Question Dell G15 gaming I7 16gb ram 80% memory usage for CS only?

Hi Guys

I wanted to upgrade from my old dell model to the newer one (Dell G15 i7 16gb ram) and whats weird enough is that the same game running is slower on the new laptop.
I checked the RAM and it shows that 80% is being used, however checking the sum it is less than 4gb, for a 16gb laptop. I checked in the ram settings, around 11 to 12 gb is allowed to be used, i do not understand why this is happening.

what the resource monitor said?

Check in Task Manager -> Performance Page -> Memory and see if "Non Paged Pool" is significantly greater than 1GB.

Also fun tip, if you right click on the header while in the Processes Page, then Resource Values -> Memory -> Percentage, it actually adds up to what's being reported in total (more or less). Another way of seeing an app's "actual" memory usage is to go to the Details page, right click on the header, select "Select Columns", and tick "Working Set."

Memory now at 47% with nothing running literally - just the browser
