Great video 👌

what gpu would u recommend for an i9 12900k, i got it for a steal, but i have a 3060ti paired with it right now. i was thinking about the 4070, but im not sure if that would be a good match for the 12900k

i7 12 gen or i5 13 gen or gaming and abut of animating at 1440p? gpu 4070

Apparently on my rig the 8600K is a bottleneck for the old 1080TI

I watch your video alot. I'm new to pc n I bought a high end pc but I'm having gpu bottle neck at 99% in warzone. Watch many video to fix issue. Help please 🙏

My biggest bottleneck is my bank balance

I am not sure if i got this quite right, but you said that if your gpu is constantly at 97% utilization then it is a gpu bottleneck.
By any means i am no expert, but this is a good indicator to say that your cpu(most likely) or other components are limiting the utilization of your gpu by 3%..
meaning you get 3 % fps lower than you should with this particular gpu becasue(most likely assuming there is no fps cap limit) of the cpu. please do correct me if i am mistaken

Gpu bottlenecks are quite obvious most of the times, either by lower vram capacity than expected(you see vram almost maxed out)= very low fps, stutters or even crashes that usually occur on high resolutions with very high graphic settings for older cards

.Or simple quite low fps because the card isnt able to produce enough perfomance.(but this is not a bottleneck technically just a weak card for this game)
Typically all cards have limits but if the perfomance is unstable like mentioned then it is gpu hardware limitations or outdated software related to this,except if this does happen for only particular games which simply most likely are not optimized yet…

BUT____if your card is quite good, then maybe soemtimes you just dont have enough ram for a stable gaming experience.
I have had this issue twice in 1440p with 20gb vram and 16 gb ram and more specifically in forza 5 and fortnite, with full pimped settings, you may need even more than 16gb especially if u do like to multitask. personally i dont care, i ll either close any application running from behind or lower some settings..I just wanted to mention that

i do run 7900xt and 13500 and the gpu utilization for what i play is 100% at 1440p.
i think that if your gpu utilization for the games you play is around or more than 95%(atleast for gpu games oriented) your system is quite balanced and you shouldnt care much really.
100 % is ideal ofcourse, but saving some money for a better card it is always the better choice.

Most of the times a most powerfull card at 95% or even 90% utilization perfomance(meaning there is a 10% bottleneck by your cpu due to compatibility) can be a better choice than a weaker gpu that plays at 100% assuming you chose the exact same specs for both theoretical systems.

there are tons of benchmarks videos on youtube if you are curious what fits with.

Also the good news is that the higher resolution you get the less cpu bottleneck exists,meaning your more expensive card can perform even better from resolution to resolution.

But 4k atleast for now is something you should avoid imo, except if you dont mind upgrading a system constantly, simply because it is quite demanding, atleast for the vast majority of hardware nowdays.

a "4k card" can become quite easily a 1440p in a matter of a few years, especially those running at "low" vram total

My 3070 ti and i7 13700k are working great together. 1440p balanced setting 190 fps warzone 2

Hey anyone intel arc user I don't know why but in valorant I'm not getting that much fps for some readosn

Mine doesn't I have intel i7 13700kf with a rtx 4070ti with fully custom watercooling

Edit I play in 1440

What is a bottlemeck if anyone mind me asking?

So educational and useful
Thanks Marcus

Hello I just built my first PC I have no clue what I'm doing it's literally my first PC IN MY LIFE ya I'm behind I have a
Tomahawk b550 motherboard
Ryzen 5 5600 CPU
Nvidia GeForce 3060 12gb gpu
2 8gb Corsair 3200mhz ram
2 1tb ssd Samsung 970 Evo
Anyone have any suggestions for me to try like I said I've never owned or played games on a pc so no clue what I'm doing any help would be appreciated

8:32 what game is this in the background?

W Marcus!

R5 1600x with a 6600 xt, managed to alleviate my cpu bottleneck a fair bit recently after getting an nvme and the b450 motherboard which actually allows me to overclock my cpu. I have seen some massive fps increases already.

I've decided to speak straight fax, a 12400f dosen't bottleneck a 4070 (only just)

I'm shocked that someone finally used Cities Skylines to demonstrate bottlenecks. I would love to see it and other simulation games used in benchmarks more. There's a sneaky one out there, Football Manager, that no one uses but the community every year setups up benchmark discussions on the forums so people will know how it runs on certain hardware

Hello everyone 👋 just wondering if someone could suggest an upgrade for me as I’m struggling to figure out how to get the most improvement/future proofing out of an upgrade. Specs:
Intel i5 11400F
Gigabyte 3070
32gb 3200 mhz RAM
Corsair 850w psu
Msi b560 pro-WiFi mobo
A 500gb Samsung nvme ssd
A barracuda 1TB hhd
A wd 1tb sata drive
And the noctua dh-15
This setup is mainly used for mil-sim games like squad or he’ll let loose etc and games like star citizen + rust. Thanks for any help or suggestions 👍

In 2011 i bought a 3930k 6 core 12 thread true monster for that time. It lasted with any gpu you threw at it until around 2017/2018 when i sold the system. Nowadays the botttleneck is the cpu as they are not fast enough for the gpus. An example of this would be 5000 amd series with 3090 and try a new 7000 series cpu. U will see the 3090 pushing more frames with the new chips even though everyone was saying the 5000 series was a perfect match. It wasnt. Turns out we need faster clock speeds and more cache. Corrrect me if im wrrong.

8:45 If you play Valorant , I recommend using an other tool than Riva Tuner Statistic (Benchmark tool embedded with Msi Afterburner) , it can create unexpected crashes in the game (i suspect the anti cheat borderline malware Riot is using).
I recommend using Frameview instead or the stats in game for Valorant (via graphic settings -> Tab "Stats")
