PC Bottleneck Checker

Find out what's actually slowing your PC down

Pick the tier closest to your actual CPU/GPU - this uses relative performance tiers, not an exact benchmark database (those change every generation), so it's a quick self-assessment, not a lab-precise number.

How this works

Compares your CPU and GPU's relative performance tier - if one is more than a tier ahead of the other, that mismatch is usually your biggest bottleneck. If they're balanced, low RAM (under 8GB) or an HDD-only setup are checked next, since those often matter more in everyday use than a small CPU/GPU gap. This is a simplified self-assessment based on general hardware knowledge, not a benchmark result from your actual system.

Tiers are illustrative groupings, not exact benchmark rankings - a specific model may perform slightly above or below its listed tier.
