It depends on the game engine.
Bottlenecks for Beginners
THW is always in need of bottleneck explanation, so here is my take on the subject matter. Your "bottleneck" will be dependent on the software you run and your display. For gaming: Your CPU handles the game engine and will be able to make a... See full content

possibly... i mean something typically is bottlenecking something in a computer. So it's not beyond comprehension your gpu is being bottlenecked by your cpu. what makes you think you're being bottlenecked? what are you playing?

arma 3, dayZ, minecraft, The forest, Bf4, (gtaV when it releases), spiral knights, game dev tycoon, simcity, Watch_Dogs, medal of honor tier 1, pokemon, arma 2.
