Converting HDD to RAM

[Noctosphere]

So I saw this video about how to convert HDD to RAM.
Seriously, it sounds legit since it only uses windows configuration system,

I would like to know if it really work.

If it does, please tell me if it is also possible to convert HDD to VRAM.
Thanks

Here is the video :

It's a swapfile afaik.

I used to use a sd card for more ram on my older laptop

but, would it be possible to do the same with VRAM?

Without looking at that video, even if you're using a very fast, high end ssd (530 mb/s write, 550 read), it might be a teensy bit slower than the 21 GB/s that most DDR3 ram sticks can run at. And yes that speed will make a difference, a major difference. Your specs in your sig show 16gb of ram, why would you need more?

I don't need more RAM, as I said, I need more VRAM

Time to upgrade your videocard then...

Same problem with RAM, only this time driver fuckery is involved.
Doing the reverse is possible though, as swap.

GDDR5 VRAM can go up to 28 GB/s, it wouldn't be worth it having it on your hdd. It would most likely (assuming it was being used) cause a noticeable fps drop with little added benefits. Not to mention the absolute nightmare of getting the drivers to accept the hdd as VRAM in the first place.

There's also latency.
Data will have to go through the OS, the SATA controller, then through the drive controller.
