I'm exhausted from using this laptop I purchased. It only reaches about 75 fps at most, with noticeable lag spikes.
It can be upgraded for modding, so here are some suggestions for replacements!
I was advised to add more RAM would help; it currently has only 8GB, so how much would that improve performance?
Alternatively, I could upgrade to a full PC, and if you'd like, I can recommend a good budget option. Maybe building one would be a good idea?
Here are the details:
Model: ASUS TUF Gaming F15
OS: Windows 10 Home (latest version)
64-bit system
CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H (2.7 GHz, 6 cores)
Motherboard: FX506HF 1.0
Regarding GPUs, the device manager shows:
- Intel UHD Graphics
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
Feel free to mention anything else if it would be useful!

What is your highest spending limit? Unless you really require mobility, tablets aren't the best choice for gaming. A desktop computer offers better value and makes it simpler to upgrade parts later.

Definitely add memory. Another 8GB should work just fine and gain you a lot of minimum FPS and reduce stuttering if you are running a single channel config now.
But the GPU and CPU are not replaceable.
CPU is still decent though. Just an entry level GPU.
