Okay even if its just a ball park rule, I think the CPU is definitely the bottle neck... 10min of gamingYou generally run a monitoring program like msi afterburner with the on screen display and look at the values provided while playing a game at a given graphic setting, as a loose ball-park-rule-of-thumb guideline if your cpu usage is [frequently] above 80% and your gpu usage is below 90% then it's your cpu bottle neck, if gpu is above 90% and your cpu is less than 80% then your cpu is not the bottleneck (a high gpu usage does not mean it is a bottleneck, it just means it is working at [near] full power for a given workload. Issues with the gpu will be seen visually with low fps and graphic/render details).
Note I said it's a loose guideline, there are other factors that can contribute to the overall performance such as single vs dual channel ram.
40-47FPS
CPU usage between 89-94% GPU 35-45%
CPU Temp: 50-54degrees
GPU Temp: 37-40degrees
