[SOLVED] Radeon RX 590 Fatboy 8GB Compatibility

[fishead1966]

Hello,
I built a computer many years ago using:
Motherboard: MSI PH67A-C43
Processor: Intel i7-2600K @ 3.4GHz
memory: Corsair 8GB DD3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560

Everything works great - until my kid wants to play a new game with more graphics requirements. So, I purchased a Radeon RX 590 Fatboy 8GB card that produces no signal.
Both power supplies are correctly connected (both LEDs are blue).
I upgraded the BIOS to the latest (August of 2012)
Using the HDMI output to a new monitor (the monitor works with the old graphics card and a VGA cable)

Am I just trying to use too new a graphics card for the motherboard? Any suggestions?
Thank you very much!

I suspect the RX 590 is not compatible with your motherboard's old style BIOS (not UEFI) and will not work in this system.

Also, what is the make/model of your PSU?

Do you have access to a newer system to test the GPU in?

Hello,
The psu is a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750 watt.
I do not have access to test it in something newer.
I am not sure, but I think it does have the UEFI Bios. It has a graphic menu not like the traditional DOS bios.

If my motherboard isn't compatible, is it worth replacing the motherboard for something newer but still keep the old socket so I can keep the i7 processor I have, or... get a GPU that is compatible with what I have? If I need to replace the GPU, any recommendations?
Thank you!

I would agree with COLGeek, except that that motherboard does appear to have UEFI BIOS (all H67 boards do ... right?).

Agreed, it does have an early UEFI style BIOS.

It would still appear to be a compatibility issue, if the RX 590 works. The PSU should be adequate.

I would not just change the motherboard. If you are going to go to the trouble, you should consider upgrading to a more modern CPU/mobo/memory combo. Just a suggestion.
