Legacy Bios

[Oalei]

im just wondering if legacy bios will be not supported for the new games or apps, even OS. So do anyone have some info on Legacy Bios or is it doesnt matter because its only a bios?

Might as well start using UEFI now because Legacy will be phased out some day

They are close in terms of "overall performance" but they i7 has 8 threads and the i5 only 4 threads and for games like battlefield 1 you will do a lot better with the i7

And the legacy bios is nothing to worry about it works juste fine it's just that manufacturers now all use UEFI for easy user interface and other reasons

well im a esport gamer and the 2 of them cost the same. i7 3770 Z77 Extreme 4 with 16gb, i5 7400 B250GT3 8Gb for around 250usd

I just use UEFI because I don’t know what key goes to legacy bios.

For most people this is a concern for booting. For example there are issues with booting from GPT based partitions on BIOS based systems over MBR ones. Otherwise the OS and/or apps largely don't care what firmware type your motherboard uses. BIOS/UEFI is just there to boot the computer to the OS, after that, the OS takes over.
