My PC specs are as under :
4GB RAM,
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz,
Nvidia GTS 450 1gb.
My question is : will the usage of my RAM affect the performance of my GPU?
I've noticed that when I run multiple programs that consume alot of memory(while playing high end games), my screen starts to flash black,(while ingame) back to normal and then black again, it sometimes becomes so that i can't even see anything or at times it goes black for several seconds.
It makes games unplayable , however on older games i.e games with lower specs it doesn't happen. So does RAM usage affect my GPU? However I've had this problem for a long time but I've made this observation like when im running a high end games such as GTA V and then start firefox or another memory consuming program it either starts(if it wasn't happening before) or becomes more frequent.

I will , and I'll try seeing if i can do more, I can run GTA V , atleast i am fulfilling the minimum requirements, and from what i've tested GTA V runs at about 45 FPS stable at medium settings. But my question was if my GPU is affected by my RAM's Usage
