Hello everyone at the Tom's hardware forums!
I've got a kind of complicated problem, I'll first explain the situation: I'm planning to upgrade my current GTX 760 OEM 1.5GB graphics card but ran into a problem. I've got a pre-build Medion PC. Now i've checked pretty much everything for the asus turbo GTX1060 6g, The PSU (450W) is fine (My current card draws more power), the physical size of the card will fit easily, etc. There is just one thing I actually didn't know about before and that is the NVIDIA GPU BIOS. I know there were drivers but I had never heard that there was also GPU Bios software. So now my question is if my current "NVIDIA GPU UEFI Driver (80.04.C3.00.5B) will work with the GTX 1060/ if it is even important/ what it actually does? Would also love to hear from people who've the same problem.
btw. I've contacted both MEDION and NVIDIA about this matter and they both replied pretty vague, with Medion responding that it should indeed work in theory but that they are not sure and they won't support me. Nvidia responed that it may or may not work.
Best regards, Thomas Mulder.
