Bottleneck Software

[Anay]

Greeting. How do you calculate or identify whether there is a bottleneck or not? A Bottleneck Software maybe?

[Oshino Shinobu]

There can be no universal bottleneck software. Different loads stress and use the system in different ways. The CPU may be a bottleneck in some programs and the RAM in another.

i mainly just look at CPU usage and when its Really Really high like 80's to 90's then that could be a bottleneck sign

Every device on earth has a bottleneck.  There is always that 1 part that is holding something else back.  There's no unlimited performance in anything so by definition, a bottleneck exists in everything.

Oh. This is helpful. Thanks.

I have an ancient ones. Anyway, I own Intel Core I3 2350M @2.30GHz and AMD Radeon 6600M 1GB.

Id Sat you May have a GPU Bottle neck not a CPU

How to determine RAM bottleneck?

No idea

Are you running out of RAM when running a program? (you'll notice, the system will slow to a crawl. You can also check in WIndows task manager for RAM usage) then you need to add more RAM.

Good. Thanks for the tips.

Laptop?

 

Anyway, any stress test or benchmark software. Look at usage graphs. If some component isn't being used at full potential or something is maxed out, that is bottleneck. But like said before, there's always some. So rather than finding which, start thinking which component you feel like could be faster.

Thank a lot. I have downloaded a benchmark software called PCMark from Futuremark.

That might not be best if you are looking for performance in games or heavier software. 3DMark is better for those.

OK. 3DMark on the go.
