How do I find my bottleneck?

Monitoring your CPU and GPU We recommend monitoring both CPU and GPU performance to test for potential bottlenecks. If a CPU load is higher than the video card’s load by a significant amount, then your CPU is likely causing the issue.

What’s the bottleneck on my PC?

For easy numbers, imagine that the CPU and GPU each have 1/120th of a second to perform their tasks. That would mean you have a frame every 1/60th of a second (or 60 frames per second). If GPU can keep up with that pace, but your CPU can’t, then you have a CPU bottleneck.
