Has anyone experienced issues with a GPU, like the Gigabyte RTX 2060 Super, not posting or displaying anything? I have an older setup that works fine with its original GPU (GTX 560 TI), but when I try to use the 2060 Super, I'm getting no display output at all. The power supply is a 750W EVGA, which I believe should be sufficient since the power requirements between the two GPUs are quite similar. My motherboard is an Asus Striker II Extreme from 2008, equipped with a PCIe 2.0 X16 slot, so it should technically be compatible with the 2060 Super.
I tested the 2060 Super in a modern rig, and that worked well, so I don't think it's a dead GPU. Here are a couple of things I'm considering:
1. Could the PSU be faulty even though it runs other components without issues?
2. Might the motherboard compatibility be the issue here, especially since it's from 2008 and has an older BIOS version?

It’s possible that the GPU doesn’t support legacy BIOS. A lot of the newer GPUs, including the 2060 Super, might not play nicely with older hardware. EVGA was known to support both Legacy and UEFI for their models, but it might be worth checking with Gigabyte to confirm compatibility for the 2060 Super.
