Will a GDDR 5 video card work with DDR 3 RAM?

Hi,



I bought a new new computer with DDR 3 RAM, And i was looking at some of the really good video cards, And there all GDDR 5.



Is that compatible with DDR 3?

Im thinking no, But not sure..



And well we are on the subject, My current video card is a DDR 2, So in the mean time will i be able to use my VC with DDR 2, Although my system will have DDR 3 RAM?



Thanks.



Also, What is the difference between GDDR and DDR?

Thats driving me nutz...lol



Thanks again.



Also, I am aware that even if a new component is comparable with a system, It depends on what kind of system you are running and your power supply to determine if it will run properly..



So you need not mention that:)|||The video card's RAM has absolutely NOTHING to do with the system RAM. So yes, a GDDR5 video card will work on a computer with DDR3 system RAM.



As for GDDR vs DDR, the "G" stands for graphics. GDDR# is a video card memory technology. It is important to note that GDDR# and DDR# are not related. For example, GDDR3 is more architecturally related to DDR2 than DDR3.|||The video card's RAM has absolutely NOTHING to do with the system RAM. So yes, a GDDR5 video card will work on a computer with DDR3 system RAM.
