NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090 comes with 24GB of VRAM. That’s a lot of video memory, right? In fact, PC gamers can even install entire games on it and run them. Yeap, you read that right. Software Engineer “Strife, la fillette révolutionnaire” has installed and played Crysis 3 on the VRAM of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090.
Strife212 has used GPU Ram Drive, a VRAMdrive software, and made a 15GB NTFS partition on the GPU. Then, she installed Crysis 3 on it which apparently worked fine.
I installed Crysis 3 on my graphics card!
I used some VRAMdrive software called GPU Ram Drive, made a 15GB NTFS partition on the GPU, then installed Crysis 3 on it
At 4K very high settings get good fps and the game loads very fast – GPU-Z reports total VRAM use 20434MB pic.twitter.com/lLcQsD5JYM

In 4K/Very High settings, Crysis 3 ran with 75fps on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. Furthermore, and with the game installed on it, the total VRAM usage was 20GB.
Now in case you’re wondering, the loading speeds did not improve. As Strife212 said, loading times similar to those of a fast NVMe drive.
My guess is that the game needs to transfer the data from the VRAM to the RAM, and then feed them to the CPU. Since Crysis 3 was not develop to take full advantage of high-speed transfers, there is no big advantage here. Of course this could change once DirectStorage becomes available. However, and by the time games start using DirectStorage, they will be too big to fit on RTX3090’s VRAM.
Still, it was a really cool experiment so kudos to Strife 212!

This is pretty flippin awesome. Also damn that was gutsy to do that. I’d be afraid of wrecking the video card somehow. But I am not knowledgeable enough in the area to really give any opinion on the matter. Still very cool regardless.
Burn the witch!
“Can you install crysis?”
Why but damn this is impressive but dumb lol
Back in the day i thought i was cool for installing Halo on my ram
and to think there was a time that having 62mb of vram was huge.
I remember having a trident 9750 4mb gpu runing games like sh*t but i couldn’t afford better.
Thank god i can have much better gpu these days.those times 16mb was big a*s holy grail and then came th 32mb gpus.
“she installed Crysis 3…”

I was about to comment with: “The absolute madman!”
Now im sure of it.

