[vfio-users] Checking for EFI and general questions

[Ryan Flagler]

>From some quick googling, I would be inclined to say that your card does
NOT have a uefi bios. No product documentation anywhere mentions it, no
reviews mention it, and the bios files listed on techpowerup list it as
incompatible. Your only recourse is to contact the manufacturer and see if
they have a uefi compatible bios you can flash it with. I know some
companies (EVGA and MSI) will send one to you even though they don't ship
with it.

Good luck.
