My only question is dear god why lol?

 

Honestly, why would you want to do this, if it is in hopes of bettering the speed and access to resources in game to run faster, I doubt you have the RAM or CPU that could handle it. Not to mention dedicating your RAM to this will not allow any other general use of that RAM space, unless u want to keep uninstalling and erasing your Warframe data.

 

In the end if your intentions are to go around updating your system, let it go. Virtual Ram is not the way. If you have a large amount of RAM and simply want to play around with running games off your RAM, let it go lol.

 

Steam is too much of a hassel for you to install and then install games onto a virtual drive/ram if you are asking how here...

Running from RAM is kind of pointless (not to mention dangerous and detrimental to the rest of your system). The only difference you might see is loading of a mission or map.

Once you start a mission, all mission relevant resources are loaded into your RAM anyway (800~1500MB) for faster access.

Loading the game onto a RAMdisk is pointless because it creates redundancy; while the game's files are stored in one part of your RAM (the RAMdisk), the relevant files are moved over to another portion of your RAM as they would normally; now this is actually detrimental and could potentially cause MORE slowdown because your RAM may need to perform 4 operations instead of 2 or 3.

RAMdisk is only useful if you have 32~64GB of data and are doing something that requires insane read-write speeds; games are not something that need insane read-write speeds. It's useful for super fast storage and serving files and raw data to programs... it 'might' be useful to keep your texture and sound data there, but once that data is loaded into your RAM on program/mission startup, you have data redundancy which does nothing to improve performance (it actually reduces your available system RAM and thus can reduce system performance)

Don't listen to naysayers, try it and if you think it works better that way, go for it. If not, you can always go back to an HDD installation.

Introduction of me.. i ask apologize:
I have 196 gb ram DDR3 ECC Buffered 1066 mhz in mobo sr-x evga dual socket with E5 2690. (i use xenserver-linux when, with my frends, want play together with game LAN. example: age of mythology, rise of legends and other..)

In this pc i have also windows 7 and, in fact, i will to try up how start the game in RamDisk.

It's only just a test. I will take off the curiosity. : P

I hope in findinf solution for this. Also why, when i want, i can start the game in other drive.

Example: I use HDD for the system (because they have no limits of writing as ssd) and use SSD for game in other door sata.

Then, thank guys for all answers. !

that mobo only supports 96GB of ram, I'm guessing typo?

countered by not using defrag on the SSD.

Also SSDs do not need defragmenting, because the read speed is the same across every part of the 'disk' no matter how 'fragmented' the files become whereas defragging an HDD is for speeding up consecutive read speeds.

Using HDD for the system cause what about SSD?  196GB of ram on a mobo that only supports 96?  Supposedly having this setup but not knowing how to google your own answers.

 

0/10 obvious troll, GTFO

srx mobo support benches 16gb.. sooo: 12x16gb = 192. ( in windows talk 196 )

not is troll.........

It should run fine in a ram disk, same as most things. Just set up your ramdisk software of choice, install warframe there, and play. If you want it to be persistent you'd have to set all your options and then copy the ramdisk to a hard drive, and set it up to be re-created on every boot of windows(or recreate it yourself manually whenever you want to use it), but it's completely do-able. The specifics really depend on what ramdisk software you decide to use. I had a friend that used to run KotOR 1 and 2 this way because of the load times.

Congrats OP, You've wasted 100 GB of RAM.

Your motherboard only supports 8GB RAM sticks; any larger and 1/2 of said stick never gets addressed.

Also, at least allow him to explain himself, don't just be rude for no reason, otherwise why don't YOU gtfo?

Dude. Lol. No. Get out.

Im not single people have over 96 gb ram in sr-x or asus.

If you reading forum EVGA, and if you look every users with profile computer ( example:http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=1878858&mpage=1 looking for user no_fate in thread ), they not guarantee functioning, but with new bios update is highly supported.

Looking for avadirect build pc theyr.

 Anyway....  this is too off topic.

Please, answer who can really help me for start game with ramdisk.

thanks.

I'm gonna LMAO when he burns out his memory controller!  Seriously, have you not build your own computer before this?  That board's memory controller is clearly only designed to handle a certain maximum number of memory addresses, even with it being a Quad channel board.
