Video Card as a Hard Drive?
🕑 Added 2025-10-04 04:49:08 +0000 UTCToday we're using a really cool piece of software called vramfs to try and use our VIDEO CARD as a storage device. How cursed can it be?

Came here to say this. Slight variation: VRAM RAID samba fileserver, mounted back to the same device over the network. How ridiculous can it get?

VRAM raid websever? 🧐

Love this channel. Makes me happy 😃

That was wonderfully jank-tastic! Love it.

Or if he used the integrated graphics for display instead of the discrete GPU.

I love these crazy projects. Any idea if this can be done with a more modern graphics card with more memory?

You could probably have had a bigger drive if you did software rendering and use RAM instead ;) So the game doesn't use that precious storage/VRAM for running and rendering
