That's how you approach things, you understand? It might seem too simple, but it still holds some truth. I've noticed around 20 discussions in GD and PC Gaming about bottlenecks, mostly focusing on the latest CPUs and GPUs for 1080p performance. Some talked about older hardware, which just wasn't up to the game requirements. There were also threads where the main issue wasn't bottlenecking at all—it was something else entirely. I apologize if I got too caught up in the PC building debate.
I understand your point. You've shown me several cases where my simplification was incorrect. It's simple to overload a computer with current hardware, yet it's also possible to have a system that runs smoothly even with different generations. Many people aren't familiar with how bottlenecks function, so if I keep giving such advice, they might not learn anything further. And regarding your last statement—it's actually incorrect. Bottlenecking depends on the specific application and the hardware being used.
I wasn’t planning to continue posting, yet you’ve clearly shown oversimplification isn’t entirely off the mark. You keep emphasizing it’s an oversimplification, and I’m not disputing that point. That’s the only thing I want to say here about this. E: I understand that purchasing the newest models doesn’t always avoid bottlenecks. However, focusing solely on bottlenecks during setup or troubleshooting isn’t the right method. My simplification is just an effort to counter this trend, which I see as a harmful and widespread practice.
Oversimplification carries its own definition. If it weren’t inherently incorrect, you’d just be reducing it further. That’s the moment you want to avoid—unless you’re talking about actual physical construction. Then it might seem simpler to clarify that bottlenecking is a software concept unrelated to the physical interaction of your parts. Maybe this explanation feels a bit complex for some. There’s no single perfect response.
