Yes, Your Gaming PC Has a Bottleneck

[XxEmulatingKing]

This is why you do research before buying PC parts

[TheCoLDKanadian]

The general rule is that it's better to be bottlenecked by your GPU than your CPU, since most gamers will upgrade their GPU more often than their CPU.

What he's trying to say is don't mix minimum wage parts with high-end parts.

[camronrubin]

Sometimes a bottlenecked upgrade is your best price to performance option. A 10-20% bottleneck is no big deal especially if your new graphics card only costs a few hundred bucks and doubles your frame rate.

I purchased the GPU for my PC during the height of the GPU scarcity. My current PC is a Ryzen 5 5600G (I really like the Integrated Graphics backup) and the GTX 980 TI Windfoce. The pairing has worked really well for me so far!

Bottleneck is just an never ending topics, the main problem lies within that each program (including game) tuned differently, there's some that more cpu intensive, or need some "vendor specific" features to run more efficiently (like cuda), etc. the secret of avoiding bottleneck is being satisfied and happy with what you already got.

Thanks man, I've researched so much before slowly building my current pc to keep it budgetted and balanced. Currently running with a 0.0% bottleneck according to pc-builds!

Remember that there is a site that tells you what components can bottleneck your other components

[Calm_Mentor]

The thing with pc builders is..



We are not infinitely rich, and cannot take pc parts out of thin air, tbh it doesn’t matter to me if my gpu bottlenecks my cpu, as long as I don’t bottleneck my gpu, because gpu’s are so much more expensive

Running a 13400f and a 4080 super! What now guys what now! Haha

[EthanolEnthusiast]

Everything is a bottleneck, there's no such thing as "infinite performance".

[daveandjoie]

I am building a computer with a RTX 4070 and a ryzen seven 5700X is that a bottleneck

[MonkeyDMotaz]

A bottleneck from the GPU side is good than when it comes from the CPU side 👍

[Riyozsu]

Imagine a pc without any bottleneck, the performance would skyrocket out of this world because none of the components are limiting anything else.

[fturla___]

For old computers, the number of potential bottleneck situations can be so many that any improvement or replacement of any one part will not affect performance towards the upside. For small business and low budget builds, a main problem is the power supply which usually cannot provide adequate additional power, and the lack of power cables to connect to GPU hardware that demand the extra cables.

[KiritoKirigaya]

There is another thing to watch too, it is the amount of fps. Some cpus are bottlenecking 4000 series gpu by 10~25%, yet it will gives over 100 fps. Although, that can be negated a bit by using the hardware gpu scheduling.

[robertdemare]

I feel called out with my ryzen 3 3200g paired with radeon 6500xt

[Mc_Astral]

would i be in a pc bottleneck with a RTX 3080 and a R7 5800X3D?

[ardyaprilianta]

well let's say my wallet is the biggest bottleneck...

[jodysin]

I have a 9900k and a evga ftw3 3090. 32gb ram.
Luckily the cpu/gpu are a readlly good pair and essentially bottleneck eachother.
My real bottleneck lately is with storage. 2.5 tb is no longer enough.
