No Bottleneck?
Game is fun but bit unrealistic cause there's no bottleneck or anything by pairing for example celeron with sli gpu... Maybe developers could add "Bottleneck check app" or anything like that in future updates?Not saying game is bad, its fun and it's interesting to learn basics from it!

There kind of is a bottleneck.. if you do that your 3dmark score will be significantly reduced vs if you paired it with a threadripper chip for example. At least I think there is.. I haven't done extended testing with that yet to see if slower CPU's make the video card's performance slower. I might try to test that today.

I'm at lvl 11 at the moment and got sucked into "PC Bay" part deals :D
Okay I decided to do some testing about Bottlenecks in this game and I can confirm this game does *NOT* simulate bottlenecks in this game at all. Sad, but it doesn't. Here's my testing result data:

Celeron G3900
=============
00879 - CPU Score
21459 - GPU Score
04756 - Overall 3DMark Score

7700K @ 4.7 Ghz OC
==================
05497 - CPU Score
21459 - GPU Score
14948 - Overall 3DMark Score

As you can see with the celeron, the GPU score was unaffected. This was performed with two Gigabyte Aorus GTX 2080 Ti's water cooled. I did not overclock the video cards. In real life if you tried to run these two video cards in SLI with that celeron, it would severely degrade / reduce the resulting GPU score due to a bottleneck. But in this game the celeron CPU does not effect the GPU results at all. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it is rather sad and unrealistic. But then again most things in this game are completely unrealistic, so whatever. But at least we know this for a fact now.

Ok, nice! Atleast i will know that pairing weak cpu with high end graphics card will not affect cinebench, since i really love to buy stuff in "PC Bay" and build random builds with SLI/Crossfire or without it :)

I had a hunch this game did not do bottlenecks properly, I was mostly playing for fun and ignored it. Good detective work :cozyspaceengineersc:
