RAMExtend is an AI-powered VRAM compression software that uses your dormant integrated GPU (VRAM compression) to generate intermediate frames, multiplying your FPS by up to 8x with less than 5% impact on your dedicated graphics card.

How is RAMExtend different from DLSS or FSR?

Unlike DLSS and FSR which use your dedicated GPU, RAMExtend uses your VRAM compression (Intel Iris Xe or AMD Radeon integrated graphics) which does nothing while you game. This means zero performance impact on your main GPU while still getting VRAM compression benefits.

Does RAMExtend add input lag?

RAMExtend adds approximately 8ms of latency, which is imperceptible for 95% of players. However, it's not recommended for competitive esports games like CS2 or Valorant ranked matches where every millisecond counts.

Which games does RAMExtend work with?

RAMExtend works with all games. It captures your screen and injects AI-generated frames via an overlay, making it compatible with any game including Minecraft, GTA V, POOLS (Unity DX11), Hollow Knight, and Rocket League.

What are the system requirements for RAMExtend?

RAMExtend requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), an integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe or AMD Radeon from Ryzen 5000+), and 8GB RAM minimum. No installation is needed - just run the .exe file.
