The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a clear, resolution-dependent performance story in The Technomancer. The recorded data shows this pairing can handle the game smoothly at mainstream resolutions, but it struggles to maintain a consistent 60 FPS at 4K. This analysis breaks down the measured frames per second, compares the combo against the database’s full list of tested configurations, and identifies the best settings for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains twelve distinct measurement points for this combo, spanning three resolutions and four quality presets. Every result is an average FPS figure, with no minimum or maximum frame time data recorded.

At 1920x1080, the performance envelope is wide. The lowest preset, Low, produces an average of 139.1 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold. Moving to Medium drops the average to 107.4 FPS, still a substantial margin above the target. The High preset records 93.1 FPS, and the most demanding Ultra preset still holds at 72.5 FPS. Every setting at 1080p clears the playable threshold, and the gap from Low to Ultra represents a 48% reduction in average frame rate, which is a typical scaling curve for a GPU-bound scenario.

At 2560x1440, the results tighten considerably. Low settings average 87.7 FPS, which is a strong result. Medium follows at 69.6 FPS, and High sits just above the 60 FPS line at 60.3 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the threshold, recording 48.2 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra here is 45%, similar to the 1080p scaling, but the absolute values mean that only three of the four presets remain playable.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more demanding. Low settings average 52.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 37.2 FPS, High to 32.1 FPS, and Ultra to 23.9 FPS. None of the 4K presets reach the playable threshold, and the scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 54% reduction in performance. The data indicates that 4K is beyond the practical range for this hardware combination in this title, even at the lowest quality settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU pairing against all other tested combinations for The Technomancer. The combo ranks 2740 out of 3696 total configurations, placing it in the lower third of the field. This position reflects the CPU’s mid-range standing and the GPU’s solid but not top-tier classification.

The Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, which scores 17482 and is 0.1% slower, and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, which scores 17614 and is 0.6% faster. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% slower, and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8% faster. These deltas are small, meaning the CPU’s performance class is tightly clustered and minor upgrades in this range would not substantially alter the frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured data reveals how the CPU and GPU workloads shift across resolutions and presets. The Ryzen 5 4600G has six cores and twelve threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its benchmark scores show a single-thread result of 726 in 3dmark and a multicore result of 4889 in 3dmark max threads, indicating a balanced mid-range processor.

The Intel Arc B580 has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units, with a boost clock of 2670 MHz and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. Its 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance places it in a capable tier for modern games.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates range from 139.1 FPS on Low to 72.5 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 23% drop, from Medium to High is a 13% drop, and from High to Ultra is a 22% drop. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary driver, as each preset increases the rendering workload. The CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at these frame rates, as the single-thread and multicore scores are sufficient for this title’s demands.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates range from 87.7 FPS on Low to 48.2 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Medium is 21%, from Medium to High is 13%, and from High to Ultra is 20%. The overall reduction from 1080p to 1440p at the same preset, for example High from 93.1 to 60.3 FPS, represents a 35% loss. This is a classic GPU-bound scenario, where the increased pixel count directly reduces the GPU’s throughput. The CPU’s role remains constant, as the same processor drives the same game logic regardless of resolution.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates range from 52.1 FPS on Low to 23.9 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Medium is 29%, from Medium to High is 14%, and from High to Ultra is 26%. The difference between Low at 1080p and Low at 4K is a 63% reduction, from 139.1 to 52.1 FPS. This severe scaling confirms that the GPU is the overwhelming bottleneck at 4K, as the Arc B580’s 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate cannot keep up with the pixel workload. The CPU’s performance, including its 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, is not the limiting factor here, as the GPU is clearly saturated.

The database’s CPU benchmarks show that the 4600G sits at the 71st percentile, and its nearest rivals all score within 1% of its average. This means that swapping to a slightly stronger CPU in the same tier would not materially change the frame rates. Similarly, the GPU’s nearest rivals are all within 1% of its average score, so the exact choice among these alternatives would produce nearly identical performance.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear from the measured data.

At 1920x1080, this PC runs the game smoothly across all presets. The Ultra setting averages 72.5 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold with a 21% margin. The High preset averages 93.1 FPS, Medium averages 107.4 FPS, and Low averages 139.1 FPS. All four presets are playable, and the Ultra preset offers the best visual quality while maintaining a playable frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the combo is playable on High, Medium, and Low settings. The High preset averages 60.3 FPS, which is just above the threshold. Medium averages 69.6 FPS, and Low averages 87.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 48.2 FPS is not playable. For users with a 1440p monitor, High settings provide the best balance of quality and performance, but the margin is thin.

At 3840x2160, the combo cannot run the game at a playable frame rate on any setting. The best result is 52.1 FPS on Low, which is 13% below the threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind. Users with a 4K display would need to lower the resolution or upgrade the GPU to achieve a playable experience.

Overall, the Ryzen 5 4600G and Arc B580 combination is a capable 1080p and entry-level 1440p solution for The Technomancer. It delivers a fully playable experience at 1080p with all settings maxed out, and it handles 1440p at high quality settings. The 4K resolution is not viable, as the GPU lacks the raw throughput to maintain the 60 FPS target.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals in the database provide a sense of what other hardware would behave similarly to this combo.

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average benchmark score of 17482, which is 0.1% lower than the 4600G’s 17507. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6% higher. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% lower, and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8% higher. All four of these processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in The Technomancer, as the performance deltas are all under 1%. Users upgrading from or to any of these CPUs would see no meaningful difference in this game.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP has an average score of 23061, 0.2% higher than the Arc B580’s 23021. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, 0.6% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172, 0.7% higher, and the NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, 1.0% higher. These GPUs are all within a 1.7% performance band, so any of them would deliver frame rates within a few frames per second of the Arc B580. The RTX 2080 and RTX 3080 are particularly notable, as they are older high-end cards that now perform at the same level as this newer mid-range Intel GPU.

In practical terms, a system with any of these CPU or GPU alternatives would land in the same ranking tier, around 2740 out of 3696 combos. The 1080p Ultra result would stay near 72.5 FPS, and the 1440p High result would remain close to 60.3 FPS. The 4K results would still fall below the playable threshold. The data confirms that this performance class is tightly packed, and the choice among these alternatives comes down to other factors such as power draw, driver support, or platform features, rather than raw frame rates in The Technomancer.
