Understanding Bottlenecks

What is a Bottleneck?

A bottleneck occurs when one component limits the performance of the entire system. Like a traffic jam, the slowest component can prevent other components from reaching their full potential.

Common Causes

  • • Mismatched component performance levels
  • • Outdated hardware
  • • Insufficient cooling
  • • Resource-intensive applications

Component Relationships

CPU-GPU Balance

  • • Gaming performance
  • • Rendering tasks
  • • Workload distribution
  • • Resolution scaling

Memory Impact

  • • RAM capacity
  • • Memory speed
  • • Dual channel benefits
  • • Cache hierarchy

Storage Considerations

  • • SSD vs HDD
  • • NVMe benefits
  • • Load times
  • • System responsiveness
