What is the difference between gddr3 and gddr5? Do the newer phenoms and boards even support a GPU up to gddr5? or is that just technical bs to get you to buy it? :confused:
 
your fine. Gddr5 is just memory for the card, cpu will run fine. No worries. Either card will work fine.

just wondering if it's worth it, cause I got another gift cert today for 150 so I'm up to 350... so my quadcore and 4870 are looking up now!
 
LOL you just scoring gift certs aren't ya. I would just go for a good video card I mean supergood.
 
honestly ive seen a review where they clocked 4870's and 4050's the same and tested mem differences, and the GDDR5 memory really didnt give much...
