Heatmap of bottleneck
In gaming scenarios, your NVIDIA Quadro M1200 might not attain its full performance potential due to a lack of optimal utilization. This happens when the Intel Core2 Duo P8800 fails to handle and transmit data to the NVIDIA Quadro M1200 at an adequate speed. As a result, the Intel Core2 Duo P8800 will be operating at its maximum capacity, while the NVIDIA Quadro M1200 remains underutilized.
When it comes to bottlenecks, a processor bottleneck is generally viewed as more detrimental than a graphics card bottleneck. In cases of a processor bottleneck, the Intel Core2 Duo P8800 capacity reaches its limits, which may adversely affect other applications running concurrently. This situation can result in diminished responsiveness and multi-tasking capabilities.
Moreover, due to the processor bottleneck, the system might not leverage the full performance capabilities of the NVIDIA Quadro M1200. Consequently, there could be restrictions in graphical rendering, frame rates, and the overall gaming experience.
To visualize these bottlenecks, consider examining our heatmap. On this heatmap, the X-axis represents the CPU Score, while the Y-axis denotes the GPU Score. A quick glance at this heatmap can offer invaluable insights into potential bottlenecks within various system configurations.
By correlating your Intel Core2 Duo P8800 CPU Score and NVIDIA Quadro M1200 GPU Score on the heatmap, you can acquire a more comprehensive understanding of how these components interact and where the bottlenecks might occur. Making well-informed hardware choices based on this heatmap analysis can lead to a more balanced and efficient computing setup for your specific needs.
Bottleneck solutions
Replace processor
When the processor becomes the system's bottleneck, upgrading it is often the most straightforward way to improve performance. Opting for a faster processor with more cores and higher clock speeds can effectively minimize or even eliminate the bottleneck, making it easier for your graphics card to perform to its maximum capability.

Impact of Changing Screen Resolution
Interestingly, if you're facing a processor bottleneck, altering the screen resolution may have a counterintuitive impact. Elevating the screen resolution will primarily stress the graphics card, thereby reducing the proportion of work that the processor needs to do in certain tasks. This makes it less likely that the processor will max out, though it does not replace the benefits of a processor upgrade for a balanced system.
Read moreReplace graphic cards
If the processor is causing the bottleneck, replacing the graphic card isn't generally recommended unless you're also planning to upgrade the processor. Downgrading your graphics card to better match the processor might alleviate the bottleneck, but it often results in a decrease in overall system performance, especially in graphics-heavy tasks like gaming or 3D rendering.
