Bottleneck percentage
The AMD EPYC 7302 may serve as a bottleneck for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti in the Apex Legends with 3200 × 2400 and 1 monitor. Although the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is engineered to manage heavy graphical tasks, the AMD EPYC 7302 might lack the processing power needed to fully unlock the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti capabilities. This imbalance may inhibit the overall efficiency of your system, slowing down processing and possibly compromising graphical fidelity. For a more harmonious hardware setup, upgrading to a high-performing processor that can meet the demands of current software and games is advised.
In a configuration featuring the AMD EPYC 7302 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, with a screen resolution of 3200 × 2400 and 1 monitor, the system experiences a 0.1% bottleneck for Apex Legends.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the AMD EPYC 7302 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, under the context of Apex Legends with a screen resolution of 3200 × 2400 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 83.2%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 75.2%.
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
In gaming scenarios, your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti might not attain its full performance potential due to a lack of optimal utilization. This happens when the AMD EPYC 7302 fails to handle and transmit data to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti at an adequate speed. As a result, the AMD EPYC 7302 will be operating at its maximum capacity, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti remains underutilized.
When it comes to bottlenecks, a processor bottleneck is generally viewed as more detrimental than a graphics card bottleneck. In cases of a processor bottleneck, the AMD EPYC 7302 capacity reaches its limits, which may adversely affect other applications running concurrently. This situation can result in diminished responsiveness and multi-tasking capabilities.
Moreover, due to the processor bottleneck, the system might not leverage the full performance capabilities of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. Consequently, there could be restrictions in graphical rendering, frame rates, and the overall gaming experience.
To visualize these bottlenecks, consider examining our heatmap. On this heatmap, the X-axis represents the CPU Score, while the Y-axis denotes the GPU Score. A quick glance at this heatmap can offer invaluable insights into potential bottlenecks within various system configurations.
By correlating your AMD EPYC 7302 CPU Score and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU Score on the heatmap, you can acquire a more comprehensive understanding of how these components interact and where the bottlenecks might occur. Making well-informed hardware choices based on this heatmap analysis can lead to a more balanced and efficient computing setup for your specific needs.

Impact of Changing Screen Resolution
Interestingly, if you're facing a processor bottleneck, altering the screen resolution may have a counterintuitive impact. Elevating the screen resolution will primarily stress the graphics card, thereby reducing the proportion of work that the processor needs to do in certain tasks. This makes it less likely that the processor will max out, though it does not replace the benefits of a processor upgrade for a balanced system.
Read moreReplace graphic cards
If the processor is causing the bottleneck, replacing the graphic card isn't generally recommended unless you're also planning to upgrade the processor. Downgrading your graphics card to better match the processor might alleviate the bottleneck, but it often results in a decrease in overall system performance, especially in graphics-heavy tasks like gaming or 3D rendering.
