My MSI A520M is causing huge loading stutters when switching maps in Stalker 2; can I fix this with priority settings?

Trying to run Stalker 2 on an A520 entry-level board is like trying to pull a freight trailer with a bicycle—it's almost laughable. The bus bandwidth on the MSI A520M-A PRO just couldn't keep up with the massive asset requests, with response times spiking to 80-110ms, often leaving me staring at a black screen. I tried the 'genius' move of installing the game on a RAM disk, but I ran out of memory halfway through and the whole thing crashed. That taught me I needed to focus on disk scheduling instead. I manually expanded the virtual memory (page file) to 32GB and moved it to the fastest partition of my NVMe SSD. In HWiNFO, the memory commit grew from 12GB to about 24-28GB, and those agonizing load stutters mostly disappeared. I did have a weird issue where the drive would momentarily disconnect during idle, but locking the PCIe mode to Gen3 fixed it. CPU temps are steady at 65-72°C. I exported all the read/write logs, and the fans are staying consistent at 1400-1600 RPM.
