What do we offer?
Users can select from three primary types of bottleneck calculators: General Tasks, Processor Intense Tasks, and Graphic Card Intense Tasks . Each calculator is programmed to analyze distinct facets of your system, be it the Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), or the symbiotic relationship between the two, depending on the computing workload.
For those interested in gaming, we present a separate category: the Game Bottleneck Calculator. This specialized tool allows users to choose from a comprehensive list of popular games—ranging from Grand Theft Auto V to Minecraft to receive a custom analysis aligned with the specific system requirements and graphical demands of the selected title. This ensures that you can optimize your hardware for a seamless and responsive gaming experience.
Our portal supports an extensive database, currently covering 378 games, 2550 processors, and 1216 graphic cards as well as various screen resolutions. Additionally, we offer comprehensive support for multi-monitor setups, allowing for a more nuanced analysis of potential bottlenecks in complex configurations. Choose the calculator that aligns most closely with your specific use-case and optimize your system's performance to its fullest potential.
Bottleneck calculator types
Select purpose bottleneck calculator
Before selecting a bottleneck calculator, consider your primary computing tasks. For general activities like web browsing and office work, the calculator evaluates the balance between your CPU and GPU. If you focus on CPU-intensive tasks like video editing or 3D rendering, the tool will highlight processor performance. For GPU-centric tasks such as gaming or graphical rendering, it will assess the efficiency of your graphics card. Choose the appropriate calculator to accurately identify potential system bottlenecks for your specific use-case.
Select game bottleneck calculator
By selecting a game from the list, the calculator will analyze potential bottlenecks specifically tailored to that game's system requirements and graphical demands. This allows you to optimize your setup for a smoother, more responsive gaming experience. Choose the game that aligns with your interests to get the relevant bottleneck analysis.
