My RAM drive will only contain meshes and textures relating to terrain, landscape, and LODs, as I'd like this method to be usable even by people with only 16GB of RAM. I will not be loading my entire Skyrim folder onto RAM.
Please do your best to tear me up in the comments.
I'll include a tutorial on how to do so, in case anyone wants to replicate my results.ĭisclaimer: I'm no expert on any of this. This performance gain is due to multiple factors, including access time, maximum throughput, and type of file system.īasically, I'm going to run Skyrim off my RAM because, supposedly, it's faster than doing it off my SSD. The performance of a RAM drive is in general orders of magnitude faster than other forms of storage media, such as an SSD, hard drive, tape drive, or optical drive. I post here today in order to solve one of the greatest mysteries of Skyrim modding-ĭo Ram Disks actually boost game performance?Ī RAM drive (also called a RAM disk) is a block of random-access memory (primary storage or volatile memory) that a computer's software is treating as if the memory were a disk drive (secondary storage). Ladies, gentlemen and everyone in between, If anyone else performs a test, send me the results and I'll add them to this post. Now that school is back on, I don't have the time. UPDATE: I won't be able to perform updated tests for the foreseeable future.
