System RAM and Video RAM are two separate technologies, and do not directly depend on each other. It is possible to run a video card with GDDR6 on a system with only DDR1 RAM installed, and just as possible to run a video card with GDDR1 on a system with DDR3 RAM installed. Having a high speed GDDR video card will improve rendering performance, while having high speed RAM will improve loading times.

Many motherboards with integrated video use a certain amount of system-RAM as your video RAM. If this is the case you may be able to go into BIOS and change how much RAM is being used for this purpose. Note that in these cases increasing video RAM will decrease the amount of system RAM.Other motherboards with integrated video have dedicated video RAM built-in. In these cases your only option is to replace the motherboard or, if the motherboard has an available expansion slot, disable onboard video & install a proper video card.
