I'm here to assist with your setup for Botleneck. What specific help do you need?
Motherboard - MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk MAX Wi-Fi CPU, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core, GPU, ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 12GB dual OC V2 RAM, Corsair 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Vengeance PSU, 620W silver power supply, 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, and 1 MP600 500GB M.2. My issue is the PC stutters during most games—please help!
I identified the issue as a bottleneck by analyzing the specifics of your setup. I checked the power supply model beyond just its wattage and rating. I also looked at your gaming experience—what titles you play, their settings, and resolution—to see where performance might be limited.
These games at that setting should run smoothly on your system. There might be an issue with the power supply unit. You could try running "Open Hardware Monitor" to check temperatures during gameplay. Also, consider using DDU and reinstalling your display drivers.
People are already breaking down the term bottleneck… it seems you don’t have one. A bottleneck occurs when a single part works much slower than others, reducing the system’s overall efficiency. When your CPU and GPU perform similarly, you’re likely in a balanced setup—no bottleneck here. The real problem might be elsewhere. I’d suggest starting with drivers and checking for Windows updates. Once that’s resolved, pinpointing the issue should become clearer.
Just reinstalling Windows seems like a straightforward fix. When was the most recent time you did that? Because without knowing what you've installed or visited, resolving issues becomes difficult. Reset everything and check the results.
Windows runs smoothly, I’m using Windows 11 Pro, last update was about a week ago with drivers. The PSU is quite old, but I’ve ordered a replacement that’s in progress—maybe that’s the issue. All data comes from the Hardware Monitor.
So then a brand new Windows, updated video drivers, and stuttering? By the way, go with HWInfo64 instead of HWMonitor. The monitor seems unreliable. What’s your FPS in any game? Choose one. Are those 1% and 0.1% lows falling far beyond what’s typical? In short, medium settings should run smoothly even at 1440p—I’d expect that. Rust might be tough, but the 3060 is just fine.
