DDR4 is for RAM sticks, GDDR5 (based on DDR3) is for GPU VRAM. there's no DDR5, DDR4 just released, GDDR6 (based on DDR4) is on the way.

Never even considered this until you just mentioned it. LOL

Now im all exited... Although it would likely be a good year before we see the GDDR version for DDR4 memory.

Yep, Rx 300 series was rumoured to have that, it however doesn't(still rumours). I hope Nvidia 16nm chips come with that :D

Nah, I seriously doubt the Rx 2xx will have it. Although AMD has historically been the first to bring new and more hardware to the table first, which Nvidia then responds to.

Yes, but GDDR6 seems a long way (in our sense, otherwise its a year or so), both for AMD and Nvidia. Have been thinking about it's benefits over GDDR5, nothing quite significant as of yet, but then, there has to be some improvements.

Well we could create a thread and give it a good old discussion. :)
