The only real bottleneck is the wallet bottleneck

[BLamb]

I literally made a comment specifically requesting a video that goes into detail about bottlenecking a few months ago, and this man just decides to completely kill it and deliver on that request. Thank you, Marcus! 😎

[PokéBandits]

“How to fix it” was a complete click bait

[GrayLloyd]

A cool video would be pairing recommended CPUs with each GPU in the current generation - a full listing like this might help people in what to buy for their system

[JatwonBurkes]

Yessss I just caught on LoL. At 4:50 you said "game crashes" then it went to an ad, then you said "you see what I did there." I like it... that smooth as hell 🤣🤣👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾✅✅✅✅

[Byrthor]

I'm shocked that someone finally used Cities Skylines to demonstrate bottlenecks. I would love to see it and other simulation games used in benchmarks more. There's a sneaky one out there, Football Manager, that no one uses but the community every year setups up benchmark discussions on the forums so people will know how it runs on certain hardware

[DisciplesHyper]

Dude that intro is so hilarious! Love ya PC Centric! You helped me build my first pc!

[Rizzlas]

8:45 If you play Valorant, I recommend using an other tool than Riva Tuner Statistic (Benchmark tool embedded with Msi Afterburner), it can create unexpected crashes in the game (i suspect the anti cheat borderline malware Riot is using).
I recommend using Frameview instead or the stats in game for Valorant (via graphic settings -> Tab "Stats")

What’s my bottleneck you ask? Credit limit.

[rathehitmaker]

I wish we could go back to the days of regular and concise tutorials

[mikedub]

I've learned so much from this channel. Once I get the money I going to try to get into the PC business myself

Literally needed this video last night because of the 1000th mw2 update🤦‍♂️😂 great timing 🙌

The makers of Windows gave us Xbox for a reason - because I believe how the OS evolved over the years is at the core of most of these complications, and they saw this coming. Things recently went so complicated with optimization that I often worry until they expand Windows with a dedicated gaming version, there will be no such thing as gaming PC in the near future.

R5 1600x with a 6600 xt, managed to alleviate my cpu bottleneck a fair bit recently after getting an nvme and the b450 motherboard which actually allows me to overclock my cpu. I have seen some massive fps increases already.

[FearfulEntertainment]

Dude, why are you playing my synth playlist in the background?!?!?! lol

[dirtydog]

My biggest bottleneck is my bank balance

[JahonCross]

your intros make my day even better xD

[BREEZYM]

One solution is to stop gaming on PC. The other is to stop using bottles hence no more bottlenecking. 😂

[SpitfireSpud]

I am hoping that I am good with my build after watching this.😮 I built a PC over the Christmas Hols: Ryzen 9 7950x with a RTX 4090, NVME Western Digital Black SN850X 4TB, 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6200Mhz

"Your PC has a bottleneck!!" - Yep, my wallet
