Hi All,
I hope you are well.
I have this old PC with:
an AMD processor (AMD FX-8350, the most powerful I could install on this MB)
MB is ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
32GB of RAM
The PSU is brand new Corsair TX650M.

Will this rather newish GPU work on it?
I think this GPU needs PCIe Gen3 to work.
The MB only has these slots:
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16
1 x PCIe 2.0 x1
1 x PCI

2x separate PCI power cables are connected to it.
I can get to BIOS but then when I want to boot to OS it goes blank.
I tried to boot to RescueCD USB stick but same thing - blank screen.

I was able to launch AMD Radeon RX 590 8GB on this system but it's a card from 2018 not from 2019.
Please let me know.
Thank you
