Is it possible to get more fps by increasing the ram
I usually get 120 fps after running the game with lowest graphics configuration and my gpu is gtx 1050 with 16gb of ram so I wanted to know if 120 is the max fps or if I can receive more from my gpu without overclocking.

And yeah i forgot to mention that the minimum ram requirement of the game I play is only 8 gb however I already have 16 gb available.
The 1050 is a pretty low end card and very old.Its basically the first of the 10xx series.
RAM usually helps if you have stutters or If you want to use chrome for music etc while playing and since you have 2x the RAM the game recommends,it's nearly impossible to see any improvement regarding your FPS.And even IF you got more fps,we are talking about 1-2 fps,if any at all.I would recommend stepping up your GPU to a 1060 6GB or more if you want more fps.

What CPU are you using?

Depends, but with you having a 1050 i'm assuming you're at 1080p so 16GB is more than fine and more won't make any difference.
No. It`s possible to get more FPS by getting better graphics card. GTX 1050 is basically ancient at this point.

if you dont have enough ram, yes
or if the new ram kit is faster, yes

but the 1050 is most likely the limiting factor
and fps higher than the displays refresh rate is pointless

with vsync on it will only display the latest frame drawn
or vsync off, each displayed refresh will consist of multiple frames stitched together with tear lines

Then, not really, your system is the limit, cpu and gpu are slow, faster ram could have some minor gains, depending what you are running, but capacity doesn't matter as long as you have enough, extra does nothing.
You have decent enough CPU to run something like RTX 3060 12 GB, RTX 4060, RX 6600 etc.
Adding more RAM for your 16 GB will do nothing.

Does increasing the resolution makes any changes because I'm currently playing at lower resolution for better fps 1600×720

short answer Yes. Long answer, maybe.

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

While it depends on the game, you may be at the limit of your cpu pretty much, upgrading the gpu will allow higher settings, but you might not gain much or any fps, what games are you playing?

Ram usage never goes up more than 75-80 percent while playing and 55 percent while in the main menu of the game so I believe you're right

League
If you didn't have enough RAM, you wouldn't get a consistent 120.
There would be drops and stuttering due to the swapping on the occasion.

A game that still runs at over 100fps on a ten years old entry level card as the 1050Ti won't need much RAM anyway -- back then, 8GB was still common, and 16GB the recommended. I had a 1050Ti. It didn't run at 60fps on the first game I bought right with it, Dishonored 2, on reduced settings.
