FPS drop in-game when opening a Menu

[oahbpn]

Cpu (i7-2600) at 40%
Cpu0 not 100%

 

Memory (2 x 4gb) at 76%

 

Disk (intel ssd) 0%

 

GPU (gtx 1080) 40%

 

OS Windows 10

 

With Firefox open:

Standing still in-game, I get 111 fps
Maple Story 2, fps drops to 6 fps opening the Inventory Menu

 

With Firefox closed:
Memory at 61%
Fps drops to 15 fps opening the Inventory Menu

 

I think memory is insufficient. 

 

What are your thoughts?

The game recommends 8 GB for best gameplay. So I'd close firefox and everything else in the background until you have more Ram. Also you are bottlenecking that graphics card. The 2600 is not much faster than a top end core 2 quad was and there the limit ist a 960 or maybe a 1050 ti. Not your issue at the moment though. So yeah, more RAM will likely fix your issue. 8 GB should be sufficient.

Frequency-wise, maybe. There is a big difference between the Core architecture and Sandy Bridge, though. IPC improvements, DMI, Integrated memory controller, DDR3, L3 Cache, Hyperthreading...

The results speak for themselves.

More memory will likely solve this, as the game will be able to cache the menu better. I'd advise keeping other programs closed while playing.

If you decide to upgrade then with additional 2 sticks of ram. 
If you only add one i think that you loose performance cause it obviously wont run in dual channel mode.
