So I've been dealing with this problem for a while now. I upgraded my cpu, mobo and ram but the problem is still there so I'm guessing its the GPU's problem.

When my GPU load is 99% (I'm using GPU-Z) games run perfectly fine but the problem begins when the load hits 100%. The FPS drops to around 1-5. To fix that temporarily in need to alt-tab from the game. When playing pubg, I'm having a huge fps drop also when I open the inventory. The GPU load goes to 100%. When playing Black Desert Online, it just happens randomly. From what I can see my temps are alright. When playing games my memory usage doesn't go above 60%. CPU usage is relatively low.

HARDWARE:
Ryzen 5 1600
MSI B350 TOMAHAWK
GeForce GTX 950 (not overclocked)
16gb ram

I'm not an expert at this staff so please if someone has a solution for this problem please help.

Sorry for bad english.

I was also thinking that but when the lag happens, memory used is around 2000MB and the max is 2048MB so I'm not really sure if that's the problem.

That will be it. It never goes to the max and 48 megs does not mean anything and also your cpu is alot stonger then your gpu so it probably is time for an upgrade to vega or gtx 1060 is what I would do

Yeah I was planning on upgrading my graphic card but it may take some time. Is there really nothing I can do about this problem?
