Accuracy of Calculations

The bottleneck percentages provided by our tool are theoretical estimations based on aggregated benchmark data. A "bottleneck" is highly dependent on the specific software or game engine being utilized. Some games are heavily CPU-bound (e.g., simulation games), while others are purely GPU-bound (e.g., ray-tracing titles at 4K).

Our tool assumes an average, balanced gaming workload. It should be used as a general guide for pairing components rather than an absolute scientific measurement. Always read dedicated hardware reviews before making purchasing decisions.
