Question Would this GPU run on my mobo?

[Brandon316]

Would RX 570 8 GB nitro run on x58 gigabyte?
If not is there a solution?

 

[-Fran-]

Since the X58 is quite old, you may need to upgrade the BIOS. Other than that, you'll need a ~500W PSU with decent 12v rails with good amperes delivery as I'd imagine you're using an old K/X CPU and those sucked quite a lot of power on their own.

Cheers!

YES. Any motherboard chipset having a vacant PCI Express x16 slot will work with the GPU. Just make sure you update the BIOS, if need be. Though, the last BIOS is pretty old on your motherboard, dated 2011-08-26.

List your full PC specs, including the make and model number of your PSU.

I can't list my PC specs, I forgot most of them and I'm too lazy to check but I have a brand new PSU, overclocked x5650 to 4.2/4.3, GTX 960 4 GB, SSD and 500GB harddrive.
What BIOS do you recommend?

Get HWiNFO portable version from here. Run it and it will give you information about your components.

Ok, thanks.
What BIOS version should I use?

I assume you'd want to go with the absolute latest BIOS.

On another note, what's the exact brand and model number of your new PSU? There are good PSUs, and utter crap ones.

You'd have to check with the manufacturer's website for the BIOS. Generally the latest is the best. Sometimes other versions are better for certain situations, however, usually the latest is the best. Especially in your case, trying a new card on an old chipset/board, I'd say go with the latest version.

Not a bad idea to search around the web and see if anyone is actually using that card on that board and if they've done it what BIOS they have.

Read manufacturer's instructions on updating the BIOS thoroughly in your boards manual. There's always a slight risk with updating the BIOS. If anything goes wrong in the middle, or you shut down before it's over you might brick your board.

Not trying to discourage you. Just saying read up the manual/instructions to avoid making mistakes.

I have no idea why I can't find what's the latest BIOS...

There are several motherboards listed as x58 or x58a or ex58. You'll need to know the exact one. This is what I found from a quick Google search:

You need to know what model your board is to look for its BIOS. Run that application I posted and it will tell you your motherboard's model and also the BIOS version you have.

It also has a feature that looks for the latest BIOS but I haven't used it myself. It might point to the manufacturer's website where you can download the latest BIOS. I wouldn't use it if it needs another application to search and install the BIOS.

Do exactly whatever the motherboard's website/manual says.

The last/latest BIOS version of your motherboard is FH, dated 2012-01-06. You can update.
