Optimize your PC's performance with our advanced Bottleneck Calculators. Specifically designed for enthusiasts and professionals, this tool identifies CPU-GPU bottlenecks.

Today I stumbled across this site, which allows you to see whether your CPU and GPU are well paired, for various tasks.

E.g., here’s my current set up, for “graphics intensive tasks”:

And the site tells me this for that combination:

While the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 limited graphical prowess may compromise the overall system efficiency. This disparity could lead to decreased performance and less effective utilization of system resources. To rectify this imbalance, an upgrade to a more capable graphics card that complements the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processing abilities is advisable.

Neat!
