I don't know much regarding DDR types so pretty quickly i need an answer...
I have (2) DDR3 RAM and a DDR2 GRAPHICS CARD... it seems that a DDR2 GRAPHICS CARD works on a DDR3 RAM motherboard but i am concerned about, if a DDR3 GRAPHICS CARD will work on my DDR3 RAM motherboard? I know they are both DDR3, but i really don't know because a DDR2 GRAPHICS CARD worked on a DDR3 RAM motherboard and i am afraid that maybe DDR3 graphics cards will not be compatible to my DDR3 RAM motherboard... and additional question.. will a DDR5 graphics card work on a DDR3 ram motherboard? I have a PCIE x16 2.0.....

DDR3 goes with the ram and PCIe slots goes with the graphic card. GPU memory is dedicated to the GPU.

SO you will be fine with the DDR2 GPU with DDR3 ram. But DDR2 is a bit slow GPU than the DDR3 GPU.

system ram and vram have absolutely nothing to do with each other

and you want a gddr5 gpu as they tend to be a lot faster than their ddr3 model
