Graphics Card
September 30th, 2018
for example,
Sapphire HD5550 1GB D2
Sapphire HD5550 1GB D5
Sapphire HD5570 1GB D3
what the code mean is ?
Does it effect the MOBO compatible ?
Possibly the revision?
D stands for GDDR, GDDR is like RAM but for your graphics card.
Every generation of GDDR is faster then the old one, and a faster, newer GDDR module gives you about 10-15 increased FPS.
I recommend GDDR5
I’m guessing revision

i think this is the answer.
So every mobo could fit with D5 , right ?
Motherboard compatibility has NOTHING to do with GDDR revision.
D stands for GDDR, GDDR is like RAM but for your graphics card.Not really. There’s too many different factors to consider when thinking about performance

Companies usually use GDDR5 on HTPC cards is to reduce heat emission and power consumption. Not to provide better performance
HD 5570 is good
But i recommend you to pool up a few more resources and get the HD5670 or HD 5750

Yes.
I planned to take HD 5750 since it is around 150$ here.
is this comp bein used for gaming by any chance ?

Sorry but that’s not true it’s just like said, the GDDR versions offer you better performance, I won’t even begin about fps since that can’t be proven.
That GDDR5 reduces heat well… don’t know but that would be just logical, I mean like when companies make better/faster ram they also try to reduce the heat.
But overall GDDR5 is made to improve speed, and not “specially” for HTPC, also because HTPC builders pref. a slightly quieter pc instead of a slightly warmer pc.
If you look @ all new Ati cards you can see that they all use GDDR5, does that mean they are all made specially for HTPC?

For what it’s worth all the cards he listed on the top post are HTPC cards and I’m not at all comparing them to a high end.Not really.

That’s a good point..
From what I have found out. the D’s don’t much make of a difference, it’s like DDR2 vs DDR3 there is a slight and I mean slight difference. You won’t notice it unless your a bench marker and even then it’s only by a few frames usually.
