The Technomancer

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER lands at rank 161 out of 1,656 tested combos in The Technomancer. That places this configuration in the top 10% of all combinations evaluated, a strong showing for a 2016 Action RPG that is not particularly demanding by modern standards. The rank reflects a system with substantial headroom; the data shows this combo outperforms the vast majority of alternatives tested, though it does not reach the very top tier of results.

Benchmark results indicate the CPU contributes an average benchmark score of 26,617, which places it at the 83rd percentile against all processors. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, scores 26,574, a delta of just 0.2% — effectively a statistical tie. The Intel Core i9-12900HK trails by 0.2% with a score of 26,672, while the AMD EPYC 8024P and Intel Core i9-11900K are within 0.2% and 0.3% respectively. This clustering shows the Ryzen 5 7600 sits in a very competitive performance band, where single-digit percentage differences separate it from both older flagship and newer mobile parts.

For the GPU, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER averages 48,704 in benchmark scores, holding the 86th percentile among all graphics cards. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, scores 49,071, a 0.7% advantage for the mining card. The RTX A2000 is 1.6% behind, and the RTX A1000 Mobile trails by 2%. The Intel Arc A550M leads by 2.1% with a score of 49,737. These margins are tiny, but the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's position in the upper percentile ranks confirms it as a high-end part that pairs logically with a mid-range Zen 4 CPU for this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory capacity is generous for a game from 2016, allowing high-resolution textures and settings without VRAM pressure. The GPU's clock speeds are set at 2,340 MHz base and 2,610 MHz boost, with memory running at 1,313 MHz or 21 Gbps effective. These figures, combined with 8,448 shading units and 96 ROPs, give the card a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s.

In The Technomancer, the GPU's role is dominant at higher resolutions. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra drops to 48.7, while 4K Low reaches 98.5. This spread of nearly 50 FPS between the lowest and highest settings at 4K shows the GPU is the primary throughput bottleneck when pixel count and graphical load rise. The card's FP32 throughput of 44.10 TFLOPS is ample for this title, and the data suggests the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER never becomes the limiting factor at 1080p, where even Ultra settings produce 141.2 FPS. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) is also forward-compatible with the game's rendering paths, though The Technomancer predates many modern features.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost up to 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, offering 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This configuration yields strong single-thread performance — a 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and a Cinebench R23 single-core result of 3,246 — which matters for a game that relies heavily on one or two primary threads.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are also solid, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22,992 and a 3DMark max-threads result of 6,503. PassMark data shows 80,581 in integer math and 48,107 in floating-point math, alongside a multithread score of 27,058. In The Technomancer, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 277.1 FPS, a figure that is likely CPU-limited given the GPU's headroom at that setting. The difference between 1080p Low and 1080p Ultra is 135.9 FPS, but the CPU must keep up with the frame generation at high rates. The Ryzen 5 7600's 12 threads handle the game's logic and draw calls without issue, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates across settings at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a clear progression across settings. Low delivers 277.1 FPS, Medium 213, High 180.5, and Ultra 141.2. The step from Low to Medium is 64.1 FPS, while Medium to High drops 32.5 FPS, and High to Ultra loses 39.3 FPS. These numbers indicate that even at Ultra, the combo maintains well above 140 FPS, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays. The 1080p results are consistent with a GPU that is not fully stressed until Ultra, where the added shading and effects begin to bite.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS at Low is 180.4, Medium 140.4, High 118, and Ultra 94.4. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each setting is roughly 35-40%, reflecting the increased pixel count. At 1440p Ultra, the 94.4 FPS remains playable for most users, though the gap to 60 FPS is comfortable. The 1440p High result of 118 FPS is particularly strong, showing the combo can handle demanding settings without dipping below the 100 FPS mark.

At 3840x2160, the results scale as expected. Low produces 98.5 FPS, Medium 75.5, High 64.8, and Ultra 48.7. The 4K Ultra figure falls below the 60 FPS threshold, which may require settings adjustments for a locked 60 FPS experience. The 4K Low result of 98.5 FPS demonstrates the GPU's capability at reduced graphical fidelity, but the 4K Ultra number shows the limits of this combination when pushed to maximum quality at 8.3 million pixels. Across all resolutions, the data shows no min or max FPS values, only averages, which means frame pacing consistency is not captured in this dataset.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is significant and reveals the limiting component. At Low settings, 1080p yields 277.1 FPS, while 4K yields 98.5 — a reduction of 178.6 FPS, or roughly 64% lower. At Medium, the drop is from 213 to 75.5, a 64.5% reduction. High settings fall from 180.5 to 64.8, a 64.1% reduction. Ultra settings drop from 141.2 to 48.7, a 65.5% reduction. This consistent 64-66% decline across settings points squarely at the GPU as the scaling bottleneck. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's pixel throughput — 250.6 GPixel/s — is fixed, so rendering 4K requires four times the pixel work of 1080p, and the measured FPS declines accordingly.

The CPU's influence on resolution scaling is minimal, as evidenced by the fact that the percentage drop is nearly identical across all settings. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the drop from 1080p to 4K would be smaller at lower settings, where the GPU has more headroom. Instead, the data shows a uniform scaling curve, indicating the GPU is saturated at 4K regardless of quality preset. At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more pronounced; the fact that 1080p Low (277.1 FPS) is only slightly higher than 1440p Low (180.4 FPS) in relative terms suggests the GPU is still doing most of the work, but the 6-core/12-thread CPU keeps pace without bottlenecking.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steeper than from 1080p to 1440p, which is expected given the non-linear pixel increase. 1440p to 4K is a 2.25x pixel jump, and the FPS drops by roughly 45-48% across settings, matching the theoretical load increase. This pattern confirms that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's memory bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s and compute capacity define the performance ceiling at high resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 7600's 32 MB L3 cache and 5.10 GHz boost clock ensure the GPU is fed with data without introducing CPU-side stalls.
