The Technomancer

The Technomancer is an action RPG released on 2016-06-27, and this measured combo pairs the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D processor with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card. The database records three test resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160) and four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). For this combination, the measured data shows an overall position of 463rd out of 3,696 tested combos in this specific game. The CPU sits at the 85th percentile against all CPUs, and the GPU at the 86th percentile against all GPUs, indicating a pairing of two above-average parts that lands well above the median in game-specific testing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 463 out of 3,696 places this pairing in the top 13% of all tested combinations for The Technomancer. That ranking is consistent with the individual component strengths: the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D has an average benchmark score of 37,018 and a percentile of 85, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 has an average benchmark score of 54,247 and a percentile of 86. The close relationship between each part's percentile (85 vs. 86) suggests that neither component is drastically over- or under-matched for the other within this game's workload. The measured FPS numbers reflect this balanced pairing, with no resolution showing a collapse that would indicate a clear bottleneck. Notably, the CPU's nearest rivals are all within a 0.3% delta: the Ryzen 5 5600F scores 36,945 (+0.2%), the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36,938 (+0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37,093 (-0.2%), and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37,112 (-0.3%). The GPU rivals similarly cluster tightly: the RTX 4080 SUPER scores 55,209 (+0.1%), the Radeon Pro 5700X scores 54,828 (-1.1%), and two AMD parts trail further. The fact that the RTX 4080 sits 0.1% behind the 4080 SUPER in synthetic terms, yet this combo still achieves the 463rd overall rank, suggests that the CPU's 96 MB cache and 6 Zen 3 cores contribute meaningfully to gameplay-oriented results.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 2205 MHz and boost clock is 2505 MHz, backed by 9,728 shading units and 112 ROPs. In The Technomancer's measured data, the GPU demonstrates that it is the scaling resource as resolution increases. At 3840x2160 (4K), the gap between Low and Ultra records is wide: Low runs at 107 average FPS, Medium at 82, High at 70, and Ultra at 55. This 52 FPS range from Ultra to Low shows the GPU's headroom when constrained by quality settings. When moving from 4K Low to 4K Ultra, the 16 GB frame buffer and high boost clock are tested under the game's texture and shading demands. Conversely, at 1920x1080, the same settings produce far less variance—Low 211, Medium 191, High 181, and Ultra 152—a spread of only 59 FPS, but occupying a different performance territory entirely. The 4K High minimum of 70 FPS and 4K Ultra's 55 FPS indicate that the GPU can hold 60 FPS territory only when settings are dropped to High or below; Medium is the highest reliable 4K preset for 70 FPS average. These observations align with the GPU's synthetic results: a Passmark G3D score of 34,457 and an average benchmark score of 54,247, both above the 86th percentile of critical GPU rankings.

Settings Recommendations

Judging from the measured rows, the recommended experience depends on the target frame rate. For a 60 FPS sustained experience at 3840x2160, Medium is the only preset that records both a minimum of 70 FPS and an average of 82 FPS; High falls to an average of 70 FPS, which is borderline for a 60 Hz display, while Ultra dips to 55 FPS, which lacks numerical certainty. At 2560x1440, the choice is less critical: even High runs at 128 FPS and Ultra at 100 FPS, so any preset from Low (183) to Ultra (100) delivers smooth 60+ FPS gameplay. At 1920x1080, the data stream is even more permissive: Low of 211 FPS becomes the ceiling, while Ultra of 152 FPS is more than sufficient for high refresh rate monitors. The best overall experience, then, depends on target resolution. For 4K, Medium is the highest preset that keeps the average above 60 FPS with a documented minimum. For 1440p, High gives 128 FPS—a good balance because it doubles the Ultra's 100 FPS and approaches the Low's 183. For 1080p, Ultra's 181 FPS (such as in low settings) is unnecessary, and Ultra's 152 FPS is still excellent. There is no minimum FPS data for some rows, but the closest is Medium across all resolutions where the fragment of 70-94 FPS shows the floor. The lower settings also indicate the game's responsiveness: 1080p Low leaves 211 FPS. In every case, the GPU is the limiting factor at the highest resolution, as the CPU's role only becomes notable when the frames are already extreme.

FAQ

Q1: What is the overall place of this combo in The Technomancer?

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D + GeForce RTX 4080 combo ranks 463rd out of 3,696 tested combinations in The Technomancer.

Q2: How much video memory does the RTX 4080 offer, and does it matter for this game's settings?

The GPU has 16 GB GDDR6X, which is ample for this 2016 Action RPG; the measured data shows no texture-quality resolution that would exceed 16 GB. Even 4K Ultra runs at an average 55 FPS, which implies memory capacity is not a limiting factor.

Q3: What is the launch MSRP of the GeForce RTX 4080?

The launch MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) is not given in the metadata, but the FACT PACK lists a value of $1,199 USD as the launch, and per the formatting rule it is stated once: $1,199.

Q4: How does the RTX 4080 compare to its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER?

In synthetic average benchmark scores, the RTX 4080 scores 54,247, while the RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209, a delta of +0.1% in favor of the 4080. The difference is negligible in potential performance.

Q5: Which CPU is the Ryzen 5 5500X3D closest to in terms of benchmark score?

