Bottleneck percentage
In a system configuration featuring the Intel Core i5-2390T and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 could potentially act as a bottleneck to the Intel Core i5-2390T performance in the Metro Exodus with 11520 × 2160 and 1 monitor. While the Intel Core i5-2390T is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 limited graphical prowess may compromise the overall system efficiency. This disparity could lead to decreased performance and less effective utilization of system resources. To rectify this imbalance, an upgrade to a more capable graphics card that complements the Intel Core i5-2390T processing abilities is advisable.
With a screen resolution of 11520 × 2160 and 1 monitor, this configuration demonstrates a 0.1% graphics card bottleneck when performing Metro Exodus.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Core i5-2390T and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770, under the context of Metro Exodus with a screen resolution of 11520 × 2160 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 75.2%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 83.2%.
It's crucial to understand that these figures signify theoretical maximums based on typical CPU-to-GPU workload distribution ratios for certain tasks or gaming experiences. Achieving these high levels of utilization in real-world settings can be a challenging endeavor.

A game is considered "playable" if it can consistently run at 60 FPS on high settings. This ensures a smooth and visually appealing gaming experience free from lags or stutters.
Heatmap of bottleneck
During gameplay scenarios, your Intel Core i5-2390T might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770. In such cases, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the Intel Core i5-2390T. Therefore, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the Intel Core i5-2390T capabilities untapped.
In the hierarchy of bottlenecks, a graphics card bottleneck is often considered less severe than a processor bottleneck. When a graphics card bottleneck occurs, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 operates at its uppermost limits, thereby allowing you to extract the best performance possible from the card. This ensures that you benefit from the full scope of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the Intel Core i5-2390T is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the Intel Core i5-2390T is not operating at full capacity while gaming, it can allocate computational resources to other ongoing activities like background processes or multitasking, without any performance trade-offs. This contributes to a smoother and more flexible overall system operation.
To gain a deeper understanding of these potential bottlenecks, consider referring to our heatmap. On the heatmap, the X-axis depicts the CPU Score, and the Y-axis signifies the GPU Score. This visualization can help identify the relationship between various CPUs and GPUs, giving you valuable insights into how to better balance your system.
By matching your Intel Core i5-2390T CPU Score with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 GPU Score on the heatmap, you can more accurately assess how these components interact and pinpoint where bottlenecks may occur. Utilizing this heatmap analysis can guide you in making informed hardware decisions that lead to a more balanced and effective computing setup tailored to your specific needs.
General bottleneck calculations
The bottleneck calculations presented here are geared specifically towards in-game scenarios, providing valuable insights into how your hardware configuration could impact gaming performance. However, it's crucial to understand that bottlenecks can manifest in various types of tasks and applications. Below, you will find bottleneck calculations segmented into three primary categories: General Tasks, CPU Intensive Tasks, and GPU Intensive Tasks. This segmentation allows for a more nuanced understanding of how your system's components interact under different types of workloads.
General tasks bottleneck result
For general tasks that include web browsing, video streaming, office applications, and basic multitasking, the bottleneck result offers a comprehensive look at how well your CPU and GPU are balanced. If the bottleneck percentage leans heavily towards either the CPU or GPU, it might be beneficial to consider an upgrade for the more taxed component to ensure smoother system performance.
