am looking for an affordable ram cache software to maybe help reduce load times. i do have a samsung 960 evo m.2 drive but thought maybe a ram cache software might help even more. not sure ramdisk if it is a disk or if it is a ram cache as well or what not. looking for somthing affordable have 16gb of memory if worth it can always raise to 32gb memory. but the game im playing now is 85gb in size so dont think il be caching the entire thing

Your game load times are likely as fast as they are ever going to be with the 960 evo. I doubt ram cache would help in any noticeable way for game load times, it may help in transferring large files or some other application but not games. I also have the 960 evo 500gb and I have barely noticed much of a difference between my old SSD and the 960 evo for game load times, even though its read times are about 6 times faster than my old SSD however I new that going in most reviews show that it will only take a few seconds of load times in most games versus a good sata ssd. So I am doubtful any software will help your load times.

If you still want to try it I have heard good things about super cache: http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/supercache.php

RamCache Software
Ok I Pm'd you a link to my dropbox upload of ROG Ramcache for Win 7-8.1-10 it's free if you wanna find it on the asus website. Since i had the zip handy and the dropbox app i simply dragged it.

RamDisk Opinions
Also, loading times are likely to see a larger boost literally instant (unless the game has a pseudo loading screen, some games do this to show you certain junk they think is necessary) using a RAM Disk.

How RAMdisk and RAMcache work
Ram disk works by creating a recognizable Drive out of available RAM. Then it will create a folder junction. A folder junction is a folder that is used in place of another folder keeping the contents of the original folder intact. When the Ramdisk is unloaded it will copy all data to the orginal folder. A Ramdisk requires you to be able to load the entire game to the RAM. i.e.Overwatch is ~9GB setting a RAMDisk to ~10GB gives enough room to junction the game and allow updates.

RAMCache works by intercepting Read/writes to the drive and saving them in the RAM. If that data is available in the Cache afterwards it will load it from there otherwise it will use the disk.

wanna read more of the differences go here http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/knowledge-base/primo-ramdisk-vs-primocache.html

conclusion/Need more info

Honestly a 960 Evo M.2 should have almost 0 loading time. Is this your main OS drive?

If it is not then your GPU cache will be in your main OS drive AppData folder, this can limit your SSD somewhat. ( I can help you change it's location if needed)
The benchmark below will show me all your main hardware. (here's mine http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/3219425)

Either way try out RamCache maybe it helps you maybe it doesn't. can you post this benchmark http://www.userbenchmark.com/resources/download/UserBenchMark.exe (without any Ram disk or cache enabled) Close all applications using your CPU (use task manager) or it will skew your results. disable your antvirus too ( if you don't trust me , scan the program run it and disable it afterwards then post your result link with it disabled.)

If this solved your problem or if someone else solved your problem please select the answer as the solution. It will help the community grow. These are answers submitted free of charge and some people (me) get rewarded by this simple feature.
