There is nothing known as DDR5. It is a typing mistake if written anywhere.

DDR3 is a type of RAM. GDDR5 is a type of RAM based on DDR3. GDDR5 is found on graphic cards. GDDR5 is faster than DDR3.

So, while buying low-end graphic cards, a version with GDDR5 will be faster than the version with DDR3.

The type of RAM on your computer has no relation with the type of RAM you can have in your graphic card.

In short, its supplying your computer hardware with additional power, so as to increase the "clock speed" of your clock or memory..
thereby delivering more performance..
You may use softwares like AMD catalyst, MSI After burner etc to overclock GPU
