Check your system performance and identify any limitations.
Hi, I'm checking if your CPU is limiting performance with your GPU setup. You're using a GTX 1070 and an i5-7400 running at 1440p at 144Hz.
That depends on the Games you play. Not all new Games take advantage of all cores or threads. We need some Data to tell if you have a Bottleneck or not. Bottlenecks get hyped up more often than necessary.
It's simple to configure an OSD using GPU and CPU resources. The details are hard to share because they vary based on game settings and other factors.
Your device needs a limitation to work properly. Without it, performance would match that of the most powerful supercomputers. Whether it's the processor, graphics card, memory, or storage, the details are unclear. However, with what you currently have, your processor shouldn't be the limiting factor. I recommend testing the drive or memory to confirm. Some users have weaker CPUs but similar graphics and still avoid bottlenecks. You might also use "Activity Monitor" to check CPU usage for a clearer picture.
Certainly, it’s important to note that every PC faces a limitation somewhere. These bottlenecks are tied to hardware and emerge when a process demands more than the system can handle at its peak. In gaming, we commonly encounter GPU or CPU constraints, both of which lower frame rates unexpectedly. Sometimes the GPU struggles to render frames quickly enough, while other times the CPU fails to transfer data efficiently. These scenarios are rare and usually limited to specific game moments or sections. Bottlenecks aren’t as intimidating as they seem; they mainly reflect a balance between performance and cost. Having a marginally better GPU than necessary isn’t inherently bad unless you’re obsessed with perfection. It’s acceptable to combine newer GPUs with older CPUs, though the decision rests with the user. Occasionally, a less powerful GPU paired with a CPU works just fine—especially when silence is needed or when settings must be adjusted. As long as the experience meets expectations and the investment didn’t cause financial strain, everything remains satisfactory.

I favor searching online for comparisons. Those links you shared are often criticized here—they represent just one viewpoint. When you collect enough data from different sources, some more trustworthy than others, you can form a clearer picture about possible issues or not. I mean potential because it’s only confirmed once it shows up in your work and affects your experience.
