@Pratyush_123 , welcome to the forum.

 

Here is the information on video cards in the Product Specifications page:

 

Graphics
  • Professional 2D: NVIDIA Quadro NVS290 (256MB, up to two cards) and NVIDIA Quadro NVS440 (256MB, can be used in dual configuration with NVS290) (expected availability Q1, 2008)
  • Entry 3D: NVIDIA Quadro FX370 (256MB, up to two cards) and NVIDIA Quadro FX570 (256MB, up to two cards)
  • Mid-range 3D: ATI FireGL V5600 (512MB) and NVIDIA Quadro FX1700 (512MB, up to two cards) High-end 3D: NVIDIA Quadro FX3500 (256MB), NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 (512MB)

 

The workstation was released in 2009 according to the information that I was able to find.  This means that it won't have UEFI in the motherboard.  The newer cards require UEFI.

 

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
