So as the title says i have 16gb of ram and when looking at my PC information it even says 16gb (15.9gb usable) but then when you get to doing something that used 4gb it says 90% is being used i have noticed lately that it doesn't seem like i was getting the frames i should be so maybe this is why.
any help is appreciated

PC Specs
cpu- i7 4790k
gpu- evga 1070
ram- 16gb corsair vengeance ddr3
motherboard- asus B85 pro gamer
 
when in game i normally stop utorrent and chrome and there isn't much other then the game running and it will say that its using about 3.9gb and will be on 90% and i dont think its nvidia as most people who game have that and have not experienced this issue
 


Then, redo the resource monitor screen as if you are going to game and see what the resource is being use.
