very helpful in giving a full description. Good video 👍

Nicely done. Clear, concise, and practical

This is a great information video, actually ❤

Cpus come locked or unlocked from the manufacturer. So if i buy a locked cpu i should immediately upgrade? Even if your cpu stays at 100 percent usage it shouldn't be overheating. If it is that's more indicative of a cooling issue. Also, in a bottle neck the underutilized component doesnt find it hard to handle all of the power from the component that is maxed. The maxed component is working overtime trying to keep up and is the bottleneck.

There are a ton of practical ways to actually test this in games. I am surprised you offered none of those tests. Even so much as a simple CPU and GPU usage program to display these values while you play. Not sure this video really helped anyone.

I have an i5-9400F and a 1650 Super. Not looking to be playing super powerful games but want to make some slight upgrades. Should I upgrade CPU or GPU first? On a bit of a budget

Just curious. I just installed a ryzen 7 3700x but my graphics card is still a 1060. Will i have basically created a bottleneck? I planned on buying a 7600xt and now im especially thinking thats a good idea to do today.

i5 7400 and gtx 1050ti, which should i go for upgrade?

Need help! I have ryzen 5 3400g with a320m mobo and 1060 6gb im lost what ro upgrade should i go for 2060s upgrade or go for b550m mobo with ryzen 5 5600?

Sir i have a i3 10th gen and a gt 1030 what should i upgrade first i mostly use my pc to play games.

I got an i5 7500, I intend to pair it with a RTX 4060 ti, and then upgrade my CPU next year

Which one should I upgrade first? My Ryzen 5 5500 only supports up to PCI 3.0 but I have been using my 1070 GTX since 2017. I have Gen4 SSD which is limited by my CPU unless I upgrade it. However, my GPU is already 6 years old even though it is still running pretty well. The CPU and GPU I am looking at are currently on a discount promotion. Only have enough cash to upgrade either one first. Appreciate your helpful replies.

I dont know

i got a ryzen 5 5600x GTX 1660TI which should i upgrade for 1440p gaming ?

I'm really in a fix. I have a R3-1200 with a RX570. What should I do? APU? I'm on an ASUS Prime-A 370 motherboard. Most of the money went into the case, motherboard, and power supply. And then I cheaped out on the CPU/GPU tandem. Before that I was sitting on a Phenom II-940/Radeon HD4500. So it's been awhile. Believe it or not, I'm satisfied at 720. I can't see the details any better anyway.🤣

go for teh GPU upgrade first 100% in your case.

hello im trying to build a pc and my budget is around £1500. I want the h6 flow case (£100) , b650 aorus elite ax mother board ( £200), corsair rm750 psu (£110) , 16 gb ram kingstun fury beast ( £66), crucial p3 1 tb storage (£69), phantom spirit 120SE cooler (£33). They were my budget choices other than the case so i could spend as much on the cpu and gpu for performance. I play all competative games such as valorant, csgo, fortnite, roblox which ik are mostly cpu intensive games so im left with some choices to fill my bufget. can you please advise best or if u want to make any changes. I would love to hear your opinion. I have a 144hz monitor 1440p 27". 1) r7 7800 x3d + rtx 4070. Since i play lots of cpu intensive games i want to spend as much as possible and get a reliable good cpu which will last me a long time. additionally the rtx 4070 is good gpu overall which works good at 1440p. and im also worrying about bottle neck issues. 2) r5 7600(x if cheaper) + rtz 4070 super. ive dones some research and apparently 1440p is less cpu intensive but my only worry is that if im playing cpu intensive games, would this work worse than option 1?. however the jump in performance and vram between 4070 and super versions is quite high. and the 4070 super is a very good 1440p graphics card. If you have any other combinations that you think will work better please let me know.

im not gonna upgrade yet but just asking i have a ryzen 5 5600x b550 rx 6650xt if you were me what would you upgrade first ?

Depends on which CPU you want to upgrade to. I'm assuming the motherboard u have right now can only handle a CPU 1 generation higher, which is the 11th gen. If you plan on changing to AMD CPU or 12th gen or higher intel CPU then you will for sure need a new motherboard and possibly RAM. Let me know what CPU you plan on getting and I can give you a pretty good suggestion with a budget you provide.

Dude I'm sorry, but some of this is just plain wrong. If your gpu is the bottleneck, your cpu is being underutilized, and will not be "overheating". Also if your cpu is overheating it might just be time for better cooling. As a rule of thumb I would use. When turning down graphics settings/resolution still doesn't help your framerate, you need a faster cpu to process the things going on in the game. If turning graphics settings down does improve framerate, but the visuals aren't up to par, you need a better gpu. A cpu, for the most part is not affected

That isn't how bottlenecks work really, they dont use all of their power and cause the other to not be able to handle that power. What happens is they wont use all their power, because the weak link cant match it's power. If you're getting 100% CPU utilisation and only 50% GPU utilisation, then the GPU is being bottlenecked

Correct.

You're speaking in too general of terms. Cores and clocks are relative to IPC (Instructions per clock.) The way you're phrasing things, an FX 9550 is an 8-core, 5 GHz Processor, it should be amazing. But it's hot garbage, no pun intended. Great video, I just thought some of what you were saying might give some people the wrong information. Also, a 2060 is just as good as a 4090 on an FX 9550 8-core 5Ghz Processor. It's all relative. The answer to your question is always, "It depends."
