The Technomancer

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for The Technomancer with the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B370 shows a hardware combination that is firmly limited by the graphics side. Across all resolutions, the frame rates scale predictably with both resolution and preset level, but the overall ceiling is low.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly below playable thresholds. The Low preset delivers an average of 26 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium drops to 20 FPS average, with a recorded minimum of 17 FPS and a maximum of 23 FPS. High falls further to 17 FPS average, and Ultra bottoms out at 13 FPS average. No setting at 4K approaches the 60 FPS threshold; even the fastest preset here is less than half of that target.

Moving to 2560x1440 improves the situation but does not change the overall verdict. Low produces an average of 47 FPS, the strongest result at this resolution. Medium averages 36 FPS, with a minimum of 30 FPS and a maximum of 41 FPS. High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 11 FPS, while the gap between Medium and Ultra is 12 FPS, showing that each step up in quality costs roughly a third of the previous preset's performance.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally reaches the 60 FPS threshold, but only on the Low preset. Low averages 71 FPS, which clears the playable mark with a comfortable margin. Medium averages 55 FPS, with a minimum of 47 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS, meaning it dips below the threshold in demanding scenes. High averages 47 FPS, and Ultra averages 37 FPS. The progression from Ultra to Low is a 34 FPS swing, which indicates that the Arc B370 is the dominant bottleneck; the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at this resolution, but the GPU cannot push higher preset levels past the target.

The data shows a consistent pattern: every preset at 4K and 1440p fails to reach 60 FPS, and only the lowest settings at 1080p succeed. The minimum and maximum values recorded only for the Medium preset at each resolution show that frame pacing is relatively stable, with a 6 FPS spread at 1080p, an 11 FPS spread at 1440p, and a 6 FPS spread at 4K. The absence of min/max values for other presets means the database only confirms this stability for Medium, but the averages alone are enough to establish the overall performance tier.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this CPU and GPU pairing at 3408 out of 3696 tested combinations for The Technomancer. That places it in the bottom 8 percent of all tested systems, which is consistent with the measured frame rates. The Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, and its only recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, shows a score of 1184. This is a very low position, and the nearest rival GPUs confirm the company it keeps.

The Arc B370's nearest rivals in the GPU database are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with an average score of 1186 and a delta of -0.2 percent, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 with a delta of -0.5 percent, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 with a delta of -0.7 percent, and the AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168 with a delta of 1.4 percent. These are all legacy or low-power parts, and the Arc B370 is essentially performance-equivalent to them. The delta values are all within 2 percent, meaning none of these GPUs would behave meaningfully differently in this game.

The CPU side is far stronger. The Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE at 17482 with a delta of 0.1 percent, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17614 with a delta of -0.6 percent, the Intel Core 7 150U at 17395 with a delta of 0.6 percent, and the Intel Core i3-14100T at 17648 with a delta of -0.8 percent. In multi-threaded workloads, the 4600G scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 5709 in Cinebench R20 multi-core, which puts it ahead of the small-core rivals listed here. The single-core score of 1919 in Cinebench R23 is also respectable for a Zen 2 part.

The ranking in The Technomancer is not a CPU limitation story. The data shows the 4600G is a mid-tier processor, while the Arc B370 is a bottom-tier graphics part. The combo ranking of 3408 out of 3696 reflects the GPU dragging the system down. In a game like The Technomancer, which is an Action RPG from 2016, the CPU has ample headroom; the recorded frame rates are almost entirely determined by the GPU's fill rate and shader throughput.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The verdict field lists no playable settings at this resolution, and the best settings value is null. The highest average recorded is 26 FPS on Low, which is far below the playable threshold. Even the most aggressive reduction in quality cannot make this resolution viable.

At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies. No playable settings are listed, and the best settings value is null. The Low preset averages 47 FPS, which is the closest any setting comes to the threshold, but it still misses by 13 FPS. The data indicates that even reducing to Low cannot bridge the gap at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only playable option. The verdict field lists Low as the playable setting, with an average FPS of 71 at best settings. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by 11 FPS, which is a modest but real margin. Medium falls short at 55 FPS average, and its minimum of 47 FPS shows that it would be noticeably below target in busy scenes. High and Ultra are further down at 47 FPS and 37 FPS respectively.

The practical advice from the data is straightforward: if you want to play The Technomancer on this hardware at 60 FPS, you must run 1080p with the Low preset. There is no flexibility at higher resolutions, and even at 1080p, only the lowest quality setting works. The gap between Low at 71 FPS and Medium at 55 FPS is 16 FPS, which suggests that the GPU simply does not have enough headroom to handle the additional shading work of the Medium preset while staying above the threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rival CPUs and GPUs in the database give a clear picture of what other hardware would behave similarly in this configuration. On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is bracketed by processors that are within 1 percent of its average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, just 0.1 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6 percent higher. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6 percent lower. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8 percent higher. Any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in The Technomancer when paired with the same GPU, because the game's CPU demands are modest and all of these parts exceed them.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370 is clustered with much older hardware. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2 percent higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4 percent lower. These are all extremely close to the Arc B370's score of 1184, meaning any of them would deliver essentially the same performance in The Technomancer. The practical implication is that swapping the GPU for any of these alternatives would not change the measured FPS in any meaningful way; the system would still be limited to 1080p Low for 60 FPS.

The CPU and GPU nearest rival lists also reveal the performance imbalance in this pairing. The CPU is a modern 6-core, 12-thread Zen 2 part with a 71st percentile ranking, while the GPU is a 5th percentile part that competes with hardware from over a decade ago. The database does not record a separate CPU-bound or GPU-bound test for this game, but the benchmark scores and the FPS scaling across presets make the bottleneck clear. If you were building a system with similar behavior, you would pair any of the listed rival CPUs with any of the listed rival GPUs and get nearly identical results.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B370 combination can run The Technomancer, but the conditions are narrow. The verdict by resolution is explicit: at 3840x2160, there are no playable settings, and the best settings value is null. At 2560x1440, there are also no playable settings, and the best settings value is null. At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only playable option, with an average FPS of 71 at best settings.

The data supports a clear conclusion. This system clears the 60 FPS threshold only at 1080p with Low quality. Every other resolution and preset combination falls below the playable mark. The 4600G is a capable processor, ranking in the 71st percentile, but the Arc B370 is a 5th percentile GPU that behaves like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 or AMD Radeon HD 7650M. The result is a system that can handle The Technomancer as a low-settings 1080p experience, nothing more.

If you already own this hardware, the game is playable at 1080p Low. If you are choosing parts for a system intended to run The Technomancer at higher quality or resolution, the GPU is the component that must change. The CPU has substantial headroom; the recorded frame rates at 1080p Medium and above show the GPU running out of steam well before the CPU is stressed. The measured data does not support any other interpretation.
