Is it possible to have a ramdisk in vram?
I bought an AMD RX480 with 8GB ram. I think i´ll never use 8 GB vram. So is it possible to have a ramdisk in my vram?.

I do believe it's technically possible, but it's incredibly impractical as you'll inevitably be getting significantly slower speeds than your host memory, as the CPU does not have direct access to the video memory.
Just keep it simple.
