don't think your graphics card is DDR4 mate...at most it's DDR3 or I've missed the launch of DDR 4 memory

what model is your card?

Graphics Memory is different to the system Memory so shouldn't make any difference.

GDDR vs DDR

As above, your system memory is DDR2, but the RAM on your graphics card must be GDDR4. Those numbers don't need to match in any way; they'll play perfectly happily together.

I think ATi cards have got upto GDDR5 now.
Theyre completely different, system RAM that goes into the mobo holds no bearing on the GPU memory.
