The Technomancer

The Technomancer is an Action RPG that launched in June 2016, and this pairing pairs the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The measured data shows a solid mainstream-to-enthusiast combo capable of high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, with respectable 4K performance on the high preset.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination ranks at position 592 out of 3696 total tested CPU+GPU combinations for this game, placing it well above the median tested setup. The data indicates this is a strong pairing in the context of The Technomancer's load, not the absolute top tier, but far from a compromise build.

The processor itself sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs tracked, with an average benchmark score of 27636. In the CPU side, the measured performance is virtually identical to its closest rivals: the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (27578) and the Intel Core i5-12600K (27578), with both sitting 0.2% below the 7600X. Turning the leaf slightly, but within noise margin, the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE (27712) runs 0.3% ahead of the 7600X, meaning the 8500GE edges past it by a sliver. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (27535) sits 0.4% behind.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER holds the 83rd percentile among all graphics cards with a G3D average benchmark score of 43223. Its immediate neighbors in the leaderboard are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, 0.1% ahead) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, 0.1% ahead), both just edging out the 4070 SUPER by a hair. The Quadro M6000 (43301) is 0.2% ahead, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667) holds a 1% lead. In short, the GPU sits comfortably in the upper echelon of graphics cards.

Together, the 7600X and 4070 SUPER produce a balanced platform. The 592/3696 rank shows that many faster combinations exist, but relative to the whole field this is a very capable setup. Does any combo top it? Not among the tested frames in this game, but there marks such as the 4K, 1440p and 1080p results below show how it behaves.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER carries 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory amount is enough for The Technomancer’s high and ultra settings, even at 4K, where the game rarely needs more than 12 GB. The boost clock is 2475 MHz with a base of 1980 MHz; the memory runs at 21 Gbps effective.

With 7168 shading units, 224 TMUs and 560 RT cores, the GPU is built for raster work and accelerated ray tracing cores—though this 2016 title doesn't push RT. The raster muscle matters more here, and the measured frames confirm the GPU is not starved at 1080p. At 4K on the Ultra preset, the average grinds down to 48 FPS, whereas on High it reaches 61 FPS. The gap between the two presets suggests heavy reliance on the GPU’s shading and memory bandwidth.

The GPU benchmark (average 2048) might not be a perfect match for this aging title, but the in-game numbers are the real story. The 4070 SUPER is not limited by the 12 GB frame buffer at this game; the bottleneck in the extreme cases shows at the frame time at Ultra 4K, which drops heavily. Since the game launched in 2016, the directX 12 path is likely manage, and the Ada Lovelace architecture's capabilities exist behind the different angles.

Resolution Scaling

Frame rates across the measured resolutions follow a physical descent. On the High preset, 1080p delivers 170 FPS, 1440p drops to 111 fps, and 4K arrives at 61 FPS. That is a clear distancing: nearly a third of the performance is gone between 1080p and 1440p, and more from 1440p to 4K. The same pattern appears on Medium: 109p 199, 1440p 130, 4K 71. On Low, 1080p pushes 259 FPS, 1440p 169, 4K 93. Ultra shows 108 133, 1440p 87, 4K 48.

The resolution granularity is telling. The 1440p to 4K drop is steeper than the 1080p to 1440p transition, which is typical of a GPU-bound segment at higher resolutions. At 1080p the CPU might clock up, but there's no hint that the 6-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 bottlenecks; the last 259 FPS at 1080p Low indicates the whole sub is fine. However, the game's engine isn't pushing extreme frame counts. The 7600X's boost clock of 5.30 GHz and base 4.70 GHz give it enough single-thread strength, as seen in the Passmark single-thread score of 4135.

Data suggests the RTX 4070 SUPER is the main limiter when dropping to 4K. At 1080p Ultra the GPU still provides 30 FPs, meaning you have RGB, but not much to spare for custom mods. Should the user want extremely high refresh at 1080p, the CPU could feed the GPU: at Low, 259 FPS shows the CPU keeps up; after all, the game's early age favors not an issue.

Settings Recommendations

Finding dszngsettings that optimize visual quality and smooth using the measured rows is straightforward.

• At 4K Ultra, you get 48 FPS, under 60, so it's not ideal for a 60 Hz display. Dropping to High yields 61 FPS, a full 13 frame bump (actually the delta from 48 to 61 is 13). With the High preset, 4K is playable. For those with 60 Hz screens, Medium at 70 FPS is one step lower but still looks good.
• At 1440p, High yields 118, Ultra yields 104? Wait, the measured numbers: High 111, Medium 130, Ultra 87. So clearly High beats Ultra by a large margin (87 vs 111), while Medium (130) is too blur for visuals. The Ultra slowdown is not worth the 87 min fps. For high refresh 144 Hz, Medium or High would hold. Ultra gives ~87 fps still over 60.
• At 1080p, Ultra yields 133 test, High yields 170, Medium 199, Low 259. For 144 Hz, Ultra is enough. For 160 Hz panels, Medium/High cover 165 Hz. So for 1080p with high refresh, either High or Medium.

The best practical choice for a balanced experience is a higher-quality preset where possible. This matches the data you have.

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 48 | - | - |

Note that the Medium presets at each resolution report a minimum and maximum row, which is a clue about frame pacing. For example, 1440p Medium min is 111 fps, below the 130 average, so there's occasional dips. Similarly, 1080p Medium has a 169 fps min and 199 fps avg. The high and ultra fields didn't record min/max data points.

These numbers are measured, not theoretical.

FAQ

Q: Does the RTX 4070 SUPER have enough VRAM for The Technopancer?

A: Yes. The card's 12 GB of GDDR6X is plenty even at 4K high preset; the game data confirms the GPU doesn't run out of memory at 4K, the bottleneck being compute performance.

Q: What preset delivers 60 FPS at 4K?

A: The data shows at 3840x2160, the High setting pushes 61 FPS, with Medium hitting 71. The Ultra setting only gives 48 FPS, so High is the weakest preset that secures 60+ avg.

Q: What's the best preset for 1080p high refresh?

A: 1080p Ultra reaches 133 FPS, High 170, and Medium 199. For 144 Hz, Ultra might be less than 140, so you go to High for 170. If you want to pin 200+, the Medium is 199 avg with min 169.

Q: Are the min FPS values close to the average?

A: Only the Medium presets recorded a min/max. 4K Medium has a min of 61 FPS vs avg 71; 1440p Medium min 110 vs avg 130; 1080p Medium min 169 vs avg 199. So frames aren't fully near average, but stays playable.

Q: How does the 7600X compare on the CPU side?

A: The CPU sits at the 79th percentile here, with average 27000. Its nearest rival, the Ryzen 5 8500GE, is 0.3% faster on the same test, while the 5700X and 12600K are 0.2% behind.

Q: Can this system run everything in The Technology at 1440p?

A: Yes. At 1440p, the lowest measured preset (Ultra) still gets 87 FPS, High goes to 111, and Medium 130. All stay above 85 FPS.

Now as a desktop setup, the combination of a 6-core Zen 4 CPU clocking to 5.30 GHz and a 12GB Ada Lovelace GPU delivers a consistent experience in The Technomancer, with sharp scaling from the 48 FPS 4K Ultra to a buttery 259 FPS at 1080p Low, giving you the headroom to play around with settings for years.
