Does it require a motherboard with a UEFI BIOS? My 6 year old PC doesn't have one and I'm worried the card won't work. Thank you for your help!

You should be fine as long as your motherboard supports pci-e x16 (2.0). Just be sure to update your bios through the motherboard manufacture. You may run into some other issues, but it depends on what you've got (integrated graphics, etc). I would also make sure the power supply is at least 350 watts.

No it doesn't. I am using 2 PNY (for hashing) on G41M-P33 COMBO motherboard, which does not have UEFI BIOS.

Gigabyte HybridEFI is the worst EFI implementation anywhere, hands down. I would avoid buying a new Gigabyte board with "dual bios" an "hybrid EFI" for that reason alone. It'll work ok if you only run a single install of Windows and only use the default setup, but anything else is asking for trouble.Get the Asus.

I dont think you will need a BIOS update for this generation card ( 660 ) mine is installed in a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 570 and works great and I also have 4 3 year old HP computers running 5 and 6 series cards at the office.

At the time I bought it needs bios update but in this time I have no clear answer but bios update you better e-mile msi support about it

Yes, you still need to install an internal card. Hopefully you have some vacant PCIe slots in your computer.

It require an PCI Express X16 slot. I use a G41M-P23 Motherboard That has that slot on it

I am not sure about the UEFI bios, can I can confirm that SSD comes with the latest firmware. I ccompared the firmware on my drive with the latest firmware on the crucial web site, and it was up to date. I hope this helps

So I think I am miss understanding. You are having a Graphics Card Issue. Would you like the Bios from the Graphics card? can you please explain a little more in depth exactly what you are trying to do?

No, you would need to update the BIOS. Go to the MSI site, look for this particular product, then look in the area for the product for Support (NOT the support listed at the top of the page) and then for compatibility. The BIOS update needed should be there. You can also look for Updates there as well.

Only for the two USB 3 ports to work. Everything else will work fine. If you do not have a USB 3 connection on your motherboard, you can get a pci-e USB 3 card for cheap (~ $10)and use that. Just make sure that it also has the internal connectors.

Frank, I am surprised your W7 Ult. did not recognise the card. I just had to install it in to the PCIE slot on the motherboard and after rebooting the system just installed the driver. Alternatively go to the Trendnet site and download the right driver. You will need the exact model number to have the right driver . Cheers, Les

Server 2012 /2012R@ drivers are listed at http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr600-download.htm I believe I used this on a Server 2012 Storage Server build with no issues. It does NOT work well with some UEFI BIOSes, so that may be an issue for you. The first board I used was a UEFI and I could not select this card as a boot device. Hope this helps, and good luck.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

More crucial in the question to ask is not what computer it is, but what Operating System it uses. The former is only important to know if it has any available PCI slots to use (most desktops have at least one open slot). The latter question is about whether you need drivers that will work with your computer. What version of Windows are you running?

You need PCI-E for this. If you only have PCI or AGP then it's most likely too old for gaming anyway as your CPU won't cope

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it.http://goo.gl/7108ON

If you mean will it boot from a multi TB drive, Yes, it has uefi bios.Most motherboards will support them with GPT format but only as a second drive.
