The Technomancer

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a solid, predictable experience in The Technomancer, with performance scaling that clearly favors high-refresh 1080p and smooth 1440p play, while 4K remains a stretch for maxed-out settings. This pairing ranks in the top half of all tested combos, and the data shows a system whose 1080p output is strong enough to suggest the GPU becomes the primary limiter as resolution climbs.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, running on the AMD Socket AM5 platform. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz, boosting up to 5.30 GHz, and it carries a 65 W TDP. This is a modern desktop part built on a 5 nm process, and its benchmark profile indicates it is unlikely to bottleneck the GPU in this title. The processor scores 29302 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 4136 in single-core, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, which is virtually identical at a 0.1% delta, and the Intel Core i9-13905H, which trails by 0.6%. The Ryzen 7 7700’s single-thread performance is particularly relevant for an Action RPG like The Technomancer, where game logic and physics often rely on fewer threads. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 181.5 FPS, which is a figure that strongly implies the CPU is feeding the GPU more than enough data. The processor’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and support for DDR5 memory with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth also contribute to keeping frame times consistent, even if those specific elements are not directly measured in the game’s FPS results. Given that the CPU’s benchmark scores are competitive with mobile and desktop parts that are only a fraction of a percent apart, the 7700 provides a stable foundation; the measured FPS variance across settings at 1080p (from 92.5 to 181.5) is more attributable to GPU load than to CPU limitations.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture GPU based on the Navi 22 chip, built on a 7 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 2150 MHz, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz and a game clock of 2495 MHz. It has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, producing a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s. The GPU’s FP32 performance is 13.31 TFLOPS, and it sits in the 79th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 35327 is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (0.2% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (-0.3% delta), though it trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 by 1.3%. In The Technomancer, the GPU’s role is decisive. At 4K Ultra, the combo only manages 35.7 FPS, which indicates the RX 6750 XT is heavily taxed. The 12 GB VRAM buffer is not the limiting factor at this resolution given the game’s 2016 release date, but the raw compute throughput is. The GPU’s 250 W TDP and suggested 600 W PSU are relevant for system planning, but the measured FPS shows a clear pattern: the card is capable of high refresh rates at lower resolutions but struggles to maintain playable framerates at 4K with maxed settings. The boost clock of 2600 MHz is what allows the card to hit 181.5 FPS at 1080p Low, but that headroom evaporates quickly as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the Ryzen 7 7700 and RX 6750 XT ranks 812th out of 1656 tested combos in The Technomancer. That places it in the 49th percentile of all combinations, which is a solidly mid-pack result. The data indicates that while this pairing is not at the top of the charts, it is far from the bottom, and its performance is consistent with what one would expect from a mid-range CPU paired with a mid-range GPU. The ranking reflects the balance between the two components; the CPU’s high percentile (91st) is tempered by the GPU’s lower percentile (79th), resulting in a system that is GPU-bound in most scenarios. Compared to other combos, this ranking suggests that users will not see the absolute highest framerates in the database, but they will also not experience the severe bottlenecks that plague mismatched systems. The delta between this combo and the top performers is likely significant, but the measured FPS at 1440p High (78.5) and 1080p Ultra (92.5) shows that the system is well-suited for the majority of gaming scenarios. The rank of 812 out of 1656 is a practical indicator: this is a workhorse combination that delivers dependable performance without excelling in any single metric.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the system is clearly at its best. Low settings yield 181.5 FPS, Medium drops to 137.9 FPS, High is 114.3 FPS, and Ultra remains playable at 92.5 FPS. These numbers show a smooth scaling curve, with a 49% difference between Low and Ultra, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom to handle even the most demanding settings at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops are noticeable but not drastic. Low settings still deliver 116.1 FPS, Medium is 93 FPS, High is 78.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 58.7 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 36% on Low and 37% on Ultra, which is a typical penalty for a 77% increase in pixel count. At 3840x2160, the system struggles. Low settings produce 62.8 FPS, Medium drops to 49.8 FPS, High is 40.7 FPS, and Ultra falls below playable thresholds at 35.7 FPS. The data shows that 4K is only viable at Low settings, and even then, it is not ideal for high-refresh displays. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low is a 65% reduction, while the same comparison at Ultra is a 61% reduction, which suggests the GPU is becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear GPU-bound scenario. At Low settings, the system goes from 181.5 FPS at 1080p to 62.8 FPS at 4K, a 65.4% decrease. At Ultra settings, it goes from 92.5 FPS to 35.7 FPS, a 61.4% decrease. These proportional drops are consistent with a GPU that is being saturated by the increased pixel load. The CPU, with its high single-thread scores, does not show signs of bottlenecking at lower resolutions; the fact that 1080p Low achieves nearly 182 FPS proves the processor can push frames well beyond the GPU’s comfort zone at higher settings. However, as resolution increases, the GPU’s raw compute and memory bandwidth become the deciding factor. The RX 6750 XT’s 432.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the 192-bit bus and 12 GB VRAM are pressed harder. The data suggests that the limiting component is unequivocally the GPU. If the CPU were the constraint, the FPS would not drop so consistently with resolution; instead, we would see a plateau at higher settings. The 36% drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is a textbook example of GPU scaling, and the further 46% drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings reinforces this. For users targeting 4K, this combo requires significant settings reductions to remain playable, while 1440p offers a balanced experience where the GPU is still the primary driver but has enough headroom for High settings.
