CPU World

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a six-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer). It operates at a base clock of 3.50 GHz, boost clock of 4.40 GHz, and is built on a 7 nm process. The chip integrates 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die. Crucial for gaming, it offers 32 MB of shared L3 cache, along with per-core 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 caches. With a TDP of 65 W and a 51.2 GB/s dual-channel DDR4 bandwidth, it handles the monolithic world of The Technomancer without being a limiting factor at 1080p and 1440p.

The CPU’s compute strength is evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,309 and single-core score of 2,584. In 3DMark’s thread test, the chip scores 5,641 in 16-thread and 1,737 in 2-thread workloads, which indicates it efficiently spawns threads when the game engine requests parallel tasks. The Technomancer is an action RPG that uses a moderate number of NPC interactions and physics; the CPU's six physical cores can comfortably handle the game’s logic, and the 12 threads do not see saturation at the tested resolutions. The data supports this: at 4K Low, the average is 75 FPS, and at 1080p Low it jumps to 210 FPS, indicating that the CPU is not the primary constraint for scene complexity—the GPU workload dominates. The processor’s performance rank is 74th percentile among all CPUs, which places it among the fast mid-range chips. Its nearest rivals in overall compute benchmarks are the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V and AMD Ryzen 5 8500G, with deltas of 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively; this architecturally shows that the 5600X's performance is within a hair of newer parts in purely arithmetic tests.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7800 XT houses a Navi 32 GPU based on RDNA 3.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm node with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die. It runs a base clock of 1295 MHz, a game clock of 2124 MHz, and a boost clock of 2430 MHz. Memory is equally impressive: 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus delivering 624.1 GB/s bandwidth. With 3,840 shading units, 240 texture units, 96 ROPs, and 60 dedicated ray tracing cores, this GPU is overqualified for a game released in 2016. The Memory capacity of 16 GB prevents any VRAM overflow at any tested setting, offering headroom that a 2016 title cannot utilize.

The GPU performance is reflected in its average benchmark score of 11,627 and its 51st percentile among all GPUs, meaning more than half of other cards outperform it in generic compute benchmarks, but in practical in-game results the RX 7800 XT shines due to its balanced compute-to-bandwidth ratio. Its 3D Steel Nomand DX12 score is 4,157, and its Vulkan score is 54,228. Compared to its closest rivals, the card sits just 0.5% under the GTX 1660’s average, but that low-score benchmark does not translate to actual gameplay; measured FPS shows the combe delivers nearly 300% more performance than that GPU in this title. In The Technomancer, the GPU provides a performance plateau at 1080p and 1440p: at Low settings, the average FPS is 210 at 1080p and 137 at 1440p, while at Ultra, it still reaches 108 and 70 respectively. At 4K, the card is the pacing element, as we see the largest FPS drop from 1080p to 4K. The 624.1 GB/s memory bandwidth ensures that high-resolution textures and effects at Low and Medium presets do not cause standard memory a cache miss.

The 16 GB VRAM futureproofs against games that demand high textures, but for a 2016 title, only 2 GB is sufficient. The key issue is the rasterization throughput: with 60 RTA cores (though this game does not use DXR), and a max output resolution of 4K, the GPU is able to run only at 76 FPS on Low and 58 on Medium. High and Ultra are simply too heavy for fluidity on a 4K panel, indicating a compute front that cannot sustain those settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined CPU-GPU configuration ranks 1,228th out of 3,696 tested combos for The Technomancer, from a performance range measured across various processors and graphics cards. This folds into the top 33% of all 3,696 test systems. There are two single-system references for this rank: the CPU alone is in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 51st percentile among all GPUs. However, the in-game ranking is higher than either individual percentile because the game’s workload rewards a balanced pairing: the CPU’s efficient Zen 3 cluster is nearly-excessive for this 2016 engine, while the GPU’s strong raster performance lifts the final result above what the GPU percentile might predict.

The delta plot against its closest CPU rival shows an edge of 0.1% over the Core Ultra 7 258V and 0.2% over the Ryzen 5 8500G; those delta values are trivial, but the CPU’s in‑game frame rates are given largely by the GPU anyway. The GPU is compared to four closest rivals: the GTX 1660, Radeon Pro 5500M, Tesla K20c, and Radeon RX 6500 XT. The RX 7800 XT's average benchmark is 1.3% lower than the Tesla K20c, yet in Metin2 The Technomancer, K20c cannot even launch to 1080p with playable FPS, because its compute power is far behind. The in-game rank better reflects the real world, which is why this combo occupies a higher place in the results than the raw hardware percentiles would suggest.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of in-game data is given below, dividing by resolution and preset.

1920 x 1080

At 1080p the config includes:

• Ultra: average FPS 108. This is the highest setting and yields an average well above the refresh rate of typical 60-75 Hz monitors. Official min/max not reported, but the average indicates consistent smoothness.
• High: 138 average.
• Medium: 162 average, with a minimum of 137 and maximum of 186.
• Low: 210 average FPS.

The gradient from High to Low yields a 12 FPS jump (or 52%) lower to 210 from 138, indicating the game’s powerful engine is GPU dependent even at lower res.

2560×1440 (1440p)

• Ultra: 70 FPS.
• Qualified: High 90 FPS.
• Medium: 106 FPS, with min 90 – max 121.
• Low: 137 FPS.

1440p shows clear scaling, where Ultra below 75 FPS but still far from 60, and the difference between Medium and High is 16 FPS (more than 15%). The minimum recorded on Medium is 90, providing a robust 1% low that can support high-refresh displays.

3840×2160 (4K)

• Ultra: 39 FPS. This is the only preset average to fall below 60.
• High: 50 FPS.
• Medium: 137, min 49 – max 67.
• Low: 76 FPS.

At 4K, the GPU’s load causes the biggest drop after 1440p. Low gives 76 FPS (playable), Medium gives 58 (shadow curve), High and Ultra are not stable for motion-heavy sections. The minimum on Medium is 49, and 67 on high – those dips can cause spikes during battles.

Across all 12 data points, the scaling is linear across settings. For example, 1080p Low average is 210, which is 1.8× the 1440p Low’s 136 (calculate 210/136≈1.54). This reflection requires the CPU doesn’t limit.

Settings Recommendations

The data suggests that the best balance of visual quality and frame rate is achieved with High at 1440p: 90 FPS average, solid for a fluid, immersive RPG. If one prefers 60 Hz displays, dropping to 1440p Ultra is still sufficient at 70 FPS, and 1080p Ultra offers 108 FPS, which suits high refresh monitors.

For 4K, the only stable preset is Low, which maintains 76 FPS and provides a comfortable experience for storytelling. Medium is borderline at 58 FPS, with occasional dips to 49, so it is best to reserve for slower scenes. High and Ultra are not advised at 4K given sub-60 averages.

At 1080p, the entire spectrum from Low (210) to Ultra (108) is sufficient for esports-style play, and the CPU is not holding back; the advantage of Ultra is all cosmetic. For a smooth and visually rich presentation, Medium is the recommended preset because it yields 162 FPS with a well-distributed frame variance (137–186), a sweet spot between visual quality and responsiveness. The data shows no advantage to running Low beyond the top competitive scenarios.

In summary, the Ryzen 5 5600 + RX 7800 XT combo is most conveniently used with these presets: Strength 1080p → Ultra, 1440p → High or Ultra, 4K → Low. Given the 16GB VRAM, the only limit of running Ultra is the raw render load, not memory capacity. Therefore, scale resolution and settings according to the measured numbers to maintain a 60+ FPS target.
