Performance Analysis: The Technomancer on Your System
FAQ
Q: Can this system run The Technomancer at 4K?
A: Yes, but not at the highest settings. At 3840x2160, the combo delivers 79.5 FPS on Low, 63.2 FPS on Medium, 50 FPS on High, and 38.7 FPS on Ultra. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, so Low and Medium are the only settings that clear it.
Q: What is the best 1440p preset for this hardware?
A: Ultra is fully playable at 2560x1440 with an average of 74.8 FPS. That makes Ultra the best preset that stays above 60 FPS at this resolution.
Q: How does the RTX 3080 compare to its nearest rivals in the database?
A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 23172. Its closest rival, the NVIDIA P106-100, scores 23249, which is 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 is also 0.3% higher at 23250, while the AMD Radeon RX 6600M and AMD Radeon R9 M290X sit 0.4% higher at 23273 and 23276 respectively. The differences are negligible.
Q: How does the Intel Core i5-10400F compare to CPUs near it in performance?
A: The CPU has an average benchmark score of 14185. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, which is 0.2% lower, and the AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, which is 0.5% lower. The Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, which is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, which is 0.6% higher. All four rivals are within 0.6% of this chip.
Q: Which resolution gives the highest frame rate for this combo?
A: The highest recorded average is 179.9 FPS at 1920x1080 on Low settings. The same resolution on Ultra still reaches 117.1 FPS, which is higher than any preset at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160.
Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this game?
A: The data shows frame rates scale strongly with resolution, which indicates the GPU is the dominant factor. Dropping from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 at High settings reduces the average from 149.7 FPS to 50 FPS, a much larger change than any preset shift at a fixed resolution.
CPU and GPU Roles
The recorded frame rates for The Technomancer show a clear pattern: the GPU carries most of the load, while the CPU's contribution is relatively constant across resolutions. This is typical for a game from this era, where scene complexity and fill rate dominate over draw-call throughput.
At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 62.8 FPS (179.9 down to 117.1). At 2560x1440, the same preset swing costs 70.6 FPS (145.4 down to 74.8). At 3840x2160, the swing is 40.8 FPS (79.5 down to 38.7). The fact that Ultra remains above 60 FPS at both 1080p and 1440p, but collapses to 38.7 FPS at 4K, points directly at the GPU's pixel throughput limits rather than any CPU bottleneck.
Resolution scaling is the strongest signal. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings drops the average from 149.7 FPS to 96.4 FPS, a 35.6% reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High drops it further to 50 FPS, a 48.1% reduction from the 1440p value. If the CPU were the main constraint, these resolution changes would produce much smaller frame rate shifts.
The RTX 3080's specifications support this interpretation. The card has 8704 shading units, 272 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 164.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 465.1 GTexel/s. The 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus delivers 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. These figures scale directly with resolution demands. The Core i5-10400F, by contrast, has 6 cores and 12 threads with a 12 MB shared L3 cache, and its performance profile does not change with resolution.
The 4K Ultra result of 38.7 FPS is the clearest evidence of GPU saturation. Even at 4K Medium, the system only reaches 63.2 FPS, which is just above the playable threshold. The CPU's single-thread performance, measured at 688 in 3dmark_single_thread and 1451 in Cinebench R23 single-core, is more than adequate for a 2016 Action RPG. The database shows that the GPU is the deciding component at every resolution, with the CPU providing a stable foundation that never becomes the weaker link.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, every preset clears 60 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 117.1 FPS. There is no reason to lower settings at this resolution.
At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains playable with an average of 74.8 FPS. High delivers 96.4 FPS, Medium delivers 113 FPS, and Low delivers 145.4 FPS. The best choice for maximum visual quality is Ultra.
At 3840x2160, the situation changes. Ultra falls to 38.7 FPS and High drops to 50 FPS, both below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 63.2 FPS, which is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Low averages 79.5 FPS as a fallback. The verdict data confirms Medium as the best 4K setting.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The database places the Intel Core i5-10400F among a tight cluster of CPUs. The Intel Xeon 6756E is 0.2% lower in average score, the AMD EPYC 7552 is 0.5% lower, the Intel Core 7 160UL is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C is 0.6% higher. Any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in The Technomancer, since the game does not appear to be CPU-limited with this GPU.
The GPU side shows an even tighter grouping. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 has an average benchmark score of 23172. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, which is 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 scores 23250, also 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M scores 23273 and the AMD Radeon R9 M290X scores 23276, both 0.4% higher. These deltas are well within measurement noise, meaning a system with any of these GPUs would produce essentially the same frame rates as the RTX 3080 in this title.
The practical takeaway is that buyers or builders looking at this performance tier have several interchangeable options. The CPU and GPU both sit at the 68th percentile among all parts in the database, and their nearest rivals are all within a fraction of a percent in average scores. Swapping any of these components for a listed alternative would not meaningfully change the playable settings or frame rates reported here.
How This Combo Ranks
The combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 ranks 1185 out of 3696 tested combos in The Technomancer. That places it in the upper third of all systems in the database for this game. Given that this is a 2016 Action RPG, the ranking reflects hardware that is well above the typical requirement. The 68th percentile standing of both the CPU and GPU independently matches the combo's overall position, showing consistent performance across both components.
A rank of 1185 out of 3696 means roughly 2511 tested combinations are slower, while about 1184 are faster. The frame rates at 1080p and 1440p are high enough that the system sits comfortably ahead of the median, but the 4K Ultra result of 38.7 FPS prevents it from breaking into the top tier. Systems with faster GPUs would pull ahead specifically at 4K, where the RTX 3080's pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor.
The ranking is measured, not estimated. The database records actual frame rates for this exact CPU and GPU pairing across all four presets at three resolutions. The data shows a coherent picture: excellent performance at 1080p and 1440p, adequate performance at 4K on Medium, and a clear ceiling at 4K Ultra.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run The Technomancer, but the answer depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra hitting 117.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra at 74.8 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium at 63.2 FPS and Low at 79.5 FPS.
The playable settings list from the verdict data confirms this: 1080p and 1440p allow High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, while 4K only allows Low and Medium. The best 4K setting is Medium at 63.2 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold. High at 4K drops to 50 FPS and Ultra drops to 38.7 FPS, both unplayable by the database's standard.
For a 2016 Action RPG, this system is more than sufficient for mainstream play. The recommended path is Ultra at 1440p for the best combination of visual quality and smoothness, or Medium at 4K for those who prioritize resolution over effects. The 68th percentile ranking for both components, combined with the 1185 out of 3696 combo rank, indicates a balanced system that handles this title with room to spare outside of 4K Ultra.
