Low Memory with high committed memory usage

[robkent2002]

So I am having an issue with high memory usage, and I have no idea how. When playing ARK the other day with max settings I crashed to desktop with a low memory warning, odd so I restarted.

By the time I got around to playing my computer again Black Ops 3 Beta finished downloading so I started that up, and crashed with a low memory warning. So I restarted, opened Bo3, and when I looked at the task manager the committed memory is at 16.7GB/16.9 GB. Windows is managing the page file by the way, and I have no idea where the issue is coming from. By comparison, playing Witcher 3 at max everything I get 11.7GB/16GB committed memory usage. Please see attached images.
