Is there a bottleneck with your I7 7700 GTX 1060 and 6GB RAM?
Is there a bottleneck with your I7 7700 GTX 1060 and 6GB RAM?
A bottleneck occurs when one or more hardware components hinder a more powerful part because of their lower power or because another task overloads them, preventing them from providing sufficient resources. For instance, the most commonly discussed bottlenecks involve BF1, where the game's high CPU demand (even with modern CPUs) limits efficient communication between the CPU and GPU, resulting in a CPU bottleneck. Alternatively, it could be a game engine bottleneck, affecting performance if communication isn't optimal with hardware. Your CPU won’t block the GPU in single-player games, but it might face challenges under certain conditions.
if your display is 1080p at 60hz, it works well and high-ultra mode can achieve over 60 frames per second in many games. But with a 144hz monitor, it struggles to reach 100 fps in most modern AAA titles, though it may perform better in certain games like CSGO. The performance really depends on the specific games you play.

For instance, the most frequently discussed bottlenecks involve BF1, where the game's high CPU demand (even with modern CPUs) limits efficient communication between the CPU and GPU, resulting in a CPU bottleneck. Alternatively, it can be a game engine bottleneck if the game isn't optimized for hardware performance. Your CPU won't block the GPU in single-player games, but it might struggle depending on the game or software you're using. If the game isn't properly optimized, this can lead to a game engine bottleneck.

I'm running at 144hz, but my games are 120fps in pubg, 300 in csgo, and 100 in medium. I think I'm not causing any bottlenecks.
CSGO isn't that demanding, and having 300fps doesn't really matter if it's out of sync—it'll cause tearing.
Cap it at 143fps so your CPU and GPU aren't wasting effort on frames you won't notice.
Sorry to interject, but I agree with your perspective, though I don't believe BF1 is extremely CPU-intensive. In fact, I think it's one of the most efficiently optimized AAA titles available given its visual quality. A prime example of a poorly optimized, unnecessarily CPU-heavy game would be PUBG.
Sorry to interrupt, but I share your view but I don't think BF1 is that CPU-intensive. In fact, I believe it's one of the most optimized AAA titles available given its appearance recently. An example of a poorly optimized, unnecessarily CPU-heavy game would be PUBG.
I don't understand how that works with a 6800k. A sandy bridge i7 barely supports a gtx 1080 back.
It's the only game that manages it even at stock settings, with GPU usage changing between 75-99% (80-110fps on ultra).
Maybe it's the PSU or another part, or perhaps my internet is the issue since I see the yellow warnings.
