My rather old self-build consists of: M.B: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE GPU: Radeon HD 4670 Ultimate, RAM: 16gb Kingston Hyper DDR3 1600. What I want is to have a dual monitor set-up to move windows between the two monitors. When using Win 7 the set-up works perfectly: DVI out to LG monitor and HDMI to Sony TV. I have installed Linux Mint 19.3 in a dual-boot set-up and when using Linux the HDMI to TV causes the system to freeze. The only solution is to change the GPU. I am not a gamer I just need a GPU that can play video to 1080 and most importantly work in LM. I know the 1050ti may a bit too powerful for my system and I wont get the best out of the card but it will be good for a future build, Thanks for any advice. #1 See best answerList Solutions Only 18 Replies Related Threads

I get the PCIe issue and I am willing to put up with less performance until I upgrade MB/CPU/RAM. The older MB runs on the legacy BIOS which may be an issue - I will contact CS. Many thanks #8

I therefore take it will boot from the legacy bios. #14
