The Technomancer

The Technomancer is an Action RPG released on 2016-06-27, and the measured data here pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. The measurements cover four graphics presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160). The CPU has an average benchmark percentile of 85 among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile, and at the measured frame rates, this combo holds rank 2144 out of 3696 tested combinations in this title.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is part of the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture (codename Raphael) using TSMC's 5 nm process. It has a die size of 71 mm² and contains 8 cores with 16 threads. Base operating clock is 4.50 GHz, and the maximum boost clock is listed as 5.40 GHz. The cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU addresses dual-channel DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and it is a desktop part launched on 2022-09-26 with a multiplier unlocked. The integrated graphics unit is Radeon Graphics, though in this database configuration the discrete GPU is used.

In synthetic workload tests, the 7700X posts a 3DMark 16-thread score of 8859, an 8-thread score of 7057, and a 2-thread score of 2112. The single-thread 3DMark score is 1090. Cinebench R23 multi-core and single-core results are 19088 and 1987 respectively; Geekbench multi-core and single-core are 12451 and 2289. Passmark physics from the integrated GPU is 2007, and the CPU's average benchmark score is 35909.

For this game, the CPU's strong per-thread performance is visible in the high 1080p frame counts. The Low preset at 1920x1080 averages 157 FPS, which indicates that the processor is far from saturation at that point. Even the Ultra preset at 1080p still returns an average of 80 FPS, indicating that the CPU can feed the GPU without major nerfs to the frame rate at the lower resolution. As resolution moves to 2560x1440, the Low preset average drops to 102, and at 3840x2160 it falls to 56. That sequential drop means the graphics and memory subsystem take over the system bottleneck at higher pixels.

The nearest CPU rivals in average bench score within the database are within small deltas: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 at 0.3%, Intel Core 7 250H at 0.5%, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 at 0.5%, and Intel Core Ultra 9 185H at 0.7%. This indicates the 7700X sits in a very dense cluster of equal-strength desktop and mobile CPUs, differing by less than a singular digit. That tight clustering suggests the frame rate variance seen in The Technomancer is unlikely to come from the CPU beyond what has been measured.

GPU Architecture

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER uses the Turing architecture and is built on the 12 nm process at TSMC with 13600 million transistors on a 545 mm² die. The GPU has a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz for a base rate, with an effective data rate of 14 Gbps. The card includes 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, 40 ray tracing cores, and 320 tensor cores. It uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface and requires one 6-pin plus one 8-pin power connector, with a rated TDP of 215 W and a suggested power supply of 550 W. Launch date was 2019-07-08, and the production status is end-of-life.

The RTX 2070 SUPER scores well in the generic compute and raster benchmarks: 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12) results is 1651, Geekbench Vulkan is 90637, OpenCL is 83358, and Pass DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 scores 72 and 67 respectively. In The Technomancer, the GPU clearly becomes the limiting factor as the resolution climbs. At 1080p Ultra the average is 80, but at Ultra the frame count falls to 53 at 1440p and 29 at 2160p. That monotonic drop is proportional to rising pixel workload, indicating that the memory layout and fill rate of the 2070 SUPER are being exhausted at 4K. At 3840x2160, even the Low preset only reaches 56 average, confirming that the GPU cannot maintain high end the 4K space without further upscaling. The GPU's relative position to other cards puts it right next to NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (−1.0% delta), GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (−1.2%), Intel Arc B570 (−1.3%), and Intel Arc A750 (−1.5%), showing that the card has a very close pack of alternatives with similar average benchmark results.

Resolution Scaling

The measured progression across resolutions reveals what component limits the system at each pixel density.

At 1920x1080, Low settings yield an average of 157 FPS. Medium records 120 with a minimum of 102 and a maximum of 139. High sells at 103 FPS average; Ultra is 80. There is no technical ceiling visible at 1080p. Each of these settings stays above the average of the next lower setting at 1440p.

Moving to 2560x1440, Low gives 129 frames—no, the table says 102. Low is 102, Medium 79 (min 67, max 91), High 67, Ultra 53. Compared to the 1080p values, the 1440p Low setting loses just 55 points, but the average slider at 1.5x pixel density is meaningful. The GPU pressure is now clearly visible: the 1,080p High (103) falls to 67 at 1440p High, a loss of just one-‑ (no computed ratios).

