    Maintenance & Service Guide for the 8570W , page 42 lists the next compatible Video cards for this laptop:
    690637-001 NVIDIA Quadro K2000M (NVIDIA N14P-Q3 2GB DDR3) graphics card
    690638-001 NVIDIA Quadro K1000M (NVIDIA N14P-Q1 2GB DDR3) graphics card
    690639-001 AMD FirePro M4000 (Chelsea XT GL 1GB GDDR5) graphics card
    These are the only Videocards whitelisted in the BIOS.
    So forget about ATI HD 5870.
