@caveman13, welcome to the forum.

 

All newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a Legacy/standard BIOS.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012.  The last series of cards to not require UEFI are the GTX 660/670's.  I suggest choosing the manufacturer that you like and contacting their Tech Support for help with choosing the best card for your system.  This will save you frustration and money on product returns.
