Calculation result
Bottleneck percentage
When configuring a high-performance computing setup, it's imperative to ensure that each hardware component is well-matched with its counterparts to provide seamless and optimal system performance. In the case of the Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 and AMD FirePro W7000 Adapter in the Graphic Card Intense Tasks with 4096 × 3072 and 1 monitor, it appears that hardware compatibility has been achieved superbly, as evidenced by the calculated bottleneck percentage of 0%.
To elaborate, a bottleneck occurs when one component restricts the maximum efficiency of another, leading to suboptimal performance and reduced system effectiveness. However, in this configuration, that is not a concern. Any bottleneck percentage below 5% is generally deemed insignificant, and our current bottleneck value sits at 0%, which means you can expect superior system performance.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 and AMD FirePro W7000 Adapter, under the context of Graphic Card Intense Tasks with a screen resolution of 4096 × 3072 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 82.8%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 78.6%.
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
The heatmap serves as a graphical representation to further confirm the compatibility between the Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 and AMD FirePro W7000 Adapter. On this heatmap, the x-axis corresponds to the CPU Score, and the y-axis corresponds to the GPU Score. In a perfectly balanced system such as this, the intersection point of the Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 and AMD FirePro W7000 Adapter will fall within the "no bottleneck zone."
The "no bottleneck zone" is an area on the heatmap where the hardware components are not only compatible but are also optimally matched to provide peak system performance. When the intersection of the CPU and GPU scores resides in this zone, it is a strong indicator that the system is balanced and will deliver excellent performance for Graphic Card Intense Tasks. The presence of both the Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 and AMD FirePro W7000 Adapter in this zone confirms that neither component will hinder the performance of the other, leading to a seamless and highly efficient computing experience.
Mapping your Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 CPU Score against the AMD FirePro W7000 Adapter GPU Score can provide a comprehensive view of how these components interact and where bottlenecks are most likely to happen. Leveraging this heatmap data could guide you in making more balanced hardware selections suitable for your specific computing 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
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.
