DDR3 vs GDDR5

[straightouttahometown]

First of all I know GDDR5 is way better but I have the choice of buying either Sapphire R7 250 2GB DDR3 or Sapphire r7 250 1GB GDDR5 (both with boost). Both have similar prices (1gig is a little cheaper). Halp me with this guys

Thankks

Go with the faster one, that is GDDR5 . For this card, 2gb vram is a waste. 1GB Vram is sufficient.

even 512MB GDDR5 would be better than 2gb DDR3. Just look at the gt 730: 64bit GDDR5 destroys the 128bit DDR3.

To be fair, the 64-bit GT 730 uses a completely different GPU than the 128-bit GT 730. One is Kepler-based, the other is Fermi-based.
