Is it bad if your CPU bottlenecks your GPU?

If your GPU or CPU are the bottleneck, you simply can’t get more performance out of it. That’s all. In fact, there is always a bottleneck in every single system, that’s the simple truth. The key is to make a nice balance when making a build, i.e. not to get a too slow CPU with too powerful GPU or vice versa.

How much can a CPU bottleneck a GPU?

Whichever performance meter you use, here are some general bottleneck rules of thumb: CPU at 99-100%, with GPU at below 99-100%: CPU bottleneck. GPU at 99-100%, with CPU below 99-100%: Normal unless the performance is below the target framerate, then it’s a GPU bottleneck.
