The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti lands at rank 871 out of 1656 tested combos in The Technomancer. That places this configuration in the middle of the pack, not a top-tier performer but far from a struggling one. The data shows a system that is capable of handling the game smoothly at most settings, with the primary limitation emerging at the highest resolutions and quality presets.

How This Combo Ranks

At position 871 out of 1656, this combo sits slightly above the median of all tested configurations. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is dramatically holding back the other in typical gaming scenarios. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides adequate processing power for this 2016 Action RPG, while the RTX 3060 Ti handles the graphical workload. The CPU’s benchmark percentile of 75 against all CPUs indicates it performs better than three-quarters of tested processors, while the GPU sits at the 69th percentile against all GPUs. This slight imbalance suggests the graphics card is marginally more likely to be the limiting factor, but the gap is small enough that the pairing remains coherent. In practical terms, the combo ranks where it does because the CPU’s multi-threaded performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593, keeps pace with the GPU’s demands in a game that is not notoriously CPU-intensive.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock of 1665 MHz and base clock of 1410 MHz drive 4864 shading units, which translate to a FP32 throughput of 16.20 TFLOPS. In The Technomancer, the GPU’s memory capacity and bandwidth are the key attributes. The game’s texture-heavy environments and effects respond well to the 8 GB frame buffer, avoiding the stuttering that can occur with smaller memory pools at higher resolutions. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that data flows efficiently between the GPU and memory, which is critical at 4K where the pixel throughput demand is highest. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 20349 and average benchmark score of 25120 place it slightly below the AMD Radeon RX 6600, which scores 25235 with a 0.5% delta. This means the RTX 3060 Ti is within a rounding error of its nearest rivals, making its performance in this game largely dependent on driver optimization and the specific workload rather than raw hardware superiority.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 117.4 FPS at 1920x1080 to 74 FPS at 2560x1440, and then to 38.8 FPS at 3840x2160. That is a 34% decrease from 1080p to 1440p, and a 67% decrease from 1080p to 4K. This steep decline at 4K indicates the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor at that resolution. The 1080p results, where Low settings hit 177.7 FPS, suggest the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well beyond what the monitor can likely display. The scaling from Medium to High at 1080p (137 FPS to 117.4 FPS) shows a modest 14% drop, which is typical for a game that responds more to resolution than to minor settings tweaks. The data indicates that at 1440p, the system is well balanced, with the GPU still able to maintain high frame rates. At 4K, the RTX 3060 Ti’s 8 GB memory and 16.20 TFLOPS compute are pushed to their limits, confirming that users targeting 4K should expect to lower settings significantly.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong performance across all presets. Low settings achieve 177.7 FPS average, Medium reaches 137 FPS, High hits 117.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 93 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is a 23% reduction, while the step from High to Ultra is a 21% reduction. These numbers show that even at Ultra, the system maintains a frame rate well above the 60 FPS threshold, making 1080p an easy target for this hardware. At 2560x1440, the results are still very playable: Low runs at 113.8 FPS, Medium at 86.8 FPS, High at 74 FPS, and Ultra at 58.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p dips below 60 FPS, which is a critical threshold for many players. The drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is 21%, similar to the pattern seen at 1080p. At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more demanding. Low settings yield 62.7 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 46.7 FPS, High to 38.8 FPS, and Ultra to 29.9 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium at 4K is a 25% reduction, and from High to Ultra is a 23% reduction. This indicates that 4K gaming is only viable with Low settings, and even then, it sits close to the edge of smooth gameplay.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run The Technomancer at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: Yes, but only at Low settings, where the average FPS is 62.7. At Medium settings, the average drops to 46.7 FPS, which may feel less smooth, and at High or Ultra, the frame rates fall to 38.8 and 29.9 FPS respectively, which are not ideal for active gameplay.

Q: What is the best resolution for this hardware in The Technomancer?

A: The data indicates that 2560x1440 offers the best balance. At High settings, the system achieves 74 FPS average, and even at Ultra, it maintains 58.4 FPS. This resolution provides a significant visual upgrade over 1080p while keeping frame rates within a comfortable range.

Q: How does the RTX 3060 Ti compare to its nearest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 3060 Ti has an average benchmark score of 25120, which is 0.5% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 6600’s score of 25235. It also trails the AMD Radeon RX 6700M by 0.2%, which scores 25180. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: At 1080p with Low settings, the system reaches 177.7 FPS, which is very high. The CPU’s single-thread score of 1919 in Cinebench R23 and its 75th percentile ranking suggest it is not a limiting factor at this resolution. The GPU is still the primary driver of performance.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between High and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, High settings produce an average of 74 FPS, while Ultra produces 58.4 FPS. This is a 21% reduction in frame rate for the visual upgrade, which may be worth it for players who prioritize image quality over a higher refresh rate.

Q: How does the combo’s ranking translate to overall performance?

A: With a rank of 871 out of 1656 combos, this system performs better than roughly 47% of tested configurations. This places it in the upper-middle tier, meaning it will handle most games well, including The Technomancer, but may struggle with the most demanding titles at maximum settings.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data points to 2560x1440 with High settings as the sweet spot. This configuration yields 74 FPS average, which is smooth and visually detailed. Pushing to Ultra at 1440p drops the frame rate to 58.4 FPS, which is still playable but may show occasional dips below 60 FPS. If the player prefers a higher refresh rate, 1920x1080 with Ultra settings offers 93 FPS, which is excellent for competitive or fast-paced play. At 4K, only Low settings are recommended, as the 62.7 FPS average is the only preset that stays above the 60 FPS mark. Medium at 4K drops to 46.7 FPS, which is a noticeable decline in smoothness. The measured data shows that this combo is best utilized at 1440p, where the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to deliver a high-quality experience without sacrificing frame rate. For players with a 1080p monitor, Ultra settings are fully viable, providing a high level of visual fidelity without any performance concerns. The recommendation is to prioritize resolution over settings: use 1440p High instead of 4K Medium, as the frame rate difference is substantial and the visual upgrade from 4K Medium is not worth the 34% performance hit.
