Enter your GPU, CPU, and resolution into the calculator to determine the bottleneck of your PC setup.
Bottleneck Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the bottleneck percentage of your PC components.
Bottleneck (%) = (CPU Speed / GPU Speed) * 100
Variables:
- CPU Speed is the clock speed of your processor (GHz)
- GPU Speed is the clock speed of your graphics card (MHz)
- Resolution affects the load distribution between CPU and GPU
To calculate the bottleneck, divide the CPU speed by the GPU speed and multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage. Adjust this formula based on the resolution to get an accurate bottleneck value.
What is PC Bottleneck Calculation?
PC bottleneck calculation refers to identifying which component of your PC setup is limiting the overall performance. It helps in understanding if your GPU or CPU is being overworked relative to the other component. By calculating the bottleneck, you can make informed decisions about which components might need an upgrade to balance your system’s performance.
