The Technomancer

The Technomancer is a 2016 action RPG. The benchmark results presented here pair an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. Across the resolution-by-settings matrix measured, average frame rates span from 55 FPS at 4K Ultra to 244 FPS at 1080p Low. The CPU scores in the 79th percentile among all processors tested, the GPU in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, and the combined system ranks 315 out of 3,696 tested pairs in this title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS table reveals a clear pattern: this combo is strong enough to run The Technomancer at maximum detail in most situations. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 152 FPS, which is more than enough for any high‑refresh display. The Medium preset reaches 222 FPS, and Low hits 244 FPS, but those extra frames come at the cost of visual fidelity that unavoidable at a game from 2016. For the best experience at that resolution, the Ultra preset is both performant and visually optimal — the 152‑FPS average leaves plenty of headroom for input latency reduction without hitting a frame‑rate ceiling.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset still averages 100 FPS, which is above the commonly cited 60-100 FPS comfort zone for action RPGs. The wall between Medium (149 FPS) and High (128 FPS) is less than 15 % in absolute terms, but the difference between Ultra and High is enough to make the drop to 100 FPS noticeable only on 165 Hz panels. For most users, selecting Ultra at 1440p provides the best balance of visual features and smoothness. If the display is 144 Hz or higher, stepping down to High (128 FPS) or Medium (150 FPS) may be preferable to push past the refresh ceiling.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. The Ultra preset dips to an average of 55 FPS — just below the 60 FPS line. The High preset, however, holds 70 FPS, which stays above the 60‑FPS target with room to spare. Given the large gap between High and Ultra (70 vs 55), and the small difference between High and Low (107), the best recommendation for 4K is the High preset. That delivers a stable 70 FPS average and avoids the expensive ray‑tracing cost from Ultra’s post‑processing (the title has no RT mentioned, but we can refer to the data). For players who prefer the absolute best image at the cost of occasionally dipping to the high‑50s, Ultra remains an option, but High is the statistically safest choice to maintain a lock over 60 FPS.

FAQ

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 5700X compare to its nearest rivals in average benchmark score?

A: The 5700X has an average benchmark score of 27,578, identical to the Intel Core i5-12600K (score 27,578, deltaPct 0). It is 0.2% slower than the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (27,535) and 0.3% faster than the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (27,507). The Ryzen 5 7600X is 0.2% faster (27,636) in the same comparison.

Q: What does the RTX 4080’s percentile ranking imply for this title?

A:** The GPU is in the 86th percentile of all GPUs tested. Its average benchmark score is 54,247; the RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 (0.1% below this score), and the Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% ahead with a score of 54,828. That puts the 4080 on a narrow tier between Super and W5700X.

Q: Is there any risk of the 16 GB VRAM being a limiting factor in this game?

A:** The RTX 4080 ships with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256‑bit bus with a measured bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. None of the measured frame rates show any VRAM‑related stalls or restrictions—the memory subsystem is far larger than what The Technomancer’s 2016 assets require. At 4K with High settings the game runs at 70 FPS with no indication of a memory bottleneck, so VRAM is not a concern in this title.

Q: What is the combination’s global ranking among all tested combos for this game?

A:** The Ryzen 7 5700X + RTX 4080 pair sits at rank 315 out of 3,696 tested configurations. That places it in the top portion of the distribution, with roughly 91% of the reported setups falling below its average frame rates.

Q: Why does the FPS scale so steeply between 1080p and 4K on similar presets?

A:** The data shows, for example, that High preset averages 195 FPS at 1080p, 128 FPS at 1440p, and 70 FPS at 4K. The rate of approx 33%–45% drop for each resolution step indicates that the workload is being shifted to the GPU as pixel count rises. The CPU’s 79th percentile standing is far from a limitation, while the GPU’s final 4K numbers (55-70) are dictated by its raw fills and shading capacity.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 brings to this title a 320 W TDP and two key performance factors: a base clock of 2205 MHz that boosts to 2505 MHz, and 16 GB of GDDR6X memory running at an effective 22.4 Gbps with a 256‑bit bus. Those memory characteristics yield a 716.8 GB/s bandwidth, and the SM configuration includes 9,728 shading units and 184 texture mapping units. While the game does not leverage only a fraction of these increased resources, the silicon provides enough compute to allow the CPU to stay largely idle at most resolutions.

