One of the most overlooked factors in PC gaming performance is the relationship between your CPU and GPU. Let’s learn how to keep them balanced.
If either component is significantly weaker, it can hold back the other, causing input lag, micro stutters, and FPS instability.
In high refresh rate gaming, CPU-bound scenarios often cause FPS ceilings even if your GPU is underused. A strong GPU with a mid-tier CPU can waste performance potential.
