I mean, cool, but I’d rather not?

dspillett•16m ago

So, erm, don't?

gchamonlive•12m ago

Wouldn't it be faster to swap to vram if you are sitting there with 8gigs of it unused than swapping to ssd and burning its write cycles, assuming you absolutely need swap

margalabargala•12m ago

So don't. Not everything is for you.

> Built for laptops with soldered memory and no upgrade path. If you have an RTX card sitting there with 8GB of VRAM and you're getting swapped to SSD, this puts that VRAM to work.

Well, that does at least answer my immediate question about why I would ever swap from expensive RAM to really expensive RAM:) Feels niche, but when you want it it's a good idea.

Q: Why? A: Why not?

xfalcox•15m ago

Given my dev machine has 32GB of RAM and 32GB of VRAM that sits mostly idle when I'm not running AI models, this is not that bad of an idea.
