Quick question about installing ram

[AsBakedAsCake 204]

So Im looking to install more DDR4 Ram, all I'm wondering is:

 

If I install more ram, can it be any brand as long as it is DDR4? [Looking to install an extra 8 GB]

 

Or do I have to make sure its compatible with other computer components?

needs to be the same frequency, can be any brand

 

well, doesnt need to be the same, but they will run at the speed of the slowest one so its recommended.

Sometimes a motherboard cannot support all RAM chips.

Also in my AMD settings it says I have GDDR5 memory: https://gyazo.com/1fd5c2a57559d849070b6e8341849521

 

Is this the same as ram? Because someone who worked on my computer already said I had DDR4 Ram and an RX470 even though it says there I have an RX480.

 

Just tryna not order the wrong thing, and i've been wondering about the graphics card for a while anyways.

 

Thanks guys

Thats your Gfx card memory not your actual RAM

 

just make sure your motherboard works with the ram your planning to buy

 

i made the mistake and spent $300 on ram and i couldent even use it lol i learned my lesson after that.

thank you. Is the display saying I have rx480 accurate though? they said it was a 470 gfx card and were trying to "sell" me a 480.

As far as i can tell yes easiest way is to open your computer yourself and check it out
