http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=N68-S It's my motherboard. I heard from a friend that my motherboard has to support DDR5, but I heard that all you have to have is a PCI-Express Slot. Is that true?|||GFX card ram is different to motherboard ram. Motherboards typically have DDR3 ram nowadays, and GDDR5 for graphics cards. All you need is a free PCI-Expesss slot in your motherboard.|||Gddr5 memory found on a graphics card is different from DDR2 or DDR3 system memory that's supported by a motherboard. Your motherboard doesn't have to support a certian memory type found within a graphics card.
Right now DDR3 is the standard. Everything that's new supports DDR3 system memory. Most of the graphics cards on the Market have GDDR5 memory. People are always running a GDDR5 graphics card with a motherboard that takes DDR3 system memory.
DDR4 system memory should come out late next year. It probably won't be the standard memory until 2014. I read a long time ago that GDDR5+ would be used with AMD's next die shrink on their graphics cards. If the Radeon 7000 series have GDDR5+ memory it will still work with a DDR3 motherboard.|||Your "friend" is a moron.
The motherboard neither knows nor cares what kind of memory is on the video card. As long as the mobo and vid card have the same slot type (PCIExpress 16x, doesn't matter what revision), IT WILL WORK.
The memory on the video card is exclusively used by the card's GPU chip. It has NOTHING to do with the motherboard whatsoever.
