The Technomancer

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti lands at rank 425 out of 1656 tested combos in The Technomancer. That places it comfortably in the top quarter of all tested configurations, a strong result for a game that leans on both CPU and GPU depending on the settings and resolution. The rank reflects a balanced system rather than an outlier in either direction; the CPU sits at the 86th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU holds the 83rd percentile among all tested graphics cards. Neither component drastically overperforms the other, which means the combo behaves predictably across the board. In practical terms, this is a setup that will not leave a builder feeling shortchanged in this title, and the data suggests it handles the game's demands with headroom to spare at most settings.

GPU Role

The RTX 3080 Ti is the primary driver of visual fidelity here, and its memory configuration is a key part of that story. With 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, the card delivers 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for a 2016 Action RPG running at modern resolutions. The GPU's boost clock of 1665 MHz, paired with 10240 shading units, gives it the raw throughput to push high frame rates even when the game's settings start to strain the engine. In The Technomancer, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the card is barely challenged, but by 4K, the data shows the frame rate dropping in a way that points directly at the graphics card as the limiting factor. The 3080 Ti's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the RTX 3090, which scores 0.5% higher on average, and the RTX 5070, which sits 1.1% higher; the 3080 Ti trails the Radeon Pro 5300 by 0.9% but beats the Tesla M40 by 1.6%. These are narrow margins, meaning the card is performing exactly where its specifications suggest it should.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern that defines the system's behavior. At 1080p with High settings, the combo averages 152.1 FPS; at 1440p that drops to 101.6 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 51.6 FPS. That is a 33% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and another 49% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The pattern is consistent across all settings presets, but the severity of the drop at 4K is telling. When the resolution increases, the GPU must work harder to fill more pixels, and the data shows the frame rate halving from the lowest to the highest resolution at every settings level. At Ultra settings, the 4K result of 42.8 FPS is less than a third of the 1080p Ultra result of 119.5 FPS. This indicates that the RTX 3080 Ti is the bottleneck at 4K, while the Ryzen 7 5800XT has enough headroom to keep up at lower resolutions. The CPU's 16 threads and 4.80 GHz boost clock ensure that it is not the constraint until the GPU is fully saturated, which happens somewhere between 1440p and 4K depending on the preset.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show a clear trade-off between visual quality and frame rate, and the sweet spot is Medium at 1440p. At that setting, the combo delivers 119.3 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and the visual upgrade over Low is noticeable in a game with this art style. High settings at 1440p still produce 101.6 FPS, so that is also viable for players who prioritize image quality over a small frame rate cushion. At 1080p, Medium pushes to 179.3 FPS and High reaches 152.1 FPS, making either a strong choice for high refresh rate displays. The Ultra preset is the outlier: at 4K it drops to 42.8 FPS, which is below the comfort zone for most players, and even at 1440p it only manages 79.3 FPS. For a game like The Technomancer, where combat responsiveness matters, the data suggests sticking with High or Medium rather than chasing Ultra. The Low preset at 1080p hits 229.4 FPS, but the visual cost is steep and unnecessary given the headroom at Medium.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full dataset provides a complete picture of what this combo can do. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are uniformly high: Low averages 229.4 FPS, Medium averages 179.3 FPS, High averages 152.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 119.5 FPS. Every preset at 1080p clears 100 FPS, which means the system is never CPU-bound at this resolution in a way that hurts playability. Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers drop but remain strong: Low hits 153.8 FPS, Medium hits 119.3 FPS, High hits 101.6 FPS, and Ultra hits 79.3 FPS. The step from High to Ultra at 1440p costs 22.3 FPS, a significant penalty for marginal visual gains. At 3840x2160, the GPU starts to show its limits: Low averages 81.8 FPS, Medium averages 63.7 FPS, High averages 51.6 FPS, and Ultra averages 42.8 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that falls below 45 FPS, and it is the only one that risks feeling sluggish in fast-paced encounters. The data shows a consistent pattern: the combo is capable of high refresh rate gameplay at 1080p, solid 60+ FPS at 1440p on most presets, and playable but not ideal frame rates at 4K.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5800XT is a Zen 3 part with 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosting to 4.80 GHz. It has 32 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, which is more than enough for a game released in 2016. In The Technomancer, the CPU's job is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic, and the data shows it does so without becoming a bottleneck until the GPU is fully loaded. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 229.4 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the CPU can handle the game's single-threaded and multi-threaded demands at high frame rates. The CPU's benchmark scores back this up: it scores 3359 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 23794 in multi-core, placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Ryzen 7 6800HS, which scores 0.3% lower on average, and the Ryzen 7 7840H, which scores 0.3% higher; the Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is 0.1% behind, and the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is 0.3% ahead. These are negligible differences, confirming that the 5800XT is a solid, mid-tier performer that will not hold back the RTX 3080 Ti in this title. The CPU's 16 threads also help in scenes with many NPCs or physics calculations, though the game's age means it rarely stresses all of them at once.
