bottleneck

good way to check for bottleneck?

[Guest]

In games or doing a task see if your GPU or CPU is at 100%. Whichever is higher is the bottlneck

you can also decide whether a bottleneck even matters or not. for super cheap gaming PCs, or when you are getting your intended performance target, there is no purpose in "hunting down" a bottleneck, so to speak.

Honestly there are "bottleneck calculators" but those aren't that great. Just have an understanding of the parts and do a little youtubing. Also you can see when there's bottleneck with stuttering and lower than expected frames

if the performance is what you would expect out of it then thats good 

make sure your frame time is decent aswell

One method i use is to ask google:
"cpu for this graphics card"

or
"graphics card for this cpu"

i have an i5 3550 and a gtx 650 2gb

in csgo i get around 50-60% cpu and 100% gpu so the bottleneck is the gpu?

do you guys think that i have a bottleneck with an i5 3550 and a gtx 650 2gb?

A gpu bottleneck yes

It's so damn subjective.

You get near your GTX 650 2GB max performance with given CPU. Some call it a bottleneck.

this is the first case I mentioned

 

it literally doesn't matter, if this is the best combo you can afford. they are both super low end.

 

There is always, always, a weak point in a PC for a given task. You can't really ask "is there a bottleneck" because in the most basic terms, the answer is universally "yes."

no i just wanted to know in general since i am upgrading to a 10900k/10700k+2080 combo but my 2080 will be paired with my i5 3550 for a month and ido want to know if i will see an insane difference if fps since it is a 3rd gen old i5 with 4c/4t
