so i have the asus tuf f505du gtx 1660ti 256ssd 1t hdd and 16gb ram so when i run a bench mark on userbenchmark its says only 1 ram of 2 is used also my fps on games like overwatch is lower than the reveiws on youtube in the control pannel should i use integrated graphics or nvidia processer

It looks like you are running on one 16GB RAM stick so your system isn't taking advantage of dual-channel architecture. With dual-channel you could expect anywhere between a 5-12% memory performance gain. The CPU would also get a performance boost in going to dual-channel. However, you'd have to verify a couple things to do this:

You would need to verify that your system has the physical capability to put another stick of RAM in.
You would need to verify that your system can run with the pair of sticks you want to use, in dual-channel mode.
You would need to get the exact same mfg/model of your current stick of RAM to even have a chance if it running in dual-channel with your current 16GB stick.
It may sound...

It may sound counterproductive, but I think you'll be better off picking up a 2x8GB (or 2x16GB, if needed) kit of RAM compatible with your system and selling the one 16GB stick. That way you are assured dual-channel mode.

Also, I just noticed that your RAM is running at 2400Mhz. What was the speed of the RAM advertised as when you purchased the system? For the video card, check that the drivers are up-to-date and check driver/overclocking settings.

I recently upgrade a budget laptop from a single 8GB stick of RAM to two 4GB sticks to enable dual-channel. Although you can't compare the two systems directly (mine is a budget system) you can see the performance increase it netted me.
