Are we talking two different things here? kaitlin seems to be referring to the card's BIOS in post #19, and the motherboard BIOS in the OP.

i meant that my mobo doesnt have a uefi bios so i figured the gpu would not be supported
Well, that sounds discouraging. Isn't the 960 the OP previously had a PCIe 3.0 card?

PCI-e 3.0 has nothing to do with it.
I've seen a HP machine NOT accept a PCIE 3.0 card because of a Bios-based locked down (Think it was Sandy bridge based). Even though spec was backwards compatible, the bios did not allow it. Changing around to other 2.0 cards worked fine. A more modern 3.0 card just would not work, however. It was a pre-built SFF OEM style computer.
It has everything to do with post #26.
You do know that the card she is replacing is a pci-e 3.0 right? That was in I believe post one if you want to be specific. The issue has zilch to do with pci-e version in this case and more to do if the board will post with a purely UEFI card slapped in. Some of them will not.
new gpu works well boots to windows no problems now i just need to relearn the amd gpu settings lol
