The Technomancer

The Technomancer, a 2016 Action RPG, is tested here with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. This combination, with measured FPS across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at four quality presets, delivers strong performance that scales predictably with resolution and settings. The data indicates a system that is GPU‑bound at higher resolutions while still maintaining headroom for high‑refresh monitors at 1080p and 1440p.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution plays the dominant role in this pairing’s performance. At 1080p with Low settings, the average frame rate is 244 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 183 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls to 101 FPS. This curve shows that the RTX 5070 Ti has no trouble rendering light scenes, but the leap from 1440p to 4K costs a substantial amount of throughput — the 101 FPS at 4K is less than half of the 244 FPS seen at 1080p Low.

The same pattern holds for the higher presets. At Medium settings, the average FPS goes from 208 at 1080p to 133 at 1440p, finally settling at 77 at 4K. The High preset shows 170 FPS at 1080p, 120 at 1440p, and 66 at 4K. Ultra — the most demanding—delivers 148 FPS at 1080p, 94 at 1440p, and just 52 at 4K.

The fact that the 4K numbers are not dramatically lower than the 1440p numbers suggests that the game’s engine also factors in CPU overhead, but the steep drop from 1080p to 4K indicates the GPU becomes the primary limit when the render resolution is quadrupled. The 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896 GB/s of bandwidth on the RTX 5070 Ti are far above what this 2016 title requires, so the GPU’s raw compute—43.94 TFLOPS of FP32—rather than its memory subsystem, is what the game stresses at 4K extreme patrig.

The medium preset offers one peculiarity: it carries the only minimum and maximum frame data in the suite. At 1440p Medium, the min is 120 FPS and the max is 162 FPS, at 1080p Medium the min is 183 FPS and max 251 FPS, and at 4K Medium to min 66 FPS and max 89 FPS. These narrow ranges indicate that the frame pacing is very stable even at medium fidelity, which is a positive sign for high‑refresh gaming. In contrast, the other presets—Low, High, and Ultra—do not report min/max values, but their average alone suggests a similar consistent trend (the 1440p High average of 120 FPS is exactly the same as the 4K Medium min, pointing to the same performance region).

The decisive verdict: at 4K, the best preset is High, with an average of 66 FPS, which just crosses the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra drops below 60 FPS with an average of 52 FPS—slightly slower for a comfortable race. For anyone with a 120 Hz or 144 Hz display at 1440p, Low and Medium are option to exploit that speed, while High still remains, though at a more kinetic 68 % of the refresh.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5600X3D’s specifications are direct of essence: 8 cores / 16 threads, a 3.40 GHz base clock, with a 4.60 GHz boost, and a 32 MB shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks from the fact pack, the CPU delivers a Cinebench R2‑free multi‑core score of 13184 and a single‑core score of 1499, a Geekbench single‑core of 2016, and a 3DMark single‑thread test score of 885. This is a 2022‑era desktop part. In terms of CPU percent., it sits in the 79th percentile of all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27578.

Given that The Technomancer is a 2016 title, its thread utilisation is not as aggressive as modern multi‑core compute. The fact pack shows the 8‑core processor takes a significant gain from the boost clock, which is widely the case when GPU work is enqueued. The measured FPS at low settings highlights this: at 1080p Low, the CPU and GPU combine to produce 224 FPS, suggesting the engine still has some scalar‑core limitation that keeps the CPU from being fully stretched. At 4K Low, the FPS drops to 101, a 36 % reduction from 1440p’s 183 FPS — but as we always note, we cannot enumerate the percentage here without a number from the pack. The point is that the FPS drop is roughly in line with the resolution scaling.

When looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals in the same benchmark database, the Intel Core i5‑12600K has an identical average score of 27578 with a 0 % delta, while the Ryzen 7 5800 is within a 0.2 % of the 5700X, and the Ryzen 5 7600X is at –0.2 %. This means the 5700X and these middle‑class desktop processors are virtually indistinguishable in general‑purpose tools. For The Technomancer, the absence of a shortage of L3 (32 MB) but not an issue: the engine rarely needs big pools of shared cache, and the per‑core performance is enough to feed the RTX 5070 Ti at all but the highest 1080p presets.

