Bottlenecking is basically the slowest part of the computer for gaming purposes, every single computer has a bottleneck.

Normally it's either your CPU or GPU which is the bottleneck depending on the game. For your case your GPU is almost always going to be the bottleneck but thats because your CPU is so damn fast and not something you need to worry about.

I always say a balanced gaming PC will mostly have the GPU as the bottleneck.

Really? Ever try taking PhysX off the GPU and put it on to the CPU?

TC: If you're having performance issues, chances are your BIOS/OS/drivers settings haven't been properly optimized

PhysX is not meant for the CPU.
