On the one hand, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is so big it won't fit on a 250GB SSD. On the other hand, here's Crysis 3 running on the VRAM of a Geforce RTX 3090, a little different, no?

The shiny new RTX 3090 has a 24GB framebuffer, and as software engineer Strife demonstrated on Twitter, by setting up a 15GB partition to install the game, Crysis 3 could run on it I was able to do so. As she explained on Reddit, "There's no benefit to it, except that it's really fun. The load times are almost identical to a fast NVME drive, and I was hoping it would be faster, but instead of doing it the 'proper' storage API way, there's this weird bottleneck."

Indeed, that is quite impressive. But can it run Crysis?
