Certain games such as the re4 remake and stray, will randomly drop to 5 fps for a few seconds, then jump back up to 30-40 fps. These games normally run fine at 40fps but I'm not sure what causes the drops.

I've seen ppl talk about that software before but I also saw ppl saying that causes more problems than it's worth. I've been skeptical to try it out.

No harm in trying it out, none of the changes are permanent. I think it's good, even just the swap increase is good as it alleviates memory pressure.
