GPU Role

The RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for 1080p and 1440p rendering, as evidenced by the measured frame rates. At 1080p Low, the GPU delivers 139.9 FPS, and at 1440p Low it still reaches 95.4 FPS. However, at 4K Ultra, the average drops to 25.1 FPS, a clear sign that the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is likely sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result suggests the game's memory demands exceed what the card can efficiently handle at that resolution. The GPU's average benchmark score of 19774 places it in the 63rd percentile, and it is 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, 0.5% ahead of the RTX 2070, and 0.8% ahead of the Quadro K5200. These margins are small, indicating the RTX 2060 SUPER is a mid-range performer that can handle most titles at 1080p and 1440p but struggles with 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a steep drop as resolution increases. For High settings, the average goes from 95.3 FPS at 1080p to 60.1 FPS at 1440p, then to 31.7 FPS at 4K. Low settings follow a similar pattern: 139.9 → 95.4 → 49.2. Medium settings: 107.3 → 72.6 → 39.4. Ultra settings: 75.4 → 48.9 → 25.1. The scaling is consistent—each step from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 35–40%, and from 1440p to 4K by another 45–50%. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU is not the limiting factor because even at 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 139.9, which is high enough to suggest the CPU can feed the GPU without issue. The 4K results, especially at Ultra (25.1 FPS), confirm that the RTX 2060 SUPER is not designed for 4K gaming in this title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best experience depends on the target resolution. At 1080p, High settings deliver 95.3 FPS, which is smooth and visually rich; Ultra drops to 75.4 FPS, still playable but with diminishing returns. For 1440p, Medium provides 72.6 FPS, which is the sweet spot—High yields 60.1 FPS, which is borderline, while Low reaches 95.4 FPS but sacrifices visual quality. At 4K, only Low achieves a playable average of 49.2 FPS; Medium (39.4), High (31.7), and Ultra (25.1) all fall below the 40 FPS threshold. Therefore, the recommended presets are High at 1080p, Medium at 1440p, and Low at 4K. These choices balance frame rate and visual fidelity according to the measured data.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination ranks 1216th out of 1656 tested configurations, placing it in the lower third of the database. This is a modest result, driven primarily by the GPU's mid-range standing. The CPU, however, is a high-end part: its 84th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 27220 put it 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K, 0.8% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700H, and 1.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340. The GPU, with an average score of 19774, is only 0.3% ahead of the GTX TITAN and 0.5% ahead of the RTX 2070. This disparity—strong CPU, mid-range GPU—explains why the combo ranks relatively low: the GPU cannot fully utilize the CPU's potential in demanding resolutions. In The Technomancer, the GPU is the limiting factor, and the combo's rank reflects that.

| 3840x2160 | Low | 49.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 39.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 25.1 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 60.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 95.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 72.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 48.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 95.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 139.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 107.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 75.4 |

The data shows a clear hierarchy: 1080p delivers the highest frame rates across all settings, with Low reaching 139.9 FPS and Ultra still hitting 75.4 FPS. At 1440p, the range narrows from 95.4 (Low) to 48.9 (Ultra). At 4K, only Low exceeds 40 FPS, and Ultra falls to 25.1 FPS. These numbers confirm that the RTX 2060 SUPER is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for the lowest preset.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 (Cezanne) processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, base clock 3.70 GHz, and boost clock 4.60 GHz. Its TDP is 65 W, and it supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 20655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2916 in single-core, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 901. These numbers place it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. In The Technomancer, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (139.9) and 1440p Low (95.4) indicate that the CPU is not a bottleneck at these settings. Even at 4K, where frame rates drop to 25–49 FPS, the CPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor because the GPU's rendering load increases disproportionately. The game, released in 2016, is not heavily multithreaded, so the 8-core/16-thread configuration provides ample headroom. The CPU's strong single-thread performance, as shown by its 3DMark single-thread score of 901, ensures that even older game engines that rely on a few threads will run efficiently. Overall, the Ryzen 7 5700 is a capable partner for the RTX 2060 SUPER, but the GPU's mid-range nature caps the combo's overall performance.
