Product: z2 g9
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am trying to benchmark some gpus, some of which I know work but when I try to install anything except an rtx 3070, it starts beep booping and a red light flashes on the power button. Two of the gpus, a 8800gtx and a radeon hd 4870 I already know work because I have used them before in a different system. Is this a common issue that can be fixed?

Greetings @kipp_ 

 

My guess is your PC is using a newer UEFI BIOS.

 

The 3070 needs UEFI.

 

The older GPUs won't run on a UEFI BIOS.

 

Regards
