you should try bns buddy too, it's can stabilize your fps
Have heard about it on multiple occasions. I don't feel particulary comfortable by having to enter login credentials in a 3rd party software to run BnS.
But it seems to have source code available, will review it to see if i can find anything fishy and make my decision based on that.

I have the same CPU as you, ram , ssd, just a worse video card, and i never drop under 60-70 fps in populated areas ....not even raids LOL.
So it might be RTX related. How's your GPU usage? Does it go up to 100%?
Max settings 1440p or 1080p?

I don't do raids often, but i did BT yesterday, the method provided in video didn't improve much in that area, was getting mostly 30-40 fps, might have jumped to 45, but i didn't pay that much attention to it at that moment, simply disabled other characters instinctively with Ctrl F and went on with the raid.
Those 60+ are only in heavily populated areas.
In dungeons, less populated areas and raids with disabled characters i get constant 120 fps with the same gpu(45-55%)/cpu(20-30%) usage as in heavily populated areas.
I still have to test Koldrak. Previously my fps dropped below 60 there even with other characters disabled there.
In any case, the glaring issue with BnS is that available resource usage doesn't rise when fps drops. Though i can't guarantee that the cause isn't with RTX series themselves, after all they are rather fresh. We would need someone with 1080 ti to confirm that for him/her the gpu also sins't fully utilized.
All of the above was at max settings, 1440p.

Outside of loading screens my cpu usage stays at something like 25%. I'm talking about the loading screen itself, i sometimes get 100% during loading screen, so your case might be related to CPU.
It's not necessary to install OS on your SSD, but your OS would work a lot faster if it was installed there.
FYI, try to keep 20-30% of your SSD free for longevity. The fuller they are for prolonged periods of time, the faster they die.

Update: tried what the video says and it maybe helped a tiny bit. Not Much difference. Anyway, I have OC my GPU a bit and it did help. I'm content with the performance. The only thing that bothers me is the delay in arena when the match starts, it loads 1sec later even if I turn down graphics all the way to lowest. Would getting a SSD solve this issue?
It most probably will, but it isn't guaranteed. It only will only help if the issue is caused due to slow read speed from hdd. If it's a different cause... For example, it could also be CPU, i have even seen my 8700k spike to 100% usage during BnS loading screen, that's the only time i have seen my CPU at 100% (except for stress test).
@Racingwind
You no grandpa of mine! The video helped considerably, at Mushins Tower and Jadestone Village i sometimes drop to low 50s for short moments, but mostly it's above 60 in those areas. GPU usage 45-55%, vram usage a bit bellow 2 gB at max settings 1440p. So 3 gB of vram isn't limiting BnS, i was wrong about that.
But my estimation stands. 1070 is enough to max BnS at 1440p (as long as the other hardware parts are appropriate) and play at the same fps as 2080 ti. Reason being that if you google 1070 vs 2080 ti, you will see that 2080 ti is only ~100% faster than 1070. So, while the math is rather ruf, the general point is that 1070 at 100% = 2080 ti at 50%.
The necessity of 1080ti/2080 to play BnS at max settings on 1440p is BS.
P.S
Can provide screens with my gpu usage, if necessary.

Wow, thank you all so much for your help!
I will try doing what the video linked here says and tell you my results.
I kinda got mixed opinions though, I am looking to inprove my specs but now I'm not sure of I should get a better GPU, SSD,CPU or more RAM. I can't get them all ?
What would have the most impact on performance?
CPU+GPU would give you the most gain. SSDs only impact your loading times, not your fps.
But make sure you get an adequate CPU cooler, else you will have a bad time :)

To give some feedback to OP.
Your upgrade paths are rather tricky.
The expensive ways:
Get a current-ish gen CPU with ~4 GHz, but in that case you also have to change your motherboard and RAM.
But going this way, you should pretty much consider a new PC.
Cheep way, but somewhat bothersome way:
Your motherboard should support 2nd and 3rd gen i3/i5/i7 CPUs (but make sure your bios is updated), so scourge your available resources for used i7-2700k/i7-3770k (while i doubt you have a OC motherboard, the K CPUs have a little higher base frequency, it should help a bit over the non-K versions).
You shouldn't have to change RAM.
GPU wise, as long as you play in 1080p, i would recommend upgrading to at least 1060 6gB.
The market should still be flooded with used 1060 cards from the crypto mining craze, so you should be able to find used one cheaply.
RAM wise, you should be okay with 8 gB of ram. 16 gB is recommended new days, but 8 gB is bearable.

Actually, I just realized that we didn't define what resolution we're talking about, because that's important! 1080p res, 1070 ti should get decent frames, around 65 or so, depending on your cpu. To get higher than that in raids will need 1080 ti (no point for a 1080 cuz 1070 ti OC is about that grade). 1080p is probably what you are thinking of. I on the other hand, forgot that I run 1440p monitor, so my requirements on gpu will be higher, doh!
Mine is also 1440p :)
But yeah, leaving resolution out of the conversation was unprofessional from both of our sides. It's a major factor in gaming performance.

The gpu can get pegged when you've properly configured it like the video that was linked. And when I said people are playing on high / ultra with over 60 fps, I mean exactly that. I don't mean they lower their settings, they have everything maxed, it's possible, you need to configure things properly though, and hardware wise needs to have everything lined up properly in terms of cpu / gpu combination.
Will try the link after work. And if the GPU usage will get anywhere close to 100%, i'll apologise for calling BS on your statement and call you even my grandpa!
Aside from that, judging from my own experience, GPU wise you should be able to max out BnS with 1070, worst case 1080. 1060 should do very well, in your case the problem should 3 gB of vram, the 6 gB vram version does a lot better in games.
My only beef was 1080 ti/2080 for high/ultra. I see no issue with the rest of your statements.

The link is much appreciated, thank you very much!
-
That you need 1080 ti or 2080 to play on ultra.
As i stated, BnS uses max 50% of my gpu, i'm pretty sure it doesn't have 100% gpu usage on 1080 ti or 2080.
I'm well aware that you can get better fps, you just have to play around with settings till you get satisfactory fps in raids and heavily populated areas. But that is no longer Ultra/max settings.

I have a gtx 1060 3gb and it's pegged out when the graphics setting at medium at 30 fps in raids. You need not just a beast of a cpu, you also need something like a gtx 1080 ti or a rtx 2080 for high / ultra.
BS.
I7-8700k
2080 ti
32 gB ram
Win 10 64 bit
SSDs only.
On max settings GPU usage max 50%. In raids and heavily populated areas fps 20-40. BnS has pis poor optimization and your hardware won't change that.
You can improve your performance but there is a limit to it as the game simply doesn't even bother to fully utilize the resources available.

@OP
You can try bnsbudy, it seems to have a fix loading screen issues option, it might help you without any purchases.
@Racingwind
Tried bnsbuddy, now i get 70-90 in heavily populated areas, haven't tried raids atm. But the GPU usage jumps from 45% to 70%, so it also rises the bar of resource limit used by BnS. With the options provided by @Fiana (much appreciated), 1070ti/1080 should be enough to max BnS at 1440p an have a smooth fps (still have to check raids).
Updated:
Haha, no, there were just too few ppl online. 30-40 fps in Mushins Tower when there are a lot of ppl. and gpu usage stays at 45% there. Might be really RTX related.
Same in MSP.
