Heatmap of bottleneck
During gameplay scenarios, your AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD Radeon R9 380X. In such cases, the AMD Radeon R9 380X may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE. Therefore, the AMD Radeon R9 380X will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE 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 R9 380X 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 R9 380X features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE 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.
