Question about rig

[RuffRidersEvo]

So I just did a CAM test to see if my CPU or GPU were bottlenecking and it read CPU: 35 degrees and for the GPU around 40-42 degrees would this be considered bottlenecking? (I'm not that great with identifying bottlenecks) so I anyone could give me pointers that would be great

Tell us the percentage of usage of each while using the desired application

If the CPU is like 50-60% and the GPU is stuck at 99-100% then in that case your GPU is the bottleneck. But no software uses every component the same. Some are CPU-bound as well so the percentage will give you all the details you need.

None of them are bottleneck. Outlast 2 might be a GPU bound game as its utilising the GPU more. Bottleneck occur when one of it is stuck at maximum usage. Can you tell us your system specs?

Sure

Your GPU might be a slight bottleneck especially in much more GPU-bound games against your hexa core as now GTX 980 class performamce can now be found on the tier of a GTX 1060

Yea I kinda figured the GPU bottlenecked a little bit, Should I OC it? or get the 1080 sometime in the future

You can OC your GPU for now. GTX 1080 has been with us fo a while so lets OC your GPU first and use it until it can take no more. If you start seeing noticeably low FPS in your games even after OC, then buy a new one
