Okay so to somewhat summarize... my AMD 7850 after many years finally went bad. I have been pinching pennies and can finally afford to buy one within reason.
I originally went out and purchased a RX 550 4GB card by XFX only to find out that my motherboard isn't UEFI Bios/Boot compatible.
This puts me into a slightly difficult situation as I have zero knowledge as to what that means I can really get.
Below you will find my current computer specs, my budget, and my preferred stores.
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8320
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 EVO
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
Budget: I would prefer $100 or less. I don't do a lot of gaming and when I do it isn't very often and the main thing I play is GTA V with friends. I am not looking for 1080p, or high resolution or anything. Due to a disability I will likely use 800x600 to be totally honest with you.
I would prefer a store like BestBuy, Walmart, Newegg one of those three. I am not very big on Amazon, Ebay, and the alike. I like in the Eastern United states if that helps your search criteria.
Just remember, the card cannot be a UEFI compatible card due to the factor it will just black screen with my motherboard. To describe the event for anybody else who is having a similar issue. The computer boots up and runs but the screen will just be black. This is due to the UEFI part. Very unfortunate as I had high hopes for that card.
To show I have helped already I see on Bestbuy for me under $100 I have an option between
a AMD R7 240 4gb (this would be the ideal one but I have no idea if it will work!)
