Is 11268-01-20G graphics card compatible with 760GMA-P34 motherboard legacy bios?

Hello,

Is the Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 550 4GB GDDR5 11268-01-20G compatible with MSI 760GMA-P34 motherboard? I have concerns about the BIOS compatibility as the graphics card specification on the Sapphire website lists in a table that the card supports UEFI BIOS and nothing else is listed.

I don't think the motherboard having a legacy BIOS matters. The motherboard has a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot and the video card is compatible with PCI-E 2.0, they match.

the newer RX series video card are UEFI supporting Video cards, much like the NVIDIA 10xx series need a UEFI. and sometimes a motherboard without it, manages to run it anyways. all that to say is have you searched the web for your motherboard and rx 550 to see if the questions was asked before/answered?

Looking for specs one notices yes its a PCE x16 slot but not the recent mode 3.0 but The 760GMA-P34 has a PCI-E x16 slot that conforms to the PCI Express 2.0 standard, (ref: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/pcs/motherboards/53334/msi-760gma-p34-review)

Why does it matter? well one would find a newer RX 550 (PCIE 3.0) to down steppe itself to run at a 2.0 mode, meaning it will never (if it actually runs on that bios) run at its full possibility, never mind the cpu being a bottleneck, the motherboard becomes the bottleneck.

you can always try it real quick, store bough, cut wrapper and try the card in your system, but dont be surprise if it doesn't run, repack and return it

Alternative solution nvidia GTX 750 TI, will out perform the RX 550 and has been around since 2014 which means more likely less expensive, known to work on older system including FX, and DuoCore2 quad systems.

I'm running a 580 on a asus760g board as old as yours (same chipset) with No issue.

I would update the board bios to the latest one If its not already.
