Hello jsp! i'm currently running a shitty old AMD Radeon 6670 HD - Was gonna upgrade it to a 1050Ti but looks like legacy bios won't allow me to, what's the best graphic's card i can upgrade to? my specs are:

Foxconn 2abf MOBO
i5 2400
300w PSU
8GB Ram
Amd radeon 6670 HD as mentioned

Feel free to ask any questions.

The bios won't stop you from using a GPU.

Realy? I was reading about it somewhere saying that due to the legacy BIOS i was not able to upgrade to a 1050Ti, was that false then? If yes does that mean that it's possible? Or are there other thing that goes in and Co**Blocks me?

If your PSU can handle the wattage your mobo will support it provided it has a PCI-E slot which it obviously had to support your old card.
The old GPU is also more demanding wattage wise so your safe.

Do more research in case but I've never encountered a bios stopping me from using a gpu.
Might need to update bios possibly but once again I don't see how that effects the gpu.

I've never encountered this issue before.
Not saying it isn't possible cause I know theres hard coded boards out their but it feels like its highly unlikely to not work.

Like I said research it a bit more.
