    One way to avoid cpu bottlenecks is simply use a higher resolution or higher graphics settings. Just induce more load on the GPU so that the game is GPU bound. Might as well take the advantage of higher visuals, eventhough the fps doesn't change.

    I have an ancient Intel 3770K (4.4ghz OC) with 16GB DDR3-2166 and I upgraded from a 1050 Ti 4GB to a 6650 XT 8GB and went from 60-ish fps in Planetside 2 and 50-60 fps in 7 Days to Die to 80-100 fps depending where I am looking in the game and the action at the time. Both games are set to ultra graphics settings. So even an ancient quad-core can still game well with a decent modern graphics card.

      It`s good to build a PC with a GPU bottleneck because then you can upgrade it after a few years to a much faster GPU. Then maybe even another GPU upgrade after another couple of years.
      People who build a PC without a bottleneck cant upgrade the GPU later on because they`d have a huge CPU bottleneck if they did. So a CPU upgrade would be needed as well.

      @@rampageblizzard The slowest part is generally the part that goes to 100% load when you put your application on it. I.e. the bottleneck is the the part at "full pressure" while all other parts idle at least partially since they must slow down for the bottleneck. Profiling and monitoring tools (e.g. Windows system monitor) which show component load can help you find that bottleneck. However, you need to be aware that some load metrics involve more than one component: E.g. if you have 8GB RAM, but your system tries to keep 10GB in memory it is safe to say that the RAM needs more gigabytes. On the other hand, measured CPU load is actually "fraction of time the CPU tries to do something", which involves both the CPU and RAM data access since CPU and memory work interlinked to get the CPU's work done. Hence 100% CPU load (or 100% load on a core) may mean that the CPU itself (arithmetic units etc.) are overloaded (-> CPU is the bottleneck) or it may mean that the memory bus is at 100% capacity and the CPU gets starved waiting for data (-> RAM *speed* is the bottleneck). These cases need more detailed analysis tools to find out which of the involved components is actually the bottleneck. As a programmer, I use profiling tools (e.g. Intel's VTune or AMD μProf, or Linux's perf suite) to get extremely detailed metrics on my own programs. You can get VTune and μProf for free, and perf tools are usually open-source so you can try them out. Your milage may vary however depending on your own knowledge and the level of access you have on your target applications (debug symbolication is *very* useful for such tools, on the other extreme you have certain copy protection schemes which may interfere with (or outright prevent) any kind of inspection, which includes attaching debuggers and profilers)

    It also depends alot on the type of game you're playing. Some games are CPU bound, others are GPU bound. Playing X4: Foundations or Satisfactory with an already good gfx card and a good CPU, upgrading the gfx card to get more fps during endgame won't do you any good as those games are CPU bound. On the other hand, most shooter type games are usually GPU bound as they don't need massive calculations in the background like building type games do but they have usually better graphics.

While in a lot of cases RAM speed and CPU won't matter too much for gaming, specific games can have a drastic positive benefit.

      Ram access speed is the biggest bottleneck to super fast, low power computing... Caches and long pipelines use lots of power and replication and do not solve branch prediction misses. 512mb of on-chip SRAM for the CPU and 512mb for the G/C would be vastly superior to even 32GB of DDR5 DRAM or GPU VRAM... I could see an 8 core Zen 6 on a 1 nanometer node with 512mb of Level 1 cache.

      @@Crimbtw .. I didn't really explain myself very well. Basically I'd rather have 512mb of SRA,M (1 to 4 clock cycle access, instead of over 100 for main memory) over more cores... Zen 6 or 7 could have 32 to 64 cores as standard, but I'd rather have 8 or 16 and tons of super fast ram... I like using lookup tables to speed up operations. Databases would run much faster.. Will be interesting to see how they go... it's CORES vs SRAM (Static RAM).... FIGHT!..
      Adding CPU cores give diminishing returns... 32 for a standalone is more than enough... 16 is plenty... Graphics cards get more powerful the more cores they have as they run in parallel all the time.

Because a CPU has a longer lifespan of giving good performance than a graphics card. I have upgraded graphics cards about 3 times before changing the processor. This has been a great way for me to make sure I get the best out of my system.
