[Help] 2GB DDR3 Vs 1GB GDDR5

[sijuro]

Hello, I have been searching Google for a comparison of two graphics cards (Sapphire R7 240 DDR3 2GB and the same brand and model but 1GB and GDDR5) and I have not found any that makes it clear for me, please help me.
Thanks in advance

You can see the difference in this image:

On one side 2GB of DDR3 memory, and on the other 1GB but 2.5 times faster.

Salu2!

And what does that mean? If it's not too much trouble

It just means that one has twice the memory but the other is twice as fast.
The context of all this would be to know in what hardware configuration the card is going to be, otherwise there is nothing more to explain.

Buy the 1 Giga one, the other is pure marketing, for games 2 Giga DDR3 and cow shit is the same.

It means that you should never buy a graphics card with DDR3, no matter if it has 4GB, a card with GDDR5 will always perform better, even if it only has 1GB.

better without a doubt the one with 1Gb of GDDR5.
