I just buy a pc like 5days ago and I struggle with my fps on some games.

I tried to overclock my cpu but it doesn’t word

So i was asking myself : did the cpu bottleneck the gpu or something, and if it doesn’t, can someone telle me what to do ? I got a i5-12400f / RTX 4060 / 16gb ram (1 ram)

    Dual channel RAM will help with “CPU” bottlenecks, what type of RAM are we talking about (DDR4/5 and what speed?). What kind of storage are you using? Is resizable BAR enabled in the BIOS? High framerates but weird long pauses can also be storage related if you are doing all of this on a slow SATA SSD/spinning drive depending on where your drives are installed? I also agree with the poster who indicated watch out for bloaty programs that peg system resources at inopportune times.

    have you tried putting energy settings to high performance, and in advanced min processor state up, to get constant max frequency?

    would also help if we knew what game

    I have a 12400f with rx6800, it’s working perfectly, it depends on the game but for example at 1080p in spiderman miles morales gpu utilization was 80-90%

    I had stuttering with a 12400 and a 4070 that went away completely when I popped in a 12900K.

    An average of 150fps with a 4060 at 1080p means you’re not struggling, that card is being used pretty well, no your processor is not bottlenecking since a 4060 isn’t even that powerful, it’s a low-mid end card in 2023. The only issue here is your RAM being at 16GB since Windows takes like 25-40% of that depending on what motherboard and what stuff your Windows came with. I recommending getting 1 more stick of the same RAM.

        It entirely depends on your situation. If you’re playing an AAA game at 1440p, your GPU will go up to 100% utilization meanwhile your processor might stay at about 40%. If you’re playing something like a simulation game or say Minecraft, your processor will shot up to 100% meanwhile your GPU might stay at like 30% or 70%

        Bottlenecks are on every computer, you just gotta tweak to balance everything out if you want to use everything at it’s full capability. Otherwise just play how you want and forget about the bottlenecks with the current components you have. This is why I own a 13900k but a 4060 Ti, although I want a 4080 or a 4090 they are far too expensive currently, so I bought this graphics card at the moment just to substitute my old 1660 Ti.
