Bottleneck percentage
In a system configuration featuring the Intel Core i5-6600K and AMD Radeon R9 390, the AMD Radeon R9 390 could potentially act as a bottleneck to the Intel Core i5-6600K performance in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with 2560 × 1440 and 1 monitor. While the Intel Core i5-6600K is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the AMD Radeon R9 390 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 i5-6600K processing abilities is advisable.
With a screen resolution of 2560 × 1440 and 1 monitor, this configuration demonstrates a 0.7% graphics card bottleneck when performing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Core i5-6600K and AMD Radeon R9 390, under the context of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with a screen resolution of 2560 × 1440 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 74.8%, 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 i5-6600K might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD Radeon R9 390. In such cases, the AMD Radeon R9 390 may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the Intel Core i5-6600K. Therefore, the AMD Radeon R9 390 will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the Intel Core i5-6600K 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 AMD Radeon R9 390 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 AMD Radeon R9 390 features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the Intel Core i5-6600K is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the Intel Core i5-6600K 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 i5-6600K CPU Score with the AMD Radeon R9 390 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.

Impact of Changing Screen Resolution
If your graphics card is bottlenecking the system, lowering the screen resolution will allow the card to handle data more efficiently, resulting in higher frames per second. However, it's worth noting that lower resolutions will require less data processing from the CPU, which could create a new bottleneck there.
