Wouldnt you have to load 60gb's onto the ramdisk everytime you start your pc? Would be awesome though. Someone got 64+gb ram laying around?

Lol someone who has 64gb laying around has a bugatti and is probably not at home right now.

As someone posted below LTT have done more ram, Someone surley must have some server grade equipment laying around :D

Defrag, also depends on the host of the session.

 

Why would you? The game loads incredibly fast on RAID 0 SSDs.

I don't have any SSDs :(((( 

 

You're more than welcome to mail me some and I'll vouch for ya ;) (jks)

 

YES!

I agree!

 

Because...several times the bandwidth...

 

If Edzel's workstation still has 128GB of RAM, we should get LTT to try it.

 

This would be a cool video :D

Even some benchmarks would be awesome

 

But it would make virtually no difference...

b...b...b...but science?

 

Wouldnt you have to load 60gb's onto the ramdisk everytime you start your pc? Would be awesome though. Someone got 64+gb ram laying around?

Yes you would, In-practical but a video showing it off would be sweet!

 

 

Lol someone who has 64gb laying around has a bugatti and is probably not at home right now.

 

and probably does't play GTA :((((((((((

It would be only for testing purposes, and it would be nice to see the results.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

I for one would like to see someone test this, I guess for curiosity and what not. I'd like to see the difference vs a ssd or raid0 ssds, then a personal take on the experience. I don't expect it to be all that great and it's not practical by any means, but does that really matter?

GTA V doesn't take long to load on a SSD anyway.  GTA Online however, loads like a mofo, and it's not due to storage loading, it's just the game doing who knows what that takes a freakin age to load.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
