Graphics Double Data Rate
Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR) is a type of memory specifically designed for graphics processing units (GPUs). It allows for faster data transfer rates compared to standard memory types, which is essential for rendering high-quality images and videos in real-time. GDDR memory is optimized for the demands of graphics applications, making it a key component in modern gaming and professional graphics systems.
GDDR comes in various versions, such as GDDR5 and GDDR6, each offering improvements in speed and efficiency. These advancements help enhance the performance of graphics cards, enabling smoother gameplay and better visual effects in applications like video games and 3D rendering.
