what is bottleneck?what that means?

what is bottleneck?
i dont know about that thing....\
my processor is FX 6300
Corsair vs 450 psu
8GB ram

and am planning to buy gtx 1050 ti

so its bottleneck?

if YES there is any problem with that? is it cause any damages?

am sorry i dont know anything about that hope u guys answer it

No, bottlenecks don't cause any damage to your PC whatsoever.

The main focus of the 'Bottleneck effect' is when a piece of Hardware, normally CPU or GPU are working with a huge performance gap between them.
Be the GPU working much faster than the CPU or the other way around.

As for a game to work properly, both CPU and GPU have to work "at the same time" so if your CPU or GPU is much slower than the other one, it will drag down the other until it finishes it's process to continue it's work. That's essencialy it.

Bottleneck just make your PC don't work at it's full capacity, because something is dragging it down. But no damage at all

Your FX-6300 isn't a great CPU and will probably bottleneck most recent GPUs, if you ever play an CPU-Intensive game ( It's a type of games that demands more from the CPU instead of the GPU. ). If you ever overclock the 6300, that way you can shorten the performance gap performance a lot, almost erasing any bottleneck.

A easy and nice way to see if there's any bottleneck happening is to download a System Monitor program, like HW-Monitor, it will monitor your system and show the Load on each piece. If ever the CPU or GPU reaches near 100% while the other is not as that high, that way you can say that the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU or the other way around.

Hope to have explained, I'm nowhere near a Hardware specialist but if you have any doubts feel free to ask.

the only thing missing in your description is that there IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A BOTTLENECK no matter what the system is. and the bottleneck may shift from the cpu to the gpu and back again depending on the game and settings you chose.

really too much has been made about "bottlenecks" and it's not the big issue folks make it out to be. your FX-6300 cpu is rather weak and will be the weak link in the system for a high end gpu but for a simple 1050ti they should compliment each other rather well. the only time a bottleneck is a real performance issue is if you are using really high end pieces with very low end pieces. such as trying to add a gtx 1080 to your fx-6300. now you're gonna see some serious performance hits.

grab that 1050 ti, drop it in and enjoy what it brings to your system and don't worry about what it does not bring!!

Agree with everything you said, just didn't want to overextend myself there

Basically a bottle neck on your system is a hardware component that has what we call a lower bandwidth in relation to the speed it runs at, and how much data it can handle, as in the size of the data chunk or code per Ms milli or microsecond.

The amount of data a component can process is mainly limited by the size of it`s data bus and how many bits wide it is in data transfer, or how many Instructions per clock cycle it can run.

Often the Acronym IPC is used.
The more IPC`s a cpu can do for example the less likely it is to be the cause of a bottle neck in your system.

Think of it like a flow of water going through a pipe.
A big wide pipe allows more water to flow through it, at a quicker rate.
Where as a thinner pipe restricts the amount of water flow through it and the speed it flows at.

There for if you were to fill a bucket full of water the larger water pipe would fill the bucket quicker and faster.
You would have more water in the bucket.

When it comes to components of a PC, depending on what is fitted to it.
Just like having a large water pipe, or a smaller one is the bottle neck point.
But as said is referred to in IPC.

Actually I think an easier way to explain it would be internet access. You have a connection that gets 100MB / sec downloads. That means you can watch Youtube videos and Netflix at broadcast quality. Or you have a 1MB / sec download, and you watch Youtube videos and Netflix and it looks like a slide show. Which one are you going to want to prefer?

so can i buy gtx 1050 ti?it will perform good with my specs?

manddy123 · Nov 10, 2016

AMAL SB :

Yes you can, the GTX 1050Ti is nice entry-level card, should fit your needs @ 1080p
