Hi everyone. I am totally new to this forum. I was wondering. I have a Pentium G4400 on an Asus B250i Gaming motherboard. A friend of mine recently asked me if I wanted his EVGA Nvidia GeForce 210 GPU. The GPU is ddr3 while the motherboard has ddr4 in it. Would the build be better with or without using the GeForce 210? I tried to look at all kinds of sites to figure this out but it is beyond me I think. The pcbuilder website shows that it is compatible with the build but I am not sure if it would be an improvement or not.

Thanks

Motherboard RAM and the GPU VRAM are pretty irrelevant. If it mattered, then nobody would be able to run any of the high-end or, at this point, even middle-class GPUs because they all use GDDR5 and there's no such thing right now as a PC with DDR5 RAM.

The Pentium G4400's integrated GPU, the Intel HD 510, isn't very impressive, intended for only light and casual gaming, but it's actually quite a bit faster than the GeForce 210. Simply put, the 210 is a low-end, non-gaming GPU, that was released in 2009. Your build is much worse with it.
