Well here is the good news...the AMD RX-580 came out with a release date of date: Q2 2017.

We are now in Q2 of 2019 so the 50% price drop has already occurred.

As noted on Amazon:

Price: $379.99 Originally priced
Price: $184.99 Free Shipping for Prime Members
You Save: $195.00 (51%)

What are you waiting for?

Further you stated: "over 35 years in the computer business"

Where the hell is your staff or in house discount from your boss; who is running the show over there...!?!?!
Seriously, 35 years and no staff discount, you need a new employer.


Lastly you stated: Samsung LCD LED 28'' U28E590D 4KUHD Black for 252.27 euros. In fact I just ordered the Samsung.

It would appear the AMD RX 580 satisfies all your stated requirements...

Supported Rendering Format
HDMI™ 4K Support Yes
4K H264 Decode Yes
4K H264 Encode Yes
H265/HEVC Decode Yes
H265/HEVC Encode Yes

Connectivity DisplayPort 1.4 HDR
Dual Link DVI No
HDMI™4K60 Support

Good luck & much success.

@montegonexus - dump your graphics vBIOS for me with GPU-z, using little arrow in a box, under the AMD Logo on right. I may be able to add UEFI rom to your vBIOS
If not, and you need cheaper, look at the AMD 77xx/78xx series cards, or newer, you don't have to buy top end or even mid-range. Find a card you like the price of, then get on TPU and download a dump of it's vBIOS and see if it has UEFI image in it or not (Or have someone check for you)

@hancor:
Here we go again one more time to explain why I am not willing to spend more money than what is absolutely necessary to get the UEFI compatibility. RX580 is an overkill. I am a CISCO CCNA in Greece (We have an economic crisis since 2008) and I use the computer for designing network implementation on local businesses in order to make my job easier. If I loose my job at the age of 54 there is absolutely not a chance I will find another job to support my family (Unemployment is over 27% officially which means real numbers are over 35% to 40%). Most of my colleagues have already gone abroad in search of a better opportunity but I have not that liberty due to family reasons. My boss is not willing to pay a dime for that and I do it for my own convenience. My boss just wants the job to be done no matter what. Also I don't care about (4K H264 Decode Yes 4K H264 Encode Yes H265/HEVC Decode Yes H265/HEVC Encode Yes). I told you that I don't care about 3D capabilities or video editing or anything heavy. The only thing I do is 2D use of the card. Any card in the world can handle that. So not a dime to any capability that is an overkill for what I do. In fact I think that any new "super low price" graphic card is an overkill for my needs as long as it is an UEFI compatible one. That's all my friend and I hope you understand my reasons. Thank you.

@Lost_N_BIOS:
Thank you for trying that for me. This is from an ASUS HD7750 I have tried with no luck. I can't attach the ROM file here to send it to you. How can I send it?

I understand perfectly that you have an economic basket case in Greece since 2008; my day job is in the finance world...been there and done that.
Obviously, if the choice is to feed your family versus computer; the responsible thing to do is to feed your family.
So not only do you need a new employer, you need a new government if unemployment is running at ~35-40%.
In most lexicons for reasonable people, that is a not a government but cruel and exceptional stupidity.

That is almost as appalling as Germany back in the 1920-30s; which is why my family left Europe in the post war 50s period...when you've done two sh*tstorms in a row it was time for a new country and a new continent.

While I enjoy Greek salad and ancient history; I'll take a pass on the sad sacks who've looted your country.

In any case, I wish you luck and much success with your graphics card decision; as apparently you really need it!

Cheers

@montegonexus - send me the dumped BIOS from the card you have now (6770 I thought?) is what I meant, but yes I can also check vBIOS and GPU-z images from other cards you look at buying too.
To attach file here, hit reply on far right of any post in this thread, then you will get advanced reply with all the usual formatting options and load attachment is on right side.
Also, dump that 7750 vBIOS if it's a card you have now

@hancor:
I am glad that you understand my situation. The computer is mine and it makes my life easier to get my job done. The company in which I work doesn't give any money for hardware or software support. They just demand to get the job done. So if you want to make your life easier you pay for the computer yourself and use it on your expense in order to maintain your position in the company. Also the computer is based at home since it is mine. Once again I thank you very much for your help so far. It was a pleasure to correspond with you my friend. If I can get these cards that I already have to work without buying anything it would be the best case scenario for me. Thank you for your wishes too. I am going to need luck for sure. Have a nice day.

@Lost_N_BIOS:
I would like to use them both to have two monitors on my computer with different resolution. I tried to upload the ROM files but I couldn't so I uploaded them to Google Drive. Thank you for your help.

You probably needed to put them in a zip @montegonexus - thanks for the files and images, I will see if I can get UEFI image added to your vBIOS, I'll try to get this done for you by tonight
Do you have spare PCI card, or other PCIE card than these, in case of bad flash, so you can reflash good vBIOS from DOS (This is normal safety precaution question and stuff you should always have prepared before flashing vBIOS to GFX card)
Recovery is simple, you just have to be ready in advance

* Edit - I was able to update both to have UEFI GOP image, I'll get back to you tonight with package and flash tools, info etc.

