My RAM and VRAM keep piling up, and I don't know why. While I'm using my PC during the day, playing games or consuming content (mostly playing games), the RAM and VRAM keep piling up little by little, even when i close the game and just have two or three applications open, and my RAM usage is 12 - 14GB out of 16GB, also of the VRAM, 8 - 10GB out of 12GB, just being on the desktop or in chrome, not even playing games.
I've already tried to clear the cache from the AMD software and it doesn't do anything, the only solution is to restart the PC, this didn't happen before, it could be the GPU drivers (Adrenalin 24.7.1). I realized this when I opened Wallpaper Engine, and it told me that the video memory was insufficient, and I didn't have anything open. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
My PC specifications:
-Ryzen 5 5600.
-Radeon RX 6700 XT.
-16gb RAM Corsair Vengance RS 3600MHZ
-Gigabyte M550M DS3H rev 1.2
-SSD 480Gb Western Digital Green WD NVME SN350 2400Mb/s

Make sure tabs open in Chrome aren't mining stuff in the background.
