video card memory

This is quite a simple question ... ... but how does the video card's memory relate to the supported memory of the motherboard? If the motherboard says it supports ddr2 can I run a video card with ddr4? Or are the video card's and the mother board's memory speeds independent of each other.

 

they are independent of eachother so ddr2 board runs video with ddr3 or 4 no problems

 

The two are not related, actually. It got a bit confusing when video cards released DDR2, DDR3, GDDR3, DDR4 etc, but those are not the same as system DDR-2 and DDR-3 memory.

In short, you can run any graphics card that is supported by your motherboard's graphics slot (PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express), regardless of graphics memory specs.
