GDDR3 and DDR3

[Supish]

Whats the difference between GDDR3 and DDR3 memory for graphics cards

 

[Bodaggit23]

The primary benefit of DDR3 is the ability to transfer twice the data rate of DDR2

no, not ram, graphics cards, i need to know the difference between GDDR3 and DDR3 GRAPHICS CARD MEMORY

I don't think that answer the question. What they ask is difference between gddr3 and ddr3. I also want to know bout that. SOmebody??

It's the same Memory whether it's embedded onto a graphics card or put in a slot on your board.

The primary benefit of DDR3 is the ability to transfer twice the data rate of DDR2

GDDR is referred to when dealing with memory for graphics cards.
DDR is referred to when dealing with system memory (RAM).

Correct, but it's the same.

yes...it is........

GDDR3 is also dedicated for the video card. System memory (DDR3) can be shared with the video card.

so when it says DDR3 Memory in the specification on this video card

its the same as GDDR3 in the specifications on this video card?

Oops. Hehe I hope I'm not the only one that feels silly.

Sorry about that. Seems it's not so much the same.

Graphics Double Data Rate 3 has much the same technological base as DDR2, but the power and heat dispersal requirements have been reduced somewhat, allowing for higher performance memory modules, and simplified cooling systems.

Unlike the DDR2 used on graphics cards, GDDR3 is unrelated to the JEDEC DDR3 specification.
