Description

What is a PC bottleneck, and why does it reduce your gaming performance even when your specs look powerful on paper? In this episode, we explain the real meaning of a bottleneck in a computer system and how hardware imbalance between your CPU and GPU can limit FPS, cause stuttering, and prevent your PC from reaching its full potential.

We break down the difference between a CPU bottleneck and a GPU bottleneck, how each one affects gaming performance, and why resolution and game settings play a major role. You’ll also learn how RAM limitations, storage speed, and thermal throttling can contribute to performance issues.
