The Technomancer

The Technomancer, an action RPG released on June 27, 2016, is tested here with an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (6 cores, 12 threads, base 4.70 GHz, boost 5.30 GHz, 105 W TDP, Zen 4 architecture) and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Pascal, 16 nm, 1920 shading units, 8 GB GDDR5, 150 W TDP). The CPU is a top-21% performer (79th percentile) with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15236 and single-core of 1965, while the GPU sits near the middle of the field at the 47th percentile. Measured FPS spans from 21 FPS at 4K Ultra to 117 FPS at 1080p Low, showing a strongly pixel-bound profile.

Resolution Scaling

Across the four measured presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), the GTX 1070’s output drops sharply as resolution climbs from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average FPS is 77 at 1080p, declining to 50 at 2560x1440 and to 27 at 4K. That represents a better-than-half reduction between 1080p and 4K: the 4K High value is roughly one-third of the 1080p number. The same pattern appears at Low, where the 1080p result of 117 FPS falls to 76 at 1440p and to 42 at 4K. Medium shows a step-down from 90 (1080p) to 59 (1440p) to 32 (4K). Ultra is the most GPU-hungry, but still keeps 60 at 1080p, then 39 at 1440p, and 21 at 4K.

The scaling suggests the GPU is the dominant constraint. The CPU is a high-clocked six-core with 4.70 GHz base and 5.30 GHz boost, and its single-thread scores—especially the 1060 in 3dmark and 1965 in Cinebench R23—are ample for this era of game. The near-linear relationship between resolution increases and FPS losses the product’s own pixels: every doubling of the rendered area approximately halves the framerate. For a 1440p medium preset, the 59 FPS observed is exactly half the 1080p Medium average of 90. That consistency across presets (the 4K/1080p ratio for High, Medium, and Ultra all fall between 0.35 and 0.40) points to a pixel-bound scenario where the CPU is never the limiter.

The GTX 1070 has a memory bandwidth of 256.3 GB/s and 8 GB of GDDR5, which is adequate for 1080p and still workable at 1440p, but at 4K the high 21–42 FPS figures indicate the board cannot feed the required fill rate. The 64 ROPS and 120 TMUs are the likely limit, but the data shows that for action RPG play, the user should target 1440p or below.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7600X provides six physical cores at 4.70 GHz base and a 5.30 GHz boost, with a total of 12 threads. That configuration is far beyond what The Technomancher needs—the game is notably GPU-bound in these measurements. For instance, the CPU’s PassMark single-thread score is 4135, and its Cinebench R23 single-core score is 1965. Multi-thread also strong: 15236 in Cinebench R23 and 13858 in Geekbench multi-core. In the 3dmark multi-thread test, the CPU reaches 6845 with max threads. These numbers place the 7600X in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27636. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is +0.2% over the Ryzen 7 5700X and Core i5-12600K (both with averages 27578), +0.4% over the Ryzen 7 5800 (27535), and -0.3% behind the Ryzen 5 8500GE (27712). This is a very solid middle-to-high-end chip.

Given the measured frames—a 1080p High average of 77 FPS, and the low FPS at high resolutions—the CPU is not under load. At 4K, the CPU would have to feed a GTX that is already spending its compute. The only practical effect of the CPU is to have a variable frame window: at 1080p Low, the GPU pushes out 117 FPS, while the CPU’s single-thread strength (boost 5.30 GHz, no overclocks) ensures no dropouts. The highest FPS seen (117 at 1080p Low) and the lowest (21 at 4K Ultra) are both GPU-bound in nature.

The GPU’s 1920 shading units and 64 ROPS, its 22.9 million transistors per mm², and its 150 W power envelope are the real story. The 1070 is also a 2016 release, same day as The Technomancer launch (June 2016). In short, the CPU is a strong partner, but the measured FPS scale follows the GPU’s pixel ability.

FAQ

Q: What average frame rate does the combo produce at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings?

A: 60 FPS as the average, with no min/max recorded for that preset. Medium at the same resolution gives an average of 90 FPS and a recorded min of 76 and a max of 103.

Q: Is the GTX 1070 fast enough for 4K gaming in The Technomancer?

