....? not quite sure what your asking the RAM is used by the cpu as a "deskspace" the video card has its own set of ram that is completely separate from the cpu which is much faster than your cpu ram

He probably means GDDR5, instead of DDR5

Video memory, and system memory are two different things.... And it's GDDR5, NOT DDR5. DDR5 does NOT exist, yet.
