COMPONENT
UTILIZATIONS
While running graphic card intense
tasks, processor Intel Core i5-
12500H will be utilized 81.0% and
graphic card NVIDIA GeForce RTX
4050 will be utilized 83.1% .

However, it's important to note

that these numbers represent
theoretical maximums based on
processor and graphics card
usage ratios for specific purposes
or games, and in real-world
scenarios, achieving such high
utilizations may be challenging.

These utilization ratios are based

on the concept of workload
distribution between the GPU and
CPU. Generally, in games, the
graphics card bears a heavier load
compared to the processor. This is
because modern games heavily
rely on graphics processing for
rendering high-quality visuals and
complex 3D environments. By
maximizing the usage of the
graphics card and maintaining a
high percentage of CPU utilization,
you can ensure smooth gameplay,
impressive graphics, and seamless
multitasking.

It's important to note that these

utilization ratios are theoretical
and may vary depending on the
specific workload, software
optimization, and other factors.
Nonetheless, striving for such
balanced utilization between the
CPU and GPU can help achieve
the best possible performance in
various applications and gaming
scenarios.

UTILIZATION SCENARIOS
Let's explore di!erent scenarios
where there are variations in
component utilizations, which can
indicate either a bottleneck or a
specific dependency of a game or
program on one component over
the other:
LOW CPU USAGE AND LOW GPU
USAGE

Low CPU usage and low GPU usage

In a scenario where both the CPU

and GPU exhibit low utilization, it
indicates a relatively light
workload that does not heavily tax
the processing power of either
component. When it comes to
gaming, this could occur during
less demanding games or in
situations where the graphics
settings are set to lower levels.
The low utilization of both the CPU
and GPU suggests that the
system has ample resources
available, which may result in
smoother gameplay and the
potential for the CPU to handle
additional background tasks
without causing performance
issues.
LOW CPU USAGE AND MAXIMUM GPU
USAGE

Low CPU usage and max GPU usage

In contrast, when the CPU usage

is minimal and the GPU usage
reaches 100%, it suggests a
situation where the workload is
predominantly graphics-intensive.
This indicates that the GPU is
e!ectively utilized to its maximum
potential, serving as the dominant
component in handling the
workload. The low CPU usage
implies that the processor is not
heavily involved in the specific
task or program, potentially
suggesting that it is less
dependent on CPU processing
power. However, it's important to
note that this scenario could also
indicate a GPU bottleneck in the
system, where the graphics card
is being pushed to its limits while
the CPU has more capacity to
spare.
HIGH CPU USAGE AND MAXIMUM GPU
USAGE

High CPU usage and max GPU usage

When the CPU usage is

significantly high and the GPU
usage reaches 100%, it suggests a
situation where the workload
heavily relies on the CPU for
processing. While the CPU is
operating at a high level, it is not
necessarily at its maximum
capacity, indicating that it still has
some room to handle additional
tasks. This scenario points
towards a balanced system or a
slight GPU bottleneck, where the
graphics card is operating at its
maximum potential while the CPU
is handling the workload e"ciently
but not pushed to its limits.
MAXIMUM CPU USAGE AND LOW GPU
USAGE

Max CPU usage and low GPU usage

In a scenario where the CPU

usage is at 100% and the GPU
usage is very low, it implies a
workload that is heavily
dependent on CPU processing
power but doesn't require
extensive graphics processing.
This could be the case for tasks
such as heavy data computations
or certain non-graphical
applications. The low GPU usage
suggests that the graphics card is
not fully utilized in this particular
workload, indicating a potential
CPU bottleneck where the CPU is
operating at its maximum capacity
while the GPU is waiting for data
from the CPU to process. This
imbalance between the CPU and
GPU utilization suggests that the
system's performance may be
constrained by the CPU's
processing capabilities.
MAXIMUM CPU USAGE AND HIGH GPU
USAGE

Max CPU usage and high GPU usage

When the CPU usage is at

maximum capacity while the GPU
usage remains very high, it
suggests a workload that heavily
relies on the computational power
of the processor. The CPU is
operating at its full potential,
handling complex calculations and
tasks. Meanwhile, the high GPU
usage indicates that the graphics
card is also contributing
significantly to the workload,
assisting in rendering graphics
and providing visual
enhancements. This scenario
indicates a balanced system or a
slight CPU bottleneck, where the
CPU is operating at its limits while
the GPU is e"ciently handling the
graphics-intensive aspects of the
workload. The overall performance
of the system may be constrained
by the CPU's processing
capabilities, but the GPU is making
a substantial contribution to the
workload.
MAXIMUM CPU USAGE AND MAXIMUM
GPU USAGE

Max CPU usage and max GPU usage

Lastly, in a scenario where both

the CPU usage and GPU usage are
at 100%, it suggests a workload
that requires substantial
computational power from both
components. This balanced
utilization indicates that the
workload is evenly distributed
between the CPU and GPU, with
both components working at their
full capacity. It's important to
ensure that the system is
adequately cooled and capable of
handling the high utilization to
prevent performance issues or
overheating.
CONCLUSION

It's crucial to consider that a

significant di!erence in
component utilizations can
indicate a potential bottleneck or
simply reflect the nature of the
workload, where certain games or
programs are more reliant on one
component than the other.
Analyzing these utilization
patterns can help identify system
performance issues and optimize
hardware configurations
accordingly.
