I recently started to see slowdowns in several games I play, where FPS would drop to the teens or even single digits. Lowering graphical settings alleviated the problem only somewhat. The games I noticed this in were Bioshock Infinite, Metro LL, and Sleeping Dogs. I also had this problem in DayZ but chalked it up to bad game code.
I did some searching and came across a fix where I increased my page file setting to 7gb (I think it had been at about 1gb), and magically my problem disappeared. All games run at normal FPS now, 60+.
So is this an issue of not having enough RAM (I have 8gb), or is it related to some SSD issue I'm not familiar with? My GPU has 4GB memory, which is almost never maxed out, so I have to assume that perhaps it's related to some kind of Windows problem (I have 8.1)?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
