Your system has two 8GB RAM modules, totaling 16GB. The MSI Afterburner reports about 24GB being used, which seems high. Task Manager likely shows a higher percentage because it accounts for the memory used by the OS and background processes, not just your games. The actual usage depends on how much RAM is allocated to applications like GTA V.

Usually I'd point out the task manager is incorrect since it tends to be. But with just 16GB of RAM, it claims you're using 24GB—either that's inaccurate or something else is showing up on the graph. The screenshot would help clarify what's actually happening.

I checked three additional titles now, after updating Mis afterburner, and it appears only GTA V is showing high RAM usage, which might indicate an issue with that game.
