Bottleneck percentage
When configuring a high-performance computing setup, it's imperative to ensure that each hardware component is well-matched with its counterparts to provide seamless and optimal system performance. In the case of the Intel Core i5-10210U and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with 640 × 480 and 1 monitor, it appears that hardware compatibility has been achieved superbly, as evidenced by the calculated bottleneck percentage of 0%.
To elaborate, a bottleneck occurs when one component restricts the maximum efficiency of another, leading to suboptimal performance and reduced system effectiveness. However, in this configuration, that is not a concern. Any bottleneck percentage below 5% is generally deemed insignificant, and our current bottleneck value sits at 0%, which means you can expect superior system performance.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Core i5-10210U and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M, under the context of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with a screen resolution of 640 × 480 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 79.4%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 83.3%.
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.

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.
