I'm getting severe FPS drops in every game I play despite having good specs. I see this problem in every game from something relatively high requirements like battlefield 1 to something as old as league of legends.
My specs are:
ryzen 5 2600 (Not overclocked)
GeForce GTX1060 6GB (Not overclocked)
8gb of crucial ballistix DDR4 3200MHz (Extreme memory profile activated in Bios)
250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
2TB Seagate HDD 7200RPM
CPU Temps are completely normal at about 60 degrees c under heavy load and at 100% usage. During GPU stress testing in heavy load usage was around 60%. I did still encounter lag and there was a GPU usage drop at this point. In kombustor I got the card to 100% load but there were no artifacts or lag. Temps are comfortable during this period.
During CPU stress testing the CPU sat at 100% usage and I did not experience any FPS drops at all. Ram usage sits at 7gb through the whole thing, whatever game I'm playing it's seems to be between 7 and 7.5 GB used. Never 100% but considering league required 4gb of ram I don't even expect it to be this high. Do I need to get more ram?

Do I have a dodgy card or do you think I have something set incorrectly. I also have a GTX 960 lying around so I'm going to try that and see if I still get the issue.

Interestingly it happens far more in league than in games like battlefield 1 and barely happens at all in BF4.

Many thanks. M

After this was written I have installed gtx 960 and reinstalled league but haven't had chance to test yet, will update.
Malware scan comes up clean but this is an almost fresh install of Windows enterprise.

How full is your ssd? Im guessing Windows is installed on it?

Im guessing pagefile is affecting performance along with 8GB ram causing it to grow. Space left on Windows drive can affect pagefile efficiency if not enough.

If your ram is made up of 1x 8GB, another 8 in dual channel will further enhance your cpu and also capacity will help too. 16GB is recommended nowadays.