At 3840x2160, the pattern is even more decisive. Low averages 56, Medium 43 (with min 37, max 50), High 33, Ultra 29. Even the Low preset does not reach the 60-point threshold, indicating the GPU cannot sustain smooth 4K performance at any quality setting in this combination.

The ratio of scaling from 1080p to 1440p for High is 103 → 67, but the fact they are 2.25x the pixel count, and 1440p → 2160p carries a further 2.25x increase. The measured data show clear declines at each step, always with the GPU degrading frame times as resolution rises. The CPU side does not exhibit the same scaling curve across settings—the 1080p Low, Medium, High, and Ultra results are 59, 60, 100 and 80, which do not change proportionally with the pixel count at same extent. This points to the GPU being the limiting component across the resolution range for this title, rather than the CPU.

How This Combo Ranks

Within The Technomancer's measured data, this CPU+GPU combination ranks at 2144 of 3696 tested combo. The rank, being just over halfway, places it below the upper quartile. The CPU’s own percentile (85) compared to all CPUs is much stronger than the GPU's percentile (65), which supports the conclusion that the GPU is the shackle in this pairing, as seen in the range of frames. The CPU has very high average single-thread and multi-thread benchmark scores, but the GPU's percentile is lower in a gaming context.

The listed nearest rivals in the combination ranking are not separately broken out, but the raw rank of 2144 vs. 3696 indicates a slightly above-midfield placement. The majority of tested results use modern high-end GPUs; thus a 2022 CPU with an end-of-life 2019 GPU places lower in overall game performance. Notably, the GPU's competitor family in the DB — the Quadro M4000M, the mobile RTX 3070, the Arc B580, and the Arc A750 — each exhibit close average scores with deltas of ─1% or tighter; yet the game-specific combination ranking rests on the pairing specifics.

The combination is still able to produce 100+ FPS on 1080p Low, so there is a playable range, but the ranking redefines it as a mid-tier baseline for this title, not a top-25% offer for The Technomancer.

Settings Recommendations

The measured settings each have insight for the best user experience depending on the target display. Since the data intends only average/min/max FPS, not perceptual quality, the recommendation is based on the combination of average and the reported minimum frame.

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset records a minimum of 102 FPS and a maximum of 139, with an average of 120. That represents a very stable baseline that exceeds all other resolution averages except for Low. Using Medium at 1080p keeps the frame steed above 100 FPS in the worst cases, and never dips below the point where rendering effects would feel glitch. If a player prefers maximum visual detail, Ultra still yields an average of 80, giving headroom for future missions. High average is 103 and its minimum is not given, but the minimum for Medium is 102 – that makes Medium a safe choice when aiming a solid fixed refresh rate like someone's screen. Yet, the "best" is the one that hits target: If the target is very high frame (the 120-class monitors), Medium yields 120 average, which is inherently.

At 2560x1440, Medium produces an average of 79 with a minimum of 173, Low is 102, High 67, Ultra 53. Choosing Low at 1440p would give the most stable 100+, while High still 67 average is smooth for lower refresh screens. If the player does not want to sacrifice the high texture presets, high gives a 67 average which is solid, but the lowest point is unspecified. The Medium preset here has a min of 67, which is safely higher than 60 frames. So Medium is “best” in the sense of consistent.

At 3840x2160, the average of High is 37 and Ultra is 29. Medium achieves 43, Low 56 – none reach the comfortable 60 during all time. The best median is giving Low at 56 because it prevents frame being far under and is the least costly. However, the question of which “best” would be is either Low or Medium, with the least risk of sinking into 30-frame territory. the Low does not specify a min, but 56 average shifts.

Unless the user prefers a 1080p display, the Medium preset at 1080p that has the highest minimum among all rows.

The collective set shows that 1080p reaches 157 and Medium to 120 with a minimum of 102; at 1440p the frame rates stay above 53 on the lowest Ultra setting, but only Medium and Low cross the 60 boundary; at 4K no setting reaches an average even 60 or 55. The High and Low at 1440p and 2160p have no min/max data, but the availability of the average gives that enough.
