I would say so, i recently upgraded from 8GB to 16GB and most my games got quite a good increase in performance. Specifically things like Star Citizen, Witcher 3, Total War Atilla, etc. 16GB is definitely becoming the standard now and i would grab some if your keen :). That said, it may not necessarily be the cause of your FPS drops. Hope this helps :)
