The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination lands at rank 1030 out of 1656 tested combos in The Technomancer, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. The combo sits at the 62nd percentile of all tested configurations, which means a substantial portion of systems deliver higher average frame rates in this title. The pairing is balanced enough to push playable numbers at 1440p, but at 4K it clearly falls behind the field, and even the strongest settings struggle to maintain smooth motion.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this CPU-GPU pair at position 1030 out of 1656 total combinations tested in The Technomancer. With the CPU holding a percentile rank of 78 against all processors and the GPU at percentile 65 against all graphics cards, the bottleneck dynamics favor the processor slightly, though neither component is a standout in this title. The average benchmark score for the GPU is 22206, while the CPU’s multithread score reaches 21858, indicating the two are closely matched in raw compute output.

Against the nearest rivals, the RTX 2070 SUPER trails the NVIDIA RTX A400 by a narrow 0.5% margin and sits 2.3% behind the RTX 4060 Mobile, while edging out the GTX TITAN Z by 0.9% and the Radeon RX 5700 by 2.5%. The Ryzen 5 5600X shows a similar pattern, with the Intel Core i5-12490F leading it by 0.5%, the Ryzen 5 5600GT and Core i7-10700 both ahead by 0.3%, and the Xeon 6325P trailing by 0.7%. These margins are small, meaning the combo’s rank is more a product of the game’s demands than any single component deficiency.

The measured frames per second confirm the middling standing. At 4K Ultra the system produces an average of 29.4 FPS, which is below the threshold most users would consider acceptable for an Action RPG. The gap between this combo and higher-ranked systems likely widens at higher resolutions, where the GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors.

FAQ

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5600X a bottleneck for the RTX 2070 SUPER in The Technomancer?

A: The CPU’s percentile rank of 78 versus the GPU’s 65 suggests the processor is relatively stronger, and at 1080p Low the combo reaches 158.4 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently at lower loads. At 4K the frame rates drop proportionally more, which points to the GPU becoming the primary constraint rather than the CPU.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in this game?

A: At 2560x1440 High the system produces 65.6 FPS, which is smooth for an Action RPG. At 1920x1080 High it reaches 104.6 FPS, offering headroom for higher settings, while 3840x2160 High falls to 38.6 FPS, which is borderline playable but not ideal for fast-paced combat.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its nearest rival, the RTX A400?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER scores 22206 average benchmark points, which is 0.5% lower than the RTX A400’s 22307. This negligible difference means in practice the two cards will perform nearly identically in The Technomancer, with the SUPER slightly behind.

Q: Does the CPU’s multithread performance help in this game?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600X scores 18578 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 21858 in Passmark multithread, which are solid numbers for a 6-core, 12-thread part. The Technomancer is not heavily threaded, so the single-core score of 2622 in Cinebench R23 is more relevant, and it holds up well at lower resolutions.

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

A: The system delivers 102.8 FPS at Low and 50 FPS at Ultra, a drop of 52.8 FPS or roughly 51%. This shows a significant performance cost for the highest settings, making Medium at 81.8 FPS a more balanced choice.

Q: Is this combo capable of 4K gaming in this title?

A: At 4K Low it produces 54.2 FPS, which is playable, but at High it falls to 38.6 FPS and at Ultra to 29.4 FPS. The data suggests 4K is only viable with reduced settings, and even then, the experience is not consistently smooth.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS shows a clear and steep decline as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 High, the combo produces 104.6 FPS; stepping up to 2560x1440 High drops the average to 65.6 FPS, a reduction of 39.0 FPS or about 37%. Moving from 1440p High to 3840x2160 High yields 38.6 FPS, a further drop of 27.0 FPS or roughly 41%. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the dominant limiting component, as the scaling penalty is consistent with a rendering-bound workload.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling is even more pronounced. The 1080p Low result of 158.4 FPS falls to 102.8 FPS at 1440p, a 35.6 FPS decrease, and then to 54.2 FPS at 4K, a 48.6 FPS drop from 1440p. The percentage loss from 1080p to 4K is about 66%, which is substantial and suggests the RTX 2070 SUPER is overwhelmed by the pixel count at 4K, even with reduced graphical fidelity.

The data reveals that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The Ryzen 5 5600X’s single-thread score of 917 in 3DMark single-thread and 2622 in Cinebench R23 single-core are sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s output at 1080p, where the system still achieves over 100 FPS on High. As resolution climbs, the frame rate drops proportionally, a classic sign of GPU limitation rather than CPU constraint.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers a wide range of performance depending on settings. Low settings produce an average of 158.4 FPS, which is well above any refresh rate common to monitors. Medium settings yield 119.3 FPS, High settings drop to 104.6 FPS, and Ultra settings bring the average down to 80.8 FPS. This resolution offers the most flexibility, with even Ultra staying above 60 FPS and providing a smooth experience for the game’s combat and exploration.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates become more moderate. Low settings average 102.8 FPS, Medium settings hit 81.8 FPS, and High settings settle at 65.6 FPS. Ultra settings drop to exactly 50 FPS, which is on the edge of acceptable for an Action RPG where timing matters. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 52.8 FPS, indicating that the graphical preset has a major impact on playability.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings average 54.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal. Medium settings fall to 43.1 FPS, High settings to 38.6 FPS, and Ultra settings to 29.4 FPS. The drop from 1080p Ultra (80.8 FPS) to 4K Ultra (29.4 FPS) is a 51.4 FPS reduction, a 64% loss that makes 4K Ultra impractical for serious play. Even at Low, the 4K result is barely above the 60 FPS threshold.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and smooth gameplay, the 2560x1440 High preset is the standout choice. The measured 65.6 FPS provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS target, and the visual quality is high enough to appreciate the game’s environments. Medium at 1440p offers 81.8 FPS, which is even smoother, but the jump to High is worth the 16.2 FPS loss for most players.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset at 80.8 FPS is the recommended setting. The system has enough headroom to run the highest quality without dropping below 60 FPS, and the 80.8 FPS average ensures consistent motion. For users with high-refresh-rate monitors, High at 104.6 FPS is a viable alternative, sacrificing some visual detail for a 23.8 FPS gain.

At 3840x2160, the data shows that only the Low preset at 54.2 FPS is remotely acceptable, and even that falls short of a locked 60 FPS. Medium at 43.1 FPS and High at 38.6 FPS are playable but suffer from noticeable stutter in fast action sequences. Ultra at 29.4 FPS is not recommended for gameplay, as the low frame rate undermines the responsiveness required for combat. Players prioritizing 4K should consider lowering the resolution or accepting significant visual compromises.
