CPU bottlenecking means that your GPU would push out more FPS if the CPU would be beefier.
As an example, lets say your GPU is running at 60% but your CPU at 100% in a game, then you'd have a 40% bottleneck on your GPU, simply because the CPU can't feed it more data, so the 40% GPU processing power is just ... there, going unused.

Question from smokiestsea : "how those bottleneck affects my gaming?"



yes the cpu is a big bottleneck here, because not even one cpu from intel is as weak as fx4150. Even i3 beat's all 8 cores from amd in games. You would get alot more fps and better average and minimum with i5. There's no comparison between i5 6/7gen and any amd realy..

Well right now I get more than 60 fps on my games no frame drops with this CPU (that should bottleneck on everything) I know I need a CPU upgrade but I just don't know if I will feel the difference because my game already run more than 60 fps

Then you shouldn't upgrade if you're satisfied with the image quality and the performance. Besides Ryzen is coming out, so prices will drop if you wait.

But I don't get what the bottleneck do on gaming. Can some of you give me a small explanation because I read on every single page that my CPU will obviously bottleneck but when I play I feel smooth and with frames beyond 60

If your goal is 60 FPS, and you get 60 FPS, there is no problem. The truth is all systems have a bottleneck at almost all times. On this forum, everyone is terrified that the bottleneck will hold back the GPU, but if the GPU is at 100% usage, that means it is the one holding back the CPU.

Anyway, bottlenecking issues will vary from game to game. You currently don't have an issue, so don't worry about it.
