I don't really need this, but seeing how accurate, honest and good the tips are, and how you're properly checking for microstutters and 1% lows as the true experience killers (which a LOT of youtubers fail to do), this immediately gets a subscribe from me. Great video
I love the animation with the CPU and GPU and the explanation going along with it!!! There's some really high production quality in this vid!! Also, liked and haven't even watched the whole video yet :D:D keep it up!
Always crank gpu settings up to remove CPU bottleneck, use DSR VSR if needed. You will loose average fps, but gain overall smoothness by improving fps lows. Ps. Great guide.
juan321654 go nvidia control panel and turn on dsr res it would be like this 2x 4x etc and you could play 1440p and 4 k supersampled game on 1080p monitor and also mimize cpu bottleneck
Thats not how it works. Yes you crank up the GPU heavy settings in the game and become GPU bound, but at that point your FPS will be very low. Just because you krank up the resolution or the visual quality, does NOT mean that your CPU has to work less. Yes you wont "feel" the fluctuations as much since when the FPS drops to the lowest point it will also start dropping from a lower point, but then you might just as well just set FPS-limit to 30fps or what ever is the lowest drops you get.
Thanks! Would love to see more about how to identify where in the system a bottleneck is. The forums are awash with the the question "why is my game playing slowly?". Wouldn't it be interesting if there were a diagnostics utility that you could run which would offer hints at where any performance bottlenecks are.
Holy fuck there was so much info on how cpu bottlenecks work. Very good. No idea if it was true or valid but I appreciate the fact that you put so much info into the video instead of just telling people what to do.
1. Dissassemble your PC 2. Take your CPU out of mobo 3. Put it to the trash can 4. Buy the most powerfull one for your chipset 5. Plug it to your PC and have fun
Didn't think all those little changes would amount to such a bog increase overall! Nice Video, Also grats on the sponsor. Would be interested to see if there are similarities between other games, I know some don't really respond to improved ram speed/timings like gta.
+HuMaNiTaRiAn1 Thanks mate! :D Well, I did try Witcher 3 offscreen and got around 7fps average more with the same changes. It's less that GTA, but W3 had some ugly dips when entering busy city areas, which were almost gone after these steps.
I haven't tested this personally but turning all the window animations seems like it might gain you a few fps. WIndows key+R type: sysdm.cpl >Advanced tab>Performance>visual effects and turn off anything that says animation/animate, fade and turn of shadows under windows. 2 more things that might help is setting CPU affinity in task manager for the game to use all cores and setting priority to high might also help. Press Alt+Ctrl+Del and select Task Manager or right click task bar bottom of windowsGo to Processes.Right click on a process whose priority is to be changed, and click Go To Details.Now right click on that .exe process and got to Set Priority and select adesired option.
in my worst game that actually causes the system to drop inputs because the game is so CPU heavy that there isn't enough left to process mouse movements. In fact the biggest tweak for that particular time is to take away CPU affinity from at least one core.
Great guide and info very well done. The bottleneck animation was fun! I also used to turn off or disable all background services that a regular gaming rig didn't need like scanning and print spooling for example would help reduce demand on the cpu. For the newer ryzen cpus running ram in dual channel mode will also increase your fps
Some times setting V-sync half refresh is the best way to go (e.g. run @30FPS) Or run the monitor @50, 40 or 30FPS if it supports it and then use adaptive vsync. Works well for casual gaming, and feels better than dropping between 60-40 over and over.
A good way to increase CPU performance on older Intel cpu's is to turn off the spectre and meltdown protection, it's pretty safe to do this since I've never heard of anyone outside of companies being effected
I should’ve done my research. Recently I went to my local Canada computers in search for a cpu to pair with my 5600XT, The guy I spoke to recommended a ryzen 5 3400g. The worst decision I made was to trust him. Thanks for the recommendations on what I can do!
It really depends on the games you play For something like planetside 2 or KSP you would see better performance from a 10600K/1050 combo and in others a 10400F/3080 combo will do better.
I've a bad cpu bottleneck atm because I recently uograded to a high end card, in my experience turning the resolution up helps a lot to minimize the bottleneck
There's a setting you can change if you edit the configurations file manually to completely disable shadows.

