CPU vs GPU vs RAM Bottlenecks

Why this happens and what it looks like

If an app feels slow, one of CPU, GPU, or RAM is limiting speed. CPU caps frame rates, GPU limits graphics quality, and RAM limits how much can stay in memory.

Knowing the limiter helps you choose the right fix, from settings changes to targeted upgrades.

2. Clean Temporary files and Windows Update leftovers.
3. Update drivers from your PC or motherboard vendor.
