The Technomancer

The Technomancer, a 2016 Action RPG, exhibits a wide performance envelope when paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT. Measured FPS range from 179 FPS at 1080p Low to 33 FPS at 4K Ultra, placing this configuration at rank 1698 of 3696 tested combinations. The data reveals a CPU with ample single‑thread and multi‑thread headroom, and a GPU that governs frame rates at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

Scaling from 1920×1080 to 2560×1440 and then to 3840×2160 shows a linear drop in average FPS across every preset. On Ultra, the average drops from 92 FPS at 1080p to 60 FPS at 1440p, and further to 33 FPS at 2160p. The ratio of 1080p to 1440p average frame rate for Ultra is 92:60, while the 1440p‑to‑2160p interpolation is 60:33. These step factors indicate that the GPU is the primary calibrator of pixel‑count scaling, as rendering load grows with total pixels.

A more striking pattern appears in Low settings; the low preset yields 179 FPS at 1080p, 117 at 1440p, and 64 at 2160p. The 4K Low figure is still above the 1080p High average (117) and 1440p High average (77), meaning that at any given resolution, the variable settings themselves are at least as influential as the resolution step. Notably, the 4K Ultra produces an average 33 FPS, only 64% of the 4K Low figure, but the delta widens as the preset climbs.

The min and max data, available only for Medium preset, offer insight into frame pacing. At 2160p, the Medium preset has a minimum of 42 FPS and maximum of 57 FPS, a narrow band around the 49 FPS average. The 1080p Medium spread is wider: min 117, max 158, relative to its 138 average. This indicates that, at lower resolutions, the GPU can pace frame generation more flexibly, while at 4K the limits tighten.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS at each preset provides a practical guide for setting priorities. At 1920×1080, every preset exceeds 60 FPS: Low 179, Medium 138, High 117, and Ultra 92. Even Ultra is comfortably above 60, so playing at Ultra on 1080p is viable, though the gap between Ultra and Medium is 46 FPS (92 vs 138). For players seeking smooth frames on standard 1080p displays, Medium or High settings deliver above 100 FPS.

At 2560×1440, only the Low preset clearly exceeds 100 FPS (117). Medium (90) and High (77) both clear the 60 FPS threshold, while Ultra sits exactly at 60 FPS. Thus, 1440p users should favor Medium if aiming for a 60‑something experience, because High and Medium spacing is 77 vs 90, with 3 to 4 FPS of margin.

At 3840×2160, the choice narrows. Only Low achieves 60 FPS (64 FPS average). Medium averages 49 FPS, with a maximum of 57 and minimum of 42. High 42 FPS and Ultra 33 FPS are below the 60 threshold, making them less attractive for fast‑paced motion. For a playable 4K encounter, the Low preset is the sole option that can maintain an average around 60 FPS; Medium is borderline, producing visible lower frame pacing.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT holds 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192‑bit bus with a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The memory clock reaches 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the base clock is 2150 MHz and the boost clock is 2600 MHz, alternating with a game clock of 2495 MHz. These memory and clock parameters support high texture resolution and effective data throughput, as demonstrated by the wide FPS spread between its Low and Ultra profiles.

The GPU’s raw compute is reflected in benchmark scores: its Geekbench Vulkan score is 98089, Metal 137249, OpenCL 16360, and Passmark G3D 20700. It sits in the 71st percentile of all GPUs. In comparison to its nearest rivals, it is 0.5 percent higher than an AMD Radeon R9 M395X, 0.6 percent higher than a FirePro W7100, and 0.7 percent higher than a FirePro D700, while NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile scores 1.1 percent lower. These small percentile gaps underscore the RX 6750 XT’s mid‑tier positioning. The launch MSRP for the RX 6750 XT is 549 USD.

Collectively, the GPU’s resource capacity aligns with observed FPS: the 4K Low preset still generates 64 FPS, but the 4K High preset falls to 42 FPS, a 22 FPS reduction. The shift is consistent with the 12 GB VRAM becoming a secondary factor at high‑resolutions, but the compute block being the principal GPU limitation.

| 3840×2160 | Ultra | 33 | – | – |

This breakdown shows that the Ryzen 9 5950X can push the RX 6750 XT to its limit at 1080, but at 4K the GPU bound. The medium preset at 4K provides 42-57 FPS, which squeezes into the playable range for users with adaptive sync.

How This Combo Ranks

Among 3,696 measured configurations for The Technomancer, this CPU‑GPU combination is ranked 1698th. That rank places it in the upper half of the tested pool, since 1,698 positions are ahead and 1,998 are behind. The 5950X CPU is also in the 91st percentile across all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 51,947. Its closest rivals are the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (average 52,073, delta of -0.2%), the AMD EPYC 8124P (average 52,121, delta -0.3%), Intel Core i9-13900F (51,730, delta -0.4%, actually +0.4%), and the Intel Core i7-14700 (52,301, delta -0.7%). So the CPU lags behind the Ultra 5 235HX and EPYC 8124P by ~0.2-0.3%, while the i9-13900F is 0.4% higher.

On the GPU side, the RX 6750 XT has an average benchmark score of 26,733? Wait, the GPU's avgBenchmarkScore is 26,011. The nearest rival scores are 25,891 (R9 M395X), 25,856 (FirePro W7100), 25,842 (FirePro D700), and 25,740 (RTX 3080 Ti Mobile). The deltaPct values indicate the RX 6750 XT is 0.5% faster than the R9 M395X, 0.6% faster than the FirePro W7100, 0.7% faster than the FirePro D700, and 1.1% faster than the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile.

Combining these, the rank below the top half is not surprising, as the GPU side scores only modestly above its direct mobile chip competitor, and the CPU is not drastically higher than its rivals. Nevertheless, the measured game performance, with 179 FPS at 1080p Low, shows the pair can drive high frame rates in less demanding scenarios.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16‑core, 32‑processor (32 threads) processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on TSMC 7nm. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz and boost clock reaches 4.90 GHz, while holding a TDP of 105 W. The chip has an L3 cache of 64 MB and supports DDR4 memory at a dual‑channel rate with a band‑with of 51.2 GB/s. The launch MSRP of the Ryzen 9 5950X is $799.

Its multi‑threaded performance scores are strong: Cinebench R23 multi 26,017 and single‑core 1,614; Geekbench multi 15,233 and single 2,083; Passmark multi‑thread 45,424 and single‑thread 3,470. The 3DMark scores at 16 threads (10,810) and max threads (11,597) show that the CPU scales very well with thread count.

Given these numbers, the 5950X is a heavyweight CPU that can feed the 6750 XT very high frame rates at 1080p, as seen in the 179 FPS low preset. The CPU sits in the 91st percentile, ranking it above nearly all current processors. At higher resolutions, the FPS drops are directly attributable to the GPU; the CPU at 1080p is still capable of more than the GPU can deliver. The frame rate that 179 FPS at 1080p sits as the highest measured, so the CPU is not a limiting factor within this measured data. While the game itself is from 2016, the data in this pack does not contain any measurement of core utilization or thread usage, so any assertion about the CPU's role is purely inferred from these results. However, the vast headroom in multi‑threaded scores makes it unlikely that the CPU bottleneck occurs in this title.

The delta percentages with nearest CPU rivals (only ~0.2–0.7%) show the Ryzen 9 5950X closely matches several Intel Core i7 and i9 models, yet it holds a 91st percentile rank overall, confirming its place as a high‑grunt lover for mid‑range GPU pairings.
