These component-level positions point to a pairing where the GPU is the stronger part, and the game-specific rank of 143 reflects that balance in measured The Technomancer results.

GPU Role

The RTX 5080 carries 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, with 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 2295 MHz and its boost clock is 2617 MHz. Memory runs at 1875 MHz, described in the data as 30 Gbps effective. The GPU is built on TSMC 5 nm with 45,600 million transistors and a 378 mm² die. Its shader array contains 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 84 RT cores, and 336 tensor cores. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 36565 in PassMark G3D, 8637 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, and 21789 in PassMark GPU compute. PassMark DirectX results are 389 for DirectX 9, 208 for DirectX 10, 324 for DirectX 11, and 151 for DirectX 12. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 264461 and the Vulkan score is 257942.

For The Technomancer’s measured results, the GPU’s role is visible in resolution scaling. At 3840x2160, average FPS is 110 on Low, 86.7 on Medium, 71.9 on High, and 57.3 on Ultra. At 2560x1440, those presets produce 187, 157.7, 135.6, and 104.6 respectively. At 1920x1080, the same preset order yields 213.3, 198.2, 184.2, and 164.5. The 16 GB frame buffer and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth are not shown to be limiting anywhere in the measured set, since every preset at every resolution remains at or above 57.3 fps.

The preset ordering is identical in all three resolution groups: Low produces the highest average, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. At 3840x2160, Ultra is the only row in the entire measured set with an average below 71.9 fps. At 2560x1440, the lowest result is Ultra at 104.6 fps, with the other three presets above it. At 1920x1080, every preset remains above 164.5 fps.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake processor. The base clock is 2.60 GHz and the boost clock is 4.40 GHz. It uses an Intel Socket 1200, has a 65 W TDP, and is built on Intel’s 14 nm process. Cache layout is 80 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 12 MB shared L3. Memory support is DDR4 dual-channel with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the RTX 5080 uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface.

Benchmarks show a balanced single-thread and multi-thread profile. Cinebench R23 scores are 14372 multi-core and 2029 single-core. R20 scores are 6036 multi-core and 852 single-core. R15 scores are 1448 multi-core and 204 single-core. PassMark multithread is 16908 and single-thread is 2981. In 3DMark, the CPU scores 5619 with 16 threads, 4691 with 8 threads, 3171 with 4 threads, 1691 with 2 threads, and 868 with 1 thread. This scaling gives the CPU enough throughput to keep 1920x1080 results high: even Ultra averages 164.5 fps.

Since the CPU is constant across all measured rows, the frame-rate decline from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 reflects the GPU workload growing at higher resolutions. The 75th percentile ranking and the 17181 average score place it above the midpoint of the CPU database, which is consistent with a CPU that does not preclude high frame rates in this game’s measured data.

Settings Recommendations

At 1920x1080, the data supports Ultra as the strongest quality preset. It still averages 164.5 fps, while Low moves to 213.3, Medium to 198.2, and High to 184.2. Since Ultra remains far above the other resolution groups, there is no measured reason to drop below Ultra at 1080p unless maximum frame rate is the only goal.

At 2560x1440, High at 135.6 fps is the balanced recommendation. It keeps a high preset while staying well above the Ultra result of 104.6. Medium at 157.7 is the stronger choice if more frame-rate headroom is desired, and Low at 187 is available for the highest possible average.

At 3840x2160, High at 71.9 fps is the best compromise among the measured presets. Ultra at 57.3 is the slowest row in the entire set, while Medium at 86.7 and Low at 110 offer further headroom with reduced settings. Across the full measured set, 1440p High and 4K High are the rows that best balance preset quality with average frame-rate headroom.
