Someone has installed and played Crysis 3 on the VRAM of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090 – DSOGaming

He is a PC video gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities.Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on various video gaming sites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles.

In 4K/Very High settings, Crysis 3 kept up 75fps on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. And with the video game installed on it, the total VRAM use was 20GB.
Now in case youre wondering, the loading speeds did not enhance. As Strife212 stated, loading times comparable to those of a quick NVMe drive.
My guess is that the video game needs to move the information from the VRAM to the RAM, and then feed them to the CPU. And by the time games start using DirectStorage, they will be too huge to fit on RTX3090s VRAM.
Still, it was a truly cool experiment so kudos to Strife 212!

NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090 comes with 24GB of VRAM. Software Engineer “Strife, la fillette révolutionnaire” has actually set up 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. She installed Crysis 3 on it which apparently worked fine.

I set up Crysis 3 on my graphics card!
I utilized some VRAMdrive software called GPU Ram Drive, made a 15GB NTFS partition on the GPU, then installed Crysis 3 on it
At 4K extremely high settings get great fps and the video game loads very quick– GPU-Z reports amount to VRAM usage 20434MB pic.twitter.com/lLcQsD5JYM
