A GPU bottleneck can potentially cause the graphics to limit the processor's performance.

A percentage over 5% can cause a GPU bottleneck. During gameplay, when a bottleneck occurs, it is possible that your processor may not reach its maximum performance due to the limitations of your graphics card. This means that the graphics card may struggle to process the data quickly enough, resulting in the processor not being fully utilized. Consequently, the utilization of your graphics card will be at its maximum while the processor's potential remains untapped.

In terms of bottlenecks, a graphics card bottleneck is considered preferable to a processor bottleneck. With a graphics card bottleneck, the utilization of the graphics card reaches its maximum capacity, allowing you to experience the optimal performance that the card offers. This ensures that you can enjoy the full potential of your graphics card's capabilities.

Moreover, one advantage of the processor not being maximally utilized is that it allows your CPU to handle other background programs efficiently. Since the processor is not operating at its maximum capacity during gaming, it can allocate resources to handle additional tasks, such as background processes or multitasking, without compromising performance. This provides flexibility and smoother overall system operation.

SOLUTION

To address this issue, you have two potential solutions. The first is to upgrade your graphics card, which can help alleviate the bottleneck and improve overall gaming performance. Alternatively, you could consider downgrading your processor, although this may not be the most sensible approach as it can lead to a decrease in overall system performance.

In most cases, it is recommended to retain your current processor rather than downgrading it. Downgrading the processor may result in compromised performance and hinder your system's capabilities. By keeping your current processor, you can benefit from its processing power and allocate system resources to handle background tasks efficiently, without significantly impacting your gaming experience. Instead, focusing on upgrading the graphics card can provide a more effective solution in overcoming the bottleneck and enhancing your gaming visuals and performance.

NOTE: A bottleneck percentage of 5% or lower is not considered a significant issue.
