Should I disable it? Its taking almost 32GB of my SSD. Should I move it to HDD? or nerf/make it smaller?..

Also, would it be possible that a pagefile be the reason behind some FPS drops? like slower rendering; lowering my GPU's capabilities?

Just want to know if I should disable, make it smaller, move to HDD, and maybe quick steps on how to do so?

Can be good to keep a small 1-2Gb pagefile for system dump log files and some programs uses the page file regardless of RAM amount.

I've heard, but not seen it, that some applications may balk at having no pagefile.
I have 16GB RAM, and pagefile at 1GB. Have seen zero performance hit.

True having a small pagefile will help if you want to analyze your crash dumps. I have 16GB and tried using a small page file then eventually just eliminated my pagefile. So far I haven't run into any problems with my applications but it is a possibility.

Good luck!
