The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (6 cores, 12 threads, base 3.4 GHz, boost 3.9 GHz, 65W TDP) paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (8 GB GDDR6X, 608.3 GB/s bandwidth, 6144 shading units) yields a distinct measured performance profile in The Technomancer, an Action RPG released in 2016. The benchmark data covers 1920×1080, 2560×1440, and 3840×2160 with Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets, and each data point was recorded under real gameplay conditions. The results show how this combo handles a late-2010s title at both current-gen resolution targets and original launch-era settings.

Resolution Scaling

The most immediate takeaway from the measured FPS is the steep drop-off as resolution increases. At the High preset, the average framerate goes from 132 FPS (1920×1080) to 86 FPS (2560×1440), and finally to 47 FPS at 4K. The gap between each pixel count is not uniform: moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average by 46 FPS, while moving from 1440p to 4K reduces it by 39 FPS. That might suggest resolution is the primary stressor, but the 4K result of 47 FPS indicates a substantial GPU load that might exceed the card’s comfort zone. At 4K, even the Low preset reaches an average of 72 FPS, which is the only preset above 60 at that resolution. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 37 FPS, which is far below a playable threshold for many users, even if the game is not action-demanding.

The scaling is also visible from Low to Ultra. At 1080p, the gap from Low (161 FPS) to Ultra (103 FPS) is 58 FPS, while at 4K, Low (72 FPS) versus Ultra (37 FPS) is a 35 FPS gap. The relative reduction is larger at high resolution, which points to the GPU becoming the primary limiter as pixel count climbs. At 1440p, the measured average FPS are 131 (Low), 101 (Medium), 86 (High), and 67 (Ultra). These numbers indicate that the RTX 3070 Ti still has enough headroom to push beyond 60 FPS on High, but barely does so on Ultra. The resolution scaling suggests that at 1440p the bottleneck is still the GPU, but the CPU can keep up with the frame pacing. At 4K, the GPU remains the dominating factor; the CPU is unlikely to be the bottleneck given the dramatic drop with resolution. The fact that the 2600 is a six-core/twelve-thread CPU with a 75th percentile rank across all CPUs supports the notion that it provides sufficient logic to avoid crippling frame times, allowing the GPU to show what it can do.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 uses 6 cores and 12 threads, based on the Zen (Zen+) microarchitecture, fabricated on 12 nm. Its base clock of 3.4 GHz and boost 3.9 GHz are modest by today’s standard, but they deliver solid single-threaded performance for a game released in 2016. The CPU’s PassMark single-thread score is 2239 and its Geekbench single-core score is 1154, placing it in the upper midrange. The multi-thread performance is equally respectable: PassMark multi-thread score approaches 13,160, Cinebench R15 multi 1248, and Geekbench multicore 5648. These figures suggest the CPU can handle background tasks and game logic without becoming a bind on the GPU.

In The Technomancer, the CPU’s role appears secondary because at 1080p with Low settings, the combo averages 161 FPS, which is a very high level. Typically, at low 1080p settings, a GPU-bottlenecked system would see CPU usage limit the framerate, but here the 2600’s single-thread performance (boost 3.9 GHz) and 6 cores prove enough to keep the frame pipeline full. At 4K Ultra, where the GPU is strained, the CPU load is likely lower and it is even more likely the GPU is the limit. While the combo ranks at the 75th percentile for both CPU and GPU individually, the actual in-game ranking of this exact cabin is 1562 out of 3696 tested combinations. That is better than the median, but not exceptionally high. The 2600 is a 7nm? No, it’s 12 nm. The game’s original release in 2016 predates the CPU’s 2018 launch, meaning it supports plenty of threads, but The Official Techns did not need a high-end CPU to hit 100+ FPS on 1080p.

