“Install Windows 11 on Graphics Card Memory: The Ultimate Guide with GpuRamDrive”

Have you ever thought regarding installing Win11 system in the graphics card memory? Such an incredible idea was realized by the developer NTDev.

First, you need to use theGpuRamDriveA tool to create a “hard disk environment” in the memory of the graphics card, and then use Hyper-V, etc. to create an emulator.

GpuRamDriveThe application allocates a memory buffer in GPU RAM and uses it as a virtual RAM disk. The project is realized by ImDisk and its proxy function.

Using GPU RAM isn’t as fast as mainframe main memory, but it’s still faster than a regular hard drive.

According to the official website, if the system is equipped with GTX850M and i7-4710MQ, since the IO operation occurs between the CPU and the GPU, the GPU may become active from the idle state, but relatively speaking, it may also cause the system to consume more electricity.

So, which system should you choose to install?

If this machine is installed with RTX 4090 or RX 7900 XTX and other graphics cards with more than 20GB of memory, you can choose the full version of Win11, but NTDev wants to show the extreme situation. He has an RTX 3050 laptop with graphics memory The body is only 4GB.

As the author of the Win11 three-party streamlined system Tiny11, NTDev showed how he installed Tiny11 into 4GB GDDR6 memory.

After booting, use CrystalDiskMark to test the hard disk transmission speed of this machine. The read is regarding 2GB/s, and the write is regarding 2.5GB/s, which is equivalent to PCIe 3.0 SSD.
