Does memory type matter?

Al Jade · Aug 3, 2016

I want to upgrade my graphics card and I have my eyes on a GDDR5 graphics card but my current motherboard is running an AMD Radeon HD 7560D which is a GDDR3. I was wondering whether I can run the GDDR5 on my motherboard. Thank you!

What are the rest of your specs? What card are you looking at?
The memory type on the card has nothing to do with an upgrade.

I am looking at either the MSI GeForce GTX 750Ti or the ASUS R7 370 STRIX Graphics Card...

You should have no problem with a 750Ti.

DDR3 is the RAM type for your motherboard/cpu which is different than the GDDR5 vRAM used only by your graphics card.
you can run any graphics card you want as long as it fits into your mobo's PCIe slot.

Yes you can the VDRAM of the GPU and the system DRAM are not interrelated. The GPU will be fine
