Hi guys,
I'm a bit of a noob but i'm trying to figure out how exactly GDDR5 is better than DDR3. I know that it is better, and that GDDR5 is mainly used in GPUs, but the PS4 is using it for system memory. If it is truly better, then why don't people use GDDR5 for system ram on custom PC builds? All i've seen is DDR3 for system memory. Yet people claim that the PS4 gddr5 provides a significant advantage over the ddr3 on the xbox one.
