> Unless every single component in the PC works at equal speed, they are all bottlenecks.
> If you were a science student and paid attention in Chemistry class, then while studying 'chemical kinematics' you must have hears the term 'rate-determining step' or simply RDS.
> In a system consisting of multiple components, the whole system's speed is dependent on the slowest component.
> Suppose you are crossing the road along with a small 3 year old boy. You can't run at your normal speed and will have to adjust your speed according to the child's speed. thus, the child (the slowest component in the system) would be the RDS or simple the the speed of the whole system.
> Suppose you command your PC to open up a video:
> the CPU searches the file on the HDD, HDD is super slow: Bottleneck 1.
> the CPU finds the file and loads it into memory. Memory is running at 1333MHz at single channel: bottleneck 2.
> file is loaded into memory, OS loads up the video and audio codec, bottleneck 1 comes into action.
> video codes uses hardware acceleration, calls up the gpu to do stuff.
> GPU copies data from ram,bottleneck 2 comes into play. Data is being copied from system tam to gPU's ram, pcie bus not running at full speed: bottleneck 3.
> GPU is ready to perform stuff, does the stuff, copies data back to system memory, bottleneck 3 comes into play.
> you see... every single component in a system is a bottleneck and you can't really remove it without upgrading your hardware.
Keep the language to English and use decent words.
