I'm looking to upgrade my old HD7950 to one of the current crop of cards, GTX1070 maybe.

Problem is my mobo is getting on now. Anyone know if the MSI P67A-GD65 is compatible with the newer cards? I have the latest bios, which apparently made the GTX900 series cards compatible but the bios dates back to 2013.

Does ocuk offer refunds if hardware simply isn't compatible? Thanks.
 
I think I have seen users running this board and card on here. I am in the same boat but with an Msi z68-g65 board and I think mine won't run it :/
 
Thanks, hope they will chime in. Surely the Z68 shouldn't have an issue if the older P67 works.

If these cards dont work I'l have to try my luck with a 970. No way I can replace the motherboard plus ram and cpu just for a gpu upgrade right now and I'm perfectly happy with my 2500K, awesome cpu!
 
I have the latest Bios from 2013 installed, so I must have put ME8 on too at the time. I do not know how to check. I think some people had to have ME8 to run series 9 cards, so maybe the same for series 10.

My motherboard has UEFI interface, is that what you mean?

That thread you pointed me at indicated it should work with version 25.8 which I have installed...so fingers crossed as I want to buy a card tomorrow :D

Well if it doesn't work I will just have to treat myself to a new CPU/MOBO/RAM too then :D

Could you post either way please. I have the same board and will be ordering a 1070 on Monday, could save me some hassles. I've also just updated BIOS to the latest (last) version, I was running 1.9 that came with the board :o
 
Similar situation here except my board is the GD53 plus original bios. I was going to get a 390 last summer but got a 1440p monitor instead. My 7950 has been holding up really well at this res but now it's time to get a new gpu. Hoping I don't have to get a new cpu/mobo to boot:/

Sounds like to have the 4.3 version. The latest one on MSI's website. I've got that installed so sounds like great news for us 2500k hold outs :)

Yes it is. I just need a shiny new 1440p monitor now :D

Its nice to run the likes of Doom at insane levels at 1080p. I have now seen it has a 3 digit frame counter :)
