Calculation result
Bottleneck percentage
In a system configuration featuring the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT could potentially act as a bottleneck to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X performance in the NBA 2K17 with 1024 × 768 and 1 monitor. While the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 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 AMD Ryzen 7 5700X processing abilities is advisable.
With a screen resolution of 1024 × 768 and 1 monitor, this configuration demonstrates a 3.1% graphics card bottleneck when performing NBA 2K17.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, under the context of NBA 2K17 with a screen resolution of 1024 × 768 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 73%, 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 AMD Ryzen 7 5700X might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT. In such cases, the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. Therefore, the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 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 RX 5500 XT 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 RX 5500 XT features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 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 AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU Score with the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 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.
