Hello! I hope it's the right section to post this subject, sorry if it's not. So..I upgraded the graphic cards on my computer just today, going from a GTX 1060 6GB to an AMD RX 9060 XT
(I even posted a thread here)
It looked fine at first, I could play Cyberpunk 2077 easily as I wished.

But then I tried to play Player's Unknown Battleground with friends and a problem occured. My computer experience small freezes whenever I opened the inventory and tried to grab gear on the ground. Every single time.

And after looking through the task manager, I found out that I had a huge RAM consumption (14GB, when my friends used 5/6GB)
But also horrendous spikes on 'material fault'(sorry for potential wrong traduction)

After reading infos on internet I figured out it was more a software than hardware problem, thus posting here.
After trying several things, I figured out it wasn't only the game, but also at launch:

And it looks like I experience a spike whenever I try to open photoshop, so I think it's everytime I run a program?

My RAM usage looks suspiciously high too, I assume it's not normal to use 6-8GB of RAM while doing nothing, no matter how many programs run in the background?
To be clear I'm not 100% sure the problem wasn't there before, but I didn't experience such problem on my game before today.

Alright! so...I just reinstalled windows entirely.
I'm using 7GB of RAM just for windows, Discord, Steam, Firefox and Gog Galaxy at the moment, but I was told that was normal? Damn, I didn't realize it took so much just to run the computer nowadays.
Still have that material fault problem, but I was told it was windows using my SSD to help with RAM and it was normal...
PUBG works fine now though...so was it just a problem of not enough RAM? It's strange the problem occured just after I installed my new video card. Does a video card use RAM?
