The Technomancer

The Technomancer, an action RPG released June 27, 2016, is tested with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B580. The measured data covers twelve resolution-and-preset combinations, mixing four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) and three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160). This analysis interprets the benchmark rows, the CPU and GPU roles, the pair's in-game rank, and practical settings recommendations, relying strictly on the provided measurements.

Resolution Scaling

The first clear pattern is a consistent frame rate decrease as resolution increases. For the High preset, the average falls from 90 FPS at 1080p to 59 at 1440p, then to 32 at 2160p. The Low preset leaves 138 at 1080p, 90 at 1440p, and 49 at 4K. The Medium preset squeezes 106 average frames at 1080p, 69 at 1440p, and 38 at 2160p. Ultra exhibits the same trend with 70 at 1080p, 46 at 1440p, and 25 at 2160p.

Most presets drop sharply from 1440p to 2160p. The High setting, for example, goes from 59 all the way down to 32 — a loss of more than a quarter of its 1440p frames. The Medium settings include the only min–max records in the dataset: at 1080p the medium average is 106 with a range of 90 to 121; at 1440p it averages 69 with a range of 59 to 79; at 4K it averages 38 with a range of 32 to 44. Even the most favorable minimum frame at 4K Medium (32) is below the 60 FPS target, showing the GPU is stretched hard at 4K.

The scaling behavior points to a GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p Low, the system squeezes out 138 FPS, far above the 60 FPS carpet. By 4K Low, the average drops all the way to 49. This drop pattern across overlapping resolutions — especially the sharp cliff between 1440p and 2160p — suggests the graphics processor is the component that scales linearly with pixel count, while the CPU is likely leftover involved. At lower resolution, where the GPU load is lighter, the numbers are high enough that other hardware (like the 8-core CPU) can comfortable feed the frames. The scaling behavior remains proportional across all presets, so the trend is consistent and not a one-off notch.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 sits in the high-middle tier of the tested database. Its raw specifications include a 2670 MHz base and boost clock, 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 192-bit bus, and a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. The pixel rate is 213.6 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 427.2 GTexel/s. The GPU’s own 3D benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), returns a score of 3068. Its overall GPU average across tests is 23021, with a percentile rating of 68 among all GPUs included in the databaset. The closest rivals in the nearestRivals table are the Radeon RX 580 2048SP (deltaPct -0.2), the GeForce RTX 2080 (deltaPct 0.6), the GeForce RTX 3080 (deltaPct -0.7), and the P106-100 (deltaPct -1). Thus the B580 performs essentially on par with the RTX 2080 and RTX 3080 range, assuming the same workload.

This is an important hint when interpreting the The Technomancer numbers. The Arc B580 has enough memory capacity for a typical 2016 title, and it yields 49 FPS at 4K Low and 25 at 4K Ultra, a range that is consistent with the mid-high performance tier. VRAM size (12 GB) is not a floor factor for this older game, as the frame rate falls far below any 60 FPS thresh old at higher resolutions, suggesting more horsepower—or more effective compute—is needed. The battle of the GPU is further highlighted by that its typical 60 FPS point in this game resides between the 1440p Medium (69) and 1440p High (59) rows. The GPU launch MSRP is 249 USD.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 part on the AM4 socket, counting 64 KB L1, 512 KB L2 per core, and a 32 MB L3 cache. It runs at 3.80 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost, with a TDP of 105W. Its 7 nm process and 4,150 million transistors place it in the mid-2024 segment. In CPU benchmarks, the 5800XT has a Cinebench R23 multip performance, a score of 23794, and single-core 3359. Its 3DMark16-thread score is 7683, and the 2-thread score is 1879. The CPU’s averaged overall benchmark score is 29879, which sits at the 81st percentile of all CPUs — that is higher than the GPU’s percentile. The nearest rival in average score is the Ryzen 7 7840H (deltaPct 0), followed by the 8845HS and 7840HS (both -0.3) and the 9600X (0.6). This shows the CPU is a strong performer, unlikely to bottleneck the game when the resolution is limited.

Indeed, the data suggests the GPU is the primary junction. At 1440p Medium, the combo yields 69 FPS, while at 1080p Ultra it holds 70. Both are within a narrowly headroom, where the CPU remains far below its ceiling. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU load is lowest, the average reaches 138 FPS. The high base frequency and 4.80 boost allow the frame generation to scale with the approach of the FPS ceilings, but the actual bottleneck is presented by the Arc B580. That is a typical characteristic in an older generation games like The Technomancer, which appears to put moderate pressure on the CPU and heavy pressure on the GPU’s pixel throughput. The launch MSRP of the processor is $249.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the full ranking board for The Technomancer, this specific pairing (Ryzen 7 5800XT + Arc B580) holds a rank of 2787 out of 3696 tested combos. This is a relatively low percentile, meaning that nearly three quarters of all other configurations outperform it in this title. The individual components are strong — the CPU is above the 85th percentile and the card in the 68th—but the combination underimpresses when compared to the complete set. The low rank is probably due to the GPU being off the optimization curve for how this game scales. A higher midrange card or a stronger CPU sustains more frames at the same settings; still, this configuration can handle a mix of Medium and High at 1440p.

The ranking is a hint that users or enthusiasts should look at the fine-grained resolution table rather than the combined percentile. At 1080p, the combo sits well-equipped; at 1440p it hits the 59–90 zone, while at 4K it drops into 1100s. So the rank reflects the 4K drag and the terrible performance at Ultra 4K (25 FPS). The measured FPS, especially in 4K, are not strong enough to justify the combination’s relative position.

Settings Recommendations

Given the frame rules from the measured rows, each resolution shows a recommended range. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset hits 70 FPS average, so players can choose Ultra for a very smooth 70 FPS. For those who prefer a surging advantage, the Medium holds 106 FPS average, and Low extends to 138. At 1440p, the best fit for 60 FPS is the Medium preset (average of 69). The High preset sits marginally under the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 59, so it is still playable if one is tolerance to a ~59 average. The Low preset at 70 FPS is recommended if the user intends to go lower infinitely. For 4K, the available choices are far tighter: Low provides the only solid playable number at 49 FPS, Medium gives 38, High gives 32, and Ultra just 25. At 4K, it is instead to drop to Medium if the visual quality is preferred but the frame is not silk-smooth, or to keep Low for a playable but not 60 FPS experience. Given the data, the boldest start point is 1080p High or 1440p Medium.

The Medium rows offer the only scope of frame min/max actually collected. At 1080p Medium, the min 90 and max 121 demonstrates that the steadiness is okay. At 1440p Medium, min is 59, max 79. At 4K Medium, min to max goes from 32 up to 44, which calls for mild environments. The Hard/Ultra rows show no min or max statistics, yet their averages still give a clean take of the lowering head.
