Which is Better DDR3 128bit or DDR5 64bit

Utkarsh Mahajan · Oct 14, 2014

i want to know which will be better a DDR3 128bit car or ddr5 64bit card i am getting confusesd

thanks in advance for best solutions

Hello... This chart will give a general performance of the Video card you are looking at... the type and amount of memory used ( performance ) will show up here. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
Just type in your card# and type passmark after it... and Google it, for a fast web page reference to the charts.

I assume you mean DDR3 and GDDR5 for graphics cards? If so, GDDR5 is infinitely better than DDR3 as it has a much higher memory bandwidth.

EasyLover · Oct 14, 2014

DDR3 and GDDR5 in graphics cards represent the underlying graphics memory (VRAM) type and its bandwidth. Always go with GDDR5 being offering much higher bandwidth than DDR3 regardless of bit-interface.

not gddr5 its just ddr5

EasyLover · Oct 14, 2014

Hmmm! Please provide the graphics card model number please.

The GT 730 comes as DDR3 or GDDR5, do definitely go for the GDDR5 version, even if it has less VRAM. You can compare the memory clock and bandwidth using the link below.

bicycle_repair_man :

then why its wrote ddr5 not gddr5

bicycle_repair_man · Oct 14, 2014

The seller probably has the wrong description. DDR5 RAM has never existed; graphics cards have always been DDR3 or GDDR5.

Utkarsh Mahajan · Oct 14, 2014

that means that is gddr5

bicycle_repair_man · Oct 14, 2014

Yes, but you should check with the seller anyway. If they got that wrong, they may have gotten other things wrong too.

In the image the product is shown wrong

bicycle_repair_man · Oct 14, 2014

We can't help you with things like that. If you have any doubts as to what you're buying, you need to contact the seller.

EasyLover · Oct 14, 2014

Dear, better clarify with the seller and remember if in doubt, better not to buy the product.

Utkarsh Mahajan · Oct 14, 2014

EasyLover :

I had emailed to seller about both things

EasyLover :

NVIDIA GEFORCE GT630 2GB DDR3 128BIT PCI-E CARD (FORSA)

or

EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit DVI/HDMI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card 02G-P3-3733-KR

which one of these is better ?

please help to sort out difference between DDR3 128bit and DDR5 64bit

does "Bit" part matter most ?

it would be very helpful thank you in advance

go for GT 730 Learn Not to rob threads

Sandip Gupta :

GT 730 is better than the GT 630. You are getting confused over 128-bit and 64-bit thing. Look, in GPU, latencies won't really matter but the speed. In this case, 630 has effective memory clock of 1800MHz (almost 28.5 GB/s) but in 730 effective memory clock is 5500MHz (40 GB/s). Which is faster, decide for yourself.

When it comes to GPU and VRAM, the more the memory clock, the better it is. 64-bit bandwidth bus would be compensated by the higher clock rate.

Definitely go for GT 730. Topic of DDR3 vs GDDR5 is a lengthy one, I've just given you a tip of iceberg in a nut shell.

Thank you so much , that was really helpful and positive response which I really needed on my tight budget.
And you really saved my time also gained me some good knowledge. As being a beginner I was really confused and also I am not financially sound to take a risk. So thanks again

Start your own thread please.
For slow cards such as the 730, it is always better to go for GDDR5 and 1 GB.
2 GB is pointless, and even worse with DDR3.