When we look at the CPU’s nearest rivals in the corpus, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is within 1.2% of the average benchmark score of the AMD EPYC 9454, and within 0.5% of the Intel Core i9-11900H. This proximity to both a high-core count serveripse and a mobile CPU reinforces that the 2600’s raw compute is competitive, but in game performance, the combination rank is more dependent on the GPU’s finite resources at 4K. The data suggests that the CPU’s speed and core granularity enable the 3070 Ti to stretch its legs, but at low resolutions the CPU can still keep up. The only instance where CPU could be suspected is at 1080p Low, where the GPU might be under-occupied, but the 161 FPS average shows no obvious CPU ceiling. The combination works well across the resolution, but the GPU’s 8GB1 memory for 4K is not ideal; however, the pack does not measure VRAM utilization, so judgment must rely on the fps.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 + GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combo achieves a rank of 1562 out of 3696 validated system configurations for The Technomancer. That puts it in the top half of the distribution—more precisely, within the 42nd percentile (derived from the rank, but we can only use the exact numbers). The CPU and GPU each are individually at the 75th percentile when compared against all CPUs and GPUs respectively, but the combination falls below the top quartile due to the game’s varied demands. The average benchmark scores for the CPU and GPU are 21484 and 29945, respectively, and these raw compute powers do not directly translate to a top-100 game performance because the game’s complexity is not purely based on compute.

The rank is influenced by the fact that at resolutions above 1080p, the GPU is the primary limiter, and the RTX 3070 Ti’s 8 GB VRAM might be a factor at 4K. However, the data does not include any minimum-fr unmeasured beyond the Medium preset, so we cannot confirm VRU overflow. The combination sits close to both the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V and the Intel Core i9-11900H in synthesis benchmarks, with deltaPct values of 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively. Those CPUs pair with mobile low‑power GPU, but the actual game performance of this particular setup is evaluated only via the measured FPS rows. Because the rank is not extreme, players can expect decent performance, but the situation is not eyebrow-raising in the Pantheon of all combos. If the goal is 4K gaming, this combo will need to compromise on 4k letters. At 1440p High it strong, at 1080p it is fully playable. The combination should be considered a capable but not top‑tier option for this title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured performance numbers, the best settings depend on resolution and user preference for a stable 60+ FPS. At 1920p, all presets achieve an average above 100 FPS: High 132, Medium 146, Low 161, Ultra 103. For a smooth experience without sacrificing visual quality, Medium (146 FPS) provides the second-longest peak no micro-stutter. The Medium preset has a minimum of 124 FPS, which ensures an unchanging framerate. At 2560×1440, the Medium preset (101 FPS) also delivers a comfortable minimum of 86 FPS, while High (86 FPS) is borderline for a 60Hz screen. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 67 FPS, still above 60 but with no documented minimum; it is a riskier choice while the Medium 1440p is the most consistant. For 4K, only Low (72 FPS) passes the 60 FPS bar; Medium (55 FPS) and High (47 FPS) are better on a 50Hz display, but the typical 60Hz panel demands Low settings. Ultra at 4K (37 FPS) is below playable levels and is only recommended if the user tolerates low frame times. Consequently, the recommend combination is:

• 1080p: Medium or High (146 FPS or 132 FPS, with Medium having a min of 124).
• 1440p: Medium (101 FPS, min 86) or High (107 FPS, no min data). If strong visuals, High is acceptable, but Medium is safer.
• 4K: Low (72 FPS) is the only preset above 60 FPS.

The Medium preset at each resolution shows the best balance of execution and stability, as it is the only preset with both measured min and max for all resolutions. It is the recommended to start from for a smoother experience.

The data shows that the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 + RTX 3070 Ti system is most effective at 1080p and 1440p, where it canists to rates far above 60. At 4K, reductions to Medium or Low traits are necessary to achieve playable levels. The Medium row reveals that the minimum FPS often falls below the average, e.g., at 4K Medium min 47 while the average is 55, inder something the play. These fluctuation are typical for the GPU running at a high preset load. For a more feel, either the 1080p or 1440p Medium settings deliver minimum FPS that stay above 60, making them the most responsive and visually enticing combination from the measured data.

The overall picture shows a combo that is not CPU‑ or GPU‑limited in a predictable way: at 1080p the CPU is never the top, at 1440p the GPU is close to its available, and at 4K the GPU fails to reach a solid 60 on most presets. The player should choose a resolution that matches the frame budget they have in mind. The database shows these exact numbers, so the reader can plan accordingly.
