The Technomancer

This page reports the measured performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT CPU paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT GPU in the Action RPG The Technomancer. The dataset includes average frame rates at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. The combination ranks 1158 out of 3696 tested combos in this game, and both components have their own benchmark scores and nearest‑rival points.

Resolution Scaling

At the lowest preset, the 5800XT + RX 6800 XT delivers 216 FPS at 1920x1080, 141 FPS at 2560x1440, and 78 FPS at 3840x2160. The frame rate is cut by roughly three‑fold when moving from Full HD to 4K, but the absolute difference is larger at lower settings. For instance, the Medium preset produces 166 FPS at 1080p, drops to 109 FPS at 1440p, and ends at 60 FPS on 4K. The High preset follows the same scaling: 142 FPS, 93 FPS, and 51 FPS. Ultra performs at 111 FPS, 72 FPS, and 40 FPS across these three resolutions.

The pattern is clear regardless of the visual quality level: every increase in resolution subtracted a large portion of the frame rate. For example, the 4K average is always less than half of the 1080p average, as seen with 78 vs 216 on Low, 60 vs 166 on Medium, 51 vs 142 on High, and 40 vs 111 on Ultra. The consistency of this drop suggests the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution climbs – the stronger CPU cannot offset the growing pixel workload. The frame data also shows the absolute range between min and max is reported only for the Medium setting; at 1920x1080 Medium spans 141 to 191 FPS, at 1440p it ranges from 92 to 125 FPS, and at 4K from 51 to 69 FPS. This indicates the GPU is capable of handling the frame pacing at all tested resolutions, but the overall performance ceiling drops sharply with additional pixel count.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting a 60 FPS experience at 3840x2160, the data shows that only the Medium preset reaches an average of exactly 60 FPS, while High (51 FPS) and Ultra (40 FPS) fall short. At 2560x1440, any preset except Ultra is playable above 60: Low runs 141 FPS, Medium 109 FPS, and High 93 FPS. Even Ultra sits at 72 FPS, comfortably above a 60 Hz ceiling. At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 100 FPS – Low 216, Medium 166, High 142, Ultra 111 – making any setting suitable on a high‑refresh monitor.

Given the measured averages, the strongest recommendation is to select Medium at 4K to maintain 60 FPS, while at 1440p the High preset at 93 FPS provides a smooth experience, although Ultra also stands at a healthy 72 FPS. At 1080p there is no need to compromise, but choosing Ultra reduces the headroom to 111 FPS, still well above the typical 60‑144 refresh targets. The absence of min and max values for Low, High, and Ultra presets means we cannot evaluate frame pacing for those settings, but the Medium rows show the smallest variance in frame delivery.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is an 8‑core, 16‑thread Zen 3 processor with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost up to 4.80 GHz, built on a 7 nm process. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. In the benchmark suite, the CPU scores 3359 in Cinebench R23 single‑core and 23794 in multi‑core, highlighting a strong balance between single‑thread and multi‑threaded workloads – a characteristic that benefits engine physics and AI calculations in The Technomancer. The 3DMark thread tests further underscore its scaling: 959 single‑thread, 1879 dual‑thread, 3603 quad‑thread, 6141 eight‑thread, and 7680 max‑thread. These numbers indicate the CPU is not a bottleneck at the tested GPU‑heavy resolutions, as the deduction of FPS is driven by resolution, not by CPU capacity.

The processor sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 1% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H matches it with a 0.0% delta, the Ryzen 7 8845HS and 7 7840HS are 0.3% slower, and the Ryzen 5 9600X is 0.6% ahead. This shows the 5800XT remains competitive with newer mobile and desktop parts. With a 512.0 GB/s memory bandwidth (DDR4 dual‑channel) and PCIe Gen 4, the chip offers a solid foundation for a high‑refresh setup.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + RX 6800 XT combination ranks 1158 out of 3696 tested combos in The Technoancer. This places it in the upper portion of the test pool, roughly at the 68th percentile. The rank is solely based on the measured FPS in this specific game, so it reflects the actual frame rate and the GPU‑intensive nature of the title. With a GPU that reaches 4K Medium at 60 FPS and 1080p Ultra over 111 FPS, the combo stands above average in this benchmark database. However, its rank is not near the top; many higher‑performance GPUs (more recent architectures) will exceed it, especially at lower resolutions where CPU become more impactful. Overall, this result positions the pairing as a capable high‑frame‑rate system for The Techn but not a class‑leading one.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a RDNA 2 graphics card built on TSMC 7 nm with a 2,560‑bit memory interface, 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 512 GB/s bandwidth. Its base clock is 1825 MHz, boost 2250 MHz, and the game clock is 2010 MHz. The memory runs at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The GPU contains 4608 shading units, 288 TMUs, 72 RT cores, and 128 ROPs, giving a raw FP32 performance of 20.74 TFLOPS. In benchmark tests, the card scores 3689 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 24944 in PassMark G3D, and 13245 in PassMark GPU compute. It handles the 16 GB VRAM capacity, which is abundant for The Technomancer; at Ultra settings even the 4K memory footprint is unlikely to exceed that amount at 4K resolutions.

The GPU is in the 85th percentile among all graphics cards, with a tiny gap to its nearest rivals. Compared to the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile, it is 1.5% faster; the Intel Arc A550M is 2.5% slower; the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is 3% slower, and the RX Vega 64 is 3% slower. This suggests the RX 6800 XT delivers a stable level of performance near the top of its generation.

The VRAM and memory bandwidth are key in The Technomancer as the market for higher resolutions and ultra quality utilises more texture memory. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is still able to sustain 40 FPS average, indicating that the 16 GB memory footprint is not a limiting factor; the falloff is from compute load, not capacity. When combined with the 5800XT, the CPU is clearly not the cause of frame drop at these resolutions, as the FPS scales almost exclusively with resolution and preset.
