Bottlenecking Question

Go to solution Solved by Jurrunio,

in terms of frame rates, not much bottleneck here. Both 73000HQ and 1050ti are budget gaming parts with decent, but unexceptional 1080p gaming capabilities.

 

HDD can slow down game loading times compared to an SSD, but I've been doing that ever since I got into PC gaming and it honestly doesnt matter in single player games.

Hi, I was just wondering if there might be any severe bottlenecking in my gaming rig that might influence my gaming performance, running at 1080p, and what recommendations you might have in order to attempt to limit it, if there were to be any issues.

 

Specs:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit Home

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB VRAM
CPU: Intel Core i5 7300HQ @ 2.5GHz

Memory: Ramaxel RMSA3260MH78HAF-2666 1x8GB

Drive: Seagate ST1000LM035-1RK172 1TB HDD

Yeah that hard drive is going to be really slow and annoying.

Can you afford an SSD?

If this is a laptop, there's nothing you can do to improve in-game performance. You can update the storage to an SSD, but that'll just decrease load times. It may help with open-world games but outside of that, it won't do much for actual performance.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Also in response to your query on whether it was a laptop or not, it is, indeed, a Lenovo y520 laptop. Thank you for the explanation.
