what can this be? The latest BIOS is on it (3603). The R270X should actually be compatible UEFI...

a few find that there older boards may not take the latest cards with out bios update help z68 is one of them and NVidia cards 900 series and up tend to be this way at times as well

which graphic card can I install instead of amd cards? gtx?

?? I think you stand a better chance with a AMD card then you do with a NVidia card over a 700 series ? you just need to research that and see if anyone has any issues with that board and any latest cards ?

may just be as simple as flashing the board to it latest bios that may support the latest cards ?? some time on some boards they don't even get that and stuck using older cards

thing is I would of thought a AMD 200 series would be safe

see like here with NVidia 900 series

''Just tried a New PSU a friend bought today for him. Wasnt the issue. Already flashed my BIOS and reset the CMOS. I guess ill buy a New mobo. I hope a z77 will work.''

you kinda see it for the most part NVidia 900 or above cards that struggle on older boards like yours you don't see maybe one or two with a AMD card reported ??
then if this is your board you see the bios dates are 2012 ?? that's well behind the newer cards release dates and not current to them ??

all you can do is buy , try , and hope it don't make you cry

ya heres a r9 209 with a like issue as above having to use the legacy mode with it ??

like I said I think you stand a far better chance with a AMD 200 series card - I think I would risk it and remember whats said in like the link above if needed ??

things aint just so plug and play anymore as it once was

vass60530 · Sep 13, 2016

junkeymonkey · Sep 13, 2016
