The Technomancer

The Technomancer is an Action RPG released on 2016-06-27. The measured FPS rows for this page pair an Intel Core i5-9400 with an AMD Radeon RX 7600, covering 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. The combination ranks 1151 of 1656 measured combinations. Every FPS row is measured data; minimum and maximum values are null. In the measured set, the fastest result is 145.2 fps at 1920x1080 Low, and the slowest is 26.6 fps at 3840x2160 Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution ladder has a clear effect on the measured averages. At High settings, the average FPS is 96.6 at 1920x1080, 62.2 at 2560x1440, and 32.3 at 3840x2160. The Medium preset moves from 110.2 to 71.4 to 37.5 fps. Low moves from 145.2 to 93.2 to 49.2 fps, while Ultra moves from 74.7 to 50.4 to 26.6 fps.

In every preset, the 3840x2160 measurement is the lowest. The fastest 3840x2160 row, Low at 49.2 fps, is lower than the slowest 2560x1440 row, Ultra at 50.4 fps. This makes the resolution effect easy to see: the entire 4K block sits below the entire 1440p block. At 1920x1080, all presets are 74.7 fps or higher. At 2560x1440, all presets are 50.4 fps or higher. At 3840x2160, the highest preset result is 49.2 fps.

This pattern points to the GPU as the controlling factor as resolution rises. If the CPU were the main constraint, the measured FPS would not shift this strongly across the resolution ladder. The data instead shows a rendering-load-limited profile: increasing resolution lowers the average at every preset step.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows give a clear ordering for settings. At 1920x1080, Ultra produces 74.7 fps, while Medium and High produce 110.2 and 96.6 fps. Low reaches 145.2 fps. For a 1920x1080 display, Ultra is the strongest combination of preset level and measured FPS: it is the top preset and still delivers 74.7 fps.

At 2560x1440, the choice is tighter. High produces 62.2 fps, Medium produces 71.4 fps, and Ultra drops to 50.4 fps. High is the quality-oriented pick among the measured rows, while Medium adds frame-rate margin. Low at 93.2 fps is the fastest 2560x1440 preset, but it uses the lowest quality step.

At 3840x2160, Low is the fastest measured preset at 49.2 fps. Stepping up to Medium, High, or Ultra lowers the average to 37.5, 32.3, or 26.6 fps respectively. The data shows that 4K does not support the top preset in this combination; the highest quality step is limited by the measured frame rates.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is built around Navi 33 on RDNA 3.0, with 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 RT cores. Its clocks are 1720 MHz base, 2655 MHz boost, and 2250 MHz game clock. The memory subsystem is 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 2250 MHz, listed as 18 Gbps effective, yielding 288.0 GB/s. The card has a 165 W TDP and a launch MSRP of 269 USD.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 20258, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are close: the RX 7600 XT scores 20146, 0.6% lower than the RX 7600; the RX 460 scores 20088, 0.8% lower; the RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.3% higher; and the Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.5% higher.

Within The Technomancer, the 8 GB capacity and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are fixed across all measured rows. The measured rows do not report VRAM usage, so capacity cannot be tied to a specific frame-rate limit. The 4K results show the GPU under load: even Low at 3840x2160 produces 49.2 fps, and Ultra at that resolution drops to 26.6 fps. At 1920x1080, the same GPU produces 145.2 fps at Low and 74.7 fps at Ultra, indicating enough rendering throughput for high-resolution work at lower settings, but not for the full Ultra load at 3840x2160.

FAQ

Q: What is the fastest measured result in the dataset?

A: The fastest measured average is 145.2 fps at 1920x1080 with Low settings. The slowest is 26.6 fps at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings.

Q: How does 2560x1440 Ultra compare with 3840x2160 Low?

A: The i5-9400 has an average benchmark score of 2305 in the 50th percentile. It is 0.2% higher than the i3-10305 and i3-1125G4, 0.4% higher than the Xeon E-2134, and 0.6% lower than the i7-8809G.

Q: What is the combo’s rank among measured systems in The Technomancer?

A: The Intel Core i5-9400 plus AMD Radeon RX 7600 ranks 1151 of 1656 measured combinations.

Q: Which preset is recommended at 2560x1440?

A: Based on the measured rows, High at 62.2 fps gives the highest quality step before Ultra drops to 50.4 fps. Medium gives 71.4 fps if more frame-rate margin is preferred.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-9400 has 6 cores and 6 threads, with a base clock of 2.90 GHz, a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, 9 MB of shared L3 cache, and a 65 W TDP. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration at 42.7 GB/s. Its Cinebench scores are 803 in R15 multicore and 113 in single-core, 3346 in R20 multicore and 472 in single-core, and 7969 in R23 multicore and 1125 in single-core. The average benchmark score is 2305, which puts it in the 50th percentile.

The CPU’s nearest rivals are close in average score: the i3-10305 is at 2300, 0.2% lower than the i5-9400; the i3-1125G4 is at 2299, 0.2% lower; the Xeon E-2134 is at 2295, 0.4% lower; and the i7-8809G is at 2319, 0.6% higher.

In the game, the CPU side is exposed most at 1920x1080 Low, where the combo reaches 145.2 fps. That high average suggests the 6-core, 6-thread chip can feed the RX 7600 in lower-load rows. At 3840x2160, the same CPU/GPU pair is far lower, with all presets between 26.6 fps and 49.2 fps; the resolution change affects the GPU much more than the CPU. The data therefore places the CPU as a supporting element in this game: sufficient for high frame rates at 1920x1080, but not the component stressed by the 3840x2160 frame-rate drop.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1920x1080 | 145.2 | 110.2 | 96.6 | 74.7 |

| 2560x1440 | 93.2 | 71.4 | 62.2 | 50.4 |

| 3840x2160 | 49.2 | 37.5 | 32.3 | 26.6 |

The table shows that each resolution row is internally ordered: Low is fastest and Ultra is slowest. Similarly, each preset column is ordered by resolution: 1920x1080 is fastest and 3840x2160 is slowest. The combination’s in-game rank is 1151 of 1656 measured combinations. Minimum and maximum FPS fields are null for all rows, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS.
