Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this system handles The Technomancer across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally fast. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 251.2. Moving to Medium drops this to 196.1, while High settings yield 168.2. The most demanding preset, Ultra, still produces an average of 131.7 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is never CPU or GPU bound in any meaningful way; even the heaviest settings leave substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but scales down predictably. Low settings deliver 166.1 FPS on average, which is still extremely fluid. Medium settings reduce this to 128.7 FPS, and High settings produce 108.7 FPS. The Ultra preset, which can be demanding on both the CPU and GPU, still maintains an average of 83.4 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold, meaning that 1440p Ultra is a fully viable option for this combo.

The 4K results at 3840x2160 show the expected performance hit. Low settings average 89.3 FPS, which is still very playable. Medium settings drop to 68.6 FPS, remaining above the 60 FPS threshold. High settings average 59.8 FPS, which falls just short of the playable mark, and Ultra drags the average down to 48 FPS. The data shows a clear pattern: the RTX 5070’s 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K, but the sheer pixel count at this resolution requires lowering quality settings to maintain fluid gameplay.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the balance of CPU and GPU load shifts across resolutions in The Technomancer. At 1920x1080, the low resolution puts less pressure on the GPU, allowing the Ryzen 5 7500F to drive very high frame rates. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a drop from 251.2 FPS to 131.7 FPS, a 47.6% reduction, which indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as settings increase. However, even at Ultra, the system produces over 130 FPS, suggesting that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution; it has enough single-thread performance — evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 974 — to feed the GPU effectively.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert more dominance. The frame rate drop from Low to Ultra is from 166.1 FPS to 83.4 FPS, a 49.8% reduction, which is slightly larger than at 1080p. This indicates that the RTX 5070 is working harder as the pixel count increases, but the CPU still keeps up. The fact that Ultra remains above 80 FPS shows that neither component is severely overburdened; the system scales smoothly as the workload shifts.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The frame rate drop from Low to Ultra is from 89.3 FPS to 48 FPS, a 46.2% reduction, but the absolute numbers are much lower. The CPU’s role diminishes here because the GPU cannot render frames fast enough to saturate the CPU’s capabilities. The 4K results show that the RTX 5070’s raw throughput — 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 and 482.3 GTexel/s — is the determining factor. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is sufficient even at 4K, as the frame rates are constrained by the GPU’s pixel and texture processing limits, not by the CPU’s ability to issue draw calls.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the recommended setting is the most demanding preset that keeps the average FPS at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 131.7 FPS, so it is the clear choice. This provides the best visual quality without any concern for playability, as even the heaviest settings leave a 71.7 FPS margin above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains the best option, with an average of 83.4 FPS. This is 23.4 FPS above the playable threshold, offering both high visual fidelity and a smooth experience. The data shows that High settings at 108.7 FPS and Medium at 128.7 FPS are also viable, but Ultra is the optimal choice for those seeking maximum quality.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. The Ultra preset at 48 FPS and High at 59.8 FPS both fall below 60 FPS, making them unsuitable. The Medium preset achieves an average of 68.6 FPS, which is above the threshold, making it the best playable setting at this resolution. Low settings at 89.3 FPS are also playable, but Medium offers a significant visual upgrade for a 20.7 FPS cost. Therefore, the recommended configuration is Medium at 4K, Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p, ensuring that the system always maintains fluid frame rates while maximizing visual quality where possible.
