· 3 pulledAh, the ultimate PC gaming boogeyman: 'Is my CPU bottlenecking my graphics card?'
A bottleneck isn't a permanent stamp on your PC. It is a dynamic, fast-shifting state dictated by the specific game you're playing, the resolution you're running, your graphics presets, and your target framerate.
Your system can be completely GPU-bound in one scenario and CPU-bound in another.