Its average benchmark score is 37,108, and the nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-12900T, scores 37,112, a -0.3% difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 is also within -0.2%, so the field is tight.

Q6: What are the minimum FPS values for 3840x2160 Medium?

The recorded minimum for 4K Medium is 70 FPS, with a maximum of 94 FPS and an average of 82 FPS. This is the only row in the measured data that contains minimum/maximum values for a 4K preset.

Resolution Scaling

Examining the same preset across three resolutions reveals how the RTX 4080's frame rate scales with pixel count. Taking the High preset as the clearest progression: 1080p avers 181 FPS, 1440p 128 FPS, and 4K returns 70 FPS. Because these FPS drops are not proportionally matched by the GPU load, the format in game becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution grows to 3840. The difference from 1080p to 1440p is a 53 FPS drop, while from 1440p to 4K is 128-70=58 FPS drop. Both are approximate, based on the figures, and show a steady halving of the headroom. At Medium settings, the pattern is similar: 191 (1080p), 149 (1440p), 82 (4K). At Low, the row is 211, 183, and 107, respectively. The gap between Low and Ultra expands up at 4K: 107-55=52 FPS range, whereas at 1080p that range is only 211-152=59 FPS. This is the characteristic of a GPU that remains essential at high resolutions. The measurement at 4K Ultra drops to 55 FPS, which is only 10 FPS above the 2018? Not relevant. The dropping curve suggests the CPU is not the primary limitation here because the frame rate decreases by roughly a third at every step upward in resolution. If the CPU were limiting at 1080p, the 1080p Low score of 211 would not be so high; a CPU-limited combo would show a plateaus around 200. The fact that 1080p Low displays 211 vs 1080p Ultra 152 suggests the GPU still trades frame rate for quality even at 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D contains 6 cores and 12 threads, with base 3.00 GHz and boost 4.00 GHz, on an AM4 socket using the Zen 3 (Vermeer) architecture. Its L3 cache is shared 96 MB, which is a hallmark of the 3D cache design (though the actual cache size is explicitly in the pack). In Passmind synthetic benchmarks, the CPU records 20,363 in multithread and 2,941 in single-thread. The CPU's percentile of 85 shows it is near the top of all tested CPUs. Within The Technomancer's measured results, the CPU's behavior is not the primary limit, because core clock variation across settings at 1080p: Low 211, Medium 191, High 181, Ultra 152. If the CPU were the major constraint, the drop from Low to Ultra would be minimal (since the GPU workload increases), but the fact that it pulls a 4% increase? Not needed, but the magnitude of the change is 59 FPS. At 1440p, the same settings show 183, 128, and exactly 100 Ultra, a 43 FPS spread. At 4K, the spread narrows to 52 FPS, confirming that the GPU rises as the dominant performance actor. The CPU's 96 MB L3 cache and 6 Zen 3 cores are fully sufficient to feed the RTX 4080 at any resolution in this title; the lowest frame rate at 1080pLow is 211, which is far pas the CPU threading of a 2016 Action RPG. A CPU limitation would manifest as a flattening of the FPS at low resolutions, but the observed 211 FPS, 81, and 191 of Medium show the CPU remains far ahead of the game's demands. The CPU also shows up in the combination's rank; with a similar (85th percentile) but the overall rank is 463 of 3696, which is a ~12% fraction, slightly better than the CPU percentile but under the GPU percentile, again pointing to a gaming scenario where the GPU is the more active part in the measured frame rates. On the whole, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D provides fast single-thread results and large L3 cache, and the measured result leaves the performance ceiling to the GPU at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists every measured frame rate for the CPU/GPU combo as recorded in the dataset. All values are average FPS unless otherwise specified, and the only rows with min/max values are those indicated.

• 1920x1080
• Low: 211
• Medium: 191 (min 163, max 220)
• High: 181
• Ultra: 152
• 2560x1440
• Low: 183
• Medium: 149 (min 127, max 172)
• High: 128
• Ultra: 100
• 3840x2160
• Low: 107
• Medium: 82 (min 70, max 94)
• High: 70
• Ultra: 55

The data includes 12 rows, all with an average FPS (unless missing, all are present). The Medium preset at each resolution also provides a secondary data of minimum and maximum for those rows. These are the only rows where min/max statistics are recorded. Importantly, the minimum framerates for Medium at 1080p, 1440p, 4K are 163, 127, and 70 FPS, respectively. Even the lowest of these (at 4K Medium) is above the 60 FPS standard required for smooth frame pacing. The lowest recorded value across the dataset is the 4K Ultra at exactly 55 FPS. The user can assess the consistency of the image presentation by comparing the min and max values on the Medium rows: the spread at 1080p is 220-163=57 FPS, at 1440p 172-127=45 FPS, and at 4K 94-70=24 FPS. This progressive three in the minimum FPS suggests that as the resolution rises the frame time variance decreases slightly, likely due to the GPU being the game to maintain a steadier load. After lens of all twelve measurements, it is clear that the combination provides a wide range of playable settings, with the only potentially problematic configuration being 4K Ultra for a locked screen targeted at 60 FPS.**
