The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a highly playable experience in The Technomancer, with the data showing that the GPU is the clear performance bottleneck at most settings. The combo ranks in the 49th percentile of all tested configurations, indicating a balanced but not top-tier setup for this title. Benchmark results reveal that the system’s frame rate scales predictably with resolution and graphical fidelity, offering a wide range of performance outcomes from a fluid 181.6 FPS at 1080p Low to a demanding 31.9 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data illustrates a steep performance curve as resolution increases, confirming that the Radeon RX 6750 XT is the primary limiting component. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings reduces the average frame rate from 116.4 FPS to 75.6 FPS, a drop of roughly 35%. The scaling from 1440p to 3840x2160 at High is even more severe, with the average falling to 41.5 FPS, representing a further 45% reduction. This pattern indicates that the GPU’s rendering workload, rather than the CPU’s processing capability, is dictating the frame rate, as the 6-core processor maintains sufficient headroom even at lower resolutions.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling behavior changes character. The 1080p result of 181.6 FPS drops to 117.5 FPS at 1440p and then to 62.2 FPS at 4K. The relative drop from 1080p to 1440p is 35%, consistent with the High preset, but the drop from 1440p to 4K is 47%, slightly steeper. This suggests that at the lowest quality preset, the game becomes increasingly dependent on raw pixel throughput, an area where the GPU’s 12 GB of memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are heavily utilized. The 4K Ultra result of 31.9 FPS is the only configuration that falls below the generally accepted 30 FPS playability threshold, and even then by a narrow margin.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RX 6750 XT delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 181.6 FPS, Medium yields 137.8 FPS, High reaches 116.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 92.8 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 88.8 FPS, indicating that the game’s quality settings have a substantial impact on the rendering load. Even at Ultra, the frame rate remains well above 60 FPS, ensuring a smooth experience on standard 1080p displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance profile shifts to a more demanding territory. Low settings still provide a high 117.5 FPS average, while Medium drops to 88.1 FPS. High settings yield 75.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 60.5 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is notable as it sits just above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a viable option for gamers with high refresh rate monitors who prioritize visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, the combo begins to struggle with the most demanding presets. Low settings average 62.2 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium drops to 47.8 FPS. High settings come in at 41.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 31.9 FPS. The 4K results show a clear hierarchy where only the Low preset provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, while Ultra barely maintains playability.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the dominant performance driver in this configuration. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which the data shows is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming but becomes strained at 4K. The GPU’s boost clock of 2600 MHz and game clock of 2495 MHz contribute to its strong raw performance, as evidenced by the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2548 and a Passmark G3D score of 20700.

The GPU’s memory capacity is directly relevant to the 4K results. At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop sharply between Medium (47.8 FPS) and High (41.5 FPS), suggesting that texture memory usage is approaching the 12 GB limit at higher quality settings. The RDNA 2.0 architecture, with 2560 shading units and 40 ray accelerators, provides the computational throughput necessary for the game’s effects, but the data indicates that pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors at higher resolutions. The GPU’s 79th percentile ranking versus all GPUs supports its position as a solid mid-to-high-end part that performs best when not pushed to extreme resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal balance of visual quality and performance for this combo is the High preset at 2560x1440, which delivers 75.6 FPS. This configuration offers a significant improvement over Medium (88.1 FPS) and Ultra (60.5 FPS), providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while maintaining enhanced visual details. For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 92.8 FPS is strongly recommended, as it provides the highest visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

For 4K displays, the Low preset is the only viable option for consistent gameplay, achieving 62.2 FPS. The Medium preset at 47.8 FPS may be acceptable for slower-paced sections, but the frame rate dips below 50 FPS can be noticeable. The Ultra preset at 31.9 FPS should be avoided unless the user prioritizes visual quality over playability. The data shows that the Medium preset at 1440p (88.1 FPS) offers a good middle ground for those who cannot decide between quality and performance, as it provides a high frame rate with moderate visual improvements over Low.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, with 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, provides ample processing power for The Technomancer. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, combined with a 16 MB L3 cache, ensure that the CPU does not become a bottleneck in this configuration. The benchmark results support this, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16758 and a single-core score of 2365, indicating strong per-thread performance that is often more critical for older game engines.

The CPU’s role becomes apparent when comparing the 1080p Low result of 181.6 FPS to the 4K Low result of 62.2 FPS. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates would remain closer together across resolutions. Instead, the 119.4 FPS difference clearly demonstrates that the GPU is fully saturated at higher resolutions while the CPU has headroom to spare. The 5600G’s Passmark multithread score of 19717 and 3DMark 16-thread score of 5451 confirm its ability to handle the game’s threading demands without issue. The CPU’s 78th percentile ranking against all CPUs, with a deltaPct of only 0.2% compared to the Intel Core i7-11600H, indicates that it is a well-matched partner for the RX 6750 XT in this title, providing consistent frame delivery without holding back the GPU.
