The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that this system can run The Technomancer at 60 FPS or higher at both 1080p and 1440p under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, all four tested presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with the Ultra preset averaging 62 FPS. At 2560x1440, only the Low and Medium presets are playable, with Medium averaging 61 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the playable threshold, so 4K gaming is not viable with this hardware.

The verdict by resolution confirms that 1080p is the primary resolution for this combination, offering full preset flexibility. At 1440p, the system is playable but requires a compromise on visual quality, as the High and Ultra presets fall below 60 FPS. The 4K results are uniformly below threshold, with the best case being 44 FPS on Low. For users targeting 60 FPS, the system is reliable at 1080p on any setting and at 1440p only on Medium or lower.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, there is no preset that achieves a 60 FPS average, so no recommended setting exists for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is Medium, which produces an average of 61 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold, though the minimum FPS of 52 indicates some frames will dip below the target.

At 1920x1080, the best playable setting is Ultra, which produces an average of 62 FPS. This is the highest preset tested at this resolution, and it clears the playability threshold by a small margin. The High preset offers more headroom at 80 FPS, but Ultra is the maximum visual quality that remains playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2972 out of 3696 tested combos for The Technomancer. This places the pairing in the lower half of the benchmark database, indicating that while it can run the game at playable frame rates at lower resolutions, it is not a high performer relative to other tested configurations. The 1080p results are competitive with many systems, but the 4K performance is weak, which drags the overall rank down. The measured FPS data confirms that this combo is better suited to 1080p gaming than to higher resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the CPU and GPU contributions shift across resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the system shows a wide spread between presets, from 121 FPS on Low to 62 FPS on Ultra, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck as settings increase. The CPU's single-thread and multi-thread scores are strong enough to keep up with the GPU at this resolution, as even the Ultra preset maintains a playable average.

At 1440p, the scaling becomes steeper. The difference between Low and Ultra grows from 59 FPS at 1080p to 38 FPS at 1440p, showing that the GPU workload increases significantly. The CPU continues to provide sufficient performance, as the frame rates are still determined by the preset level rather than being CPU-capped. However, the High and Ultra presets fall below 60 FPS, indicating that the GPU is now the limiting factor.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. The frame rates compress into a narrow range from 44 FPS on Low to 22 FPS on Ultra, and the CPU has little influence on the outcome. The GPU's 10 GB memory and 160-bit bus, along with its 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, are insufficient for the pixel load at 3840x2160. The data shows that this game scales primarily with GPU performance at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains adequate headroom across all tested settings.
