Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “DDR Memory vs GDDR Memory as Fast As Possible”.
One of the most common questions I receive is my computer uses ddr3 RAM, but all the new graphics cards come with gddr5 Ram. Will they work in my system in a word? Yes, in 74 words? Yes, because the type of RAM your CPU can use your system memory doesn’t impact the type of RAM that your graphics card can use, because the CPU or central processing unit interacts directly with its own memory and the GPU or graphics processing unit interacts directly with its Own memory, those processors work together and communicate with each other through a PCI Express slot, so the type of RAM they’re each using doesn’t matter so. Another common question, then, is this: why is video card memory so far ahead of system memory? Gddr5 has been available for years, while ddr4 is still not available, there’s basically no mention of DDR 5 at all. Can’T we just use gee ddr4 our CPUs to take advantage of all those technology improvements. Well, this sensor is a little bit more complicated while each new generation of gddr3 dr aims for similar improvements over the last one, higher capacities, reduced heat output and power, consumption and higher performance, particularly with respect to maximum bandwidth.
That doesn’t mean that these technologies are the same. A common misconception is that there is a correlation between the generational numbers in GD d, r and d, dr they’re, independent of each other G ddr2 with somewhat related to ddr2. But the newer, ddr4 and gddr5 standards are actually much more closely related to ddr3 than to ddr4 or a future DDR 5 standard. Ok! So, if they’re not really as different as they sound and they’re just variations of similar technology, why do we need two different types of memory? Well, as the old saying goes, horses for courses, my friends, I mean Oh ROS, I didn’t mean Mille courses.
I meant race courses yeah, that’s not even a tasteful joke. Sorry now that we’re back on track. Now, that’s a great joke! My point stands. You want memory, that’s relized for your application, but we a typical person, uses a computer.
We don’t actually need any more bandwidth for system memory, it’s much more important for everyday tasks to have very low latency access to your RAM with better granularity, while a graphics card is typically moving massive chunks of data into and out of the frame buffer. That is the RAM things like high resolution, game, textures or large data sets for computer simulation work. The average desktop is being bombarded with a multitude of much smaller transfers like that instant message you just received or that virus scan, that’s picking through all your files. In the background, normal DDR is optimized for desktop use and GDD are just wouldn’t be as suitable, in spite of its impressive on paper performance numbers, especially with respect to bandwidth. Speaking of impressive performance. We’Ve got a new sponsor that we absolutely love. Shutterstock.Com is the affordable way to get royalty, free stock photos, graphics and video footage that you can use for anything from gussy up a PowerPoint presentation, all the way to inclusion in a professional newscast before we accepted them as a sponsor. I actually went ahead and bought a two hundred and fifty dollar monthly subscription to evaluate the service.
That plan entitles us to 25 images per day and it has made life so much easier for my video editor for this video. He just fired up their awesome search tool to browse their enormous 30 plus a million image library found something that Illustrated the point I’m making and added it to the video, no worrying about usage rights, I’m easily saving my $ 8.50 per day in time alone. Of course, I know not everyone edit its videos. Every day, though, don’t worry, they’ve got everything from pay-as-you-go all the way to enterprise grade solutions, with extra support and enhanced usage rights.
So guys you should definitely check it out. You can see their entire image library with watermarks for free, so head over to shutterstock.com and try it out and if you like, it make sure you use, offer code tech 214 to get 25 % off. Your new account thanks again to Shutterstock for supporting tech quickie and thanks again to you guys for watching this video like it and share it. If you liked it dislike it, if you disliked it leave a comment, and let no did this help clarify DDR versus G.
Ddr for you, or did you already totally understand this, and now it’s just a convenient little resource for you to send to people whenever they ask about it and right, don’t forget to subscribe either. .
