How to Search for UEFI GPUs

[tsc_mjolnir]

Community:

Early TL;DR: how could I locate a list of or find UEFI-ready GPUs to compare against each other for future build?

I am currently researching a build I plan on making towards the end of this year or the beginning of the next.

I currently have my W10 x64 loaded onto a PCIE NVMe SSD, but troubleshooting the issues that took a week was by far the longest week in my life since the Navy (longest troubleshooting I did took ~70 hours due to multiple issues).

This being said, the main issue was that my GPU (GTX 690) was UEFI-incompatible. After messing with the GPU BIOS [[WHICH I DO NOT RECOMMEND UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPARE CARD/MACHINE]], I was able to get it to work.

In my new machine I plan on using several NVMe SSDs thus I need UEFI-ready GPUs, but when I search for them I can't seem to find the options on NewEgg, TigerDirect, MicroCenter, etc.

Thus, I need help in locating or determining which GPUs are UEFI-ready, but any information in regards to the overall subject of building a rig using UEFI boot with PCIe NVMe SSDs

This is my first post, so I do apologize ahead of time if it was a bit lengthy.

NOTE: I am looking for UEFI GPUs that are best for both AMD and Intel builds.

when the older intel x3x chipset came out that when most of the gpu started to be uefi gpu. the issue with some gpu and some mb over the years were that some gpu firmware was not done right and some of the higher end gpu would pull more then 75v on the pci bus causing some mb to think there was a power surge. today 900 nviida and above gpu should be 100 percent uefi gpu. on amd side any gpu from 200 gpu on up todays gpu should be 100 percent uefi gpu. just make sure on your build to update the bios is there any bug fixes for gpu.

I incredibly appreciate covering both the AMD and Intel sides too! You have saved me a lot of time and confusion, thank you.

no problem just make sure the new gpu if it one of the newer high end gpu use good cooling on the vrm of the cards. evga been having issue of there cards vrm going up in flames. there been a lot of youtube and posts about there cards. some of the newer asus gpu have over sized heat sinks to keep fans from comming on till the gpu hits a set temp.
