About Us

Welcome to Bottleneck Calculator. We are here to make PC hardware simple, honest, and free of the confusion that usually surrounds it. Whether you are building your first computer, planning an upgrade, or just trying to understand why your games stutter, our goal is to give you clear answers you can trust.

What We Do

Bottleneck Calculator started with one simple idea: that figuring out whether your PC parts are balanced should not require a degree in computer engineering. Our free bottleneck calculator lets you check in seconds whether your processor and graphics card are a good match, so you can spend your money where it actually helps.

Over time, we have grown into a complete resource for understanding and improving your PC. Alongside our calculators, we publish plain-English guides on processors, graphics cards, memory, building a PC, and getting the most from the hardware you already own.

Our Tools

We believe the best advice is advice you can act on right away. That is why we build free, easy-to-use tools that answer real questions, including:

• A bottleneck calculator to check if your CPU and GPU are balanced.
• An FPS calculator to estimate the frame rates your build will reach.
• A power supply calculator to size the right PSU for your parts.
• A compatibility checker to confirm your parts work together before you buy.

Every tool is free to use, with no sign-up required.

What We Stand For

The PC hardware world is full of hype, confusing jargon, and advice designed to make you spend more than you need to. We do things differently. A few principles guide everything we publish:

• Honesty first. We tell you when you do not need to spend more, when a free fix beats a new purchase, and when the cheaper part is the smarter buy.
• Plain English. We explain things simply, without assuming you already know the jargon.
• Balanced advice. We are not loyal to any brand. We recommend whatever genuinely offers the best value and performance for your needs.
• Always current. Hardware moves fast, so we keep our guides and picks up to date with the latest parts and prices.

Who We Are For

Whether you are a first-time builder, a gamer chasing more frames, a creator who needs a workstation, or someone simply trying to understand their computer, this site is for you. We write for real people with real budgets, not just enthusiasts with unlimited funds.
