Performance Analysis: The Technomancer on Your System
How This Combo Ranks
The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks at position 1036 out of 3696 tested combos for The Technomancer. That places this system comfortably in the upper third of all configurations the database has measured for this title. The percentile data reinforces this: the CPU sits at the 77th percentile among all processors, while the GPU lands at the 61st percentile among all graphics cards. The combo's ranking reflects a balanced pairing — neither component is dramatically holding the other back, and the system lands well above the median for this game.
The measured frame rates tell a consistent story. At 1920x1080, even the most demanding preset delivers 99 FPS on average, which is 65% above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The system's strength becomes more apparent at higher resolutions, where it still maintains playable performance at 2560x1440 with Ultra settings at 73 FPS. The only configuration that fails to clear 60 FPS is 4K Ultra, which drops to 47 FPS. This is a machine built for high-refresh 1080p gaming and solid 1440p play, with 4K available only at reduced settings.
CPU and GPU Roles
The data shows a clear shift in which component matters more as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread muscle drives performance. The i5-13400F posts a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3191 and a multi-core score of 22604, which keeps frame rates high even when the GPU is less stressed. Moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p, the average FPS drops from 214 to 99 — a 54% reduction that comes almost entirely from the GPU handling more graphical work while the CPU keeps pace.
At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert itself. The RTX 3070's 5888 shading units and 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth become the limiting factor. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a 54% performance drop (157 to 73 FPS), which mirrors the 1080p pattern but with lower absolute numbers. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 22214 and its 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs suggest it is the component that will first hit its ceiling as resolution climbs.
The 4K results make the GPU's dominance unmistakable. At 3840x2160, the RTX 3070's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus width are stretched thin. The gap between Low (101 FPS) and Ultra (47 FPS) represents a 53% reduction, but the absolute numbers show the GPU struggling to maintain playability at the highest settings. The CPU's benchmark scores — including a 3DMark 16-thread score of 7314 and PassMark multi-thread score of 25032 — remain more than sufficient at this resolution; the bottleneck is purely graphical.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, the system can run Ultra settings at 99 FPS on average. This is the most demanding preset available, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a 65% margin. Players can enable every graphical option without concern.
The 2560x1440 resolution also supports Ultra settings, with an average of 73 FPS. This is 22% above the playability threshold. The margin is comfortable but not excessive, so those seeking higher refresh rates might prefer High settings at 97 FPS.
At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, delivering 63 FPS on average. This is a narrow 5% margin above the threshold. Medium settings provide a safer 72 FPS average with minimums recorded at 61 FPS, while Low pushes to 101 FPS for those who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity. Ultra at 4K falls to 47 FPS and is not recommended for smooth gameplay.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25284 in the average benchmark — effectively identical to the i5-13400F's 25292 (0% delta). The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25362, placing it 0.3% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D matches at 25365, also 0.3% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H trails by 0.4% with a score of 25201. For The Technomancer, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance, meaning the choice between them comes down to platform preferences rather than measurable gaming differences.
On the GPU side, the RTX 3070's closest competitors are the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, which scores 17083 against the RTX 3070's 17208 — a 0.7% deficit. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 scores 17037 (1% behind), and the AMD Radeon HD 7970M scores 17019 (1.1% behind). The NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 17468, which is 1.5% ahead. These delta values are all within a narrow band, so users with any of these GPUs should expect very similar frame rates in this game. The practical takeaway is that the RTX 3070 sits in a performance tier where small percentage differences do not translate into perceptible gameplay changes at typical settings.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run The Technomancer at 4K resolution?
A: Yes, but with limitations. At 3840x2160, the system achieves 63 FPS on High settings, 72 FPS on Medium, and 101 FPS on Low. Ultra settings drop to 47 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold.
Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gaming?
A: The system handles Ultra settings at 2560x1440 with an average of 73 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available at this resolution and still clears the 60 FPS threshold.
Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals?
A: The i5-13400F's average benchmark score of 25292 is within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, Intel Core 5 120, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, and AMD Ryzen 7 6800H. All four rivals fall within a 0.3% to 0.4% delta, making them functionally equivalent for this game.
Q: Is the GPU or CPU more important for this game at 1080p?
A: At 1920x1080, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3191) helps maintain high frame rates, but the GPU still dictates the scaling between presets. The 54% drop from Low to Ultra settings at this resolution shows the RTX 3070 is the primary factor in visual quality trade-offs.
Q: What frame rates can I expect at Medium settings across all resolutions?
A: At 1920x1080, Medium settings deliver 152 FPS on average with minimums of 129 FPS. At 2560x1440, the average is 111 FPS with minimums of 95 FPS. At 3840x2160, the average is 72 FPS with minimums of 61 FPS.
Q: Does the system maintain 60 FPS at 4K Ultra settings?
A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops to 47 FPS, which is 22% below the 60 FPS playability threshold.
The Verdict
This PC can run The Technomancer at all three tested resolutions, but the experience varies by settings. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS at every preset, with Ultra delivering 99 FPS on average. At 2560x1440, all four presets also stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 73 FPS being the recommended maximum. At 3840x2160, the system maintains playability through High settings (63 FPS), but Ultra falls short at 47 FPS.
The data indicates this is a capable 1440p gaming machine for this title, with headroom for high refresh rates at 1080p. The 4K experience is viable only when the user is willing to compromise on settings. Given the game's 2016 release and the hardware's modern specifications, the i5-13400F and RTX 3070 combination proves more than adequate for The Technomancer in most scenarios. The only configuration that fails the 60 FPS test is 4K Ultra, and even that remains playable at 47 FPS for those who prioritize visual fidelity over smoothness. Overall, this combo delivers a strong performance profile for an Action RPG of this era, with the 1440p Ultra experience standing out as the sweet spot.
