Yes, you can use a GDDR5 graphics card with a DDR4 motherboard. The two are not directly related and do not have any compatibility issues. The type of memory used by the graphics card does not affect the type of memory used by the motherboard.

However, it is important to ensure that your motherboard has a compatible PCIe slot for your graphics card. Most modern graphics cards use PCIe 3.0 or 4.0, while some older motherboards only have PCIe 2.0 slots. Make sure to check the specifications of your motherboard and graphics card to ensure they are compatible.

Another factor to consider is the power supply. GDDR5 graphics cards tend to be more power-hungry than their DDR3 counterparts, so you will need to ensure that your power supply has enough wattage and the necessary PCIe power connectors to support the graphics card.

Overall, as long as your motherboard has a compatible PCIe slot and your power supply can handle the graphics card's power requirements, you should be able to use a GDDR5 graphics card with a DDR4 motherboard without any issues.
