Agreed. Actual benchmarks prove that there isn't a difference in load times between SATA and NVMe SSDs for somewhat modern games, much less RAM disks: https://www.pcgamer.com/anthem-load-times-tested-hdd-vs-ssd-vs-nvme/ https://www.pcgamer.com/anthem-load-times-tested-hdd-vs-ssd-... https://hardforum.com/threads/nvme-m-2-ram-drive-raid-sata-iii-ssd-game-load-time-comparisons.1911914/ https://hardforum.com/threads/nvme-m-2-ram-drive-raid-sata-i... Like you said about requiring a bunch of processing, DirectStorage[0] should be able to skip a lot of processing when loading from NVMe. I haven't read that DirectStorage works with RAM disks, but even if it was, there might not be a difference in load times between them. You'd be better off buying more NVMe than RAM, if game load times are your only use case for a RAM drive.
