Whats your bottleneck ?

[LOST TALE]

I'm suspecting my ram of bottlenecking me in BF4.

Storage , atm using a laptop with a 640GB Hdd as primary Drive , it sucks :'(

[Stonep11]

1. Internet speed

2. Gigabit ethernet speed

Oh internet speeds. Didnt think of that one, but a good point, definitely my bottleneck there. I will go down from biggest bottleneck to smallest.

1. GPU especially because I game at 1600p my 680 is really being pushed to her limits.

2. My storage since I only game I only got a 250gb Intel 335 not the fastest and I only have 21gbs free...

3. CPU the 3770k is by no means bad, but it could be better

4. Memory 2133mhz of CAS 9 Dominator GT is not weak but i obly have 2 4gb dimms

5. My display Dell Ultrasharp u3011 is IMO the best 30" IPS available, but having more would be a cool experience or a higher refresh rate display.

6. PSU 1000w is pretty much all I could need, fully fully sleeved, modular, nice red led fan, quiet, I love the OCZ Fatal3ty shame they are in rough waters

7. Keyboard/mouse Tesero Durundal brown switches and steel series sensei. These hold nothing back and until rgb cherry switches are out I would never co sided an upgrade

8. Audio. This one is so low because I do not know of a better pair of headphones for gaming than the AD700x. I run a ThunderFX external DAC/AMP and beyerdynamic custom one pros for music.

10. Mobo. The maximus 5 formula is as good as it gets for z77 IMO. Everything I could ever use and more.

11. Case. My HAF-X may not look good to some but it has room for anything and cooling like you would not believe. I get cold sitting near it.

I think thats it and i hope this doesn't sound too much like a "first world problems" post.

storage and monitor

[RatedBlam]

Hard drives and no ssd, headset and a crappy TN monitor. And off my PC could be higher end all in all

[voaz]

CPU and Ram ( phenom ii 955 BE @ 3.2Gh and 4GB Corsair 1333mhz with a GTX 660 SC, 840 Evo SSD and a 1TB HDD ).

Planning on a new case, mobo, cpu, ram and cpu cooler sometime next year.

[Magnumenforce]

EVERYTHING!

In short Ihave a cheap Acer laptop, but a real gamer rig coming in soon(when I have the money for it)

The laptop's specs is in signature.

The upcoming rig should have the following:

Intel core I5 4670K

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H

Kingston HyperX 8GB

Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB "OC Dual-X"

Samsung 840pro 128

Seagate 1TB Barracuda

XFX Proseries XXX 750watts

Antec LanBoy Air Blue

Windows 7 HP

So I should not get a bottleneck from day1

[mc141]

My wallet.

damnit u beat me to it lol

[ccaian]

None. I finally completed my rig with my new 780ti. Woohoo now I can spend money on useless shit like gundam models and keyboards.

[miyabwah]

E5300 locked @ 2.6 GHz with a 7750... Also, as posted before, my wallet.

[IDprofile]

GPU mem only 1GB at 5760x1080

If you have a halfway decent CPU made in the last few years, chances are the only bottleneck has to do with your GPU, whether it be your card, or RAM, in the case of an APU. My bottleneck, by the way, is my graphics card, thinking about grabbing another 7970 for XFire, though I really don't need it yet

Technically your graphics card is still a bottleneck, remember, a bottleneck is, strictly speaking, anything that can be upgraded and give you better performance

[MPX309]

CPU, I dunno I have a pretty well rounded system, but CPU atm doesn't take advantage of mobo options

If I get an unlocked CPU I'd have to get a H100i, if I got a H100i I'd have to get a new case.

Arrgh

 

Could get a new GPU would also need a new PSU

[FireFox]

Mine is my WD Caviar Blue but to be honest it isn't too bad.

[IronSoldier]

Only have a 64gb SSD. As a result AE sometimes crashes and Start up isn't great.

[Shrubpig]

Probably my HDD... I don't think I have anything that's bottlenecking

[CwGoh]

My i5 3450 seems to be doing okay with my 7950 and will be alright with my future R9 290. But I'll probably upgrade my CPU next.

[MangoJuiceStain]

EVERYTHING! I have a GTX 460, a 1TB Hard drive (no ssd), 4GB of DDR2 ram, an intel core to quad, and a 1600x900 Dell monitor.

[cjeffcoatjr]

My 1440x900 monitor, whereas I can handle 1080p flawlessly

[Oshino Shinobu]

I'm not entirely sure what my bottleneck is, I have a pretty well rounded system. If I had to pick one, it would be my GPU, it's still not quite strong enough to run 5760x1080 at max with all games. 

[xBozurK]

My Intel Core i7 2700k CPU (Sandy Bridge)
With a EVGA GTX 680 Superclocked GPU.

[TetraSky]

Motherboard is the biggest bottleneck in my system. I cannot get Sata 3 speed on my SSD.

That is a good CPU, I can't see you having any issues with those GPU's.
