Am i getting maximum performance from my gtx 1050ti?

[samxuanle]

Hi, i have a core i5-650 cpu paired with my gtx 1050ti. Am i getting my maximum performance from my gpu, or am i getting bottlenecked by my cpu? The cpu is a dual core, quad threaded @ 3.2 Ghz

Calculate the combo here.

Average bottleneck percentage: 40.8%
*This result is based on average CPU and GPU usage from different programs and games. It changes based on operating system, background processes activity and targeted applications. This result is not universal and changes based on differences in hardware and software enviroments. Please do not use this calculator primary as decision maker than as helping tool to understand performance correlations between different components.
Your processor is too weak for this GPU.

Please don't recommend that site, it doesn't account for the game or resolution which can have a massive impact on bottlenecks.


Monitor your CPU/GPU usage with HWmonitor.

In normal gaming situations your CPU usage should be lower then the GPU usage. If the CPU is higher and your GPU, for example, is like 70% then the i5 is holding back your GPU a bit.
