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 5 3350G might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD Radeon RX 560X. In such cases, the AMD Radeon RX 560X may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the AMD Ryzen 5 3350G. Therefore, the AMD Radeon RX 560X will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the AMD Ryzen 5 3350G 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 560X 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 560X features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the AMD Ryzen 5 3350G is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the AMD Ryzen 5 3350G 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 5 3350G CPU Score with the AMD Radeon RX 560X 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.
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 Unless your processor is already on the verge of becoming outdated, upgrading it might not offer a significant performance boost, particularly in graphics-heavy tasks.