The ROPs (112) and texture fill rate (761.5 GT/s) are more than sufficient for a 2016 RPG. The observed frame rates at 4K (70 High, 55 Ultra) are consistent with a GPU that is balancing the vertex load and post-processing of the engine. The low‑resolution frames (244 Low at 1080p) show that the 4080 ter fundamental net is almost never the prime mover; the integrated Graphics Unit is not present on this discrete Ada Lovelace die, so all the work goes to the dedicated GPUs.

The FP32 performance of 48.74 TFLOPS (Double‑pumped in a high-way) rarely enters the equation for a hit-oriented title, but it’s the silicon that allows the “High” preset to stay above 60 FPS at 4K. The fact that the same GPU can drop to 70 FPS at 4K High while still being over 200 FPS at 1080p shows distinct shift of the ROP and pixel clocks that scale exactly with surface area. The VRAM capacity does not add any advantage over 8‑GB parts at this title’s settings, but the wide bus helps with the UHD render targets.

The CPU role is secondary. The 5700X’s 8 cores (16 threads) at a base of 3.4 GHz and boost 4.6 GHz is enough to push 244 FPS at 1080p. The bottleneck at 1080p is not the CPU but the GPU’s own limit to process rasterization, as the CPU is not being asked to do more than one rotation per frame. The results show no frame‑time spikes in the Medium preset’s (min values) even at 188 FPS, suggesting a robust pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank is 315 out of 3,696 tested combinations, which gives an overall percentile of 91.4 (since 100 - (315/3696)*189 – actually we must not compute). But numeric cumulative distance: the data shows that more than 94% of the tested combos fall behind it. The CPU itself is in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. That means over three-quarters of the CPUs tested score lower, which strongly indicates the 5700X is a solid match for the GPU. The GPU, at the 86th percentile among GPUs, sits higher relative to its class. The gap between the CPU and GPU percentiles (79 vs. 86) suggests the system is slightly weighted toward the GPU, but not at all in a manner that creates a bottleneck—the FPS numbers demonstrate the 5700X can drive the 4080 to >200 FPS in the light loads at low resolution.

This rank is achieved mainly by the GPU’s clause—the game is raster-heavy. The rival combos that outrank this pair likely include the RTX 4080 SUPER which is 0.1% more power in synthetic tests, or the Radeon Pro W5700X (54828, delta -1.1%) that could edge above at some resolutions. But the margins are within ±3% of the top scores.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data allows for a clear view of pixel-count scaling. Let’s examine the High preset across all three resolutions: 1080p averages 195 FPS, 1440p averages 128 FPS, and 4K averages 70 FPS. That is a drop of 67 FPS from 1080 to 1440 (which 128 minus 195 = 67), and an additional 58 FPS when moving to 4K (from 128 to 70). The scaling factor is not linear; the pixel count goes in arithmetic (2.25x for 4K vs 1080p) while the frame rate halves, showing the fixed cost of the scene segmentation. At Medium, the FPS goes from 222 (1080p) to 149 (1440p) to 82 (4K) — again a near‑halving at each step. At Low, it is 244, 195, and 107. The consistent pattern indicates that the GPU’s shading and frame memory load scale almost exactly with pixel count; no single component is able to keep up as the fragment load enlarges.

This scaling behaviour points to the GPU as the predominant limiting factor at 4K. The CPU’s performance is unchanged across resolutions—the 5700X’s 16 threads are never the limiter, as was evidenced by the 1080p result of 244 FPS. Therefore, if a user wants to maximize FPS at 4K, the recommendation to go to High (70) rather than Ultra (55) aligns with the GPU resource expenditure that costs 25% of the throughput.

The median preset (ultra) yields the highest framerates at 1080p (152), while the Low settings offer the absolute maximum FPS (244). The min‑max for the Medium preset at 1080p (188 to 255 FPS) shows a broad but stable range—the engine’s frame time variance from scene to scene can fluctuate, but the average remains high. At 4K, the Medium preset’s min (70) and max (94) bracket the average 82 FPS, illustrating that the GPU is capableof holding a 70‑FPS floor even in demanding scenes. The Ultra preset at 4K, on the other hand, gives an average of exactly 55 FPS, matching the typical trade‑off for quality improvements that push the rater outside the 60‑FPS comfort zone.
