UEFI has been the norm for well over a decade at this point. If you're trying to run a brand new GPU in a 15+ year-old system, you've already made many mistakes.
Yeah... I was a little confused myself.
Wasn't uefi a must already for windows 10 computers? Atleast for win 11 it is. We are probably talking 10-20% max of global computers that are affected and those also the type of computers that are not generally upgrading to RDNA4.
I believe it's a must for store-bought PCs, but it can be installed on BIOS systems manually
Nope, I've been running Win10 on multiple computers with a BIOS.
AFAIK, UEFI isn't technically a requirement. However, TPM 2.0 is, and that requires UEFI.
TPM 2.0 does not require UEFI. I have a system here with TPM 2.0 and only legacy boot support. And you can just buy a TPM 2.0 module and connect it with any board, that has a SPI connector.
