Is Bottlenecking bad?

[smokebud420yoblazeitupyo]

Hello, I'm new to PC gaming. I'm currently using a i5 4570 and a GTX 1050 Ti. A friend is giving me a i5 4590, but I was using a online bottleneck calculator and it said it had a bottleneck of 23.7%, whereas my 4570 is 23.5%. Is this bad? I'm not trying to get super high graphics or anything; I normally play my games on low to medium settings (Spider-Man, Fifa 23, Csgo). Sorry for the noob question

My parts
i5 4570
GTX 1050ti
16 gb of ram
My monitor is a hp 2210 with a refresh rate of 60 Hz

Your CPU is going to have higher performance. It just won't likely result in higher FPS in some games.

idk what online calculator is giving you that result. It is pulling a number straight out of its asshole. 

For the title question, is bottlnecking bad... its unavoidable, something is always bottlnecking, its about how you balance it in a system. 

For your question in the body, you are gonig to gain all of 100mhz. you really wont notice it a change if you are happy with the performance you have now. you might get an average of 3-5fps more in CSGO. Your new cpu will be all of 3% faster. But hey, if its a free 3% boost, its a free 3% boost.

If you're referring to the pc-builds.com Bottleneck calculator, I'd take that with a grain of salt as I've gotten some odd results on perfectly fine cpu/gpu combinations. I'm not sure if many here would recommend it either. The i5 4590 would give a small increase in performance over the 4570 but I doubt you'll notice anything at low to medium settings.

"Bottleneck calculators" are pretty arbitrary and largely meaningless.

 

In an ideal system, you want both your CPU and GPU to be capable of reaching 100% usage at the same time, as this means neither component is holding back or waiting for the other.

 

You shouldn't have any issues with either CPU.

What mobo? If you got a non h81 board think you can bclk overclock to 105-108 depending on cpu sample and you can also turbo unlock with a bios mod to lock all cores to max turbo multi so 3.7g on allcores or 3.88g (105bclk) - 3.99g (108bclk) allcores
