I want to get a gt 1030 For my old pc
My power supply only provides 275w but also the card only requires 30w.
Msi provides a low profile version of gt 1030 so fitting in my sff won't be a problem.
The two things that concern me now are :
1 - the ram type : the ram type of gt 1030 is mostly gddr5 . But the ram type of my old gpu is gddr3. Will I face any kind of incompatibility when I replace gddr3 gpu with gddr5 one ?
2 - bios support : I'm pretty sure my bios mode is legacy, I'm also sure I have the latest version provided by dell, which is 4 years old. But I think the card only supports uefi since msi stated that gt(x) l0+ cards no longer support legacy. By any means can uefi gpu work with legacy bios?
What would happen if try to boot with the card?
will I get no display at all.
or will it display but I would be stuck in the boot screen.
or will it give black screen during boot then give display when windows loads ?
I'll buy the card online so I would really wanna know if it will work or not before I buy it.
I accept the third possibility from above questions.
If you guys know of a trick that might help my situation, please let me in. Thank You !
