is this normal?? or bottleneck

normal of bottle neck??

Normal. GPU "bottleneck" is totally normal and it's what should happen in every game.

It would only be wrong of it would be the other way around. (CPU at 100% and GPU at X%)

 

[shauryavashisth]

what if both at 100%
or
CPU at 100% and GPU less?

those are normal too??
or just cpu should b less and GPU should be more is normal??

Thank You

not sure if i misunderstood, but that is a bottleneck. ideally, both should be close to 100 (but not 100).
but one is at max and the other is not even at 50%, clearly the gpu is too slow for the cpu (might also be that the game is heavily gpu bound)

sorry, i cannot open your link, so.. i might be wrong here lol

Both at 100% is fine.

The CPU should be lower normally. If both are below 100% it doesnt matter but as long only the GPU hits 100% it's totally fine.

@Cons29 sure there is a bottleneck like always, if you dont run stuff with a frameratelimit or vsync. 😛
Btw. he's running BF4.

if the difference is too far apart, then you have a bottleneck. but please note that you will not get the ideal setup, one will be higher than the other, as there are too many factors, like the game itself

@cons29 u mean to say that i should have a good GPU coz my processor is not abel to give its besT?

i would not call it normal (as the difference is too high i think), but having the gpu at a higher utilization is more common than other way around but of course it can happen. like pair an old core 2 with say a 970.
personally, if utilization is close enough, i would not call it a bottleneck (just a personal opinion) as you cannot get them equal esp at all times

 

[Cons29]

yes (sorry i got confused there lol). care to give your specs?

it's like this, if you have a partner running with you, he's like walking fast (can still go faster) and you're already running like there's no tomorrow. so you are not fast enough

With an i7 4790 and a GTX 960 i think one would expect to see those kind of CPU/GPU usages.

 

[Cons29]

ok, just to rephrase, i agree, that having the gpu as bottleneck is more common.
but, 41% vs 99% is not normal. that should be improved

Give your card a bit of an overclock 😀

wow, havent seen any reviews of 960, but didn't think they were that far apart (cpu and gpu)
