So I’m planning on purchasing a RX 460 for an old 2009 desktop I have. Namely the HP a6700y. I know I’m better off buying a whole new pc but for right now I would rather pay $60 for a gpu I could use for a good amount of time as I research and gather the funds for future upgrades. Now my question is if it’ll run on the MCP61PM-HM (nettle3) motherboard as it uses BIOS and later gpus tend to have issues with old motherboards because they use UEFI while the mobos use BIOS. But for this card specifically some people report that it does in fact work. So before I buy the gpu I want to be 100% certain that it will just be “plug and play” and not have any issues and that is my question. If anyone has experience with my motherboard or similar to it and could provide any reassurance it would help ease my mind greatly. From scouring the Internet I think there’s a good chance it will work but I would love more reassurance.
Also anyone know if the 4gb dual fam version would fit in this motherboard? It looks as if the ram slots would be in the way but I’m not entirely sure how the gpu would fit in its pcie slot. So for now I’m looking into getting a single fan 2gb version. My games are mostly indie/low graphic intensive so I’m not expecting to play AAA titles on high/ultra.
