About My Bottleneck Calculator
Our Mission
At My Bottleneck Calculator, we aim to eliminate one of the greatest uncertainties in PC building and hardware upgrades: predicting component compatibility and performance. Since our founding in 2022, our goal has been to empower users with tools and insights that help them choose the right parts and get the most out of their systems.
Who We Are
We’re a team of tech enthusiasts—a mix of hardware engineers, software developers, data analysts, UX designers, and gamers—with a shared passion: making hardware decision-making smarter and simpler. Over the years, we have seen countless build mistakes, compatibility issues, and confusion in forums and among fellow builders. That’s what inspired us to build a better solution.
Our core strengths include:
- Hardware engineering knowledge
- Software architecture and development
- Data modeling and performance analytics
- User interface & experience design
- Real-world gaming and content creation experience
Together, this enables us to tackle the “bottleneck problem” from multiple dimensions and ensure our tools are both accurate and approachable.
What We Offer
Our main offering is the Bottleneck Calculator — a tool powered by advanced algorithms and real benchmarking data. It helps you predict how CPUs, GPUs, and related components will perform together by taking into account:
- The demands of specific games and applications
- Resolution, graphical settings, and quality levels
- CPU core/thread utilization in modern software
- Effects of memory speed, latency, and capacity
- Your potential future upgrade paths
In addition to the calculator, we provide:
- In-depth tutorials and educational content on PC hardware
- Up-to-date articles about emerging components and compatibility
- A community space where users can share experiences, ask questions, and help each other
- Tailored build recommendations based on budget and use case (gaming, streaming, content creation, productivity)
Our Approach
We believe data should drive decisions. Each result our calculator gives is backed by performance datasets, aggregate benchmarks, and continuous refinement. We regularly update our hardware database and refine our models based on real-world feedback.
What makes us different is that we contextualize your results. Bottlenecking isn’t black or white — it depends on what you want to achieve. Whether you’re trying to hit high FPS, minimize render times, or just get a balanced system for everyday tasks, our tool adjusts to your goals.
Community Values
My Bottleneck Calculator was born out of genuine community need, and those values remain core to our approach:
- Accessibility: Simplifying complex hardware knowledge for everyone
- Transparency: Open about our methods, data sources, and limitations
- Independence: No favoritism or hidden sponsorships influencing results
- Education: Enabling users to understand not just what to pick, but why
