The Technomancer

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the Intel Arc B370 lands at rank 3408 out of 3696 tested combos for The Technomancer. That places this configuration in the bottom 8% of all recorded system matchups, a position driven almost entirely by the graphics side of the equation. The Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 1184 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% behind), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% behind), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% behind), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% ahead). These are legacy mobile and entry-level desktop parts from over a decade ago, which frames the B370 as a very modest performer in absolute terms.

The CPU, by contrast, is far stronger. The Ryzen 7 5700G ranks at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27051. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i9-9900K (27097, 0.2% ahead), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (26936, 0.4% behind), the Intel Core i5-14400T (27166, 0.4% ahead), and the Intel Core i7-1370P (26900, 0.6% behind). In synthetic tests, the 5700G essentially trades blows with these parts, all within a single percentage point of each other. The CPU is clearly not the bottleneck in this pairing; the recorded frame rates in The Technomancer track far more closely with the GPU's low percentile standing than with the CPU's respectable compute scores.

The combination's low rank reflects the severe imbalance: a top-quartile processor harnessed to a bottom-quartile integrated GPU. For a game like The Technomancer, an Action RPG released in 2016, the rendering load falls heavily on the graphics hardware, and the B370's 1280 shading units and 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput are simply insufficient for demanding resolutions. The data shows that this combo cannot reach the 60 FPS playable threshold at 4K or 1440p under any tested preset, and only barely clears it at 1080p on the lowest settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The best recorded result is Low settings at 26 FPS average, followed by Medium at 20 FPS, High at 17 FPS, and Ultra at 13 FPS. None of these come close to the playable threshold, so the database lists no playable settings at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below the 60 FPS target. Low settings deliver 47 FPS average, Medium delivers 36 FPS (with a min of 30 and max of 41), High delivers 31 FPS, and Ultra delivers 24 FPS. Again, no preset crosses the 60 FPS line, so the verdict marks 1440p as unplayable across the board.

At 1920x1080, the story changes. Low settings produce 71 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS threshold with a comfortable margin. Medium settings fall short at 55 FPS average (min 47, max 63), High drops to 47 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 37 FPS. The database identifies Low as the only playable setting at 1080p, with the best average FPS at 71. This is the single configuration where this combo can run the game smoothly, and even then, only at the lowest graphical preset.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals in the database are all older parts with nearly identical 3DMark Steel Nomad scores. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% higher) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% higher) would deliver essentially the same frame rates in The Technomancer. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% higher) is marginally faster, while the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% lower) is slightly slower. In practical terms, all five GPUs cluster within a 2% performance band, so swapping the B370 for any of these would produce nearly identical results: the same unplayable 4K and 1440p outcomes, and the same 1080p Low-only playability.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5700G's nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of its average score. The Intel Core i9-9900K (27097) is essentially a tie, as is the Intel Core i5-14400T (27166). The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (26936) and Intel Core i7-1370P (26900) are marginally behind. Since the game's performance is GPU-limited in this configuration, choosing any of these CPUs instead of the 5700G would not meaningfully change the measured FPS. The bottleneck sits with the Arc B370, not the processor.

For users seeking a comparable overall experience, the data suggests that any system with a similar low-end GPU will land in the same territory: 1080p Low is the ceiling, and anything above that resolution is not viable. The CPU choice matters little within this performance class, as the delta between the 5700G and its nearest rivals is negligible in synthetic benchmarks and would be invisible in actual gameplay given the GPU constraint.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded averages are as follows: Ultra settings yield 13 FPS, High yields 17 FPS, Medium yields 20 FPS with a minimum of 17 and maximum of 23, and Low yields 26 FPS. The gaps between presets are consistent, with each step down in quality adding roughly 3 to 6 FPS. Even the best case, Low at 26 FPS, represents less than half of the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, the averages climb but still fall short: Ultra at 24 FPS, High at 31 FPS, Medium at 36 FPS (min 30, max 41), and Low at 47 FPS. The jump from Medium to Low is the largest single improvement at this resolution, adding 11 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 30 FPS indicates that even this midrange setting experiences significant drops during demanding scenes.

At 1920x1080, the data shows the only playable result in the entire measurement set. Low settings average 71 FPS, which exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by 18%. Medium averages 55 FPS (min 47, max 63), High averages 47 FPS, and Ultra averages 37 FPS. The Medium preset is the closest miss, falling just 5 FPS short of the target on average, though its minimum of 47 FPS makes it a risky choice for consistent smoothness. Low is the clear recommendation, with a 71 FPS average that leaves headroom for demanding moments.

The overall pattern across all resolutions shows that the Arc B370's performance scales predictably with both resolution and settings. The 1080p Low result is the outlier that barely crosses the playability line, while every other combination of resolution and preset lands well below it. The 4K numbers are particularly weak, with even the lowest settings producing a slideshow-like 26 FPS.

The Verdict

Can this PC run The Technomancer? The answer depends entirely on resolution and settings. At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: no playable settings exist. The best recorded average is 26 FPS on Low, which is less than half of the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies: no preset reaches 60 FPS, with Low topping out at 47 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the system becomes viable, but only under a strict condition. The database identifies Low settings as the sole playable configuration, delivering 71 FPS average. This clears the 60 FPS target with a reasonable margin. Medium settings at 1080p average 55 FPS, which misses the threshold by 5 FPS and dips to 47 FPS at the minimum. High and Ultra at 1080p are not viable, averaging 47 and 37 FPS respectively.

The practical verdict is that this combo can run The Technomancer, but only at 1080p with the lowest graphical preset. Users who demand Medium quality or better will need to accept sub-60 FPS performance, and anyone targeting 1440p or 4K will find the experience unplayable by the database's 60 FPS standard. The Ryzen 7 5700G provides ample CPU headroom, but the Intel Arc B370's low percentile ranking (5th among all GPUs) and its benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad define the system's ceiling. This is a 1080p Low machine for this title, and nothing more.