What The Actual Fuq is going on around here? What was that man? Jesus! Deliver us from evils. The voice of SHETan Shimself!
I don’t care, but you have to admit it requires some balls to do that with a 3090 (balls and no worries for money). Pretty cool experiment anyways.
Now this is the kind of censorship i can get behind, no linking NSFW stuff, gore pics, etc.
Wow is this really him?
It would actually be stranger if an actual girl made this experiment.
?
A “girl” that ugly will be getting her own video game soon.
Looks like Alice In Wonder Man!
A “man” this dumb might just figure out how to go potty without soiling his diapers soon.
Maybe.
Why the quotations? that’s a man pretending to be a woman.
Which is dumber, pointing out how the guy in a dress is ugly, or getting mad about it like you? Can’t be hard to figure it out.
ahahahahhahaha man you are soooooo angry against gay that you could even be one
So you think gheys are bad if you think people you don’t aprove might be ghey amirite? I don’t like anti ghey that are actually ghey as well, they are just false opposition for anti ghey causes.
No need for the violence bruh. Only do violence onto those that violence onto you. I’m just as uncomfortable around that type of delusional behavior they have but i’m not gonna hurt them. That’s not how we role bruh.
Man, how old are you ? Just post a pic of you then…
Lmao what about the “lady” dressed with a teenager clothes?
If he work out, he can look like that character from the Last of Us 2.
Attention is a very Odd currency these days I tell ya. SMH ?????
SMH had to be the incel squad being bothered by people life choices
I have reported this message as it serves only for harassment, get a life!
R@ping kids is a life choice for you.
I noticed a disturbing lack of pronoums on John Papadopoulos description…
Crysis 3 is 15gb, someone can explain why call of duty modern warfare is 200+ gb?
Crytek was above everyone at the time,their tech is still above mosts of the 2020’s graphics engines.Talent,lots of talent
The engine is really for very limited amount of use cases. Kingdom Come runs like sh*t because it was made on the engine not suitable for the game.
Voice languages can take seriously lot of space
Why in the F i would want to install all voice overs in a single game? Why do repackers like Fitgirl offer the choice of choosing your language but legit devs can’t get their she!t together?
Devs probably dont care about bandwidth cos its publisher problem
Devs, publishers, coudn’t care less which party is more to blame.
Laziness. Has nothing to do with voice lines like someone suggest or whether or not Crysis was above their time. Game data in generally is no bigger than 5-8 gigs, this goes for all games. The rest is cinematics or just terrible optimization/compression. Now you have idiots thinking if the game isn’t huge in file size that means its a short game.
Witcher 3 is 38 GBs tops and it’s 50x the size of any Cod game in content. Because all of its cutscenes are rendered in game/realtime. That’s why you always see a deer photo bombing Geralt. But I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. It’s just a sad state of affairs.
Probably some rudimentary anti piracy measure, there is no legit repacker in the industry, that’s why repackers like fitgirl (which is probably as much of a girl as the one in this article) are so important, you either have cutting edge internet or get f #cked.
They are testing how much abuse their fans can handle.
He*
Nope…she. You don’t get to decide. She does, and she did. Live with it.
You’re right. I don’t get to decide, NATURE does.
Live with the facts. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b2cfda37dfddd2decd3ecb11ae94e088e130e93864088e07d5bd34e68ef8407e.png
Nah playa, the chromosomes already decided. Once it popped out of the womb & we see d*ck, it’s a he pal. No amount of confronting and acting like an entitled brat will change anything. If in case you haven’t noticed where you are, this is Dark Side Of Gaming, but we don’t go that Dark homie.
Lmao some people are still stepped on their little fantasies and we are forced to play along, or else…
It’a fun to do but pointless honestly.
Which is totally why you didn’t do it, right?
i woudn’t do it because i know way better than you who really don’t have a clue.yeah fun experiment but pointless.
I used to have a 256MB GPU.
In Other News: Call of Duty Modern Warfare cannot fit in 250GB SSDs anymore
Then Stop buying call of duty. Don’t reward stupidity.
lol ?
but honestly, the last CoD, the MW’19 by Infinity Ward was at least a breath of fresh air from the usual trash. Look at this year’s Cold War! Same CoD formula all over again. ?
I’ve seen similar claims that MW 19 was somehow “new”, but no evidence to back it up, and how is Modern Warfare new anyhow, it’s just a overused theme, we have way more Modern Warfare games than Cold War games, that’s for sure, even the sequels of Black Ops took in a futuristic direction.
>she
LOLOLOL
Have some respect for people, and for who they are. She figured out how to access, partition and install a game on a GPU VRAM, and you just figured out how to post comments on the internet.
He*
So are you gonna go around and fight everyone that doesn’t agree these delusions. You can’t force people to believe in a lie you know. You’re just wasting time & energy. C’mon man, going from comment to comment, find something better to do with your time.
Have some respect for people, and for who they are. Please do the same with the people who are not “ok” with the way you think.
Sorry chief, is not a matter of what i think/feel or what (s)he thinks/feels…you acept reality or become a delusional liar.
Yeah I’ve noticed the shaming tactic they love to use, “have respect for other people”, or wear your mask “don’t, you care about other people’s health”…. Uhm NO, what about my respect. What about respecting my belief & Autonomy. I don’t know what me believing in their DELUSIONS does for all of us. Or what it even does in the Grand scheme of things. That shaming tactic only serves one purpose, to get you to conform to their NONSENSE & unSCIENCE. The saddest part is, THEY THINK IF FUQIN WORKS. They think I care about “looking like” a good person.
I’m beginning to think why you choose option 2 for comments. Don’t worry Gordon, the tranny already get enough respect from the government and corporations, they don’t need it from simple minded folks such as us, in fact, that would be a liability for him, he woudn’t have anyone to play victim anymore…
installing a program that creates a RAMdisk on VRAM memory is hard somehow?
What a achievment, next he will cut his whang on his own lmao.
I don’t expect anything until NVME drives are supported by DirectX
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/385/854/c4a.gif
It’s not a guess, it’s sure.
It’s using the card memory as a disk, which is pointless.
Of all games, why that complete and utter garbage though?
All these hillbillies in the comments. Yeesh. Incels gone wild.
Man all those incels thirsting for some dumb a*s looking tranny lmao… Oh wait.
Man all those incels thirsting for some dumb @ss looking tranny lmao… Oh wait.
And wheres video proof? Obviously nonexistent.
Now Pc pirate players install Windows on A Gpu and see if this give 1 Fps more kkkkkkkkk you are jokers
LMAO mr selphie!! wow
Poo in the loo?
Yup, the same internet that encourages teenagers to become trans… Oh wait, you wanted to tell something?
Strife …. That mean ff 7 weirdos again
noun
angry or bitter disagreement over fundamental issues; conflict.
“strife within the community”
Not sure if FF7, but weirdos nonetheless.
Try the same with Call of Duty Modern Warfare (the 250 GB one) ;p
That might be a reality in 2050
lol
