He had a GDDR5 GPU before so it should be able to handle this one.

I was comparing his old GPU to his new one. They both are GDDR5 GPU. Thought he may have been on the older GDDR3 and trying to install a newer GDDR5 but he's not, so that point is irrelevant.

I'm trying to figure out your line of thinking here, though. Why do you believe the vram of the previous card affects whether or not you can install a new one with a different vram type?
