High at 1080p drops to 80 FPS average, while Ultra at 1080p sits at 62 FPS average, which is the only 1080p preset without min or max values recorded.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers step down noticeably. Low at 1440p averages 79 FPS, which matches the 1080p High result exactly. Medium at 1440p averages 61 FPS, with a minimum of 52 FPS and a maximum of 70 FPS. High at 1440p averages 52 FPS, while Ultra at 1440p falls to 41 FPS average. The 1440p results show a consistent 18 to 21 FPS drop compared to the same presets at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes marginal. Low at 4K averages 44 FPS, Medium averages 33 FPS with a minimum of 28 FPS and maximum of 39 FPS, High averages 29 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. The 4K results show a steep decline from 1440p, with the Low preset dropping 35 FPS and the High preset dropping 23 FPS when moving up in resolution. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 22 FPS, while at 1080p the same gap is 59 FPS, indicating that resolution scaling compresses the difference between presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset remains playable with an average of 62 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding preset that clears the playable line at this resolution. The High preset at 80 FPS and Medium at 93 FPS also exceed the threshold, but Ultra offers the highest visual quality while still maintaining playability.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the best option that stays at or above 60 FPS, averaging 61 FPS. The minimum recorded for Medium at 1440p is 52 FPS, which means there will be moments below the threshold, but the average remains playable. Low at 1440p averages 79 FPS and is also playable, but Medium provides better visual quality while just clearing the 60 FPS average. High at 1440p falls short at 52 FPS average, and Ultra at 41 FPS is well below playable.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS average. The closest is Low at 44 FPS, followed by Medium at 33 FPS, High at 29 FPS, and Ultra at 22 FPS. The verdict data confirms that 4K has no playable settings for this combination. Users targeting 4K would need to accept frame rates well below the playable threshold or reduce resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with Intel Arc B570 combination at rank 2972 out of 3696 tested combos for The Technomancer. This positioning puts it in the lower portion of the overall distribution, specifically around the 19.6 percentile of tested configurations. The rank reflects that the majority of tested combos deliver higher performance in this title.

The CPU component itself sits at the 84th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34260. This indicates the Ryzen 7 3700X is a strong processor in general compute tasks.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured data reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities across resolutions in The Technomancer. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 121 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 62 FPS. This 59 FPS spread between presets at 1080p indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint, as changing quality settings directly scales the rendering workload. The CPU has enough headroom at this resolution to feed the GPU at all preset levels, since even the most demanding preset clears the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the same preset progression shows a narrower spread: Low at 79 FPS, Medium at 61 FPS, High at 52 FPS, and Ultra at 41 FPS. The 38 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is smaller than at 1080p, which is expected because the GPU becomes increasingly saturated as pixel count rises. The Medium preset at 61 FPS average, with a minimum of 52 FPS, shows that the GPU is working harder relative to 1080p, but the CPU still keeps up.

At 3840x2160, the spread narrows further: Low at 44 FPS, Medium at 33 FPS, High at 29 FPS, and Ultra at 22 FPS, a 22 FPS gap between Low and Ultra. The diminishing spread between presets at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is now the dominant bottleneck. At 4K, even the Low preset cannot reach 60 FPS, confirming that the Arc B570 lacks the raw throughput for this resolution in this title, regardless of CPU capability.

The scaling between resolutions at the same preset tells a similar story. For Medium, the progression is 93 FPS at 1080p, 61 FPS at 1440p, and 33 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop of 32 FPS and the 1440p to 4K drop of 28 FPS show that pixel count increases affect the GPU roughly proportionally. The CPU role becomes more visible at 1080p Low, where 121 FPS is achieved, a result that likely approaches the engine's frame rate ceiling for this processor. The recorded data does not include a frame rate cap, but the 121 FPS figure at 1080p Low is the highest measurement in the set, suggesting the CPU can sustain high frame rates when GPU load is low.
