Bottleneck software

[HOOTSMON]

Is there some software that can tell you what is the bottleneck, if there is one?

 

cheers

No, you spot bottlenecks by comparing the usage of your hardware on the application.

 

I'm guessing you mean gaming? the i7 6700K at 4.6ghz will only marginally hold back the 1080 Ti on very specific CPU demanding titles. That is, if you're not trying to go crazy on multi-tasking while gaming.

 

Check your GPU usage it should be at 99% if you don't have a frame capper of some sort in place, if it isn't you're being bottlenecked by CPU/Memory likely.

Are you asking because you are lacking some performance and don't know why, or are you asking because you just "don't want to have a bottleneck?" Because if the reason is simply get rid of a bottleneck you don't even know exists yet, there's no cause for the witch Hunt.

There is no simple solution for bottleneck. Regardless if it you want to neutralise it, detect it or create it.
Software is made to do stuff in many different ways, using different things at the same time.
You can create bottleneck whereever and whenever you want - it simply depends on how code is made and what it does at this point in time.

In short : No universal solution. 
Just check what is used most in Your case, and think if changing that will net you any profit (since environment is also important here).

No.

 

Most software isn't multi-threaded, or at least not in a way that could take advantage of all system cores, memory bandwidth, or GPU cores. Games in particular target the most-common configuration (that being the PS4/Xbox One profile) , so if you have hardware that exceeds that of a PS4, then unless the game has extra tunables to take advantage of it, even a PC version of a PS4 game will likely run at the performance of the PS4 game, especially if the game is multiplayer.

 

If you run a program like Process Lasso, you can have it throttle software that you don't want taking CPU time away from more important software, or prioritize certain software over others. That's about the extent that you can tune that without just uninstalling all software but the one program you need at a time.

thanks!

I fired up Aida64 Engineer that a mate has given me and AC Odyssey is maxing out the CPU reading 100% at times in built up areas then i get stutter and fluctuating frames. One last question if i may, in the AC Odyssey graphics settings its saying how much vram im using and it starts going red but im only half using up the vram at about 5-6 GB, quite sure my GPU has 11GB. Could it be factoring in the CPU being the limiting factor?
