Difference between ddr2 and ddr3 video cards?

Which would be a better video card one that is ddr2 and 1gb or one that is ddr3 and 512mb?|||DDR2/3 is what type of memory it uses. DDR3 is roughly twice as quick as DDR2. The only game where they recommend more than 512mb is crysis(which is 640mb) So go for the 512mb cos it works faster|||Well the video memory on the second card will perform better. So just so long as you don't use over 512 MB of video memory, the second card should out perform the first. If you exceed 512 (which is probably not too likely), the first will outperform the second.



Note that the video memory is no the only thing which determines a video cards performance. The chipset & clock speed are other important factors.