CL is a popular timing, but on it's own, I haven't seen it do anything. Lowering the CL, TRDC, TRP, and most importantly, using that to lower TRAS, however, has shown linear performance improvement relative to the real-world latency change.
It really depends on the software. In Unreal Tournament 3, I found memory latency was all that mattered, which resulted in me using 1866mhz at slightly tighter timings than I could hold 2133mhz at. Some software, however, really appreciates the bandwidth. I didn't do a video on it, but what I found with UT3, in CBP3 Salvation, looking from the top of the waterfall corner into the center of the map in the pre-map flyby was a linear performance increase. 1333mhz at 9-9-9-24 yielded under 70fps, but 1866 with the same timings yields close to 100fps, and 2133 at 10-10-10-27, while not completely stable, was very similar to 1866 with 9-9-9-24. On the other hand, 1600mhz with 9-9-9-24 had trouble holding 80fps, but with 8-8-8-21, it was in the 90s and, again, very close to 100fps. Also, stabilizing 2133 at 10-11-10-30 resulted in a nasty performance drop in line with the final TRAS timing's relative increase, which solidified that it wasn't CL that was the factor for memory latency, but instead, the total of CL, TRDC, TRP, and through them, TRAS, which is a total of of roughly TRDC*2+CL, or, more conveniently, since TRDC and TRP tend to be very close, you can simply add the first three timings to get a rough estimate of a stable TRAS. In the case of DDR3, and presumably 4, I haven't bothered to check, TRAS tends to be a few cycles lower than it's calculated stable time, I would assume as a way to improve DDR3 performance over DDR2.

So true about the graphics, people tends to lower the settings in this case and you need to rise then, is a lot more playable a GPU bottleneck than a CPU bottleneck, you should rise your graphics settings to reach the point where the GPU is bottlenecking and you are going to have more stable fps without so much random stuttering. I do that in AC Odyssey with my i5 6600k and RX480, I can play almost in high/ultra at 50/70fps (60 avg pretty stable in each zone) this with freesync is pretty smooth, if I play it in medium or low is a stuttering fest.
didnt mention all the windows settings that could help? my wifes 300$ hp laptop got like 30-40% faster just from windows settings changes, also improved thermals and battery life at the same time
3 years later and I'm finally getting there, new parts are coming in soon. The 1060 will stay, as the games which I upgrade for won't see a difference there anyway.
+daan boer I need to do some too on my workstation. Or just delete&restart from scratch. IDK, since I'm anyway going to change the workstation in a few weeks.
I was getting 170fps on high with my FX-6350 + RX 580 8GB in Siege, then I stopped playing for a week, updated a lot of stuff, and started playing again but 84fps on low AND ultra. Asus motherboard 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM SSD
Now i learned a lessen to prevent stuttering and cranking up settings in gta. Throughout a year owning a pc launching gta i realized i maxed my game too much it pressures my i5 6500 cpu to 100 percent usage. I recommend everyone new to computers to learn from this if you have a similar problem.
Just overclocks the bus. It is 100Mhz, and CPU runs at a multiple of this, like 34x to run at 3400MHz. Overclock the bus to, say, 103mhz and you have 3502Mhz at CPU.
i couldnt remove my cpu cooler. it is stuck as screws cannot be removed because it holds too tight and the carvings are fucked up so I cannot use screwdriver. i dont know what to do , i dont have a drill
You can also get programs like Gaming Accelerator 2 on steam which can give up to 10% more performance on top of what you gained. Works better on some games and rigs than others, an occasionaly may make performance worst but for the sake of dropping a tenner worth a go. Worked on my laptop on some games.
i'm guessing by removing/disabling background processes and setting the game to high process priority? for that to do anything there needs to be stuff to be disabled in the first place. A good thing for a one click solution, but that that much id the system is already optimized.
I wish I never installed the asus bloadware. And I cannot for the life of me uninstall asus aura. So I've disabled it in the services and it has helped performance a lot.
Locking your frames to 60 fps if u have under 60 lows doesnt improve anything, what it makes is that your game will be more stuttering and playing a game in 30 fps is a mightmare gotta say that i jumped from 60hz to 144hz monitor. Its alot better and dont play games if your pc doesnt meet the recommendations for specs in games you play, just a waste of money..........
