So as I'm sure I'm not this first to post this kind of issue, I'll be brief.
 
My PC is an HP HPE H8-1010. HP Carmel MB. Bios is version 7.16
 
Upgrading from my old GT9800 to the afore mentions GTX 960 SSC.
 
My understanding is that I need a MB with a version 8 Bios. I'm looking for suggestions as to what MB I should look at to replace the factory one. With the caveat that I would like to reuse the CPU and RAM on the new MB (if possible). Any other suggestions are appreciated.

    What is the letter/letters after the 1010, if any? For example is it a 1010a, 1010ce etc?!?!? Are you concerned with keeping your warranty? From researching this topic for others in the past, it seems that HP's 8xx series of bios is what is needed to let 6xx and above series Nvidia g-cards work with there older desktops. Unfortunately, they didn't make that bios available to a lot of their older desktops, which makes you spend money in some way....and im sure that's not a accident. The only other option to you, if that bios ends up not being available, are cards from MSI that have a legacy/master switch built on them to be compatible with older legacy mobo bios. Evga does have cards with bios switches too, but I cant say for sure if that would work in this case because im not sure if they have the bios to go with the card and have it setup for that type of use. You would have to ask evga to find that out.

    MOBO: EVGA x299 Dark, CPU: I9 10900X, RAM: Patriot Viper RGB 3600 32gb, SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB, M2: Samsung 970 EVO+ 1TB, PSU: CoolerMaster M2 1500, CPU HSF: EVGA 240 CLC HSF~ P/P EK Furious Vardar, G-CARD:EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming w/Hybrid kit and Noctua IPPC 3000 P/P, CASE: LIAN-LI PC-V2010B w/ Window mod, OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit, MON: Alienware AW3821DW

    Call EVGA up and ask them if they have a BIOS available to fix your issue. I know that EVGA has been able to provide a modified BIOS for some customers with some models of video cards in the past in order to fix this sort of issue. Calling EVGA is the fastest method of finding a potential solution to this issue.
