Bottleneck percentage
The Intel Core i9-14900K may serve as a bottleneck for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER in the General Tasks with 2560 × 1440 and 1 monitor. Although the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is engineered to manage heavy graphical tasks, the Intel Core i9-14900K might lack the processing power needed to fully unlock the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER capabilities. This imbalance may inhibit the overall efficiency of your system, slowing down processing and possibly compromising graphical fidelity. For a more harmonious hardware setup, upgrading to a high-performing processor that can meet the demands of current software and games is advised.
In a configuration featuring the Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, with a screen resolution of 2560 × 1440 and 1 monitor, the system experiences a 8.1% bottleneck for General Tasks.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, under the context of General Tasks with a screen resolution of 2560 × 1440 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 83.1%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 69.1%.
It's crucial to understand that these figures signify theoretical maximums based on typical CPU-to-GPU workload distribution ratios for certain tasks or gaming experiences. Achieving these high levels of utilization in real-world settings can be a challenging endeavor.

Heatmap of bottleneck
In gaming scenarios, your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER might not attain its full performance potential due to a lack of optimal utilization. This happens when the Intel Core i9-14900K fails to handle and transmit data to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at an adequate speed. As a result, the Intel Core i9-14900K will be operating at its maximum capacity, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER remains underutilized.
When it comes to bottlenecks, a processor bottleneck is generally viewed as more detrimental than a graphics card bottleneck. In cases of a processor bottleneck, the Intel Core i9-14900K capacity reaches its limits, which may adversely affect other applications running concurrently. This situation can result in diminished responsiveness and multi-tasking capabilities.
Moreover, due to the processor bottleneck, the system might not leverage the full performance capabilities of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. Consequently, there could be restrictions in graphical rendering, frame rates, and the overall gaming experience.
To visualize these bottlenecks, consider examining our heatmap. On this heatmap, the X-axis represents the CPU Score, while the Y-axis denotes the GPU Score. A quick glance at this heatmap can offer invaluable insights into potential bottlenecks within various system configurations.
By correlating your Intel Core i9-14900K CPU Score and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GPU Score on the heatmap, you can acquire a more comprehensive understanding of how these components interact and where the bottlenecks might occur. Making well-informed hardware choices based on this heatmap analysis can lead to a more balanced and efficient computing setup for your specific needs.