I was getting alot of bottleneck on ac odyssey using rivatuner and capping framerate at 45 helped alot now it keeps my cpu usage sitting at most of the time 90 to 95% and 45 still feels smooth in combat so i would try that instead of 30 cause ussually 60 never helps i have a 1070 i run every game above 60 and it still doesnt help but 45 should be good in some games and 30 just feels like shit on mouse and keyboard

i had a fx 6300 with a gtx 1060 and it was a pretty real bottleneck so i got a fx 8300 thinking it would help but actually since the cores are exactly the same it just has 8 instead of 6 it was exactly the same it did help in games like battlefield that use more cores but most of my games dont utilize that many so ya just some info if it helps anybody on the fx series
Its called optimization. Figure out what specifically causes hitching and create custom settings or find the original v1.0 of the game and figure out if certain patches help and if some are less optimal than the previous ones.
I know that a cpu bottleneck will cause fps loses but can it cause graphical texture problems for example graphics load too slowly and as a result they're all over the place
Hey there i got a question. I plan to buy a new pc with these specifics: GTX 1060 6gb I7-7700k 4.2GHrz 16Gb DDR4 RAM 1TB+128Gb SSD hard drive Do you think my pc will bottleneck?
Sry iam a little late for a answer but whatever. I think its not rly bottlenecking, the only thing i would do is buy a better gpu like the 1070 ti or take a cheaper less powerful cpu cause i think that cpu is just a little too strong for that 1060... (i gonna have probably kinda a cpu bottlenecking system with my i5 7400 and an l rtx 2060 super) xD
Just as a last option for people with a nice graphics card but shitty CPU. Unlikely to be a scenario but you know, some do that because they wanted to start low to have at least something in terms of CPU.
You wouldn't get higher fps from a higher resolution. It creates more GPU load (resolution scales basically GPU only), and by being GPU limited at a lower frame rate you take load off your CPU. In a very simplified way you could say your CPU can do a certain fps/GHz in a specific game. You can't increase that ratio (without getting a different CPU), but you could either make your CPU do more GHz or cause your GPU to be the limit at lower fps than your CPU can do.
Guys i need help, i have an I3 4330 3,5ghz with a Gtx 1060 6gb, and 8gb of RAM.

Thanks! Also, i am playing on 1080p, would 1440p relieve this? I'm not sure weather to upgrade my processor or my monitor first....both will be similar price range. Need some advice.
Late to the party here but any measurable increase in performance, especially when under 100fps will make your game run smoother. Especially with .1% being in the 30s then getting as high as 44fps.. Youre going to feel that big time at lower framerates.

This is how you do it! I mean if you can you should try to push your system to the limit before you buy new hardware. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass to buy and build a new mobo + cpu etc.

+daan boer I need to do some too on my workstation. Or just delete&restart from scratch. IDK, since I'm anyway going to change the workstation in a few weeks.
go for it, tbh I kinda have fun cleaning up my machine now and then )
This is a great video :)
My rig has i7 6800K @ 4.3Ghz, 4x4Gb @ 3200 ram and a GTX 980 TI @1450.
I am absolutely bottlenecked.
I.. Don't think I recall what a cpu bottle neck is since I bought my first Ryzen chip.
I was getting 170fps on high with my FX-6350 + RX 580 8GB in Siege, then I stopped playing for a week, updated a lot of stuff, and started playing again but 84fps on low AND ultra.
Asus motherboard
16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM
SSD
crank up that ram. on my 3570K I was able to get my ddr3-1600 running at 2133, and it really helped in low fps, high CPU scenarios.
Also clean the dust under your cpu fan
Nothing didn't know before hand but nice video
Now i learned a lessen to prevent stuttering and cranking up settings in gta. Throughout a year owning a pc launching gta i realized i maxed my game too much it pressures my i5 6500 cpu to 100 percent usage. I recommend everyone new to computers to learn from this if you have a similar problem.
Watch dogs 2 are more cpu demanding than gta v
gta v can even run on core 2 duo with stable 30fps
M. MisterSilence it would barely be able to load all of the textures and buildings in game
How did you overclocked G4560? It has locked multiplier.
Just overclocks the bus. It is 100Mhz, and CPU runs at a multiple of this, like 34x to run at 3400MHz. Overclock the bus to, say, 103mhz and you have 3502Mhz at CPU.
i couldnt remove my cpu cooler. it is stuck as screws cannot be removed because it holds too tight and the carvings are fucked up so I cannot use screwdriver. i dont know what to do , i dont have a drill
Go to computer Service.
