Advanced DPI™ Analysis for Valorant
CRITICAL LIMIT: Valorant is heavily dependent on the CPU. The processor bottleneck shown here will severely limit your frame rate, and you may experience stuttering since the GPU has to wait constantly.
Measures architectural CPU-GPU balance variance. Real-world gaming varies across game engines, scenes, and background load — treat small differences as noise, not signal.
At 1080p (144Hz), the processor approaches thread saturation before the graphics card is fully utilized. At a higher resolution (e.g. 1440p or 4K), the CPU bottleneck percentage can fall because the GPU becomes the limit; frame rates do not increase and typically fall.
At 1080p / 144Hz, this system is operating with an active CPU limiting factor (20%). Minor CPU instruction ceiling, but gameplay remains fluid with consistent frame delivery.
This percentage is an estimate, not a live measurement of your games. It is the scaled gap between CPU pressure and GPU pressure at 1080p / 144Hz under your selected workload profile.
CPU pressure combines the CPU Capability Index (70), the workload CPU weight (1.30), and the refresh demand factor (2.26).
GPU pressure combines the GPU Compute Index (68), the workload GPU weight (0.90), and the resolution load factor (0.85).
The weighting scheme is published openly in the "How Our Calculation Works" section on the homepage, alongside its peer-reviewed research basis and stated limitations.
Validation: tested against 16 real-world CPU benchmark pairings (GeForce RTX 4090, 1080p, 5-game suite, Benchmark.pl data) — the model identified the correct limiting side in 87.5% of pairings, and pairings it rated as more CPU-limited showed proportionally less measured headroom (rank correlation 0.85). Scope: one GPU, one resolution, 16 pairings — preliminary evidence, not proof.
We analyze system pressure based on your CPU, GPU, resolution, refresh rate, and workload. Here’s a deep dive into how your bottleneck score was calculated.
