This happens because you're utilizing your integrated graphics instead of a dedicated video card. The Intel UHD graphics are operating at full capacity while the dedicated card remains idle. Connect your monitor's display cable directly to the graphics card's back panel—not the motherboard. This also explains the high RAM consumption, as the system is treating the integrated graphics as VRAM. Your graphics card contains 6GB of dedicated VRAM.

It clarifies the issue. The monitor you're using lacks DVI connectivity, which is common for modern displays and graphics cards. Please specify your monitor model to check its output options.
You don't have to purchase a new monitor. Because your monitor lacks HDMI or DisplayPort ports, you'll need to connect it via a DVI to HDMI cable or use an adapter that fits your existing cable. These items are commonly available on sites<|pad|>, such as eBay and Amazon, for a price ranging from $5 to $10.
The setup may differ based on location and available stores, but it will be a cable similar to this one.
Connect the DVI end (resembling your current cable) to the monitor and the HDMI end (smaller, thinner version) to the graphics card in your computer.
