Bottleneck tools lacking clear insight into the specific issue are useless to me. You can always design a bottleneck, but when most games function adequately on the hardware, those rare cases become less relevant. Understanding what a bottleneck is (in gaming terms): "When one part limits another part’s performance, usually CPU versus GPU" helps. If both parts operate at full capacity, there’s no bottleneck. Yet this scenario is unlikely. A 100% vs 80% split technically creates a bottleneck. Does this count if it happens in every game? Probably not—only when it consistently affects performance should it be noted. In 99.9% of cases, the recommended setup will perform well without concern. I’m still searching for a solid way to clearly explain bottlenecks and their exaggerated role in PC gaming, but I’d like to dedicate some time soon to document this confusion.
uncertain about long-term viability. focusing on current trends might keep it relevant for a while.