@Lost_N_BIOS:
Thank you for every effort you are making on my behalf. I haven't literally the slightest idea and I have never flash the VBios in my life. I will do it one card at a time to be sure in any case of failure. I am sure that I will get it done if you will provide me with the right tools and guidance. Looking forward to your response.

@montegonexus - So, you have both of these cards that you gave vBIOS and GPU-z image of above? If yes, great. Do you have a third card you can use for recovery in case one needs reflashed due to bad vBIOS?
This is done with a secondary card, so you need a working secondary PCI (old PCI is fine as long as it's working), another PCIE card, or onboard graphics can work too.
If you only have those two cards, and no onboard graphics, then yes it must be done one at a time and tested after in order to be sure it's OK, because in case it's not then you'll need to use the other to reflash the first one (Hope you get what I mean? )

Cape Verde 7750 is best chance of working without issue, so lets just test that one for now and if it works that's all you need anyway correct?
Here is information on the vBIOS stock on left in each image, and the updated vBIOS I made w/ UEFI GOP rom info on right


However, I just noticed when checking to see if Asus put out their own update, and they have!
Here is BIOS Update for you directly from Asus, pick correct model (I assume these two, since they were only ones at Asus 7750 that matched your stock GPU/memory speeds in your GPU-z image) - both have same download link, so doesn't matter
HD7750-1GD5 - https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/HD77.../HelpDesk_BIOS/
HD7750-1GD5-V2 - https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/HD77.../HelpDesk_BIOS/

Install that, choose graphics card and run the update after a reboot. Then check GPU-z, and see if the UEFI Box is checked, if not, show me an image of GPU-z again and we'll go from there and I'll send you vBIOS I made and give you update method.

@Lost_N_BIOS:
I 've done some research myself too and I found that yesterday too. It requires 3. The tool can only be used under Vista, Win7, Win8. I have windows 10 Pro. I hope it will work. Also I noticed a difference in BIOS VERSION. The tool says that the card is not supported. Also the site claims that the card doesn't use extra power source which is not my case. The card has a 6pin plug for power input to operate. Please check this too. https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/1223...750-1024-120312

If not, try Win7 or win8 compatibility mode. Or, get out a spare drive and install Win7 real quick just for this.

Obviously the graphics card does not support UEFI, that's the point of this update, stupid Asus!! @ your first image Asus never updated the site, or this package, that's why it's all funky and outdated now!

What is your exact model printed on the card? Sorry, not sure what you mean about extra power or what that's relating to in your comments.

Yes, any general stock BIOS dump for these cards (such as that one at TPU) is going to say UEFI Support NO, because the stock vBIOS does not support it. I have created UEFI BIOS that will work on your card, but thought a standard update from Asus would be easier for you to do, since you've never updated vBIOS before.

If you can't get it, I'll put together a guide for you, or link you to one, and send you the vBIOS I made. It should be fine, just a lot more involved stuff for you to do in order to update it (Prepare all files on a bootable USB Stick, Boot to DOS, backup current vBIOS from DOS, flash new vBIOS etc)

Please confirm, the original issue, or reason your wanting this before we do all that. Do you just need to be able to boot to the NVME, or do you HAVE to be able to use secure boot and boot to the NVME?
Because, you can boot to NVME without having to do it via secure boot, however it involves a bootloader process that you'd also have to go through which can be quite an involved process too.
I can unlock BIOS for you so you can change any setting you want or need to do.

Just trying to make it easier on you, it only takes me 20 seconds to update a vBIOS, and 30 more to recover if it's a bad flash, but that's because I'm used to it, it may be much more of a hassle for you but if you're ready I can walk you through it.
Here is a general guide, we'll do much of the middle area where they actually do the BIOS update - https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...g-guide.212849/

@Lost_N_BIOS:
I 've read this guide yesterday among others and I noticed that it says to flash VBios through DOS environment though ATITool is working through windows. My problem is that I can't install windows on the NVME disk because the graphics card is not UEFI compatible. I have win 10 pro now but I just migrated the entire ssd Samsung 860 EVO with the migration tool that the site of GoodRam gives. I need to clean install win 10 Pro on the NVME. The site I was referring to is the one I have said to take a look to in my previous comment.

@montegonexus - DOS is ran from USB, nothing to do with windows. ATITool, I assume you mean ATIFlash, this works in windows (ATIWinFlash) or DOS (ATIFlash).
DOS is suggested for safety reasons only, it can be done from windows too, but since you currently don't have windows installed anyway you will be forced to use the safest method
Did you make your USB Bootable drive yet, and copy all the files from the guide and make your backup following that guide yet? If not, please do, and then I will send you vBIOS I made to flash.
I haven't posted it yet to give you time to get everything setup correctly, and get a backup made using this method, that way you're familiar with how it all works before you flash.
