“Thermals are a silent bottleneck”

Not sure about that Linus, my laptop lets me know about that one pretty loud and clear!

[ATRMadcatz]

I love that all Linus has to do is take his hat off and he immediately looks like some crazy conspiracy theorist

[therandomguy]

One way to avoid cpu bottlenecks is simply use a higher resolution or higher graphics settings. Just induce more load on the GPU so that the game is GPU bound. Might as well take the advantage of higher visuals, eventhough the fps doesn't change.

Hey man, loved the video. I'd love to see an even more in depth one on the subject and updated to 2021. When I say in depth I mean going into types/quality/age of motherboards, RAM configurations and more. And yes, even power supply :)

"Your Gaming PC Has A Bottleneck"

Yeah, my wallet

[HoodieGhoulGaming]

Linus: Your PC has a bottleneck
Me: *stares at empty gpu slot*

[seiyorah]

I would love for you to do a video on bottlenecks that are common yet often overlooked. Example: Data transfer speeds of hard drives, RAM speeds, etc. and which ones are the most beneficial to look out for.

I have an ancient Intel 3770K (4.4ghz OC) with 16GB DDR3-2166 and I upgraded from a 1050 Ti 4GB to a 6650 XT 8GB and went from 60-ish fps in Planetside 2 and 50-60 fps in 7 Days to Die to 80-100 fps depending where I am looking in the game and the action at the time. Both games are set to ultra graphics settings. So even an ancient quad-core can still game well with a decent modern graphics card.

"cs go is a game"

this is the groundbreaking info i came here for

"Your PC has a bottleneck"
Me: Of course I know him, it's me.

[Swampee]

The look at this graph was such a good throwback. I remember watching that for 20 minutes straight laughing non stop with my friend

[papstick]

Awesome video as always, I'm still using a PC power and cooling psu from 10 years ago and it's still going strong.

[RizkyBambangWiratmoko]

you forget the most severe bottleneck that we have:

WALLET.

[Verpal]

Linus: One thing you probably don't need to upgrade is your power supply.

Seasonic: >_<

[powerpc]

It also depends alot on the type of game you're playing. Some games are CPU bound, others are GPU bound. Playing X4: Foundations or Satisfactory with an already good gfx card and a good CPU, upgrading the gfx card to get more fps during endgame won't do you any good as those games are CPU bound. On the other hand, most shooter type games are usually GPU bound as they don't need massive calculations in the background like building type games do but they have usually better graphics.

Man this guy so damn smooth with his sponsor stuff. Not even feeling like skipping those parts. I think this is the only channel that I don't skip the sponsor part.

[zacharyrose]

The beginning really makes Linus look more homeless

[Nostalgia_Realm]

The intro being 24 FPS as opposed to 30 is a bottleneck too, was that on purpose? 😂

[smokingpenut]

This could be the best video of this channel as i was thinking upgrading my CPU would improve my rig, but now i know i don't need to
Thank you
