Hi bubbanamahead

 

The Intel H61 chipset is circa 2011.

 

This motherboard has a Legacy BIOS.

 

The GTX 1070 only works with a UEFI BIOS .

 

There is no update to your PC's BIOS to fix this.

 

You can install an Nvidia GTX 600 series graphics card. Sapphire makes some newer AMD graphics cards (X series) that will run in either Legacy or UEFI BIOS.

 

MSI makes some AMD cards that will also work. MSI also makes an Nvidia 750Ti card that will work.

 

You may need to consider buying or building a new PC if you want to play demanding games.

 

Grzy