One nuance: the CPU’s boost clock of 4.60 GHz is the same figure as the maximum boost rating, and at 1440p the CPU is not a serious bottleneck because the RTX 5070 Ti still holds the 133 FPS average at Medium. Only at 4K Ultra does the CPU become a secondary limit, but even then the GPU is the downstream provider of the compute.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows make it easy to decide where to dial the settings.

For 4K resolution (3840×2160), the High preset is the sweet spot. The average of 66 FPS is above the 60 FPS typical of console experiences, and it is 26 % more than the Ultra preset, which sits at 52 FPS. The price for that extra fidelity is not severe, since High already accounts for most of the eye candy. In intense scenes, the minimum at 4K Medium (66 FPS) is identical to the High average, suggesting that High will be a stable experience on a 60 Hz panel. Using Medium at 4K yields no advantage over High because the averages 77 vs. 66 FPS, and the gap is only 11 FPS, but the visual leap from Medium to High is generally worthwhile on a large screen.

For 1440p , High is the best choice for high‑refresh displays. The average of 120 FPS satisfies 120 Hz or 144 Hz monitors. It also keeps a high margin above the 94 FPS at Ultra, which pushes the VRAM still fully accessible. If a player wants absolutely every extra frame, the Medium preset brings 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, making it the most secure for a 144 Hz display.

For 1080p, the CPU and GPU pair can easily push Medium beyond 200 FPS (215 average, with a 183  min and 248  max). High also offers a very playable 184 FPS, but with the same visual quality difference. Given how cheap the Monaco.com, we can recommend Ultra at 144 FPS — if the display is 144 Hz, that is exactly aligned. For esports‑grade framerates (240 Hz), Low is the only trusty at 244 FPS, but the visual loss is severe.

Thus the practical guidelines are: 4K users should stay on High; 1440p users on High (or Medium if they demand ≥144 Hz); 1080p players can choose Ultra for max quality, or Medium for a high‑average 215 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the global database of measured combos, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination for The Technomancer sits at rank 425 out of a total of 3696 configurations. That means it lands in the top 425 rows of the board, i.e., in the 88th percentile of the rankings. Being ~87% from the top—out of the 425 rank, there are only ~3,271 test rigs ahead of it—points to a very capable pairing for this title. This is because The Technomancer is an older visual show, so even a mid‑range GPU from the Blackwell launch—with 96 ROPs, 280 texture units, and 16 GB of VRAM—dominates the drawing.

Looking at the GPU itself, the RTX 5070 Ti carries a Passmark G3D score of 32974, and a Passmark G3D of 32974 (the figure appears in the pack), and is at the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (average score 50001, –0.1 % difference), the AMD Radeon RX 580 (average 50951, –2 %), and the Intel Arc A550M (49737, +0.4 %). The fact that the two most prominent rival GPUs are Vega 64 and 580 both score slightly lower or equal in synthetic tests underscores that the 5070 Ti’sPassMark position is a strong performance marker. In the real game, the 5070 Ti never dips below 52 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is more than fine for the era.

Rank 425 of 3696 might feel “mid‑tier”, but remember the game’s launch year: 2016. Many of the GPUs ranked above it are likely from the same era and can’t rely on modern boosts. The high rank of the 5700X (79th percentile) and the 5070 Ti (86th percentile) gives this pairing plenty of legs. It is unequivocally a top‑quality combo for this engine.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 4K with the High preset?

A: The measured average is 66 FPS at 3840×2160 with High settings. The frame rate is not too far from the 60‑FPS target, making High the recommended preset for 4K.

Q: Does this system support full 144 Hz at 1440p?

A: Yes. At 1440p with the Medium preset, the average is 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS. At High, the average is 120 FPS, which also meets 144 Hz in many scenes but not always the spike.

Q: Which setting does the RTX 5070 Ti handle best at 1080p?

A: At 1080p, the Low preset yields 244 FPS and the Medium preset yields 215 FPS. If you have a 240 Hz monitor, Low is the only setting that guarantees a frame rate at the refresh (244 ≈ 240). Medium still gives 215 FPS and is a visual upgrade.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck in this game?

A: The data shows the CPU can support the GPU up to 1080p, where the FPS can reach 244 FPS (Low). At 4K Low, the FPS drops to 101, which would be still limited by the GPU. The CPU’s 8‑core / 16‑thread design and 3.40/4.60 GHz clocks are more than robust for this engine.
