I am about to update my graphics card from 2 older Nvidia GTS 250 graphics cards w/ SLI to one cars. This is an old computer and I'm wondering if I need to update the BIOS before installing the new card? Probably running the original BIOS.

Mobo Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
CPU Intel i7 930 @ 2.8 ghz
Windows 10 pro

New graphics card: Radeon XFX RX550 4 gb (I know this card is too good for my processor but it was cheap)

Thank you!

As a rule, DO NOT update any bios unless the update fixes a problem that is impacting you.
A bad flash can render your part useless with possibly no recovery.
