Here I thought I had been insanely smart to buy a GPU from 2010 for $10 since the CPU is going to do all the encoding anyway. And because my previous card, a honking 3080, wouldn’t have allowed for the other two capture cards to be installed, taking up all the real estate.

I have been trying to setup an Artix system on my own for two hours now, but GRUB won’t install in CSM mode… I’ve tried UEFI on GPT, BIOS on MBR, BIOS on GPT… 😅 Boot partition with and without file system… 💀

I’ll just buy a more modern yet slim card, I guess? Unless I wake up tomorrow and give researching the issue a chance.

Night👋🔌

    That card probably also has an insanely old firmware too, but you ought to be able to set a 550 motherboard to bios mode instead of uefi and get past it.

      I didn’t mention that in the OP but I did try both UEFI and legacy BIOS compatibility mode.

      Would’ve been cool if I had the skills to flash the old card with some new firmware 🤣

        Why are you even using a dedicated video card anyway? If this is the same b550 board in your other post you already have onboard video…

            Oh lol. I forgot that amd CPUs can be put in that situation too.

            I usually use Debian and have had to use legacy (bios) booting with csm loaded on those boards before. so if you can tolerate an old man distribution, try legacy booting the Debian text mode net installer.
