    BIOS update


    I'm interested in updating my legacy BIOS (currently F-10) to a UEFI BIOS. What is the process?

    The motherboard is Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 (rev 1.0) I was planning on using Rufus to create the bookable flash drive. But I'm unaware if any else was needing done prior to flashing such as MBR>GPT (or does the UEFI flash do this?)

    BIOS update

    Should I update bios?

    I would read the warranty before doing anything. If the manufacturer finds out you did something not on their approved list of steps,for example using a program they didn't list, or a bios, etc, they can treat your video card rma like you threw it against the wall , because if something goes wrong and you didn't follow their steps exactly ,it was damaged through human error and they're not likely going to be obligated to cover it warranty wise. I don't know for sure, I just advocate that you check first , and I also advocate that you verify that it's an actual update ,because very rarely do manufacturers release updates for gpu bios'. And they most certainly wont cover a GPU "update" if its a bios file written by some dude in the Ukraine, it has to be a set process, they have predetermined often.
