Why This Bottleneck Occurs
At 1440p resolution for gaming, the AMD FX-6300 creates a significant bottleneck (33%) when paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570. The CPU cannot feed data to the GPU fast enough, meaning the AMD Radeon RX 570 is not being fully utilized. At 1440p, the workload is more balanced, but the CPU is still the limiting factor in this pairing.
