Optiplex 3010 GPU

Hey guys

i just got a refurb 3010 and was wondering if i could run a RX 470 gpu

i will be changing the PSU so that's not the issue. I'm worried the motherboard won't support the gpu since it needs a uefi bios.

I can't find any info on whether this motherboard supports uefi.

Thanks in advance

The Optiplex BIOS- General- Boot Sequence- Boot List Option shows both Legacy and UEFI.

Check the manufacturer of the video card. Some video cards have a switch on them for Legacy or UEFI.

This one does not. Looks like I'll have to reinstall windows in UEFI mode since by default it's on Legacy.

The 3010 has a very poor implementation of UEFI. Will not boot UEFI from installation media. The 7010 and 9010 does work. Using BIOS A17. Not sure if this is by design or what.
