Performance Analysis: The Technomancer on Your System
The Technomancer, an action RPG released on 2016-06-27, was measured with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290K Plus and an Intel Arc B580. The measured frame rates show a clear split across resolutions: 1080p and 1440p offer playable performance, while 4K does not. The CPU sits in the 96th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 68th percentile, suggesting a GPU-bound pairing for this title.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 3840x2160, the data shows no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. High averages 32 FPS, Low averages 49 FPS, Medium averages 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 and maximum of 44, and Ultra averages 25 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 24 FPS, indicating that the GPU's rendering load scales heavily with preset quality. Even the least demanding preset, Low, falls 11 FPS short of the playable threshold, so 4K is effectively out of reach for this combination.
At 2560x1440, High averages 59 FPS, just one frame below the playable threshold. Low averages 90 FPS, Medium averages 69 FPS with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 79, and Ultra averages 46 FPS. Medium is the only preset that comfortably clears 60 FPS, while High misses by a single frame. The Medium preset's minimum of 59 FPS means it occasionally dips just below the threshold, but the average remains solidly playable. Ultra, at 46 FPS, is a 23 FPS drop from Medium, showing that the extra graphical features at Ultra exact a heavy toll.
At 1920x1080, all presets clear 60 FPS. High averages 90 FPS, Low averages 138 FPS, Medium averages 106 FPS with a minimum of 90 and maximum of 121, and Ultra averages 70 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 68 FPS, showing that even at the highest settings the combo maintains headroom. The Medium preset shows the tightest variance among the recorded values, with a 31 FPS range (90 to 121), while Low and Ultra have no min/max data recorded. At this resolution, the system is clearly capable of delivering smooth gameplay across the entire preset ladder.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The Intel Core Ultra 9 290K Plus has an average benchmark score of 84003, placing it in the 96th percentile. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K (avg score 83807, deltaPct 0.2), the AMD EPYC 4584PX (83090, 1.1), the AMD EPYC 9135 (82980, 1.2), and the AMD EPYC 7F72 (85072, -1.3). These deltas are all within 1.3%, meaning a system with any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in this game. The 290K Plus also posts strong synthetic scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 51731 and a single-core score of 7303, but these numbers only confirm that the CPU is not the limiting factor in The Technomancer.
The Intel Arc B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021, placing it in the 68th percentile. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (avg score 23061, deltaPct -0.2), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (22895, 0.6), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (23172, -0.7), and the NVIDIA P106-100 (23249, -1). The RTX 2080 is the closest in raw score, so a system with that GPU would behave almost identically in The Technomancer. The RX 580 2048SP and RTX 3080 are also within 1% of the B580's average score, meaning any of these GPUs would produce similar frame rates at the same settings. The GPU has a launch MSRP of 249 USD.
How This Combo Ranks
In the database of tested combos for The Technomancer, this pairing ranks 2787th out of 3696 combinations. This places it in the lower portion of the pool. The high CPU percentile (96th) does not lift the combo rank because the GPU's 68th percentile and the game's reliance on GPU throughput dominate the result. The rank reflects the GPU's mid-tier position rather than the CPU's top-tier standing. With 3696 total combos, a rank of 2787 means roughly 75% of tested systems perform better, but the measured FPS data shows that this combo still clears 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p on appropriate presets.
The Verdict
Based on the measured data, the system can run The Technomancer at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with presets that clear 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, all four presets (High, Low, Medium, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra averaging 70 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 69 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS; the highest average is 49 FPS at Low. Therefore, the verdict is: playable at 1080p and 1440p, not playable at 4K. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the data shows that the best playable preset at 1440p is Medium (69 FPS) and at 1080p is Ultra (70 FPS).
CPU and GPU Roles
The data shows a clear division of labor. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the limiting factor. Dropping from High (32 FPS) to Low (49 FPS) yields a 17 FPS increase, while the CPU's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 7303 and multi-core score of 51731 (96th percentile) indicate ample headroom. At 1920x1080, the CPU allows Low to hit 138 FPS, but Ultra drops to 70 FPS, showing the GPU's shading and memory bandwidth (456 GB/s) become the constraint as settings rise. The resolution scaling is steep: 1080p Ultra (70 FPS) falls to 1440p Ultra (46 FPS), a 24 FPS drop, and further to 4K Ultra (25 FPS). This pattern confirms that the GPU is the primary bottleneck across all resolutions, while the CPU provides sufficient single-thread and multi-thread performance. The GPU's FP32 throughput of 13.67 TFLOPS and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but the 192-bit memory bus and 456 GB/s bandwidth struggle to sustain 4K frame rates.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no best playable setting. The highest average is 49 FPS at Low, which is below the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 69 FPS (min 59, max 79). At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 70 FPS. These are the optimal settings for each resolution, balancing visual quality against the measured performance data.
