I recently watched a video featuring a graphics card with GDDR4 memory and I thought to myself - I've never heard of GDDR4, only GDDR3 & GDDR5(x). So, what happened to GDDR4?

What is your opinion? What graphic card is faster for gameplay, 1GB GDDR5 or 2GB GDDR3?

Hi, ..I need some help over this 3(the same cards) Which of this will play better games on a resolutions such as 720p, 900p, MAX 1050p. First is the MSI GT 730 2GB of GDDR3 64 Bit MSI GT 730 1GB GDDR5 64 Bit MSI GT 730 2GB GDDR3 128 Bit

I've got a pretty old desktop PC I've been using for games and work. It worked great up till yesterday, Today for some reason my GPU won't provide a video display, will my onboard graphics port worked fine. The GPU Fan is spinning so I hope it not dead cause I don't have a replacement right now. I've tried to troubleshoot it on my own. ✓ Changed VGA Cable ✓ Took GPU out, cleaned it and placed it back in ✓ Tired a different display output other than VGA, Hooked up an HDMI cable with a LCD to see if it gave out a signal, still no luck I haven't tried anything BIOS related since I'm not experienced with it. I did try refreshing it by unplugging and replugging the Ram. My Specs CPU: Core I5 3470 Processor GPU: Club 3D GT630 2GB GDDR 3 Mother board: HP desktop Motherboard PSU: HP desktop PSU

I'm gonna build my first PC, that will have 8gigs of RAM. Are there any benefits for 2, 4gb RAM Sticks, or should i stick with 1, 8gb RAM Stick?

I dont know of anyway to find out so im asking I have a AMD A10-7850k APU with R7 graphics I want to get a GPU. So what im wondering is, Is it better for me to get a GDDR3 R250/R260 and run the GPU in Crossfire with the APU Or buy a better graphics card. R250 GDDR3 is around £70 And i dont want to spend lots on a GPU, under £200 but lower is better.

So welcome to my review of the EVGA GeForce 8800GT. At launch this card was a great price : performer and kind of steamrolled the market. It came in at $200-250 USD and put AMDs 2900XT to shame. We have a GF92 core, as used in the 8800GTS and GTX. It has 112 shaders and 16 ROPs. It's a 8800GTX without the price tag. A GDDR3 memory archtechture is used to provide insane bandwidth to the GPU. A Whopping 60.8GB/s is achieved with this memory and the massive bitwidth of the bus. I overclocked the GPU to 702MHz on the Core, 950MHz on the GDDR3 memory. This means a 16.6% overclock on the core and a 5% increase on the RAM. Also increased is the shader core for 1500 to 1728 MHz. A 15.2% increase. And now we move to the games. In 2007 at launch this thing was baller. I included an older title (Modern Warfare 2) to showcase how good it was. I had to run resolutions of 1280x1024 as the 1080p monitor I'd usually use requires more than 512MB of RAM. It managed around 40 FPS on some games but the textures were buggy with heavy micro stuttering. So the results are completely worthless. For a CPU I'm using a gimped FX8320, I disabled the 2nd core in each module to make it a 4c/4t CPU and clocked it at 3.3GHz. With AMDs amazing penryn IPC this should be reasonably accurate for a Q6600. First up: Battlefield 3. I run through the first mission in full. I ran the game at these settings: And this is the FPS graph: I achieved a min / max / average of 27, 70 and 39 FPS respectively. Next up: World of Warcraft. For this benchmark I go through the vale of sorrows, starting at moshu-gun palace and ending near the entrance to the dread wastes. The settings: And the results: And the min / max / average: 23 / 61 / 33 And lastly a game from the cards era: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 For this one I run through the 1st spec op "the pit". The run averages around 35 seconds. The settings: And the results: And the min / max / average: 117 / 285 / 169 So clearly for games that were kind of designed for these cards it's formidable for the price. And even in modern(ish) games the card does respectfully well. So the hardware I've used: FX8320 4c/4t - 3.3GHz == Q6600 3.3GHz 8GB DDR3 @ 1066mhz EVGA 8800GT Tried to make it close to what you'd actually have in the era (2007).