You can also get programs like Gaming Accelerator 2 on steam which can give up to 10% more performance on top of what you gained. Works better on some games and rigs than others, an occasionaly may make performance worst but for the sake of dropping a tenner worth a go. Worked on my laptop on some games.
i'm guessing by removing/disabling background processes and setting the game to high process priority? for that to do anything there needs to be stuff to be disabled in the first place. A good thing for a one click solution, but that that much id the system is already optimized.
that bios settings completely gone over my head
Can you explain more on how to BLCK overclock? I also have a G4560 but my mobo is not like yours it is an h110m-ds2.
I wish I never installed the asus bloadware. And I cannot for the life of me uninstall asus aura. So I've disabled it in the services and it has helped performance a lot.
You can also cap the frame-rate at 60 fps or 30 fps, to help with CPU bottleneck.
Locking your frames to 60 fps if u have under 60 lows doesnt improve anything, what it makes is that your game will be more stuttering and playing a game in 30 fps is a mightmare gotta say that i jumped from 60hz to 144hz monitor. Its alot better and dont play games if your pc doesnt meet the recommendations for specs in games you play, just a waste of money..........
I was getting alot of bottleneck on ac odyssey using rivatuner and capping framerate at 45 helped alot now it keeps my cpu usage sitting at most of the time 90 to 95% and 45 still feels smooth in combat so i would try that instead of 30 cause ussually 60 never helps i have a 1070 i run every game above 60 and it still doesnt help but 45 should be good in some games and 30 just feels like shit on mouse and keyboard
@@imperiumrandom8731 Turn down volumetric clouds.
@@steltii 30fps is damn a lot when you run some mmorpg games at reduced resolution than your display has and also on lowest settings possible and then having 30fps max when no action going on and running some 25 man raids again some bosses with 25 peeps and shirtloads of adds spawning and having 1-3 fps and shit i did better job at those times than those same peeps with their 144hz display and over 9000 fps lol. Fortunately those times are over lol
@@fulldnbboy You are sad human person if you prefer 30 fps over 144fps lmao fokin meme
Dont want to be hurtful or anything this is completely a joke but you look like nick cromptons brother, is England your city?
So you say this video is a joke... and then say nothing about how it is a joke, instead say something about a completely different person.
He's just got a lack of punctuation and I think means that the comment about how MB looks is the "joke", nothing to do with the video?
Not to mention England is not a city and MB does not have an English accent. ;)
+Shadow I think the joke was that I look like that guy he mentioned, not the video. :D
MindBlank Tech Yes that was what I meant.
EU Bike Dude If you had listened to the song or even heard of the meme nick crompton says 'england is my city'
That was actually a really huge improvement wow
Awesome video
i had a fx 6300 with a gtx 1060 and it was a pretty real bottleneck so i got a fx 8300 thinking it would help but actually since the cores are exactly the same it just has 8 instead of 6 it was exactly the same it did help in games like battlefield that use more cores but most of my games dont utilize that many so ya just some info if it helps anybody on the fx series
Overclock
i did bro lmao had my fx 6300 at 4.5 and my fx 8300 at 4.5 as well
Crazy how much you got out a locked system.
Recently I've started to just closing the browser, unless I really need it during gaming. Helps a lot.
+MrRaivokasMagma Regardless of the CPU I use, I always close all stuff before gaming. Especially Chrome tabs.
I have a rtx 3060 ti and a ryzen 5 3600 and the bottleneck is really killing me in a warzone and fortnite but not in cyberpunk or gta
Its called optimization. Figure out what specifically causes hitching and create custom settings or find the original v1.0 of the game and figure out if certain patches help and if some are less optimal than the previous ones.
Ok, that animation is funny. Definitely got a sub from me.
I know that a cpu bottleneck will cause fps loses but can it cause graphical texture problems for example graphics load too slowly and as a result they're all over the place
If you are reading this, my problem is that slower than usual/before
Hey there i got a question. I plan to buy a new pc with these specifics:
GTX 1060 6gb
I7-7700k 4.2GHrz
16Gb DDR4 RAM
1TB+128Gb SSD hard drive
Do you think my pc will bottleneck?
