The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a robust experience in The Technomancer, but the data reveals a clear performance hierarchy driven by resolution. At 1920x1080, the combination is overwhelmingly powerful, while at 3840x2160, it becomes playable but demanding. The measured frames per second (FPS) across all presets indicate that this combo is best suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring settings compromises to maintain smooth gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all quality presets, indicating that the graphics card becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 255.6 at 1920x1080 to 97.6 at 3840x2160, a reduction of 158.0 FPS (61.8%). This scaling pattern shows that the GPU is heavily taxed by the pixel count, as the CPU has ample headroom at lower resolutions.

Moving to Medium settings, the 1080p average of 212.5 FPS drops to 140.0 at 2560x1440 and then to 76.5 at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K is 63.5 FPS, which is a 45.4% reduction. High settings follow a similar trend: 179.9 FPS at 1080p, 117.2 at 1440p, and 63.2 at 4K. The most demanding preset, Ultra, shows 140.2 FPS at 1080p, falling to 93.8 at 1440p and 48.6 at 4K.

The data indicates that the transition from 1440p to 4K costs more than half the frame rate at every setting level. For instance, at High settings, the 4K result is 54.0% of the 1440p result. This suggests that while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has enough raw power for 1440p, the 4K resolution pushes the GPU to its limits, particularly with Ultra settings where the average dips below 50 FPS. The scaling is largely linear, with no anomalies that would suggest a CPU limitation at higher resolutions, reinforcing that the GPU is the limiting factor in 4K scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 201st out of 1656 combos for The Technomancer. This places it in the top 12.1% of all tested systems, which is a strong showing for a mid-to-high-end desktop configuration. The percentile ranking reflects that the majority of tested combos deliver lower average FPS in this game.

The rank is influenced by both components. The CPU's performance percentile of 86 indicates it outperforms 86% of all tested processors, while the GPU's percentile of 86 shows a similar standing among graphics cards. However, the combo rank of 201 suggests that the game's engine responds well to the combination of this specific CPU and GPU, benefiting from the 8-core, 16-thread processor and the high-bandwidth graphics card.

The ranking also implies that there are 200 other combos that achieve higher average FPS in this title. These likely include more recent high-end GPUs or CPUs with higher single-thread performance, but the data shows that this combo still delivers a very playable experience. The deltaPct against nearest CPU rivals is minimal, with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE being just 0.1% behind, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H being 0.3% faster. This indicates that the CPU choice has a negligible impact on the overall ranking relative to its direct competitors.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for The Technomancer. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for the game's textures at all tested resolutions. The Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process, offers high clock speeds with a base of 2340 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz. These clocks are crucial for maintaining high FPS, as the game appears to be GPU-bound at 4K.

The GPU's benchmark scores reflect its capability. A Passmark G3D score of 31811 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 223091 indicate strong compute performance, which translates to consistent frame rendering in an Action RPG like The Technomancer. The 8448 shading units and 264 tensor cores provide the raw throughput needed for modern effects. The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms that it is a high-end part, and its performance in this game aligns with that standing.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU's headroom is exhausted at 4K Ultra, where the average drops to 48.6 FPS. This is below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider smooth. At 4K High, the GPU manages 63.2 FPS, which is playable but leaves little room for demanding scenes. The transition from Medium to High at 4K costs 13.3 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 14.6 FPS, showing that the most demanding preset has a significant performance penalty. This suggests that the GPU's 16 GB VRAM is sufficient, but its raw compute power is the limiting factor at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal experience depends on the target resolution. For 1920x1080, all settings are viable, with even Ultra averaging 140.2 FPS. However, the difference between High and Ultra is 39.7 FPS, making High the recommended choice for players who want maximum frame rates without a noticeable visual compromise. At 1080p, Low settings deliver 255.6 FPS, which is excessive for most displays, so Medium at 212.5 FPS is a better balance.

For 2560x1440, High settings provide 117.2 FPS, which is ideal for a 120 Hz or 144 Hz monitor. Medium offers 140.0 FPS, but the visual fidelity loss may not be worth the extra 22.8 FPS. Ultra at 93.8 FPS is still playable, but the 23.4 FPS drop from High is steep for the added effects. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot at 1440p, providing a high frame rate while maintaining good image quality.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation is more conservative. High settings yield 63.2 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS target, making it the best option for a smooth 4K experience. Medium at 76.5 FPS is also viable and offers a more comfortable margin, but the visual difference between Medium and High is noticeable in a game like this. Ultra at 48.6 FPS is not recommended, as it falls below the playable threshold. Low at 97.6 FPS is possible but sacrifices too much visual quality. Therefore, for 4K, High is the recommended preset, with Medium as a fallback for more demanding scenes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers outstanding frame rates: Low averages 255.6 FPS, Medium 212.5 FPS, High 179.9 FPS, and Ultra 140.2 FPS. These numbers indicate that the CPU and GPU are not heavily stressed at this resolution, with the GPU having significant headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop substantially: Low 177.8 FPS, Medium 140.0 FPS, High 117.2 FPS, and Ultra 93.8 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is consistent, with a 30.4% decrease at Low, 34.1% at Medium, 34.8% at High, and 33.1% at Ultra. This uniform scaling suggests that the GPU is handling the increased pixel load proportionally.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are as follows: Low 97.6 FPS, Medium 76.5 FPS, High 63.2 FPS, and Ultra 48.6 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is more pronounced, with reductions of 45.1% at Low, 45.4% at Medium, 46.1% at High, and 48.2% at Ultra. This indicates that the GPU is nearing its limits, especially at Ultra, where the average dips below 50 FPS. The min and max FPS are not provided, but the averages alone show that the combo is capable of smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K requiring careful settings management.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT plays a supporting role in The Technomancer, as the game is primarily GPU-bound at higher resolutions. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 3 Vermeer architecture, provide ample processing power for the game's logic and AI. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.80 GHz ensure that single-threaded tasks are handled efficiently, which is important for game engines that rely on a few primary threads.

Benchmark data shows strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23794 and a single-core score of 3359. The Passmark multithread score of 27988 and single-thread score of 3538 further confirm its capabilities. The CPU's 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it is a high-performance part, and its nearest rivals show minimal performance differences. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is only 0.1% slower, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H is 0.3% faster, meaning that the 5800XT is well within the expected range.

In this game, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain high frame rates. At 1080p, where the GPU has headroom, the CPU's performance is sufficient to reach 255.6 FPS at Low settings. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, so the CPU's impact on average FPS diminishes. The data shows no signs of CPU limitation, as the frame rate scaling with resolution is consistent with GPU-bound behavior. The CPU's 32 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for the game's data streaming requirements. Overall, the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a capable partner for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, ensuring that the GPU is the primary determinant of performance in The Technomancer.
