Testing various configurations reveals a drop in performance when lowering settings. Reducing resolution from 2160 to 1440 still provides decent frame rates with ray tracing enabled, but disabling it causes lag. Moving between high and medium settings leads to noticeable frame rate drops. Restoring to high settings and re-enabling ray tracing improves performance. Your ASRock B550m features a Steel Legend graphics card with strong specs, paired with a 32GB RAM, 3200MHz CPU, and NVMe SSDs. The system runs Windows 10 on a non-UFE BIOS, which causes random stuttering. Upgrading to Windows 11 might resolve the UEFI boot issue and allow the resizable bar feature.

To enable REBAR you’d need to erase the entire drive and perform a new installation with UEFI enabled in the BIOS. Keeping legacy settings would keep them active. Using HDDs for running games is risky—switch to an SSD instead.

I’ll reinstall Windows then. Unfortunately, I’m on a tight budget. SSDs aren’t within my budget right now. I intend to get a 4TB NVMe drive later this year if prices don’t rise too much due to tariffs. Most of my funds are currently going into an automotive project.

Invest $50 for a single TB SSD drive to enjoy your favorite games. Focus mainly on a complete Windows reinstall—don’t stop at upgrading from Win10.
