The Technomancer

The The Technomancer data for the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination shows a system that sits in the upper tier of tested combos for this Action RPG. Measured scores place the pair at rank 76 out of 3696 tested combinations, a position that lands it within the top 2% of all combos on record for this game. The results are drawn from actual runs, not estimates, and the FPS data spans three display resolutions and four quality settings, with medium presets including minimum and maximum frames.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 76 out of 3696 tested pairs in The Technomancer is a direct measure of the combined CPU/GPU performance relative to the full database of tested combinations. That percentile (roughly the 98th percentile) places it far ahead of the field, with only a fraction of configurations reaching higher aggregate FPS. The CPU alone holds a percentile of 94 among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 88th percentile among all GPUs, so the pairing is well matched for a 2016 action RPG title. What is notable is that the overall combo rank (top 2%) exceeds what either component alone would suggest, meaning the two together are particularly effective for this game.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU: the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is bracket within 1% of the Intel Core i7-14700KF (deltaPct: 1) and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F (deltaPct: 1.3), while the Intel Xeon 6511P (-0.2) and Xeon Platinum 8270 (-0.7) are slightly slower. For the GPU, the RTX 4090 sits at a 0% delta relative to the Intel Arc Pro A60, with a 0.3% delta to the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48, and a -2.5% delta to the AMD W6600M. These differences are minor in the average benchmark score, but in-game the RTX 4090 shows its strength in the measured FPS, not just in the synthetic compute stats.

The overall rank confirms that this combination is not only a theoretical powerhouse—it is a practical one for this specific title. The FPS data collected under varied presets and resolutions show why: the pairing is capable of exceeding 300 fps at 1080p Low and still dropping to 61 fps at 4K Ultra, covering a wide performance envelope.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this combo for The Technomancer. It carries 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, which yields 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth. That memory capacity is well beyond what this title requires even at 4K Ultra, and it leaves a wide Latrobe for high refresh rates. The GPU clocks run from a 2235 MHz base to a 2520 MHz boost; memory sits at 1313 MHz. These clock rates are high, and the measured frame data show that the GPU scales cleanly with setting changes from Low to Ultra.

The RTX 4090 has a passmark G3D score of 38194, which places it in the 88th percentile for all GPUs. But the face in this game: at 1080p Ultra, the card delivers 169 fps average; the 1080p Medium preset sends that to 253 fps with a 215 fps minimum; at Low, 329 fps. These numbers show that the GPU is not challenged at 1080p, and even at 1440p Medium the average is 165 fps with a 140 fps minimum. Only at 4K Ultra does the card finally meet steam, averaging 61 fps. That is a repertoire that ranges from 61 to 329, a factor of 5 in FPS between the most demanding and the most lightweight settings, and it all traces back to the GPU's ability to drive that many pixels.

The 24 GB VRAM is a particular asset given the game's age. It means the card is never VRAM-limited even at 4K Ultra, where the engine. The high memory bandwidth rather re through the 384-bit bus means fast larger textures are moved quickly, minimizing any stutter that could lower a min-FPS number. The data shows that min-FPS values, when previously recorded (only provided for Medium), are far from the average: at 1080p Medium the min is 215 vs average 253, and at 4K Medium the min is 77 vs average 91. This IPC pattern suggests stable frame pacing.

Q: Which settings provide the absolute highest FPS?

A: Unsurprisingly, the Low preset gives the highest FPS at every resolution: 329 (1080p), 215 (1440p), and 118 (4K). However, even the Medium preset provides higher FPS than can be matched by 4K Ultra in any case.

Q: Does the Core Ultra 7 265K's 20 cores help in this game?

A: The measured data with that CPU and the RTX 4090 shows that the combo top of the ranks (76th out of 3696). The CPU's high multithreaded performance (a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35850) contributes to avoiding any CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions, where the 4090 is not the limiter.

Q: What is the CPU's single-thread performance like?

A: The Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2020, and the PassMark Single Thread test yields 4928, placing the CPU in the 94th percentile among all CPUs. These numbers indicate strong per-core capacity, which helps sustain high average FPS even at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four setting presets: Low, Medium, High, Ultra. For Medium, the data additionally includes min/max frames. Here is the complete measured FPS list:

• 1920×1080 (1080p)
• Low: avg 329 fps
• Ultra: avg 169 fps
• Medium: avg 253 fps, min 215, max 291
• High: avg 216 fps

• 2560×1440 (1440p)
• Low: avg 215 fps
• Ultra: avg 110 fps
• Medium: avg 165 fps, min 140, max 190
• High: avg 141 fps

• 2160p (4K)
• Low: avg 118 fps
• Ultra: avg 61 fps
• Medium: avg 91 fps, min 77, max 104
• High: avg 77 fps

The data highlights a clear hierarchy: as expected, lowering the preset increases FPS, and lowering resolution gives more frames. At 1080p, every setting is well above 60 fps; even 4K Medium (avg 91 FPS) remains fluid, but 4K Ultra (avg 61) is the only metric that approaches the limit of a 60 Hz display. The Medium setting min/max values show a consistency scale: at 4K the min is 77, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so a 144Hz monitor would see occasional dips below its refresh.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the recommended setting depends on the target display and desired experience. For a standard 60 Hz display at 1440p or 4K, the High preset delivers 77 fps at 4K (above 60) and 141 fps at 1440p—well above any common refresh rate 60–144 Hz. At 1080p High it gives 216 fps, flattening the ceiling of most 144 Hz monitors.

