bottleneck

Main specs: MSI A320M PRO-VH PLUS GTX 1050Ti Ryzen 5 2600 8GB DDR4 2666MHz I play on 1080p 75Hz. A bit longer than one year ago I made a pc build which I was really excited about. Back then I did not have much knowledge about computers in general, so I didn't buy an SSD with it, which already...

Hello experts :) I'm running a brand spanking new GPU on a very dusty motherboard. Is it possible somehow to see the PCI-Express bus utilization and if it is bottlenecking the GPU? I know you can google some tests, opinions and theoretical numbers but I'd like to be able to see/test it myself...

So recently when the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming 980 Ti was 10% off I went ahead and went for it. (I know that the new generation is just around the corner, I have a few reasons behind doing this.) I am soon going to be rebuilding my PC in a Manta from NZXT with the motherboard I am going to be...
