Your motherboard makes no difference in performance.

The biggest issue I see is your CPU, the first gen Ryznes were somewhat lacking on single core performance and in gaming that makes for lower performance. You also have slower speed RAM and with Ryzen it can account for a 5-15% loss of performance compared to 3200mhz or faster RAM

As far as running on higher settings yes you can, however if you are on say 1080P your top end framerate might be lower then other systems due to the issue I pointed out. If you are on 1440P then the framerate issue will be lessened but still present.

If I were you I would look at upgrading your RAM to a faster dual channel kit, and perhaps a new CPU like the Ryzen 3600. If you do get a new CPU you will need to update your motherboard BIOS to version F40 with your 1500X still installed.

Ok but before i asked this question i thinked off upgrade bios get ryzen 5 2600 and buy 2x8gb 2666mhz but ok

2666mhz RAM would not be worth the purchase, get 3200mhz or faster RAM or keep what you have. And if you do want a new budget friendly CPU look at the Ryzen 1600 AF, which essentially a few percent slower Ryzen 2600 rebrand, but at $85 is the best budget CPU available.

Yeah i know its very cheap but isnt 3.2ghz slow?

Heres a very thorough breakdown of performance of the CPU

it's not actually called a 1600 af, i guess that's just the name others have given it? On Amazon it'll just be 1600, and it will be 85 dollars instead of however much a normal 1600 is, the only difference between the two that I can tell is one is the af is 12 nm instead of 14 nm
