Calculation result

Bottleneck percentage

In a system configuration featuring the AMD A6-3410MX and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M could potentially act as a bottleneck to the AMD A6-3410MX performance in the Graphic Card Intense Tasks with 2048 × 1152 and 1 monitor. While the AMD A6-3410MX is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M 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 A6-3410MX processing abilities is advisable.

Gauge that shows 16% of bottleneck

With a screen resolution of 2048 × 1152 and 1 monitor, this configuration demonstrates a 16.2% graphics card bottleneck when performing Graphic Card Intense Tasks.

Processor and graphic card utilizations

In a computing setup featuring the AMD A6-3410MX and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M, under the context of Graphic Card Intense Tasks with a screen resolution of 2048 × 1152 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 62.8%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 83%.

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 A6-3410MX might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M. In such cases, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the AMD A6-3410MX. Therefore, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the AMD A6-3410MX 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 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M 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 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M features.

One distinct advantage of not maxing out the AMD A6-3410MX is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the AMD A6-3410MX 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 A6-3410MX CPU Score with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M 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.

Impact of Changing Screen Resolution

Increasing the resolution in this scenario will only make the bottleneck worse, as the GPU will be under even more stress, leading to lower frame rates and reduced graphical quality. It won't significantly ease the load on the already underutilized processor.

Replace graphic cards

When the graphic card becomes a system bottleneck, upgrading it can provide a significant boost in performance. Opt for a card that better matches the capabilities of your processor to get a more balanced system. This will also enable you to run games and applications at higher settings, offering a vastly improved user experience.

Impact of Changing Screen Resolution

If your graphics card is bottlenecking the system, lowering the screen resolution will allow the card to handle data more efficiently, resulting in higher frames per second. However, it's worth noting that lower resolutions will require less data processing from the CPU, which could create a new bottleneck there.
