The Technomancer

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates across resolutions reveal a system that transitions from CPU-bound at 1080p to GPU-bound at 4K. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 233.8 FPS, which is remarkably close to the 201.9 FPS seen at 2560x1440 Low. This modest 13.6% drop when moving from 1080p to 1440p suggests the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is the limiting factor at these lower resolutions, as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 has ample headroom to render frames far faster than the CPU can feed it.

The scaling picture changes dramatically when pushing to 3840x2160. At 4K Low, the average FPS falls to 118.5, a 41.3% reduction from the 1440p Low result. This steep decline indicates the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at 4K, with the RTX 4090's rendering workload dominating the frame time budget. The pattern is consistent across all quality settings: the 1440p to 4K transition always produces a larger percentage drop than the 1080p to 1440p transition.

Looking at High settings specifically, the progression from 201.4 FPS at 1080p to 140.6 FPS at 1440p represents a 30.2% decrease, while moving from 1440p to 4K High yields 76.9 FPS, a 45.3% drop. This widening delta at higher resolutions confirms the system shifts from a CPU-limited scenario at 1080p to a GPU-limited one at 4K. The Ryzen 7 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads provide sufficient throughput for high refresh rates at lower resolutions, but the RTX 4090's massive rendering pipeline — including 16,384 shading units and 512 texture mapping units — becomes the determining factor once pixel counts escalate.

Ultra settings amplify this trend. The 1080p Ultra result of 171.3 FPS drops to 112.4 FPS at 1440p, a 34.4% reduction, then plummets to 61.8 FPS at 4K Ultra, a 45.0% further decline. The 4K Ultra figure being below 60 FPS territory indicates that even this flagship GPU struggles with the most demanding configuration of this 2016 Action RPG. The data shows a balanced system at 1080p, a GPU-leaning setup at 1440p, and a strictly GPU-bound configuration at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database of 1,656 tested combinations for The Technomancer, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 secures position 74. That places it in the top 4.5% of all tested combos, a strong showing that reflects the GPU's dominance in this title. The RTX 4090's percentile rank of 91 among all GPUs aligns with this placement, while the CPU's percentile of 83 among all processors is slightly lower, suggesting the graphics card carries more weight in determining overall game performance.

The Ryzen 7 5700G's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks help contextualize its role. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U scores 25,706, a mere 0.3% higher than the 5700G's 25,626 average benchmark score. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER sits 0.4% behind, and the Intel Core 5 210H trails by 0.5%. These negligible deltas indicate the 5700G performs essentially on par with a range of mobile and server processors in general compute, but its desktop positioning with 16 MB of L3 cache and DDR4 memory support proves adequate for feeding the RTX 4090 at most settings.

For the GPU side, the RTX 4090's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla T4 at 66,733 (0.4% higher), the Tesla P40 at 66,127 (0.5% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 67,097 (0.9% higher). These workstation-oriented cards bracket the RTX 4090's average benchmark score of 66,473, yet none of them appear in gaming-focused measurements. In The Technomancer specifically, the RTX 4090's combination of 24 GB GDDR6X memory and 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 compute delivers frame rates that place this combo well above the median tested configuration.

The rank of 74 out of 1,656 combos translates to a performance level that exceeds approximately 95.5% of all tested pairings. This positioning reflects the reality that while the CPU is not the absolute fastest available, the RTX 4090's sheer rendering power compensates in most scenarios. The gap between the 5700G's 83rd percentile and the RTX 4090's 91st percentile suggests that pairing this GPU with a higher-end CPU could yield even better results, but the current combo still delivers top-tier performance in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers consistently high frame rates across all quality presets. Low settings produce 233.8 FPS, Medium achieves 216.7 FPS, High reaches 201.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 171.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 62.5 FPS, indicating that quality settings have a measurable but not overwhelming impact at this resolution. The 5700G's 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz provides enough single-thread throughput to keep frame rates in the high triple digits even at Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results show a clear step down. Low settings yield 201.9 FPS, Medium produces 168.6 FPS, High delivers 140.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 112.4 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 89.5 FPS, a wider gap than at 1080p. This suggests that the RTX 4090's rendering workload is beginning to dominate, with the GPU's 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth and 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate becoming more significant factors.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress into a narrower band. Low settings achieve 118.5 FPS, Medium reaches 93.0 FPS, High produces 76.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 61.8 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra spread here is 56.7 FPS, smaller in absolute terms than at 1440p but representing a larger proportional drop. The 4K Ultra figure of 61.8 FPS is the only measured result below 70 FPS, highlighting the demanding nature of this configuration.

Across all resolutions, the scaling from Low to Ultra follows a consistent pattern: Medium settings typically recover roughly half the performance lost when moving from Low to Ultra. At 1080p, Medium sits 17.1 FPS below Low and 45.4 FPS above Ultra. At 1440p, Medium is 33.3 FPS below Low and 56.2 FPS above Ultra. At 4K, Medium trails Low by 25.5 FPS and leads Ultra by 31.2 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 serves as the primary performance driver in this combo, particularly at higher resolutions and quality settings. Its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which proves essential for feeding the 16,384 shading units and 512 texture mapping units at 4K resolutions. The GPU's base clock of 2235 MHz and boost clock of 2520 MHz, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, deliver 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

The RTX 4090's 128 ray tracing cores and 512 tensor cores are present but less relevant for a 2016 Action RPG that predates widespread ray tracing adoption. More important for this title are the 176 raster operation units, which drive the 443.5 GPixel/s pixel fill rate. This pixel throughput directly impacts how quickly the GPU can resolve the complex scenes in The Technomancer, especially at 4K where pixel count quadruples compared to 1080p.

The GPU's memory configuration plays a critical role in the measured results. With 24 GB of GDDR6X, the RTX 4090 never approaches memory capacity limits in this game, eliminating any potential stuttering or texture loading bottlenecks. The 384-bit memory interface ensures that the 1.01 TB/s bandwidth is available for both frame buffer writes and texture fetches, which is particularly beneficial at Ultra settings where higher-quality textures demand more memory traffic.

The RTX 4090's position relative to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks — within 1.3% of the NVIDIA Quadro P6000 and 0.9% of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 — underscores its workstation-class compute capability. However, in gaming-specific workloads like The Technomancer, the GPU's gaming-oriented design with display outputs including HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a ensures that high refresh rate monitors can be fully utilized at 1080p and 1440p. The 450 W TDP and triple-slot cooler design indicate that sustained performance at 4K Ultra requires substantial power delivery, but the measured 61.8 FPS at that setting shows the GPU maintains playable frame rates even under maximum load.
