The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a mixed set of results in The Technomancer, with performance scaling predictably across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combination is thoroughly capable, while 2560x1440 requires settings discipline, and 3840x2160 falls short of the 60 FPS threshold across all tested presets. The data below breaks down the exact measured frame rates, compares nearby hardware alternatives, and identifies the optimal settings for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination covers three resolutions and four preset levels, with average frames per second recorded for each configuration. No minimum or maximum frame rate data is available in the dataset, so the analysis relies entirely on average FPS figures.

At 3840x2160, the results are consistently below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Low preset produces an average of 49.5 FPS, which is the highest result at this resolution. Medium drops to 36.4 FPS, High falls further to 33.6 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 22.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, representing a 54.1% reduction in average frame rate when moving from the least demanding to the most demanding preset. Even the best-case scenario at 4K leaves nearly 11 FPS of headroom missing to reach 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the picture improves considerably. The Low preset delivers 88.3 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold with ample margin. Medium achieves 68.9 FPS, still above the playability line. High drops to 57.7 FPS, just 2.3 FPS short of 60, and Ultra falls to 46.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 47.2% performance penalty, which is slightly less severe than at 4K but still significant. The data indicates that 1440p users have two viable preset options (Low and Medium) that maintain smooth gameplay.

At 1920x1080, the combination performs strongly across the board. The Low preset reaches 134.1 FPS, Medium hits 103.8 FPS, High achieves 92 FPS, and even Ultra stays above the threshold at 69.8 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 48% in relative terms, but every preset clears 60 FPS, making this resolution fully playable at all settings. The Ultra preset's 69.8 FPS average provides a comfortable cushion above the playability threshold, with roughly 10 FPS of buffer before hitting the 60 FPS line.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have nearby rivals based on average benchmark scores, and these alternatives would likely produce similar gameplay results in The Technomancer.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 5600, the nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V has an average score of 20454, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen's 20468. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425, a 0.2% deficit. The AMD EPYC 9454P also scores 20422, matching the 8500G's 0.2% delta. The AMD EPYC 7713 trails slightly at 20363, a 0.5% gap. These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these processors would deliver functionally identical CPU-bound performance in this game. The Ryzen 5 5600 sits at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, indicating it outperforms roughly three-quarters of tested processors.

For the Intel Arc B580, the nearest rivals show more variance. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061, which is 0.2% higher than the Arc's 23021. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, a 0.6% deficit. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172, a 0.7% advantage. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, a 1% edge. These deltas are still small, with the largest gap being just 1%. The Arc B580 sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs, slightly lower than the CPU's percentile ranking. Systems built with any of these rival GPUs alongside the Ryzen 5 5600 would likely produce frame rates within a few percentage points of the measured results, assuming no other bottlenecks.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS varies by resolution, based on the measured data.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 69.8 FPS, making it the best playable option. This is the highest quality setting tested, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by nearly 10 frames per second. Users at 1080p can run the game at maximum settings without compromising smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers 68.9 FPS, which is the best setting that stays above 60 FPS. High falls short at 57.7 FPS, so Medium represents the ceiling for playable quality at this resolution. The 68.9 FPS figure provides a modest buffer of 8.9 FPS above the threshold, but it is noticeably lower than the 1080p Ultra result.

At 3840x2160, no preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. The best available setting is Low at 49.5 FPS, which falls 10.5 FPS short of playability. The verdict data confirms that no playable settings exist at 4K for this combination, meaning users must either lower the resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance.

The Verdict

This PC can run The Technomancer, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution. At 1920x1080, the answer is a clear yes: all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — maintain average frame rates above 60 FPS, with Ultra delivering 69.8 FPS. This is the only resolution where the full range of settings is playable.

At 2560x1440, the answer is a qualified yes. The Low preset (88.3 FPS) and Medium preset (68.9 FPS) both clear the 60 FPS threshold, but High (57.7 FPS) and Ultra (46.6 FPS) do not. Users targeting 1440p should stick to Medium or lower for consistent smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the answer is no. The highest average frame rate across all presets is 49.5 FPS on Low, which falls short of 60 FPS. Ultra manages only 22.7 FPS, which is likely to feel stuttery and unresponsive. The data shows that 4K gaming is not viable with this hardware combination in this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU divide responsibilities in The Technomancer. At 1920x1080, the CPU likely plays a more significant role, as the GPU has enough headroom to push frame rates well above 100 FPS on lower presets. The jump from Low (134.1 FPS) to Ultra (69.8 FPS) shows a 64.3 FPS difference, which is the largest absolute drop across all resolutions. This suggests that as preset quality increases, the GPU workload grows substantially, but at 1080p the CPU must keep up with high frame rates, making both components relevant.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more dominant. The Low preset drops to 88.3 FPS, a 45.8 FPS reduction compared to 1080p Low. This indicates that the additional pixel count is taxing the GPU more heavily, while the CPU has less influence on the upper frame rates. The Medium preset at 68.9 FPS shows a similar pattern, and the High and Ultra presets fall below 60 FPS, confirming that GPU throughput is the limiting factor at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost entirely responsible for performance. Even the Low preset only reaches 49.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 22.7 FPS. The 4K resolution quadruples the pixel count compared to 1080p, placing immense pressure on the Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS of compute throughput. The CPU's role diminishes further, as frame rates are too low for processor speed to matter meaningfully. The data shows that this game becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution increases, which is typical for visually demanding titles.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested hardware combinations in The Technomancer, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and Intel Arc B580 ranks 2831st out of 3696 combos. This places it in the lower half of the distribution, at approximately the 23rd percentile of tested systems. The ranking reflects the combination's inability to achieve 60 FPS at 4K and its limited preset options at 1440p, despite strong 1080p performance.

The rank is influenced by both components' individual standings: the CPU sits at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs. However, the game's apparent GPU intensity at higher resolutions means the graphics card's placement likely carries more weight in the final ranking. The 2831st position indicates that many other combinations deliver higher average frame rates across the tested configurations, particularly at 1440p and 4K where this setup struggles.
