The Technomancer

The Technomancer is a 2016 action RPG that still rewards a modern GPU, and the pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 produces consistently high frame rates across three tested resolutions. The data recorded here places this combo at 318th out of 3,696 tested combinations, with an average of 62 FPS at 3840×2160 Ultra and 152 FPS at 1920×1080 Ultra. That puts it in the top 8.6% of all CPU+GPU pairs in this game, a meaningful indicator for anyone hunting a high-refresh experience on a 1440p or 60 Hz 4K display.

Settings & Quality Recommendations

The measured rows provide four preset levels—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—across three resolutions. For a 60 Hz display, the 4K High preset (70 FPS) offers an excellent balance, staying 10 FPS above the 60 Hz refresh while delivering moderate soak to the RTX 4080. If you prefer 4K with higher visual deltail, Medium at 82 FPS is also safe; Ultra at 55 FPS will induce visible judder on common 60 Hz panels.

At 1440p, the Medium preset (149 FPS) is the sweet spot to hit a 144 Hz refresh rate. It leaves 25 FPS of headroom, while High drops to 128 FPS—still above 144 Hz but with a narrower margin. Ultra at 100 FPS is the choice only for consistent 60 Hz or 100 Hz panels. For 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 152 FPS, which is adequate for a 144 Hz monitor. If you want to enable 240 Hz, Low produces 242 FPS, though going above that is unnecessary for most gamers.

Looking at the variation, the Medium preset consistently provides a comfortable buffer above 60 FPS across all resolutions: 4K has a 82 average, 1440p has 149, and 1080p has 220. The 1080p Medium also has the strongest minimum-to-max spread (187–253), indicating that even on CPU-heavy scenes, the combo does not drop below 187 FPS.

CPU & Core Properties

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a six-core, twelve-thread processor built on Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz and the boost reaches 4.60 GHz, with a 32 MB L3 cache. Synthetic benchmark scores reflect its robust single-thread and multi-thread abilities: Cinebench R23 scores 1,541 single-core and 11,838 multi-core, while Geekbench shows 1,989 single and 9,173 multi. In 3DMark thread tests, it hits 5,582 at 16 threads, 4,811 at 8 threads, and 917 on the single-thread run.

The CPU sits in the 75th percentile among all tested processors, and its average benchmark score is 21,771. Nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (score 21,749, +0.1% faster), the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U (21,874, −0.5%), Intel Core i7-11700 (21,891, −0.5%), and AMD EPYC 9554P (21,899, −0.6%). This means the 5600X essentially matches those four processors in raw computing power, gliding within half a percent of each.

In this game, the CPU’s influence is most apparent at the lowest resolution. At 1920×1080 Low, the system still delivers 242 FPS, a value that is retained as the CPU provides enough headroom to feed the GPU. When the GPU drops to 4K with the same Low preset, the FPS declines to 107 (only a 23% fall from 242). That gap is entirely GPU-bound, indicating that the 5600X does not become the limiting point until the framerate climbs past about 240 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The table of FPS at each resolution shows how workload shifts from GPU to CPU. At High settings, the system yields 195 FPS at 1080p, 128 at 1440p, and 70 at 4K. The ratio from 4K to 1080p is 195/70 = 2.79, and from 1440p to 1080p 1.52. This pattern is consistent across all presets: for Medium settings, 220÷149 = 1.48 for 1080p/1440p and 220÷82 = 2.68 for 1080p/4K. At Ultra, 152/100 = 1.52 and 152/55 = 2.76. Therefore, regardless of the preset, dropping from 4K to 1080p multiplies performance by roughly 2.7-2.8×, while 4K to 1440p gives about 1.5×.

This stable scaling factor across the two lower resolutions reveals that the RTX 4080 is heavily pixel‑limited at 4K; the GPU’s pixel throughput is easily saturated by the 8.3‑megapixel count. Conversely, the CPU can deliver more than enough draw call processing, as verified by the 1080p rows where even Low, which stress the GPU most lightly, yields 242 FPS.

The conclusion is that for this title the combination behaves as a GPU‑first system: the 5600X guarantees a high CPU ceiling, while the RTX 4080 determines the actual framerate drop when moving up in resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank for this CPU+GPU duo in The Technomancer is 318 out of 3,696 tested combinations. That means only 317 other pairings produce higher average framerates across the tested conditions. This places it in the eighth percentile of the database (top 8.6%). For context, since the average global percentile for all CPUs is 75 and for the GPU it is 86, the pairing utilises both components efficiently.

Examining the closest rival CPUs to the 5600X, the Ryzen 7 4800H (0.1% higher CPU score) would deliver nearly identical CPU bound behavior, as would the Intel Core i7-11700 (0.2% lower). Similarly on the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER is 0.1% ahead in aggregate benchmarks, meaning the measured frame rates here are typical for a high‑end 2023 Turing combo.

In practice, the rank shows that to improve this system’s standing in The Technomancer you would need a flagship-rich CPU/GPU pairing. The measured data confirms that both components are close to their respective performance peaks for this game, and that any gain would require moving to a more powerful processing unit.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following are the observed average frame rates for every tested resolution and preset, with minimum and maximum values for the Medium preset where provided:

3840×2160 (4K)

• Low: 107 FPS
• Medium: 82 FPS (min 70, max 194)
• High: 70 FPS
• Ultra: 55 FPS

2560×1440 (1440p)

• Low: 195 FPS
• Medium: 149 FPS (min 127, max 172)
• High: 128 FPS
• Ultra: 100 FPS

1920×1080 (1080p)

• Low: 242 FPS
• Medium: 220 FPS (min 187, max 253)
• High: 195 FPS
• Ultra: 152 FPS

The lowest recorded average is the 55 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is just below the 60 FPS standard, while the highest performance ceiling is 242 FPS at 1080p Low. The Medium preset shows the most consistent, ensuring that even the min numbers stay above 60 FPS at all resolutions (70, 127, and 187 respectively).

GPU & Memory Characteristics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a large Ada Lovelace GPU, packing 9,728 shading units, 76 RT cores, and 304 tensor cores. It runs at base clock 2205 MHz and boosts to 2505 MHz. The 16 GB GDDR6X memory on the 256-bit interface yields 716.8 GB/s bandwidth, which is critical for 4K texture loads and high-resolution DD buffering. Its pixel rate is 280.6 GPixel/s, and the texture fill rate is 761.5 GTexel/s, figures that explain why the card never becomes a pure geometry bottleneck at 1080p (152 FPS Ultra).

Benchmarks show this GPU sits at the 86th percentile in the global pool. Against its nearest operational equivalents, the RTX 4080 SUPER (score 54,209–) is only 0.1% ahead, while the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% behind, and the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and Radeon 8060S are 2.6% and 2.7% behind, respectively. The 4080 achieves a passmark G3D score of 34,457, and a massive Geekbench Vulkan score of 263,779, underlining its extensive compute and rasterisation capacity.

The 16 GB VRAM is far above the requirements of The Technomancer, even at 4K, and the measured data shows no sign of memory‑cap‑related framerate dips. The card’s power profile (320 W TDP, 700 W supplied) is consistent with that of a desktop 4K‑capable all‑rounder, yet the measured results indicate it rarely needs to burst past its boost clock to hold frame rates on ≤4K canvases.
