Forum Post: RE: Upgrade Graphics Card on Dell Inspiron 580 MT
You suggested the HD 5670 1GB. I see a lot of different views as to if it needs a 300 watt psu (as in our 580 MT) or a 400 W psu. Is this card definitely OK in our Computer? And GDDR5 or GDDR3 version?

As per the vendor website it says it needs a 500W PSU, However the hd5670 is a low profile card, so it only can get 75watt from the PCIE slot, so thats good. Its a GDDR5. GT220 is a DDR3 memory version.

They DO NOT MATCH. They look similar but they ARE NOT THE SAME. This is also why they have started labeling the cables to only work with specific part numbers.
