Gmod is allowed to use how ever much it wants, and uses around 12 gb for me. It shouldnt use 8 gbs. Run a ram troubleshooter.
Your specs shouldnt have issues like crashing.
I have a less powerful pc, but get from 40-90 fps on average.
I have an Intel i7 9th gen, a Nvidia GTX 1050Ti, 16gb of DDR4 ram, and the Samsung ssd I mentioned. I run the game at max settings (Since some models and textures break if I don't)
You have a better pc all together, but get less performance even with worse settings. That is very odd.
@Hector is correct, you should try taking your ram out of the pc and back in, as the cards may be loose.

Okay, but when I first start playing it says that I'm getting almost 10000MB. Ill try playing another game to see if it goes over. 10000MB or 8000MB. But thx everyone for your help.

UPDATE: Tried playing ark for a little bit. IK that thats more of a GPU/CPU game so that why I wasn't lagging, but the ram usage wouldn't go over 10000MB still. Screenshot (19).png
Imma try reseating my RAM then, because I've had issues with that before.

Thanks again :)

So I tried reseating and that didn't do it. I also ran the windows memory diagnostics and nothing came up. Imma do some more troubleshooting if you have anymore ideas LMK please.

Sooooo after spending an hour troubleshoot problems with my RAM such as putting them in a different PC. Both sticks are working. Both slots are working. I played for about and hour now and the RAM usage seemed to be under 8000MB before it started lagging. Imma Link my MSI after burner graphs from yesterday. The screenshots are exactly where the frame rate started acting up. I noticed at the same time CPU usage also dropped for an unknown reason. FPS is the first graph you'll see on the first SS.Screenshot (25).pngScreenshot (23).pngScreenshot (22).pngScreenshot (21).pngScreenshot (20).png

So after all this time of the problem hiding in plain sight I finally figured it out. Is seems as if MSI afterburner, was somehow causing the issue I have no idea why, but Ill just need to find a new way to view my FPS and all. IDk why I didn't try something as simple as turning it off before.

One way of having a fps counter and a video recorder at the same time is Geforce Experience. I'm sure you've already heard about it, and if your interested here's the link to the download: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/ I believe that it's only the fps counter however. If that doesn't suite you then I'm not sure of another option unless you find one.
