I mean sure if you have enough RAM. Modern games can be like 100GB on disk easily so yeah if you can load that into a RAM drive it will give you sick load times.

As fast as NVMe drives are, they are still orders of magnitude slower than straight up RAM. More info: https://osgamers.com/frequently-asked-questions/why-is-ram-faster-than-nvme
