The video graphics in your HP ENVY dv7-7394ef is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M (2 GB GDDR3 dedicated). I am unsure what you are asking as your video card is NVIDIA already. I am linking you to your product specification below and as you can see under the video graphics it shows your NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M (2 GB GDDR3 dedicated).

The RAM being referred to is the RAM that is on the video graphics card. The difference is speed DDR 5.0 being faster. So do not worry when/if you change your graphics card the RAM is changed a the same time.

No you do not have to change the computer RAM there is no such thing as DDR 5 RAM for a computer only the video graphics card. Your video graphics card will come with the RAM already installed.

Hi iluxion. What is the model number of your notebook and I will look at the service manual for your notebook.
