no, ram disks give better access time than HDD and even SSD, but issue maybe related to either graphics or how it was designed / programmed, but worth a try, as you have nothing to loose, as it's free, easy to setup and worse that can happen is that it doesn't work.
but look at the figures, with HDD being slowest, next is SSD, while your's is a fast one, system ram is faster still, DDR 3 or 4? then you have vga memory which can be on the later cards DDR5, which helps more than anything, as access time delay equals latency, lag or jitter, so for me a faster card with more memory would help more than a ram drive, as the difference between a EVO and system ram will be a lot still, but maybe not the boost that the vga needs as that's where the delay is on displaying the information, not accessing it imo...
I5 to I7 only increases speed the information is sent along the bus, depending on bus speed
For the most part, you'll get faster CPU performance from Core i7 than Core i5. The majority of Core i7 desktop CPUs are quad-core processors, but so are the majority of Core i5 desktop CPUs. This is not always the case, as there are dual-core mobile Core i7 processors and many dual-core mobile Core i5 CPUs, so what you need is a faster single core bus speed and Significantly higher clock speed plus more onchip cache.

while 2gb and 4gb vga cards at the same Core Clock speed would give the same results, altering the resolution alter this, as the larger the res, the more memory it takes to display so the 4gb card will be quicker with a high res setting, well tbh the 2gb slows down and the 4gb stays the same, it doesn't increase it speed etc, just has the ability to display more info at once...
now the geek bit,
GeForce GTX 960 standard
- Core Base Clock: 1190MHz
- Core Boost Clock: 1253MHz
- Memory Clock: 7010MHz
- Memory Size: 2048MB GDDR5
V's
GeForce 980Ti
- Core Base Clock: 1051MHz
- Core Boost Clock: 1140MHz
- Memory Clock: 7010MHz
why pay more to actually get less core speed?
well here's why
GeForce GTX 960 standard
- Memory Bus: 128-bit
- CUDA Cores: 1024
V's
GeForce 980Ti
- Memory Bus: 384-bit
- CUDA Cores: 2816
core speeds the same, bus bus speed well loads quicker, so it gets the same amount of information, just get it quicker, and in game play terms, it's a lot quicker and well worth the extra if money is no object that is[:D][;)]
