The Technomancer

The Technomancer pairs an action RPG release from 2016-06-27 with a modern CPU and GPU: the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (six cores, twelve threads, base 3.70 GHz, boost 5.00 GHz) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (16 GB GDDR7, 256-bit bus, 960.0 GB/s bandwidth, boost 2617 MHz). The measured FPS rows in this database put this combination at rank 195 out of 3696 tested combos, placing it in the top 5.3% of all configurations. The CPU alone sits in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU reaches the 87th percentile among all GPUs, and the average benchmark scores are 24964 for the CPU and 56068 for the GPU. The game itself is an action RPG from the mid-2010s, and the data shows how this high-end modern part pair behaves across resolutions and detail presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7500F and RTX 5080 achieves a combo rank of 195 out of 3696 tested combos for The Technomancer. That means this setup finishes in the top 5.27% of all configurations in the database – well above the median, and only 0.4% below the nearest GPU rival in average score. The GPU is the more dominant component in this pairing: its benchmark average score of 56083 is about 1.1% higher than its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 8060S (score 55517), and it is 2.2% higher than the RX 9070 GRE (score 57367). On the GPU side, the CPU has an average score of 24964, slightly above the Intel Core i7-11850H (24935) and Intel Core i7-13620H (24911), but slightly below the Ryzen 5 8400F (25005). These percent differences reinforce that the overall combo rank is driven balanced by both parts, but the RTX 5080’s 87th percentile standing and the CPU’s 77th percentile mean the GPU is more of an outlier relative to its generation.

In the context of the full combo leaderboard, this rank of 195 / 3696 indicates that the vast majority of tested systems are slower. That is expected given the high-end GPU and strong mid-high-end CPU. The RTX 5080 alone ranks in the top 13% of all GPUs, and the CPU ranks in the top 23% of all CPUs, so it is not a one-sided pairing. The measurements confirm that the combo is never CPU-bound at the resolutions tested, as the FPS stays above 200 at 1080p even on Ultro.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, using the TSMC 5nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. Its cache structure comprises 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. This CPU is the part that most determines the game’s logic, physics, AI, and scene traversal. The Technomancer is an older title from 2016, so it likely uses a limited number of threads; the strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score 3218) and high boost clock generate quick responses for the game’s main loop.

The CPU’s multi-threaded performance is also robust. In Cinebench R23 multicore it scores 22799 points, and PassMark multithread is 26825. These are above the averages obtained by several near-rivals: the Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, the i7-13620H 24911, and the Core 5 210H 24872, while the Ryzen 5 8400F narrowly surpasses it at 25005. The deltaPct values are +0.1% to -0.2%, indicating the CPU is effectively interchangeable with these four parts in raw compute. That parity explains why the FPS at 1080p Low is very close to the same system with a slightly different CPU – the game’s performance ceiling at high FPS is limited by the game logic or draw, not by the CPU.

Memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s is important for texture streaming in an open-world action RPG, but the 5-nm process and high boost clock already put it well above the requirements of a 2016 title. The CPU’s 65W TDP and TSMC 5nm node also keep thermals reasonable, though the measurement environment does not include any power or thermal data. The launch MSRP of the CPU was $179.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is a Blackwell-generation GPU with a GB203 chip, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, and memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. Its clock speeds are a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2617 MHz. It features 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, 112 ROPs, and 84 ray tracing cores. In the FPS breakdown, the GPU is the main ingredient in handling the rendering resolution, especially at 4K, where the workload increases linearly with pixel count.

The GPU’s benchmark scores are strong: a 3DMark Steel Nomad of 8637, and Passmark G3D of 36523. These place it in the 87th percentile against all GPUs. In the nearest rival table, the RTX 5080 is benchmarked 0.6% above the AMD Radeon 8060S, 0.7% above the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, and 2.3% above the Radeon Pro W5700X, but 2.2% behind the RX 9070 GRE. This indicates that within the tested database, the 5080 sits in a tight band of high-end GPUs where the difference in full-system performance in The Technomancer will be minor.

The game is from 2016 and is not known as a GPU-heavy title, so the RTX 5080 is overqualified for the title. However, the 16 GB VRAM and high memory bandwidth make it future-proof for other games, and the data shows that at 4K, even with Ultra settings, the GPU still only delivers 57 FPS. The combination is limited by game’s design, not the hardware. The launch MSRP of the GPU was 999 USD.

FAQ

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 7500F compare to its closest CPU rival?

A: In the CPU benchmark data, the Ryzen 5 7500F has an average score of 24964. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, a +0.1% delta; the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911 (+0.2%), and the Core 5 210H scores 24872 (+0.4%). Only the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F edges past it at 25005 (-0.2%). So the 7500F is essentially identical in raw compute to these alternatives.

