Thor. Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Hello SSD's owners , If you have a SSD like me you would know that Skyrim runs Reeealllyy Smooth, no lag or anything.. Also tell us your wacky experiments that only a ssd can do and so on, like filling the Bannered Mare with Elven Armour to the brim, and still get 60fps :teehee: it was lol's Also dropping well over 20000k of weapons, not to mention enchanted down a mine shaft lol.. Yup still was at 60fps after dumping them all, amazing really what bandwidth allows you to do.. :teehee: Skyrim really benefits from a ssd, i mean really benefits.. Edited May 18, 2012 by Thor.

MorwynKelm Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I created a 8GB RAM disk and installed it there. You can't beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yes you can, ram disks are limited to only the game itself, Don't forget those mods and everything, it can get quite big in size.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) @Morwyn Kelm, hi, curious about your preferred RAMdisk app to create a 8GB (or more) virtual drive, are you running a win7-64bit os?here are a few of them in a year old benchmark test (using winxp): http://www.raymond.cc/blog/12-ram-disk-software-benchmarked-for-fastest-read-and-write-speed/anyway, thanks in advance.

Why aren't I surprised. There's always some smart-mouth that wants to just be contrary. Thanks. You don't even know what you're talking about. @Morwyn Kelm, hi, curious about your preferred RAMdisk app to create a 8GB (or more) virtual drive, are you running a win7-64bit os?here are a few of them in a year old benchmark test (using winxp): http://www.raymond.cc/blog/12-ram-disk-software-benchmarked-for-fastest-read-and-write-speed/anyway, thanks in advance. I use SuperSPEED, have for years. It's got real low overhead and runs wonderfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Oblivion broke 21GB for me, when it was all modded with fully replaced normal maps. How big can RAM disks be set to? I might want to try that. Edited May 23, 2012 by Rennn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAM disc is only limited to the amount of RAM you have available. Generally, I don't assign more than half of my total RAM installed. I have 16GB and wouldn't make one more than 8GB. Remember, that disc is storage, it's no longer available to you for use by your system as conventional RAM. When you boot into Windows, it will show your available RAM minus whatever you designated for your disc. The benefits are amazing. I use one that is mounted at boot. For general use, I run a 2GB ram disc and it's for temp files, browser cache, etc. Less wear on the disc, I use ssds for my system, platters for storage. You can install Skyrim to a RAM disc but the better choice is to map your /data/ folder to it. Keep it under 8GB and watch it absolutely FLY. Zero stutter. Zero lag for load times. Zero waiting for anything. RAM Discs rock. Been using them since the early Amiga days. PS; disable your swap file in Windows - it's useless. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Okay then. I'll just wait for DDR4, because right now I have 4GB of DDR3, and I'm not looking forward to getting 16GB of RAM that I'll have to buy again in a year. Thanks for the explanation.
