Hi Guys, I'm a little confused (i'm new to building pc's) When I check out the
Specifications of a specific graphics card, it says on the list (Memory Type GDDR5) what's this?? I was going to purchase ddr3 1600/1866 memory, will the card work with ddr3 but like I said it says DDR5, sorry but I really am new to all this, any help would be my appreciated.
 
Solution
The type of memory on the graphics card is not related to the type on the motherboard. You definitely want GDDR5 on your graphics card; DDR3 versions, if they exist (e.g. on the HD7750) are a couple of tiers slower.