Q: What is the best resolution near 4K for this combo?

A: Based on the measured frames, at 4K with Medium settings the combo averages 85 FPS with a minimum of 72 FPS. At High settings it drops to 73 FPS, and at Ultra to 57 FPS. The Medium preset appears to provide the most balanced result at 4K, while still smoothing above 70 FPS.

Q: At 1080p, what setting yields the highest average FPS?

A: The 1080p Low preset reaches 276 FPS average, which is the highest of all settings. Medium yields 237 FPS, High yields 202, and Ultra yields 158 FPS.

Q: Is the RTX 5080 the bottleneck?

A: The FPS scaling with resolution suggests the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low the CPU can push 276 FPS and 4K low still reaches 111 FPS. But at 4K Ultra, the average falls to 57 FPS, which indicates that the GPU is not delivering the performance headroom to maintain high FPS at full detail. The CPU’s scores, meanwhile, are far above any plausible requirement.

Q: What does the combo rank tell us?

A: This combo is ranked 195 out of 3696 tested combos. That places it in the top 5.27% of all configurations, so it is a top-tier setup in the database. The CPU is in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU in the 87th percentile.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS for each setting across resolutions paints a clear picture. At Low settings, the average goes 276 (1920x1080) → 202 (2560x1440) → 111 (3840x2160). The drop from 1080p to 4K is significant – more than half at the low-quality setting, but still above 100 FPS at 112. At Medium settings, values are 237 → 155 → 85. The minimum and maximum for Medium are 201 / 273 at 1080p, 132 / 178 at 1440p, and 72 / 98 at 4K. High settings: 202 → 132 → 73. Ultra: 158 → 103 → 55. The average for Ultra at 4K is 57 FPS, which is the only measurement that drops below 60 FPS.

The scaling is roughly geometric: for each resolution step, the pixel count jumps by a factor of 1.5 (from 1080p to 1440p) and 2.25 (from 1440p to 4K). The FPS drop due to these increases is dramatic, indicating that the dominating factor is pixel fill rate and texture bandwidth – both GPU duties. The CPU performance is constant across resolutions, so the FPS degradation is almost entirely attributed to the GPU workload. At 4K, the Ultra setting falls to 57 FPS, but the Medium and High settings remain respectively at 85 and 73, meaning players can avoid the low FPS by not maximizing every setting.

Settings Recommendations

The data suggest that for a smooth experience, the Medium preset is the most stable if we want a chance of maintaining high FPS at 4K. At 4K Medium yields 85 FPS average with a 72 FPS minimum, which is a pleasing result for an action RPG. The High preset is only 73 average, while Ultra is 57, below the smooth-100 level. At 1440p, Medium hits 155 average (min 132), while Ultra reaches 103. At 1080p, even Ultra provides 158 FPS, so Ultra is fully playable at that resolution.

If the player prioritises competitive or high-FPS gameplay, the Low preset on 1080p delivers 276 FPS, which gives the best headroom for a 144Hz or higher monitor. However, the Medium quality loss exceeds that of Low, and the Delta in FPS is large (from 276 to 237). For most players, at 4K or 1440p Medium is the sweet spot, while at 1080p any setting works but Ultra may be the best.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the average FPS (with min/max shown when measured) for every resolution–settings combination.

| Resolution | Settings | avg | min | max |

|-------------|----------|------|------|------|

| 1920x1080 | Low | 276 | (null) | (null) |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 237 | 201 | 273 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 202 | (null) | (null) |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 158 | (null) | (null) |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 202 | (null) | (null) |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 155 | 132 | 178 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 132 | (null) | (null) |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 103 | (null) | (null) |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 111 | (null) | (null) |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 85 | 72 | 98 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 73 | (null) | (null) |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 57 | (null) | (null) |

Note that the min and max for the Low, High, and Ultra settings were not measured, so only the Medium preset has stability numbers. For the Medium preset, the frametimes are consistent within the given ranges. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 72 FPS ensures no dropped below the refresh rate of many monitors, and the maximum 98 FPS is high enough. At 1080p Medium, minimum 201 and max 273 gives a very broad range; the average of 237 is well passable. At 1440p Medium, min 132 to max 155, so the scene can be dynamic, but still no evident stutter.

These numbers confirm that the Game is heavily resolution-bound. The Ultra setting at 4K is the only one that falls below an average of 57 FPS, which may be considered unplayable for some users. However, the Medium setting at 4K provides 85 FPS, which is likely smooth in all but the most sensitive gameplay. The CPU and GPU are both high-end, and when paired together they run the 2016 RPG without issue, with the GPU being the limiting factor at higher resolutions.
