Bottleneck percentage
In a system configuration featuring the Intel Celeron N3050 and NVIDIA GeForce 830A, the NVIDIA GeForce 830A could potentially act as a bottleneck to the Intel Celeron N3050 performance in the NBA 2K17 with 6016 × 3384 and 1 monitor. While the Intel Celeron N3050 is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the NVIDIA GeForce 830A 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 Celeron N3050 processing abilities is advisable.
With a screen resolution of 6016 × 3384 and 1 monitor, this configuration demonstrates a 4.9% graphics card bottleneck when performing NBA 2K17.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Celeron N3050 and NVIDIA GeForce 830A, under the context of NBA 2K17 with a screen resolution of 6016 × 3384 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 71.1%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 83%.
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 Celeron N3050 might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the NVIDIA GeForce 830A. In such cases, the NVIDIA GeForce 830A may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the Intel Celeron N3050. Therefore, the NVIDIA GeForce 830A will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the Intel Celeron N3050 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 830A 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 830A features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the Intel Celeron N3050 is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the Intel Celeron N3050 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 Celeron N3050 CPU Score with the NVIDIA GeForce 830A 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.
