Is this Bottlenecking?

[AyeeDobby]

So i have a PC with a AMD FX 4300 CPU, 8GB RAM and a 4GB GTX 1050 TI.

Yes i know the CPU is shit but i want to know if this is bottlenecking and can it damage my GPU?

It will not damage your GPU. It may bottleneck it a tiny bit but i think its a good pairing

If you want to believe that level of performance is good enough for you, more power to ya. The bottleneck is severe, but there will be no hardware damage, the GPU will probably actually run cooler because it is idling more. The FX4300 is arguably on par with a core 2 duo Q9650. And back in 2011, I already detected that the Q9650 bottlenecking the GTX560ti. The 1050ti is almost 2x faster than the 560ti, so the bottleneck will be even worse.

What kind of response is that ? Thats kinda being rude to the OP. If what he has he is ok with than there is no problem

Bottlenecking cannot harm hardware. EVER.

If a component is a bottleneck, it will not perform less than it would with more evenly matched. It also cannot have adverse effects on the rest of the hardware.

Bottlenecking can NOT cause any harm. It merely can cause an unsatisfying user experience.

What part of the response is rude. These are the facts and these are the observations that have been witnessed. I am not obligated to make people feel good about their PC builds, that is a psychology problem and it is entirely up to themselves to be happy about what they got. Lying about facts, sugar coating stuff on the other hand is morally reprehensible.
