That is a UEFI bios so you shouldn't have much of a issue unless your running in Legacy mode which most likely your not. You really should keep your bios updated though.

The OP's BIOS version is old, the newest one is from 2016. Just try the new card and see if it works, if it doesn't then update the BIOS.
