I'm going to emphasize that it should work, but this is a board that probably came out in 2011/2012, there is no guarantee here. We do have a return window though. The old Bulldozer CPU will bottleneck the GPU. It'll be a performance increase over the old card for sure, but you won't get 100% of it's performance at 1080p. With AM5 being out for a while, there are some really good deals on the AM4 platform, I'd look into upgrading your platform. Keep in mind that upgrading the board/CPU will mean you'll need to upgrade to Windows 10/11.
