Any way to use the GPU's VRAM for RAM Disk?
It's probably possible, but it's a very stupid idea.
why
>>51835532
isnt gddr5 way faster then regular ddr3 ram?
>>51835544
yes, but it's purpose built for GPU usage
You might get higher speeds, but good luck with RAM errors bud.
what if i put my swap file on my ram disk?

Try and post back results please.
yes, in linux at least
>>51835513
pci express bus will make it slower than regular ram
Yes, if you use Linux. https://github.com/Overv/vramfs
It does exactly what you asked for.
>>51835513
It would have too much travel distance and the GPU's memory is already faster
actually id want this, finally a use for the r9 390's 8gb of vram
thats a great way to make use of a r9 390

Can you boot from vram?
>>51838115
don't see why not (if you count copying / to a vram-based ramdisk and booting into that)
