Biggest Bottleneck youve seen/created/imagined

[agent_x007]

Celeron D 346 + GTX 780 Ti (and I was the one using it )
Proof : LINK.

Could do Titan XP + Celeron D if someone would send me that card  (I live in PL) 

PS. For oldest CPU architecture + new GPU, I tested that GTX 780 Ti (28nm) with Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3,46GHz (130nm) :

Man, I would lol but my best and only pcie gpu is my 1050ti (aside from a dead xfx gt 9600 and the dual monitor radeon i put in my parents pc)

For a short period of time, and I mean only a couple days, I was running a gts8800 with my watercooled, overclocked 4790K.

Then I ran that same 4790k system with a R9 270X (Which honestly didn't affect me that much since Arma 2 was the main game I was playing at the time, and it was still being cpu bottlenecked.) for about 6 months before upgrading finally to an R9 Fury X, and from there to the dual 390's as I've got now.

I honetly want to see a titan x (non pascal) and a pentium 4 tbh. this guy on youtube has a really cool pentium 4 672 machine that runs doom at 30fps. ill link the vid:

 

It's so crazy the stuff hes put into this build.

Are your 390's water-cooled or air cooled?

Air cooled. 

The g1 doesn't have any supported water blocks, because gigabrick decided it would be better to make a custom pcb, then skimp out on vrm quality and change the pcb layout heavily.

Don't buy Gigabytes AMD cards. They're garbage. Just... across the board avoid them at all costs. I had to replace a fan on each of these cards because after only a couple months they both failed outright.

130nm? holy hell thats big. i didont know cpus had that big of a dye until now.

Consoles and 4K...

*cough ps4 pro*

*cough slighty bumped up cpu and gpu clocks*

*cough slightly higher memory bandwith*

*cough not worth it just get a ps4 or ps4 slim if your gonna get ps4*

If there was Tetris available for the Playstation, they could have at least one game running at 4K/60.

Or knowing devs, upscale it instead of making it native 4k lol

Finally another that likes watching Pentium 4s and radeon 7950s paired together to play fallout 4!

A few years ago I had a c2q q6600 and a 9800gt. I slowly started upgrading parts one at a time (I'm broke lmao.) For a few months I had a FX 8320 and 9800gt.. YEAH. The reason I upgraded the CPU and RAM before the GPU was I needed more room for minecraft servers, I hosted a few back then. But yeah, for a brief moment there I owned the worst gaming PC EVER.

[Aereto_Compuru]

My newly built PC has 32 GB of RAM, designed to handle production/workstation-grade memory capacity. Though the only bottleneck I could draw conclusions from is the i7 6700 (if dealing with multi-threading programs all the time), and likely not the rx 480 with 8GB (planned to be paired with WX 5100 on PCIe 3 x4 speed in the sale-bound future for production periods).
 

Storage is no problem due to have a pre-planned allocation tiering with NVMe M.2s, SATA SSDs, and RAID 1 HDD pair totaling near 4 TB.

 

My current laptop, on the other hand... older generation i5 3230M, 4GB RAM, and 500 GB HGST HDD. I can give it a good 8 GB and 1 TB SSD for a $300 (or 500 GB and data trimming for cost reduction) to extend its life, but its graphics will always be the one bottleneck unless I replace the laptop. Could have the option to just virtualize my more demanding games via my desktop and play remotely at home or farther out, but that'll burn some home electricity, either way.

Ah man, I love old hardware. And I love new hardware, but theres something about fixing up an old pc with some newer parts thats satisfying. Tinkering with old hardware is fun too.

I run a resonable quad q9650 with a 1050ti. Kinda regret it though, but it performs pretty good for its age (aside from gta 5, my pc has texture pop-ins and stutter up the ying yang and ive seen a q6600 with a 1050ti run it better)
