One is for video cards and the other is for desktop computing - absolutely not comparable.

The GDDR5 is faster Vram and most cards that have both options usually will not benefit from the additional Vram size since they will run out of processing power before ram with 1GB installed.

depends, on the frequency and bus width of the memory. as far as im aware, ddr5 is generally faster, as it more often comes in faster speeds, but technically you could run ddr5 and ddr3 at the same MHZ, data bus width (bits) and timings and they would perform identically, the ddr5 however would use less power.
