Hey. I'm wondering what approach can be taken to find the 'limiting component' in a desktop computer.
I see a lot of threads to the effect of 'my computer is a bit too crap, what can I do with £x to make it better'. I'm wondering about the rational behind the answers, is it solely based on past experience or is there a more rigorous route available?
I think gaming is fairly simple, in that you need a graphics card sufficient for the resolution and fps you desire, and the same fps at various resolutions indicated a processor bottleneck. But how on earth do you discover when the ram or motherboard is limiting your system?
