DDR5 isn't a thing. A lot of GPUs will use GDDR5, which is not DDR5, it's an important distinction. The RAM that GPUs use is basically always on the PCB of the graphics card and entirely separate from system RAM. 

 

You can use a GDDR5 graphics card in a system that uses DDR3 as the RAM is separate. The GPU won't use the system RAM and the vRAM on the graphics card is only used by the GPU.

I think your confusing RAM with VRAM. Your motherboard requires DDR3 RAM if thats what you mean? Your graphics card VRAM isn't affected by your motherboards RAM type.

 

Thanks I will try new video card and change my gt 630 DDR3

Be sure to make sure your power supply can handle your new card! Including pin connectors and max wattage!

Uhhhh yes

 

Any PCIe GPU will work in any motherboard that has a PCIe X16 slot.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

My Radeon HD5750 works in my Phenom II with DDR2 SDRAM...

And my Radeon HD7970 as well.

And my Radeon RX480 too.

Your system memory (in this case, DDR3) has no relation whatsoever to your dedicated GPU.

 

You can use any GPU with your system as long as you have a PCIe X16 slot, a decent power supply and a case that supports your GPU's size.

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.8GHZ | GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X (X2 - SLI) | RAM: 24GB | Storage: 128GB 960 PRO M.2 SSD, 1TB & 750GB HDD | Operating System: Windows 10, MacOS High Sierra
