hi
i am going to buy GeForce GTX 780 Ti and my motherboard is msi 990FXA-GD80
and since GTX 780 Ti is ddr 5 and the motherboard ddr 3 ......
is this relevant or what
help please
 
Solution
The two are completely different. The DDR3 is your motherboard's memory limits. The 780 uses GDDR5 onboard for video memory. The two memory pools never interact in that way.
