Does Vega outdate older i7 motherboards?

[Rexer]

Something I don't know here. I heard a rumor that the new AMD Vega card will BSOD on Broadwell 58X and Sandy Bridge motherboards. How much truth is there to that? I have a old 3770k Ivy Bridge that been an outstanding CPU but as with Sandy Bridge is based on same the 1155 H2 socket.
I'm sure this is a driver issue. Right? I hope. Lol. I just bought a Vega 64.

Do you have a link to the rumor?

Read it while browsing Newegg product reviews. An owner of a Gigabyte AMD Vega 56 punched it up on his review. Apparently he BSOD and tried to trouble shoot his problem without success, narrowing it down to the driver. Something about his motherboard being without UEFI? So I'm lost to that end. But that strikes me as weird since AMD advertises Vega works with Pcie 2 as a system requirement. X58 is i7 Pcie 2 so I don't see this as a problem. So I thought I'd float his situation on Tom's Forum to see if anyone knew anything about this. I'm wonder if I'm gonna encounter the same thing. Any idea?

It's not a rumor, Google "Vega BSOD" and you will see many guys on PCI-E 2.0 based boards with non-UEFI boards running Windows 10 that have this issue. Seems the Windows 7 version of AMD's drivers is fine but new games are starting to require Win 10 so that does no good

My i7 920 's still my workhorse. It's received mods and upgrades for years. After 8 1/2 yrs., it doesn't run Windows 7 without grumbling so retire it to the closet isn't such a bad idea. But the 3770k is only 4 yrs. old. Pretty amazing how tech out dates itself.
