Bottlenecks

There shouldn't be any real bottleneck in the fps. Do you have the latest drivers installed? They can make a big difference. Also, make sure that you're not running off of integrated graphics.

Don't be fooled by the bottom line of my sig, that is just for my travels.

So you're telling me that Gaben is no God? Enough of your foolishness.

My hardware you ask? I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3217 Notebook... With an LG 25UM57.

as far as bottleneck no your CPU will not bottleneck your graphics card. The only time you would see a drop in FPS is when it would be a CPU intensive game, but that doesnt have anything to do with your graphics card.

No, cos THAT is a CPU bottleneck (Even if its a split second) (Usually given by software not using all cores, and the ones that can be used, are too slow for maximum performance EXPECTED)

 

The definition you gave, IS a bottlenecked situation, regardless of the length of time it took.

If Vsync is off, and NO frame limiters are enabled, the GPU usage should almost always be at 95-100% usage at all times, in ANY game (if no limiters in place)

When its not, its poor coding, or poor IPC, usually a combination of both.

It doesn't need to be a CPU intensive game, MANY non-AAA titles, only use 2 threads, this is usually a worst case scenario, but its common enough with how many games are actually available these days... DX12 should help (once devs learn how to) but it wont help DX11 at all.

 

 

 

I've purchased a few components, I just wondered would my FX-8320 Bottleneck my r9 380? I seem to be getting low fps for some reason. 

Explain the low-fps situations...

 

OP - Monitor GPU usage while your playing, if its drops, the cores/threads in use, by your CPU, are not strong enough for the limited threads the game is using.

True multicore games will suffer a lot less, but true multicore games are not a standard, sadly.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
