Calculation result
Bottleneck percentage
In a system configuration featuring the Intel Core i5-470UM and AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870, the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870 could potentially act as a bottleneck to the Intel Core i5-470UM performance in the AdVenture Capitalist with 1280 × 1024 and 1 monitor. While the Intel Core i5-470UM is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870 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 Core i5-470UM processing abilities is advisable.
With a screen resolution of 1280 × 1024 and 1 monitor, this configuration demonstrates a 6.9% graphics card bottleneck when performing AdVenture Capitalist.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Core i5-470UM and AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870, under the context of AdVenture Capitalist with a screen resolution of 1280 × 1024 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 69.9%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 83.2%.

Heatmap of bottleneck
During gameplay scenarios, your Intel Core i5-470UM might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870. In such cases, the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870 may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the Intel Core i5-470UM. Therefore, the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870 will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the Intel Core i5-470UM 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 Mobility Radeon HD 5870 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 Mobility Radeon HD 5870 features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the Intel Core i5-470UM is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the Intel Core i5-470UM 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 Core i5-470UM CPU Score with the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870 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.
CPU intensive tasks bottleneck result
When it comes to CPU intensive tasks, such as video editing, 3D rendering, or scientific computing, the bottleneck calculation primarily focuses on whether your processor is powerful enough to handle these workloads efficiently. Here, a high bottleneck percentage for the CPU would indicate that your processor is the limiting factor, making tasks slower than they could be with a more robust CPU.
GPU intensive tasks bottleneck result
In scenarios involving GPU intensive tasks—like advanced gaming, graphical rendering, or video processing—the bottleneck calculation highlights the efficiency of your graphics card in relation to the overall system. A high bottleneck percentage on the GPU side would suggest that your graphics card is the limiting component, potentially hindering your system's ability to deliver optimal graphical performance.
Bottleneck solutions
Replace processor
If your graphic card is causing the bottleneck but you're considering replacing your processor, reconsider this approach. Unless your processor is already on the verge of becoming outdated, upgrading it might not offer a significant performance boost, particularly in graphics-heavy tasks.