Sry iam a little late for a answer but whatever. I think its not rly bottlenecking, the only thing i would do is buy a better gpu like the 1070 ti or take a cheaper less powerful cpu cause i think that cpu is just a little too strong for that 1060... (i gonna have probably kinda a cpu bottlenecking system with my i5 7400 and an l rtx 2060 super) xD
Using a higher resolution helps...
it causes the GPU to become the bottleneck at a lower frame rate, that's it.
Wouldn't (depending on your graphics card) increasing your resolution result in higher fps / less micro stutters?
Just as a last option for people with a nice graphics card but shitty CPU.
Unlikely to be a scenario but you know, some do that because they wanted to start low to have at least something in terms of CPU.
You wouldn't get higher fps from a higher resolution. It creates more GPU load (resolution scales basically GPU only), and by being GPU limited at a lower frame rate you take load off your CPU.
In a very simplified way you could say your CPU can do a certain fps/GHz in a specific game. You can't increase that ratio (without getting a different CPU), but you could either make your CPU do more GHz or cause your GPU to be the limit at lower fps than your CPU can do.
I have a freaking skylake i7 but that thing max’s out all the time playing battlefront 2
AC: Origins says hi
AC: odyssey comes walking by
This video really helps me nd tells me that im stuck and fucked up.
If am on a desktop should I turn of high performance mode in power options
Guys i need help, i have an I3 4330 3,5ghz with a Gtx 1060 6gb, and 8gb of RAM. On Titanfall 2 i was experiencing lag and freeze sometimes, and i started monitoring CPU GPU and RAM usage with MSI AFTERBURNER while i was playing, i had 99% of usage on my GPU and 30-50% on the CPU...is this even POSSIBLE!? My gtx 1060 should run titanfall 2 at ultra settings without problems...If MindBlank or some of you guys could please explain me what's going i'll be so,so happy..i've wrote this issue on many forums but i'm still getting ignored.....
does cpu bottleneck means that the cpu is better than the gpu or reverse?
it means your cpu can't keep up with the gpu so you lose performance
When your on a OEM board and your Q9400 is bottlenecking your GTX 580 XLR8
Oof. G31 or G41?
Try to bsel mod it.That CPU should be able to do 3.2 without any other things and should get to 3.6-4.0 with some more manual work.
Yo, just wanted to say, you've made me completely understand why i am now getting cpu stutters on my 3080 ti when i wasn't on my 1080 ti. 8700k can't keep up that's why i get occasional stutters in frametime. Thanks! Also, i am playing on 1080p, would 1440p relieve this? I'm not sure weather to upgrade my processor or my monitor first....both will be similar price range. Need some advice.
Increasing GPU load would mean you should go into GPU limitation and get less fps, which in turn means less load for the CPU.
@@HappyBeezerStudios I think it was actually icue that was causing it but upgraded to 5950x and its perfect now. Zero stuttering, love it.
Late to the party here but any measurable increase in performance, especially when under 100fps will make your game run smoother. Especially with .1% being in the 30s then getting as high as 44fps.. Youre going to feel that big time at lower framerates.
I have CPU bottleneck but how can i with no mony improve this
Thanks for uploading a premium content. Really good video editing also very informative on how cpu and gpu works during gaming. Though im on b250 pro-vd motherboard and i just managed to OC with memory try it! As for cpu i cant change it from auto. Any way to do it? Thanks again.
Used my cpu in the thumbnail :'(
i see this is old video but maybe someone is still here and can answer my question will my system bottleneck i5 4690 3.9 ghz + rx 580 8gb?
Yes it will. Battlefield V yes. In witcher 3 no. Depends on game overall.
What. About a i5-4440 with 1650 super..will it bottle neck cpu?
This is how you do it! I mean if you can you should try to push your system to the limit before you buy new hardware. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass to buy and build a new mobo + cpu etc.
i dont know for sure if mine is bottle necked or not. I have a GTX 770 OC and a i5 2500 with 8gb ddr3 ram. I have constant stuttering in games and crashes. Can someone tell me some fixes?
Great video. :)
Are there some other settings that affect the CPU more so than the GPU ??
I have a pc with G4560,GTX 1050, 8gb ddr4 , for some reason while playing games(DotA/csgo) it hard crashes and have to force shutdown my system. please help me out
