I got a really annoying problem on my windows 10 high end PC.
I could usually run two things at the same time without problems. That would be a video game on one screen and a browser with video-streaming on the other (Netflix or Amazon Prime).
But ever so often I noticed that my fps drop from ~200 down to 50 or less and whenever I switch to my browser the video-stream freezes for a second and also my mouse will hang for a millisecond and sometimes the browser would freeze for multiple seconds when just typing in words in google search or such.
I tried to refresh all my network settings and network adapter configurations and it kinda helped for a while but after using the pc for another couple of hours the problem came back. It doesnt matter if I watch video-streams with Chrome or Firefox, the problem occurs with both browsers.
There is no AV scan running in the background.
So I am not quite sure where to look next or what to do to find out the source of the issue and get of rid once for all!

This is my hardware:
i9-7900X

Gigabyte AORUS GTX 1080 Ti

ASUS ROG STRIX X299-XE

32GB RAM

Samsung SSD 960 EVO M.2 1TB

2x500GB SSD 850 EVO
Internet connection via 1GB LAN

Nvidia drivers 417.35 from 12/12/2018
WIndows 10 Pro 10.0.17134 Build 17134

Thanks to any expert here for your help in advance!
