The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and AMD Radeon RX 570 combination produces frame data in The Technomancer that places the pairing at 3,523rd out of 3,696 tested game-plus-hardware combos. That rank puts it in the lower segment of the field, though the individual components show they are capable in many other titles. The measured frame values for this game, at four presets and three resolutions, are the basis for the breakdown below.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured rank of 3,523 among 3,696 tested combinations puts this CPU-GPU pairing in the bottom sixth of the sample. To put that in perspective, the CPU alone sits in the 78th percentile of all tested CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 74th percentile of all tested GPUs. That gap — strong components but a weak game-specific score — suggests that The Technomancer is particularly demanding or poorly optimised for this hardware combination. The numbers are unambiguous: at the most extreme setting (4K Ultra), the average frame rate drops to 13 FPS, and even the 1080p Medium preset stays at 53 FPS. The ranking is driven primarily by GPU-limited performance at high resolution and high effects, not by CPU headroom.

GPU Role

The GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 570, released in April 2017 and now marked as end-of-life. Its Polaris 20 chip uses the GCN 4.0 architecture, built on a 14 nm process. The board carries 4 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The chip contains 2,048 shading units, 128 texture units, and 32 render output units. The base clock is 1,168 MHz with a boost of 1,244 MHz, and the memory runs at 1,750 MHz, reaching 7 Gbps effective. Peak theoretical numbers include a pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s, and a single-precision compute rate of 5.095 TFLOPS.

Against its closest rivals by aggregate benchmark score, the RX 570 is nearly identical: it sits 0.4% below the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, 0.7% above the Radeon R9 M295X, 0.8% below the Radeon RX 470, and 1.2% above the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000. Those deltas are less than 2%, so the RX 570 is essentially in a cluster of mid-range to upper-midrange GPUs from similar eras.

In The Technomancer, the GPU's score impact is most obvious in the resolution scaling. The VRAM size of 4 GB and a 224 GB/s bandwidth are modest, but the real bottleneck appears to be raw compute. At 1080p Low, the card manages 68 FPS, which is respectable for a midrange GPU. Lifting settings to Ultra at the same resolution drops the frame rate to 35 FPS, a reduction of roughly half. That pattern holds across all resolutions: the Ultra setting rewards through 4K down to 13 FPS. The GPU is the clear limiting component at 4K, where even Low only achieves 25 FPS.

CPU Role

The CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 7600, a Zen 4 “Raphael” part built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs six cores and twelve threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost of 5.10 GHz. The TDP is only 65 W, which matches its efficient 117 mm² die - the die size is 117 mm², not 100 mm, but the number is exactly 250? No, dieSize is 7.27 mm²? Wait, the JSON says dieSize: "71 mm²". That's correct. So the CPU has a 71 mm² die. L1 cache is 64 KB per core, L2 is 1 MB per core, and L3 is 32 MB shared. It uses a dual-channel DDR5 memory bus with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and the CPU also supports ECC memory.

The Ryzen's benchmarks are strong. Cinebench R23 scores 12,735 multi-core and 1,852 single-core. Geekbench 6 delivers 13,441 multi-core and 252 single-score. PassMark multithreaded performance is 27,058. The single-thread score for PassMark is 3,910. With a CPU percentile of 78, it sits in the top quarter of all tested CPUs. Its nearest rivals on aggregate score include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (score difference 0.2), the Ryzen 7 7435HS (difference -0.3), the Core i9-11900KF (difference 0.4), and the Ryzen 5 8540U (difference 0.5). All of those are within a fraction of a percent - the 7600 is essentially equal to its closest peers

In no The Technomancer, the CPU's influence can be seen at the lowest settings. At 1080p Low, the frame rate averages 68 FPS, which indicates that the CPU can drive frame generation consistently. When boosting the game to Ultra at the same resolution, the frame rate drops to 35 FPS, a difference of 33 FPS with the same CPU. That scaling implies a shift from CPU-limited to GPU-limited. At 4K, the CPU's contribution is largely moot; even a high-end CPU would not help because the GPU cannot produce enough frames.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame data for the Ryzen 5 7600 + RX 570 combo in The Technomancer is presented below.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

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

| 3840x2160 | High | 16 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 25 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 19 | 16 | 22 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 13 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | High | 29 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 45 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 34 | 29 | 40 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 23 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | High | 45 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 68 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 53 | 45 | 60 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 35 | - | - |

The table shows the full measured set. Only the Medium preset in each resolution has reported min and max values, which are consistent with the averages. For example, at 1440p Medium the min frame is 29 and max is 40, so the 34 average suggests the performance is relatively stable for that preset.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drops are steep as resolution increases. For the High preset, 1080p averages 45, 1440p drops to 29, and 4K drops to 16. That is a 16-frame drop from 1080p to 4K, with over half of the loss occurring between the two lower resolutions. For the Low preset, the scale is 68 (1080p) → 45 (1440p) → 25 (4K) The difference of 23 between 1080 and 1440 tells us the GPU is the principle limiter at this point; if the CPU were the bottleneck, the drop would be faster. With the Medium preset, 53 → 34 → 19 shows a similar behavior. For Ultra, 35 → 23 → 13.

The consistent pattern — a roughly 40-50% reduction at each step higher resolution — rises from the GPU's compute and memory limits. Having a 4 GB buffer, the surfaces at 4K occupy most of the memory, contributing to the low scores. The FPS scaling does indicate that a budget CPU cannot fix the issue; the 7600 is strong enough to deliver 68 FPS at 1080p Low, but the GPU leads to a 68 → 25 crash at 4K. The pattern is classic: strengths in the CPU's single-thread performance (Geekbench 6 1,852 single-core) do not offset the GPU's lacks.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows dictate which preset to experience at each resolution. At 1080p, every preset stays above 30 FPS, with Low reaching 68, Medium 53, High 45, and Ultra 35. For a smooth experience with modest quality, Medium is a rule of thumb: 53 FPS average with a min of 45, no issues with stutter. The High setting gives a larger quality improvement for a 8 FPS loss (45 vs 53), and even Ultra is playable if the player accepts 35 FPS. As there are no extreme dips on Ultra (min is null), the data cannot guarantee consistency, but the average is acceptable.

At 1440p, the settings tiers split more distinctly. Low averages 45 FPS, Medium 34 FPS, but High falls to 29 and Ultra to 23. The best experience is either Low (to keep above the 40s) or Medium (which touches 34 FPS with a 29 FPS minimum). If a 30-FPS minimum is your threshold, Medium is safer because the observable min is exactly 29. High and Ultra both dip below 30 average, so not recommended.

For 4K, no setting reaches a solid 30 FPS. The only preset with an average above 25 is Low at 25 FPS; Medium is 19, High 16, Ultra 13. The data shows that even Low at 4K is borderline, as the age — 2016 game — cannot reliably hit 30. We recommend running this resolution with Low to get the least compromised experience; alternatively, drop to 1440p and use Medium for a much better result. The 4K panel will be smoother with Low, but the benchmark suggests it is barely playable.

Ultimately, the combination is best suited at 1080p Ultra or High, or 1440p Medium/Low safe for 30 FPS. For 4K, the game is not realistically playable beyond the lowest settings. The Ryzen 5 7600 is a potent CPU, and the RX 570 is a modest but capable GPU for its era; but The Technomancer at 4K represents the limit of this pairing.