If the goal is the highest possible frame rate without dipping into Low, the Medium preset (which includes actual minimum frame values) is the safest pairing: it provides 253 fps average at 1080p with a 215 fps minimum, and at 1440p it holds a 165 average broken by a minimum of 140. Both are above a 144 Hz refresh, ensuring a constant high-rate experience. The Ultra preset at 4K is marginal for a 60 Hz (61 vs 60 fps) and is well above 60 at 1440p (110 FPS) and 1080p (169). So the best "quality vs of speed" move for most users is to run 4K High (avg 77) or 1440p High (avg 141) to keep the game above 60 FPS with high texture fidelity. The Low preset should be reserved for extreme frame rate caps of 329 at 1080p, where the scores are not necessarily needed but are available.

CPU Role

Although GPU is the main driver of the high FPS, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a substantial contributor, particularly in the lower resolutions or lower presets where the GPU can produce hundreds of frames. The CPU has 20 cores and 20 threads, running at a base 3.90 GHz and boosting to 5.50 GHz. It includes 30 MB of shared L3 cache and a TDP of so of 125 W. Its memory support is DDR5 dual channel with a bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s.

The CPU's benchmark profile is strong: Geekbench 23 scores are 35850 multi-core and 2020 single-core, while Cinebench R20 scores are 20918 multi and 2953 single. Its average benchmark overall (AVG Benchmark) is 70879, placing it at the 94th among all CPUs. Its current rivals include the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (71870 avg, -0.7% delta), the Intel Core i7-14700KF (70163 avg, +1% delta), and the Intel Xeon 6511P (71051 avg, -0.2%) and Ryzen 7 9700F (69996 avg, +1.3% delta). All within a few percent of one another, indicating that the 265K is at the same performance class as those parts.

The FPS data shows that the CPU does not bottleneck at any measured point. At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 329 fps—a value that pushes against the CPU’s ability to feed frames, but the average holds steady. The same behavior at 1440p Low (215 fps) confirms the CPU is enough to keep the GPU at full throttle. The 20 threads may be more than this game leverages, but the high single-core boost helps sustain per-frame pipeline at high FPS. In the end, The Technomancer is not a CPU-heavy title, so the 265K's work is enough to avoid losing any throughput.

Resolution Scaling

From FPS to the 4K, the data shows a classic GPU-bound progression. At High settings, the measured averages are 216 (1080p), 141 (1440p), and 77 (4K). That translates to a 65% drop from 1080p to 1440p (from 216 to 141) and another 45% drop from 1440p to 4K (from 141 to 77)—the fall from 216 at 1080p to 77 at 4K is roughly a 64% reduction in frame count. The same scaling holds for the Medium preset: 253 → 135 → 91 (from 1080p to 1440p to 4K), and because Min FPS is known for Medium, we can see the lowest recorded score also follows the same slope, from 215 to 140 to 77.

This behavior is a clear indicator that the RTX 4090 is the limiting component as resolution rises. The GPU's 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth and 24 GB of VRAM handle raw resolution increases, but the FPS scaling is suggestive of a fill-rate bottleneck at 4K, rather than a CPU issue. At 1080p, the GPU is nowhere near max pressure—the 329 FPS Low is likely near a cap supplied by the CPU's draw call processing. At 4K Ultra, the GPU's texture crunch brings the frame to 61, and thus the CPU still has ample headroom. The measured medium minimum (77 at 4K Max vs a 91 average) shows that pixel generation is the primary stopper at scale.

Additionally, the setting preset changes the scaling away. On Low presets, the FPS at 1080p (329) drops to 215 at 1440p and 118 at 4K; that’s a 64% drop from 1080p to 4K. On Ultra, the drop is from 169 to 110 to 61—the same 36% scale from 1080p to 4K, because the GPU is becoming equally bound under load. The takeaway is that the system scales are fractionally stable with the resolution, which is typical, and the CPU does not insert a fixed floor that could flatten the curve. If the CPU was the bottleneck, the scaling would have shown a much slower decline at higher presets. Instead, the 4K Ultra’s 61 FPS vs 111 FPS at 1440p, the drop difference of T.-Ultimately, the data point to the RTX 4090 as the dominant factor as the resolution rises, while the 265K keeps the one-end (1080p and Low) fast.
