P7-1280t and i5 2320 installing GEFORCE GTX 1060

[mikeytwc]

okay, i know its an older mobo and is outdated.....

P7-1280t, but its what i can afford

win 8.1   64 bit

intel 15-2320@3ghz

psu-not sure but believe 450 or so

mobo-pegatron 2ac2

southbridge H61 rev B3

bios AMI version 7.19

i have seen the UEFI option in the bios, and am wondering the folllowing

I thought i knew more than i actually do and went ahead and bought a Geforce gtx-1060(yes I know)

can this card be installed using this motherboard/cpu combo

(i think it needs version 8 or higher for the bios) even tho this bios currently has UEFI

if the bios UEFI is enabled, do i need to reinstall my OS or install win10(bought that as well)

If i need to reinstall win8 or win10, will i need to format my drives for UEFI, or in the standard partition acceptable.

i know a lot of questions....Want it to work but fear i got in over my head with this GPU

thanks for any info you can assist me with

Hi,

No, you can't install GTX 1xxx card to your computer. Older motherboard and current BIOS don't support this. You need BIOS 8 and over.
