The Technomancer

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) using a 7 nm TSMC process. It operates with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, configured for the AMD Socket AM4 platform. The CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth) position it as a mid-range desktop part, though its integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are irrelevant when paired with a discrete GPU.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5600G scores 16,758 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,365 in single-core. Its PassMark multithread score is 19,717, while the single-thread score sits at 3,177. These figures place it in the 78th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19,983. The nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-11600H (average score 19,949, deltaPct 0.2), the Intel Core i7-11800H (20,024, deltaPct -0.2), the AMD EPYC 7713P (20,024, deltaPct -0.2), and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (19,928, deltaPct 0.3). The 5600G is essentially tied with these parts, trailing the i7-11800H and EPYC 7713P by a mere 0.2% while leading the i7-11600H by the same margin.

For The Technomancer, a 2016 Action RPG, the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient for the game’s logical workload. The 5600G’s multi-threaded performance, as reflected in its Cinebench R23 score, suggests it can handle background tasks and game logic without bottlenecking. The single-thread score of 2,365 in Cinebench R23 is particularly relevant, as many games of that era rely heavily on single-core performance. The data shows that the CPU’s performance is well within the range needed to feed a high-end GPU at most resolutions, though at 1080p with low settings, the CPU may become a more significant factor in determining frame rates.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture (AD104 chip) using a 5 nm TSMC process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). Its 7680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs provide a substantial compute foundation, with FP32 performance rated at 40.09 TFLOPS. The card also includes 60 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores, though these are unlikely to be heavily utilized in a 2016 title.

The RTX 4070 Ti achieves a PassMark G3D score of 31,624 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 205,028, placing it in the 85th percentile among all tested GPUs with an average benchmark score of 44,900. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (45,152, deltaPct -0.6), Intel Arc A730M (45,592, deltaPct -1.5), AMD Radeon Pro 580 (44,195, deltaPct 1.6), and AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (45,642, deltaPct -1.6). The 4070 Ti is within 1.5% of these parts, with the Radeon Pro 580 being the only one it leads by a notable margin (1.6%).

For The Technomancer, the GPU’s 12 GB VRAM is more than adequate, as the game’s textures and geometry are unlikely to exceed even 4 GB at 4K Ultra. The high boost clock of 2610 MHz and the substantial memory bandwidth ensure that the GPU can push high frame rates at all tested settings. The data indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti is a dominant component in this pairing, with its performance ceiling far above what the CPU can deliver at lower resolutions, a point that becomes evident when examining the measured FPS across different settings.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 176.5 FPS, which drops to 118.8 FPS at 1440p High (-32.7%) and further to 66.6 FPS at 4K High (-62.3% from 1080p). This scaling is consistent with a GPU-limited scenario at higher resolutions, where the RTX 4070 Ti’s rendering workload increases significantly with pixel count. The drop from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep, suggesting that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, while the CPU has ample headroom.

At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 228.4 FPS, but this drops to 176.9 FPS at 1440p Low (-22.5%) and 95.2 FPS at 4K Low (-58.3% from 1080p). The smaller percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings (compared to High) indicates that the CPU is more involved at 1080p Low, as the GPU has less work to do. At 4K Low, the GPU again becomes the limiting factor, as the frame rate falls to 95.2 FPS, which is still well above playable thresholds but shows a significant reduction.

The Ultra settings tell a similar story. At 1080p Ultra, the combo runs at 138.7 FPS, dropping to 89.6 FPS at 1440p Ultra (-35.4%) and 47.9 FPS at 4K Ultra (-65.5% from 1080p). The 4K Ultra result of 47.9 FPS is the lowest in the entire dataset, highlighting the GPU’s struggle with the highest settings at 4K. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti is the limiting component at 4K across all settings, while the Ryzen 5 5600G becomes more relevant at 1080p, particularly at Low settings where the CPU’s single-threaded performance can influence the final frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are 228.4 (Low), 207.8 (Medium), 176.5 (High), and 138.7 (Ultra). The difference between Low and Medium is 20.6 FPS, while the gap from Medium to High is 31.3 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 37.8 FPS. The scaling is not linear, with the largest drop occurring between High and Ultra, indicating that the Ultra preset adds significant rendering complexity. The 1080p results show that the combo can easily exceed 200 FPS at lower settings, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays.

At 2560x1440, the values are 176.9 (Low), 139.9 (Medium), 118.8 (High), and 89.6 (Ultra). The drop from Low to Medium is 37.0 FPS, while Medium to High is 21.1 FPS, and High to Ultra is 29.2 FPS. Compared to 1080p, the Low setting at 1440p is 51.5 FPS lower, which is a 22.5% reduction. The Medium setting at 1440p is 67.9 FPS lower than 1080p Medium, a 32.7% reduction. These figures confirm that the GPU is increasingly stressed as resolution rises.

At 3840x2160, the values are 95.2 (Low), 73.0 (Medium), 66.6 (High), and 47.9 (Ultra). The drop from Low to Medium is 22.2 FPS, Medium to High is 6.4 FPS, and High to Ultra is 18.7 FPS. The 4K results show that even at Low settings, the combo barely crosses the 90 FPS threshold, while Ultra dips below 50 FPS. The data indicates that 4K Ultra is the only configuration where the frame rate approaches a level that might be considered marginal for smooth gameplay, while all other settings at 4K remain playable.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 257th out of 1,656 tested combos in The Technomancer. This places it in the top 15.5% of all configurations in the database, indicating a strong overall performance. The rank reflects the GPU’s high percentile (85th) and the CPU’s solid 78th percentile, with the pair working together to deliver frame rates that exceed 60 FPS at 4K High and approach 140 FPS at 1080p Ultra.

The rank of 257 suggests that while the RTX 4070 Ti is a powerful GPU, the Ryzen 5 5600G holds the combo back from the very top positions. Combos with higher-ranked CPUs (e.g., those in the 90th percentile or above) would likely achieve better results, particularly at 1080p Low where the CPU’s single-threaded performance becomes more impactful. However, the data shows that the 5600G is not a significant bottleneck at 1440p or 4K, as the GPU’s workload dominates the frame time.

The deltaPct values for the CPU’s nearest rivals (all within 0.3%) suggest that swapping the 5600G for an Intel Core i7-11600H or AMD EPYC 7713P would yield negligible changes in overall system performance. Likewise, the GPU’s nearest rivals, such as the RTX 5090 Mobile or Intel Arc A730M, would not meaningfully alter the FPS results. The 257th rank is thus a product of the RTX 4070 Ti’s high-end positioning combined with the 5600G’s mid-range standing, producing a combo that is well above average but not elite.
