Nope. My vision is a perfect 20/20.

I do the larger font sizes for those who can't see that well, and even if you have good eyes, it's easier to read anyways.
 


:) i had to step cuz I felt like I was getting yelled at through the screen :) you using a laptop? cuz on a 28" screen at 1080p that looks painful :)
 
My apologies if it's not the right place for this question. Do let me know where it's appropriate and I'll do the adjustments.

Could someone explain the intricacies of the bottlenecks formed?

I'm looking at Titan X(Pascal) and can't add the maths up. Perhaps I am comparing the wrong factors. Do correct me if so.
PCIe x16 gives 15.75GB/s but Titan X's is rated at Memory Bandwidth of 480GB/s.Dosent it bottleneck itself? Or was I supposed to look at Memory Speed of 10Gbs. And what is Memory Interface Width?

Is there an article I could read where the ins and outs of a GPU is explained? For example, I think GPU outputs to a display through a cable and how do I check if the cable can support the output?
 


This should help you: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7793/imaginations-powervr-rogue-architecture-exposed/2

To answer your question directly, no the Titan X doesn't bottleneck itself. This is because the memory doesn't rely on the PCIE bus. The memory is connected directly to the GPU core itself and only uses it's bandwidth to transfer information from GPU to VRAM and vise versa. The only thing that the PCIE bus does is A, provide some of the power... and B, transfers pre-rendered frames from the CPU to the GPU.

regarding to 'Bottlenecking Chart for GTX 1060', u mention in the chart i5 4570(pink) & i5 3470(black),& i think i5 4570 also should be black,coz its one step newer & nearly matching clock speeds & once i have that i5 4570(currently having 3470) both have equal performance or i think 4570 would be few percent better than 3470.hope this helps...
& need some advice:my pc cant do multitasking(bottleneck),for example,when installing a game or extracting with winrar my pc become un usable(getting 100% disk usage,cpu usage is 30-50%,monitored in taskmanager)why is that happen,i'm suspecting my mobo's chipset which is h61(mobo:msi h61m p32/w8)...have any idea about that? also in crysis 3 ,welcome to jungle mission(2nd) my cpu hit 90-100 & gpu getting 50-90 usage also in watchdogs ,when driving cpu hit 60-80 while gpu hit 20-70.
 


i'm using a fx8320 right now and i have low cpu and gpu usage in both dying light and gta V , those game only use 4 cores so i can say that the fx cpus bottleneck my gtx 1060 6gb .In Doom , Overwatch and bf1 fps are fine but can't beat an i5 3570 in bf1 conquest max settings with 16gb ram and using the same gpu . i'm using fx 8320 and my friend is using i5 3570k , my gpu is 1060 6gb gamingx , his gpu is 1060 6gb zotac amp
 




Relax. Sometimes it takes time on the forums to get a question answered.

With triple monitors, yeah you'll most likely get a bottleneck. However, I'd test it out first since I'm not 100% sure on that.
 


The reason why new threads get answered very quickly is because we have a Forum Live Feed right on the main page of TH. All new threads go to that feed which is how everybody can see new threads in a quick amount of time.

Threads that are older, like discussion threads (including this one) won't appear on the live feed since it's not new. You'll have to manually go to this thread or subscribe to it.

I hope this clarifies how the thread creation system works. :)
 
First of all i have to thank you a billion time for the work you've put here, that is incredibly helpful for a lot of us. For example i have a i7-3770(not k) that i was a bit worried about even thoug it still a pretty good cpu but i now know that i'll be able to enjoy a 1060 or a 480 without problem ( i'm a right ?)

 


I'm just glad my worked paid off. :) Thank you.

Correct, you'll get a bottleneck free experience with either of those cards. :)

 
Most people I asked told me that the i5-3570k won't bottleneck the 1070. Atleast not by much.
Well.....I just can not agree with that at ALL! It's not fun playing games while seing 100% Cpu usage and 40%-60% GPU Usage.
Ofcourse its not on most games, but its happening in GTA 5, Watch Dogs 2 and Titanfall 2 Multiplayer! Titanfall 2 is really weird because in Multiplayer my mouse gets VERY laggy and sound is stuttering while my CPU is at 100% usage.
I'm getting a i7-6700k because I just cant deal with this annoyance and I want as little as possible GPU bottleneck!

PC Specs currentely:
B75MA-p45
i5-3570k OC to 3.8Ghz
Zotac GTX 1070 AMP! Extreme
Corsair Vengeance 650W
16GB RAM
1TB (D)+500GB (C (Windows))
1080p 60hz display
 


That would be caused by insufficient RAM wouldn't it?
 


16GB is plenty for a gaming PC, if he had 8GB, then that would be a possibility.
 


You have any idea from what it is/What causes the mouse and sound stutter/lag? D:
But it's only in Titanfall 2 Multiplayer, so it's not the end of the world for me xD
It helps when I put windows sound from 7.1 to stereo.....
 


Well what does it look like in task manager when you are playing? We covered insufficient memory could be a problem, but you have 16GB which is more than enough. Is anything hogging the memory apart from the game? That's all I can think of that could cause mouse lag really. Is it a wired mouse?
