Hey, your setup seems solid for smooth gameplay at 1080p. The current configuration should handle the demands of Escape From Tarkov well enough. The performance hiccups you're feeling might be due to other factors like drivers, background processes, or even thermal throttling from the GPU. Upgrading the motherboard could help, but it’s not a guarantee. If you go with an older model, you’ll likely face more issues down the line. Consider testing the new ASUS PRIME H310M-R and see if it improves things. A full PC refresh in six months is a reasonable plan unless you notice significant drops.
It's understandable, I wasn't aware of that and it's certainly acceptable.
the chipset also imposes constraints... fewer capabilities, restricted data transfer with the processor (meaning if your setup includes usb ports, m.2 solid states, and pci-e components like capture cards all active simultaneously, you might encounter performance problems due to limited bandwidth)
