Ramdrives were popular back when the ratio of disk speed to RAM speed was a LOT worse than today and memory management was a lot simpler. any other RamDisk tips/hints (OTHER then don't use one lolz) Thanks I hope to get some yummy tips from all you bleeding edgers out there. ![]() Can I get the performance increases I'm looking for by only moving the cache files (I'm using Windows 8.1, so I can use the new folder "relocate" option to have Windows look on my RamDisk for the files.) But I also can't seem to find a way to tell windows to relocate a user created folder, only seems to be able to relocate system made folders. Will I actually have to have a +22gb Ramdisk to install eve 3. ![]() I'd like to hear from anyone who is ACTUALLY using a RAMDisk with Eve, what were the installation issues/workarounds etc. So here are the topics I'd love some feedback on. mmmkay? At first, I downloaded the 4 mb EVE installer and dropped it on my ramdisk and the installer complained that it needed 22gb of free space for the install ?!? Last I heard Eve needed 12gb of space, so what's up wit dat CCP? I have a PCIe SSD drive to load my ramdisk images from ( I plan to use a RamDisk for each of my games) and load times for a 10gb disk is about 14 secs, so it's a one time startup hit that pays over and over, with Radeon's RamDisk software ($15 USD) I can save an unlimited number of different game installations on my SSD's. ![]() I'd like to keep this thread on the topic of cache files and RamDisk usage with Eve and not on other places to speed up the game as we all know a good graphics card is a must. I suspect that it will make a difference and I'm all about finding different ways to speed my system up. I'm the proud owner of 16gb of RAM, and although there was a lengthy thread about why you shouldn't bother with a RAMdisk for eve, I want to install one anyway and test it thoroughly in large fleet battles.
