Can a DDR4 ram memory work with a DDR5 graphics card?

kiysumi · Jun 28, 2017

I want to purchase a new graphics card, MSI GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING 2GB DDR5 128-bit, but its memory is not enough for me and since I can't find the same card with more memory, I'll buy the memory separated (sorry for saying memory so many times). I found one, but it says that it's DDR4. Can the card and the memory work together?

They have NOTHING to do with each other.

yes it will work.

The 1050 ti's have more memory if you want to look into them https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-04G-P4-6253-KR/dp/B01MF7EQJZ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1498639333&sr=1-1&keywords=1050+ti

Those two have nothing to do with eachother, they will work fine together. DDR5 Graphics card is VRAM and DDR4 ram is DIMM. They have no relation just the way they're named.

That information is false. the memory cannot work together with the gpu to supply the gpu with more memory of its own

There is no way to increase the gpu memory. What it comes with it will have to live with.
DDR4 you mention is system memory, not the graphic one. While also important for fluent work of your computer, no matter how much you add to the system, gpu memory will stay on those 2GB.

No actually you were right. This guy was asking if he could expand his memory. So I think I was wrong and so was superninja

Thank you, everyone! I don't know too many things about computers and I had no idea I couldn't expand the VRAM memory. Thanks!

As I said above, if you wanted more vram you can get the 1050ti https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MF7EQJZ/ref=asc_df_B01MF7EQJZ5049023?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=shopzilla0d-20&ascsubtag=shopzilla_rev_370-20;14986747013165077434110080301008005&linkCode=df0&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B01MF7EQJZ

language barrier, if u want more v ram u need another gpu.
