Performance Analysis: The Technomancer on Your System
FAQ
Q: What is the highest preset this combo can run at a stable 60 FPS in The Technomancer at 4K?
A: At 3840x2160, the highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 64.2 FPS. High drops to 53 FPS, and Ultra falls to 42.8 FPS.
Q: Does the Intel Core i5-14400F bottleneck the RTX 4070 at 1080p Ultra?
A: Benchmark data shows the combo reaches 120.9 FPS at 1920x1080 Ultra, while the CPU's single-thread score (PassMark 3701) and multi-thread score (25470) place it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. There is no indication of a CPU bottleneck at this resolution, as the frame rate scales cleanly with GPU load.
Q: How does the RTX 4070 compare to its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 Mobile, in raw compute?
A: The RTX 4070 has an average benchmark score of 37648, while the RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135, a delta of -1.3% (the RTX 4070 is slightly slower). This is within noise, so the two GPUs behave nearly identically in synthetic workloads.
Q: Which resolution offers the largest performance headroom above 60 FPS?
A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo averages 120.9 FPS, which is double the playable threshold. Even at 2560x1440 Ultra, it maintains 78.1 FPS, providing a comfortable margin.
Q: Is the i5-14400F closer to the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U or the Ryzen 7 6800HS in overall CPU performance?
A: The i5-14400F's average benchmark score is 32279. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 32233 (delta +0.1%), and the Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354 (delta -0.2%). The i5 sits almost exactly between the two, with the 6800HS being marginally faster.
Q: What is the only 4K preset that fails to reach 60 FPS?
A: At 3840x2160, High preset averages 53 FPS and Ultra averages 42.8 FPS. Both fall below the 60 FPS threshold, but High is the only preset that misses the target while still being playable at lower frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution
3840x2160 (4K): The most demanding preset that holds 60 FPS is Medium, averaging 64.2 FPS. High drops to 53 FPS, and Ultra is unplayable at 42.8 FPS. Low runs at 81.2 FPS, but Medium provides the best visual quality without crossing below the threshold.
2560x1440 (1440p): All four presets clear 60 FPS, so the best choice is Ultra, which averages 78.1 FPS. High runs at 102.6 FPS, Medium at 115.3 FPS, and Low at 149.3 FPS. Ultra offers the full visual experience while still leaving headroom above the playable mark.
1920x1080 (1080p): The ceiling is Ultra at 120.9 FPS. High hits 152.4 FPS, Medium 176.3 FPS, and Low 231.9 FPS. There is no preset that strains the combo at this resolution; even Ultra nearly doubles the 60 FPS target.

Similar Performance Alternatives
CPU Side: The Intel Core i5-14400F (avg score 32279) is bracketed by four close rivals. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 32233 (delta +0.1%), meaning it will deliver essentially identical frame rates in CPU-bound scenes. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226 (delta +0.2%), also indistinguishable in practice. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS is marginally faster at 32354 (delta -0.2%), while the Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121 (delta +0.5%), slightly slower but still within a half-percent. Any of these CPUs would produce the same gaming performance in The Technomancer.
GPU Side: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (avg score 37648) has four close comparables. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628 (delta +0.1%), making it a near-match for compute tasks. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507 (delta +0.4%), slightly slower but still within 1%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135 (delta -1.3%), placing it a touch faster. The AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37157 (delta +1.3%), the slowest of the group but still within a few percent. For gaming, the RTX 4070 and RTX 4080 Mobile would deliver nearly identical FPS, while the Vega 56 and PRO W6400 would show minor dips in GPU-heavy presets.

The Verdict
This combo can run The Technomancer at 60 FPS in most configurations. At 1920x1080, every preset including Ultra clears the threshold, with Ultra averaging 120.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also pass, with Ultra at 78.1 FPS. The only limitation appears at 3840x2160, where High (53 FPS) and Ultra (42.8 FPS) fail to reach 60 FPS. However, Medium at 4K averages 64.2 FPS, making it the playable ceiling at that resolution.
The data indicates that this system is highly capable for the game's demands. Even at 4K, the gap between Medium and High is only 11.2 FPS, suggesting that a slight settings reduction unlocks the full resolution. At 1440p and below, the combo has substantial headroom, with 1080p Ultra nearly doubling the 60 FPS target. Players with a 4K display should use Medium settings; those with 1440p or 1080p displays can max out the game without concern.

CPU and GPU Roles
The division of labor between the i5-14400F and RTX 4070 shifts with resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU becomes relatively more important because the GPU is not fully stressed. The frame rate climbs from 120.9 FPS at Ultra to 231.9 FPS at Low, a 91.7% increase that reflects GPU scaling. The CPU's single-thread score (3701 PassMark) supports high minimum frame rates, but the overall performance is GPU-limited even at Ultra, since the GPU still delivers 120.9 FPS.
At 2560x1440, the GPU load increases, and the scaling narrows. Ultra drops to 78.1 FPS, while Low reaches 149.3 FPS, a 91.2% difference. The CPU's role remains steady, but the GPU is now the primary limiter at higher presets. The i5-14400F's multi-thread score (25470) ensures it can feed the GPU without stalling, as evidenced by the smooth progression from Medium (115.3 FPS) to High (102.6 FPS).
At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the bottleneck. Ultra averages 42.8 FPS, and Medium hits 64.2 FPS, a 50% difference. The CPU's influence fades because the GPU is fully saturated. The i5-14400F's 10 cores and 16 threads are irrelevant at this resolution; the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth dictate the outcome. The data shows that the GPU matters most at 4K, while the CPU's contribution is more visible at 1080p, though neither component ever becomes a severe constraint.

How This Combo Ranks
The Intel Core i5-14400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination ranks 946th out of 3696 tested combos in The Technomancer. This places it in the 74.4th percentile of all systems tested, meaning it outperforms roughly three-quarters of the field. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU's 83rd percentile standing and the GPU's 81st percentile, both of which are above average.
In practical terms, this combo sits in the upper-middle tier of systems. It is not among the elite 4K Ultra performers, but it comfortably handles 1440p Ultra and 1080p Ultra. The rank of 946 suggests that many higher-end combos (e.g., flagship CPUs paired with top-tier GPUs) will achieve higher frame rates, but the i5-14400F and RTX 4070 together deliver a consistent experience that outclasses a majority of tested hardware. For a game released in 2016, this modern mid-range pairing is more than sufficient, as evidenced by the 120.9 FPS at 1080p Ultra and the 64.2 FPS at 4K Medium.
