What is GDDR memory?

GDDR or graphics double data rate memory refers to memory specifically designed for use on graphics cards. GDDR is distinct from the more widely known DDR SDRAM types such as DDR3, although they share some technologies - including double data rate design - in common. read more

GDDR SDRAM is distinct from the more widely known types of DDR SDRAM, such as DDR3, although they share some of the same features—including double data rate data transfers. As of 2014, GDDR SDRAM has been succeeded by GDDR2, GDDR3, GDDR4, and GDDR5 SDRAM. read more

Put simply, GDDR RAM is designed to work with graphics workloads generated by (a) GPU(s) and DDR RAM is designed to work with computing workloads generated by (a) CPU(s). read more

GDDR, which is Short for graphics double data rate, is a type of memory tailored for use with video cards. While it shares design similarities with the DDR SDRAM used as system memory, it is important to note that GDDR has several distinctions that make its performance much faster. read more