A: No. The highest 4K average, which occurs at Low settings, only reaches 42 FPS; Medium drops to 32 High to 27, and Ultra to 21. All 4K presets lie below the 60 FPS mark.

Q: How does the Ryzen processor’s performance compare to its closest rivals?

A: The 7600X has an average benchmark score of 27636, which is 0.2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K (both 27578), 0.4% higher than the Ryzen 7 5800 (27535), but 0.3% lower than the Ryzen 5 8500GE (27712). Its 79th percentile overall CPU rank is the result.

Q: Does the game have a maximum or minimum recorded FPS for medium settings?

A: For Medium at 1440p, the minimum FPS is −the 50, and the maximum is 67. At 1080p Medium, the min is 76 and the max 103; at 4K Medium, the min is 27 and the max 37.

Q: What is the measured FPS at 1440p Low?

A: An average of 76 FPS. For context, 1440p Medium averages mean 59, High 50, and Ultra 39.

Q: What does the rank indicator at ComboRankInGame tell us?

A: The combo ranks 3057th out of 3696 combos tested for The Technomancer. That places it in the lower third of tested system pairings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, targeting 60 FPS at 1080p is easy: even Ultra averages exactly 60 FPS, and Medium/High both exceed that (90 and 77, respectively). For a fluid experience on a 60 Hz display, High or Medium are logical picks: both hold the average above 60 at 1080p and provide headroom for a 144 Hz screen, with 90 at Medium and 77 at High.

At 1440p, the averages drop to 50 (High) and 59 (Medium) ; the only preset that hits 60 exactly is 1080p Ultra, but at 1440p Ultra only 39 FPS is obtained. So to stay near 60 at 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the best choice, delivering 59 FPS. Low gives 76, which is appropriate for demanding scenes, However, less than 10% of the image quality are respons – and the 50 FPS – High is also playable if you accept slight variability.

4K is a playable only at lower presets: Low offers 42 FPS, Medium 27, High 27, and Ultra 21. The clear recommendation for a virtual cup is to run Low at 4K with 42 FPS—close to a 40 Hz refresh— but for competitive action, 1080p or 1440p Medium is the better balance of image detail and performance. The CPU has ample headroom, so the GPU determines the ceiling everywhere except the CPU at 1080p Low, which hits 117.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Ryzen 5 7600X and GTX 1070 yields comboRankInGame of 3057 out of 3696 tested combos in The Technomancer. That is a low placement, ranking in the 21st percentile of all tested (the data places it near the bottom quartile). The CPU alone sits in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, indicating that the GPU is the principal limiter in this game. The GPU’s own percentile is 47th, meaning the card is overage at ~50% of GPUs, but the game’s pixel requirements overwhelm it at 4K and beyond 1080p Medium.

The nearest GPU rivals are close – AMD FirePro W5000 (average 9803, −0.2%), NVIDIA Quadro M2000M (9832, −0.5%), and Tesla M10 (9724, +0.6%) and Tesla C2070 (9716, +0.7%). The GTX 1070 sits 0.2% below the FirePro and 0.5% below the Quadro, but slightly above both Tesla models. This indicates the GTX is near the bottom of its own performance band. Combined with a very-high CPU (79th percentile), the measured FPS values are entirely GPU-dependent. The low combo rank, combined with the low GPU percentile, suggests that a system with a more powerful GPU would have produced vastly higher FPS, whereas the CPU never came to be the bottleneck.

In the total pool of 3696 combos, the rank of 3053 means a median frame around the game's aggregate. The Pareto ratio of 3053/3696 is roughly 0.826, meaning the combo is from 80% worse combos than those in the top 20% of tested. But that is consistent with GeFort10 series and not a sign of problems – rather of the game's demands.

The Medium preset at 1080p does not only average 90, but also records a 76 low—100%, consistent with window of 76–103 FPS (27‑frame range). At 1440p, Medium’s range is 50–67, and at 4K Medium 27–37 (range 10, about 4ms). The absence of min/max for other presets means the only available variability data is for the Medium group.

These numbers give a precise baseline for the Ryzen 5 7600X and GTX 1070 in The Technomancer. The combination yields playable results at 1080p (all Presets above 60, and 117 at Low), usable at 1440p (59 on Medium), and not “smooth” anywhere above 1080p Medium.
