bottleneck?

amd phenom ii x6 1055t 2.8ghz

gtx 760

6gb ram

 

 

does my cpu bottleneck me in games like bf4

It most likely doesn't bottleneck your GPU. There is no game bottlenecking.

[Phllips]

easy way to tell is to check your cpu usage during gaming the lower the less it is bottlenecking. well atleast thats what ive been told

[Geekazoid]

Oh! You meant the other type of bottleneck. My bad.

People told me it's the other way round, that if the GPU isn't at 100% the CPU bottlenecks it.

if the GPU is at 100% the GPU is the bottleneck.

 

there is always a bottleneck in a system.

[Sauron]

Not enough to justify an upgrade either way.

What i mean is, when im playing BF4 i get same fps while im playing at high or ultra(minimum 40-45) cpu usage while playing 80-90% I dont recall the gpu usage

 

but in the Metro Last Light, gpu usage is fixed at 44%(fps 50-60)

there you have it

 

the CPU is limiting your GPU

You want your GPU to be at 100% usage cause that means you are utilizing it's full potential if it's below 100% you aren't getting the full potential I guess an Ideal situation would be to have both CPU and Video card at 100% but then again you don't want that either because you want to be able to run stuff in the background
