On a Monitor does computer memory type matter?

[joshwatson424351]

I was planning to buy a monitor but as I read the description it says 'Computer memory type - DDR3 SDRAM' does this matter? I think my computer uses DDR4. Forgive me I'm new to this stuff.

It does not matter. I'm not even sure why that spec would be on the monitor.

I'm curious. Can you post a link to said monitor?

I can't understand that either thats why it threw me off and confused me.
This is the monitor - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-XG270HUA-27-inch-FreeSync-ZeroFrame/dp/B01FSTM03W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535539727&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=acer+qhd+monitor&dpPl=1&dpID=410KLZo44oL&ref=plSrch

You'll be fine. I'm thinking that's either a typo or the FreeSync hardware uses DDR3 RAM.

That is a 1440p monitor. Do you have the PC to use it properly?

You are welcome to ignore it. RAM compatibility only comes into play when one is looking for a motherboard. I wouldn't expect that from Amazon. Can't make sense of that one.

Free and G-sync monitors don't have RAM.

Ye right now I have an Evga GTX 1060 super clocked but I will soon be upgrading to a 1070 but for now the 1060 will do for most games

The G-Sync board itself features an FPGA and 768MB of DDR3 memory. NVIDIA claims the on-board DRAM isn’t much greater than what you’d typically find on a scaler inside a display. The added DRAM is partially necessary to allow for more bandwidth to memory (additional physical DRAM devices). NVIDIA uses the memory for a number of things, one of which is to store the previous frame so that it can be compared to the incoming frame for overdrive calculations.
