gtx 1060 none UEFI MOBO

[redknight333]

I am looking into upgrading my long in the tooth video card, don't get me wrong it's been working great, but i bought it back in 2012,
Gainward GeForce GTX 570 Goes Like Hell 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card getting very old now, so i was looking at the Gigabyte
GeForce GTX 1060 WindForce OC 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card, but now i have been reading more up about the UEFI on the new motherboards which my motherboard does not have, Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-GEN3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard seeing it's a very old 2012 board, and may be the newer video cards need the new UEFI bios updates, there is a bios update for my motherboard but it's only a beta and am very reluctant to mess with a bios update, will and do i need to have to have a UEFI bios now to get any new video cards booting with my motherboard?
I run windows 7 also.

I have the same board and it's running a 370 with a UEFI BIOS absolutely fine.

Just make sure you flash the mb bios to the latest before installing the new card.

Anyone know of a gtx 1060 that is compatible with a legacy bios, i'm just not happy about updating bios if all possible.

I tested an Gtx 1080 in an old x58 system the mobo was released in 2008

Worked fine.

I think it's the Amd cards that run into issues booting on older mobos

Does this mean waiting for vega is a bad idea for me then? I'm was planing to go ultra wide with a 1070 but the g-sync monitors are crazy price.

Any experience of newer cards on a Gigabyte Z68a D3 B3? [which must be very similar to the OP's] I have the F11 BIOS and am reluctant to attempt flashing to the beta UEFI available for this board. I am seriously thinking about adding a GTX1060 to replace my GTX670 but don't want the risk of using an old beta BIOS.... I also don't want the hassle if these newer cards don't work with it.
