The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination ranks 120th out of 3,696 tested combos for The Technomancer, placing it in the top 3.2% of all systems evaluated for this title. This is a formidable pairing that sits well above the median performer, though its percentile ranking for the CPU (78th) and GPU (88th) suggests other factors, such as game-specific optimization, keep it from the absolute top of the chart. The data indicates that this combo delivers a level of performance that will comfortably handle the game’s demands, with the measured frames per second (FPS) showing headroom across all tested resolutions and presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 120 out of 3,696 places it in the 96.8th percentile of all tested combinations, a position that underscores its high-end status. This is not a marginal performer; the data shows a system that is decisively above the typical gaming rig. The CPU’s percentile of 78 against all CPUs and the GPU’s percentile of 88 against all GPUs both contribute to this strong showing, but the game’s engine appears to scale in a way that rewards the GPU’s immense compute capacity more than the CPU’s strong multi-threaded output.

When interpreting the rank, it is essential to consider that 3,696 combos is a vast pool, and being in the top 120 means this system outpaces the overwhelming majority of hardware pairings for The Technomancer. The average benchmark scores for the components—26,324 for the CPU and 60,347 for the GPU—are exceptionally high, which aligns with the combo’s leading position. The measured FPS data reinforces this: at 1080p, the lowest average FPS recorded is 168.1 (Ultra preset), which is nearly three times the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 4K, even the most demanding Ultra preset yields an average of 62.7 FPS, just above the threshold, indicating that the system is at the edge of maximum fidelity at that resolution but still playable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Technomancer is a title where the GPU’s role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises, but the CPU still holds relevance at lower settings. The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 278.6 FPS, while at 4K with the same Low settings, it drops to 120.1 FPS. This 56.9% reduction in performance when moving from 1080p to 4K illustrates the resolution scaling burden, which is primarily shouldered by the graphics card. The RTX 4090’s 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are clearly sufficient for the game’s textures, but the compute load at higher resolutions is the limiting factor.

Conversely, the CPU’s influence is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p, the gap between Low (278.6 FPS) and Ultra (168.1 FPS) is 110.5 FPS, a 39.7% drop. This delta is driven by the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU at high frame rates; the Ryzen 5 7600’s 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, provide enough single-thread performance to keep up, but the game’s draw calls and physics calculations at Ultra settings create a CPU-bound scenario. At 1440p, the difference narrows, with Low at 215.1 FPS and Ultra at 108.9 FPS, a 49.4% reduction, showing the GPU starting to take over. At 4K, the Low-to-Ultra gap shrinks further to 57.4 FPS (120.1 vs 62.7), a 47.8% difference, confirming that the GPU is the dominant component at this resolution.

The scaling between presets is consistent: Medium settings at 1440p yield 167.3 FPS, while High yields 139.7 FPS, showing a 16.5% performance cost for the higher quality. This pattern indicates that the RTX 4090 has ample headroom to spare, and the CPU is only a secondary consideration at high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 278.6 FPS, which is a massive 364.3% above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings follow at 254.2 FPS, a 323.7% margin, while High settings reach 215.1 FPS, a 258.5% margin. Ultra settings are the most demanding, yielding 168.1 FPS, which is still 180.2% above the playable threshold. The data shows no min or max FPS values, so only averages are available, but the consistency across settings suggests a highly capable system.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptional. Low settings average 215.1 FPS, which is 258.5% above the threshold. Medium settings drop to 167.3 FPS, a 178.8% margin, and High settings yield 139.7 FPS, a 132.8% margin. Ultra settings at this resolution produce 108.9 FPS, which is 81.5% above the 60 FPS threshold. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 49.4% reduction in performance, indicating that the GPU is handling the increased pixel count efficiently.

At 3840x2160, the system still clears the playable threshold at every preset. Low settings average 120.1 FPS, which is 100.2% above the threshold. Medium settings yield 91.7 FPS, a 52.8% margin, and High settings reach 74.9 FPS, a 24.8% margin. Ultra settings are the most taxing, producing 62.7 FPS, which is only 4.5% above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the only scenario where the system approaches the limit, but it remains playable. The data shows a consistent scaling pattern: from Low to Ultra at 4K, the performance drops by 47.8%, which is less severe than at 1440p (49.4%) and 1080p (39.7%), highlighting the GPU’s dominance at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run The Technomancer at all tested resolutions and presets, with every configuration clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, achieving 168.1 FPS, which is far above the threshold and provides a smooth experience. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are also the best choice, with an average of 108.9 FPS, ensuring high refresh rate gameplay. At 3840x2160, the system can run Ultra settings at 62.7 FPS, which is just above the threshold, but the data suggests that High settings (74.9 FPS) offer a more comfortable margin for consistent frame times. The verdict by resolution is clear: all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at every resolution, with the best visual fidelity available at Ultra in all cases.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (26,274, a 0.2% difference), the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (26,402, a -0.3% difference), the Intel Core i9-11900KF (26,212, a 0.4% difference), and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (26,187, a 0.5% difference). These processors would behave nearly identically to the Ryzen 5 7600 in The Technomancer, as the performance delta is within 0.5% in either direction. Users with these CPUs can expect similar CPU-bound frame rates, particularly at 1080p with lower presets.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the Intel Arc Pro A60 (60,326, a 0% difference), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (60,140, a 0.3% difference), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (61,896, a -2.5% difference), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (58,657, a 2.9% difference). The RTX 4090’s closest match is the Arc Pro A60, which has an identical average score, meaning it would produce nearly the same FPS in this game. The Radeon Pro Vega 48 is also very close, with a 0.3% difference, while the Pro W6600M is 2.5% faster and the PRO V710 is 2.9% slower. These alternatives would deliver comparable frame rates, though the RTX 4090’s 24 GB VRAM provides more headroom for future titles.
