Bottleneck percentage
In a system configuration featuring the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 and AMD FirePro W7100, the AMD FirePro W7100 could potentially act as a bottleneck to the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 performance in the Garry's Mod with 2800 × 2100 and 1 monitor. While the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the AMD FirePro W7100 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 Xeon E5-2667 v4 processing abilities is advisable.
With a screen resolution of 2800 × 2100 and 1 monitor, this configuration demonstrates a 3.4% graphics card bottleneck when performing Garry's Mod.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 and AMD FirePro W7100, under the context of Garry's Mod with a screen resolution of 2800 × 2100 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 72.7%, 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.

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 Xeon E5-2667 v4 might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD FirePro W7100. In such cases, the AMD FirePro W7100 may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4. Therefore, the AMD FirePro W7100 will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 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 FirePro W7100 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 FirePro W7100 features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 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 Xeon E5-2667 v4 CPU Score with the AMD FirePro W7100 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.
