Interestingly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38,135, which is 1.3% higher, making it the only rival in this group that would provide a measurable, though still modest, performance uplift. In The Technomancer, any of these GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percent of each other, meaning users with these alternatives would see nearly identical results at the same settings.

The percentile rankings reinforce this picture. The CPU sits at the 78th percentile among all tested CPUs, while the GPU is at the 81st percentile among GPUs. These are both strong positions, and the consistency between them suggests the combo is well-balanced for this title. The system's overall benchmark average of 26,324 for the CPU and 37,648 for the GPU indicates a pairing where the GPU is the more dominant component, which aligns with The Technomancer's nature as a visually driven Action RPG.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3,696 tested combinations, this CPU-GPU pairing ranks 934th for The Technomancer. This places it in the top 25% of all tested systems, a strong result that confirms its high-end positioning. The rank reflects the combined capability of the Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4070, and the data indicates this system outperforms the vast majority of configurations in the database for this specific game.

The percentile placement is notable because it shows the system is not merely adequate but genuinely capable. With the CPU at the 78th percentile and the GPU at the 81st percentile, the combo's rank of 934 out of 3,696 is slightly lower than what the individual component percentiles might suggest. This is likely because The Technomancer is more GPU-bound at higher resolutions, and the RTX 4070's performance ceiling becomes the limiting factor at 4K. At lower resolutions, the CPU's strong single-thread performance helps push frame rates higher, but the combo rank reflects performance across all tested scenarios, including the demanding 4K Ultra preset where the system drops below 60 FPS.

The data shows a clear progression: at 1080p, the system achieves over 118 FPS on Ultra settings, which is exceptional. At 1440p, Ultra still holds at 78.4 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The challenge emerges at 4K, where Ultra drops to 43.8 FPS and even High settings only reach 54.7 FPS. This pattern explains why the combo rank is in the top quarter rather than the top 10%—the system's 4K Ultra performance is the weakest link in an otherwise stellar showing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across the board. Low settings produce 230.3 FPS, Medium reaches 176.5 FPS, High hits 150.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 118.8 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system has enormous headroom, with even the most demanding preset nearly doubling the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected impact of increased resolution. Low settings yield 148.6 FPS, Medium drops to 118.9 FPS, High manages 100.6 FPS, and Ultra still holds at 78.4 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a reduction of roughly 30-35% across all settings, which is typical for a GPU-bound title. The system maintains high frame rates throughout, with Ultra remaining well above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings still deliver a smooth 81.9 FPS, and Medium maintains 67.1 FPS, but High drops to 54.7 FPS and Ultra falls to 43.8 FPS. The 4K results show a steeper decline, with the gap between Medium and High being particularly pronounced at 12.4 FPS. This suggests that the RTX 4070's 12 GB of memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors at 4K, where the higher resolution demands more from the GPU's 64 ROPs and 184 TMUs.

The min and max FPS data is not available in the measured results, so the analysis relies on average frame rates. However, the consistency across settings and resolutions indicates stable performance, with no anomalies suggesting stuttering or frame drops.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run The Technomancer, and the data confirms it handles the game with ease at most settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra delivering 118.8 FPS. This is more than double the playable threshold, providing a highly responsive experience. At 2560x1440, the system again clears 60 FPS on all presets, with Ultra at 78.4 FPS ensuring a smooth experience even in demanding scenes.

The situation at 3840x2160 is more nuanced. Low and Medium settings both clear 60 FPS, with 81.9 FPS and 67.1 FPS respectively. However, High and Ultra fall below the threshold, with 54.7 FPS and 43.8 FPS. For 4K gaming, the verdict is that the system is playable, but only if the user is willing to select Medium or Low presets. The 67.1 FPS at Medium is a solid result for 4K, but it falls short of the "Ultra at 4K" experience that higher-end GPUs might provide.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p and 1440p are fully playable on Ultra, while 4K requires a compromise to Medium settings for a consistent 60 FPS experience. The data supports the conclusion that this is a high-end system for this game, but not one that can max out 4K without sacrificing smoothness.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals which component matters more for The Technomancer. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 230.3 FPS on Low settings, which is extraordinarily high. This indicates that the CPU, with its strong single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 999 and passmark single-thread score of 3,910), is more than capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 5 7600's 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, provide ample processing power for this Action RPG's game logic and physics.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop by approximately 35% across all settings, suggesting the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. The RTX 4070's 5,888 shading units and 184 tensor cores handle the increased pixel count, but the 100.6 FPS at High and 78.4 FPS at Ultra show the GPU is working harder. This is a classic GPU-bound scenario where the CPU has headroom to spare.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes even more dominant. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steeper, with Ultra falling from 78.4 FPS to 43.8 FPS, a 44% reduction. This 4K performance is limited by the RTX 4070's memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s and its 192-bit bus width, which struggle to feed the 8.3 million pixels at 4K. The CPU, meanwhile, shows it is not the limiting factor—even at 4K Low, the system achieves 81.9 FPS, proving the processor can handle the game's demands at any resolution.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the system is CPU-bound in the sense that the CPU's performance ceiling prevents even higher frame rates, but the GPU is still capable of over 230 FPS. At 1440p and above, the GPU is clearly the limiting component. This is typical for a modern AAA title, where resolution scaling places increasing demands on the graphics card.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS, providing the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 118.8 FPS, which is the best settings choice. This is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold, so users can enable maximum settings with confidence. The High preset at 150.4 FPS and Medium at 176.5 FPS offer even higher frame rates, but Ultra provides the best visual fidelity while still maintaining a massive frame rate cushion.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again delivers the best balance, achieving 78.4 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by a healthy margin, making it the recommended choice for maximum visual quality. The High preset at 100.6 FPS would be preferred for users with high-refresh-rate monitors, but Ultra is the best settings pick for those prioritizing image quality while staying above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the best choice, delivering 67.1 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold. The Low preset at 81.9 FPS offers higher frame rates, but Medium provides significantly better visuals while still maintaining smooth gameplay. High and Ultra both fall below 60 FPS, so they are not recommended for 4K play. The data shows that for 4K, users should select Medium to achieve the best balance of visual quality and performance.
