6 Things to Know About Running Cyberpunk 2077 on a RAM Disk

64GB of RAM is not enough Cyberpunk 2077’s install size is 70–80GB with the high-res texture pack, before updates or DLC. A 64GB RAM disk leaves you at least 10–20GB short.

The entire game must fit on one RAM disk You cannot split the game directory across drives. The game expects everything in one place, so partial storage doesn’t work.

You need at least 128GB of RAM for modern AAA titles To run Cyberpunk on a RAM disk, you need 128GB of system RAM. That is expensive and overkill for most builds.

RAM disks are best for smaller games For indie or older titles under 50GB, a RAM disk can speed up load times. For Cyberpunk, it is impractical.

A fast NVMe SSD is a better alternative A good NVMe SSD offers near-instant load times without the cost and complexity of a RAM disk. Save your RAM for actual system tasks.

Updates and DLC increase the required space Cyberpunk’s size grows with patches and expansions. Even if you squeeze it onto 64GB today, future updates will push it over the limit.
