Question gpu usage drops/ fps drops

[Rustgamer]

Hello there.
I've been struggling for 2months now. I am playing Rust and after 1 hour I get a fps drop from 60-100fps to 50-65fps. I can't find what my problem is or fix it. I had the following problems but its fixed:
-High temps
-Dirty pc
-Thermal paste was old
My other problems what I still have and don't really know how to solve:
-Gpu usage is okay but it decreases a little over time
-memory usage increases over time
My specs:
-Gtx 1060 3gb
-i5 7400
-2x8gb ddr4
-Micro Atx motherboard
-ssd 256gb
-hdd 1tb
-PSU: Liteon, PS-7501-5, 500W
My temps:
While gaming:
Cpu: 40-60 degress
Gpu: 60-71degress.
After the fps drop the gpu: 59-64 degrees.
Usage:
cpu: 60-90%
Gpu: 55-70% after fps drop gpu: 45-60%
I am so happy when this stuff is fixed. I've tried a lot of things but not a lot changed. I can't say what I've tried because its to much.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

We'll need more information.

Make and model of the motherboard.
Version for your OS if you're on Windows 10.
Age of the PSU.

I'm looking at your PSU being the culprit here as the first cause.

Intelligent standby list cleaner ISLC is a good free program that refreshes your ram set it to 1024 MB min and 4096 MB max. GTX 1060 3gb I think it is a bit low something like 5gb and above would be good and the cpu... I have a Ryzen 7 2700 and for a game like Warzone it doesn't help, I imagine it would be the same for you and Rust. If I were you I would start updating my cpu first to something like 4.0 GHz base clock, then the gpu for something like 5gb, what frequency is the ram? what mobo do you have?

You could try to overclock the cpu to 3.5 GHz, install ISCL, lower graphics settings, increase vram and allocate it on the same storage as the game, clear or delete gpu cache, defrag, get Riva Tuner and set it to 60 fps to lock the fps, tcp optimizer for the packet lost.

My ram frequency is 2133 MHz.

I tried everything. But idk how to "allocate it on the same storage as the game". And I can't defrag. It doesn;t load so weird. And how do I do this: "clear or delete gpu cache"?
