periodically short freeze and long delay in online game

Hi,
I am periodically getting a short freeze and then about 40 seconds of long delay between my inputs and them being registered in game. Happens every 5 minutes.

What could be the cause and how to find out?

I`m using cable for internet, speed test shows 52 mbps, can't find program to show internet speed in game.
OS: Win 10 Home
mainboard: ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 3.40 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti
RAM: G.Skill F4-2400C15-8GTZRX

Sounds like paging to me, but here's some first steps for you to do...

Do you only have the 1x 8GB stick of ram?
Look in task manager and see if ram is full when this issue occurs.
Also note what cpu + gpu usage is at when this issue occurs.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti has 4GB ram, not enough for a lot of things - so also check if that's full.

What game are you playing and at what resolution?

Are you using an SSD or HDD?

Thanks!
No, i got 2x 8gb.
ram is not full when issue occcurs.
cpu and gpu usage are at 21 and 100 percent when this happens.
vram should not be a problem for the game where issue occurs.
I play efootball 22 at 1920x1080.
Using ssd.

In that case I think it's just a case of barely meeting the system requirements for the game, plus the game has overwhelmingly negative reviews on steam so maybe you're not the only one.

The next step would be getting a better graphics card, but it just isn't worth it, so give up the game instead or put up with the issue, make sure all the game graphics settings are on the lowest setting.
