How do you know where your PC bottleneck is?

How do I figure out if it is my CPU, GPU or RAM are limiting my performance? I cannot run my Valve Index VR headset at the maximum 144Hz, I am at 120Hz. When I try to use the maximum everything gets wavy. I thought it was the GPU. Do you have advice?

I'm not at all a computer or technology person, so someone else is probably better suited to answer you, but if you can find your "Task Manager" app (if you have windows) and click on the "performance" tab, you can see how much you are using those components.

You might check these three links for possible solutions/explanations. Apart from that, the manufacturer does stipulate that running at 144hz is "experimental" at best. It may not be an actual hardware "bottleneck" at all. If removing the face gasket helps...it would reflect an optical issue with the headset itself. Though there could still be other issues.

I think that is an excellent idea. Set my Valve Index to 144Hz and check the performance to see which thing is working hardest. Thank you so much

Oh, I did not know that. A man on the internet said he had his set to that so I thought I could but maybe it becomes all wavy because it is experimental. Thank you for the articles, I will go read them now.
