Inside

Best Settings per Resolution

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a smooth experience in Inside across most of the tested configurations. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the recorded data shows which presets clear that bar at each resolution.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average frame rate of 87 FPS. The Low preset runs at 108 FPS, but Medium is the better visual choice while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the threshold. High and Ultra fall short: High averages 54 FPS and Ultra averages 52 FPS, both below the 60 FPS playable line.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), every tested preset clears 60 FPS, so the best settings are Ultra, which averages 82 FPS. High runs at 86 FPS, Medium at 138 FPS, and Low at 172 FPS, but Ultra is the most demanding option that remains fully playable.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 114 FPS. The lower presets run even faster: High at 120 FPS, Medium at 189 FPS, and Low at 205 FPS. At this resolution, the combination has ample headroom, and even the heaviest preset stays well above 60 FPS.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K with maximum settings?

A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops to 52 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest preset that remains playable at 4K is Medium, averaging 87 FPS.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are fully playable, averaging 82 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for this resolution.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. Ultra averages 114 FPS, High averages 120 FPS, Medium averages 189 FPS, and Low averages 205 FPS. The best settings are Ultra, as it delivers the highest visual quality while still providing nearly double the playable threshold.

Q: Which presets fail to reach 60 FPS at any resolution?

A: Only two configurations fall below the 60 FPS threshold: 3840x2160 with High settings averaging 54 FPS, and 3840x2160 with Ultra settings averaging 52 FPS. All other tested combinations at 1440p and 1080p exceed 60 FPS.

Q: Is the game CPU-bound or GPU-bound with this hardware?

A: The data does not directly separate CPU and GPU load, but the frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings. At lower resolutions like 1080p, the average frame rates rise substantially (up to 205 FPS on Low), indicating that the Intel Arc B570 is the primary limiter at higher presets, while the Ryzen 5 2600 provides sufficient throughput.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for the Medium preset?

A: For Medium settings, the minimum frame rates were recorded at all three resolutions: 74 FPS at 3840x2160, 117 FPS at 2560x1440, and 161 FPS at 1920x1080. These minimums all remain above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and Intel Arc B570 combination in Inside are recorded across four presets and three resolutions. The data includes average frame rates for all configurations, with minimum and maximum values available for the Medium preset at each resolution.

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: average 108 FPS
• Medium: average 87 FPS, minimum 74 FPS, maximum 100 FPS
• High: average 54 FPS
• Ultra: average 52 FPS

At 4K, the step from Medium to High causes a significant drop of 33 FPS, pushing the average below the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between High and Ultra is small, only 2 FPS, suggesting that the rendering workload at this resolution saturates the GPU regardless of the top two presets.

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: average 172 FPS
• Medium: average 138 FPS, minimum 117 FPS, maximum 159 FPS
• High: average 86 FPS
• Ultra: average 82 FPS

At 1440p, the frame rate scales more gracefully than at 4K. The drop from Medium to High is 52 FPS, but even Ultra remains comfortably above the playable threshold. The minimum recorded frame rate on Medium is 117 FPS, showing consistent delivery well above 60 FPS.

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: average 205 FPS
• Medium: average 189 FPS, minimum 161 FPS, maximum 217 FPS
• High: average 120 FPS
• Ultra: average 114 FPS

At 1080p, the combination is rarely stressed. Even the Ultra preset averages 114 FPS, nearly double the playable threshold. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 161 FPS, which is higher than the average of many other systems at higher resolutions. The difference between High and Ultra is only 6 FPS, indicating diminishing returns at the top end.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the Ryzen 5 2600 in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21484. Its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark data are all within a narrow band. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 21440, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 2600. The Intel Core i9-11900H scores 21367, a 0.5% deficit. On the other side, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, outperforming the Ryzen 5 2600 by 0.7%, and the AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, which is 1.2% lower. In practice, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Inside, as the game is not particularly CPU-intensive and the differences are within a couple of percent.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570 sits in the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534, which is 0.1% slower, and the Intel Arc A750 at 20582, which is 0.1% faster. Two older mobile workstation and mobile chips also appear nearby: the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480, 0.4% slower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 20662, 0.5% faster. These deltas are negligible for a game like Inside, so a system with any of these GPUs paired with a similar CPU would produce frame rates within a few FPS of the measured results. The Arc A750 is the closest direct competitor in the same product family, while the RTX 3070 Mobile represents the NVIDIA alternative at a similar performance level.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and Intel Arc B570 combination can run Inside with clear success at most tested configurations. The verdict from the recorded data is as follows.

At 3840x2160, the system is playable on Low and Medium settings. Medium is the best choice, averaging 87 FPS. High and Ultra are not playable, falling to 54 FPS and 52 FPS respectively, both below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system is playable on all four presets. Ultra is the best settings option, averaging 82 FPS, and it remains well above the playable threshold even though it is the most demanding preset.

At 1920x1080, the system is playable on all four presets. Ultra averages 114 FPS, making it the recommended choice for the best visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

Overall, this combo delivers a fully playable experience at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with Medium settings. The only limitations appear at 4K with High or Ultra, where the GPU cannot maintain 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Inside, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with the Intel Arc B570 ranks 3045 out of 3716 total combos. This places it in the lower portion of the tested field, around the 18th percentile of all recorded configurations.

That ranking may seem modest, but it reflects the fact that the database includes many high-end systems with substantially more powerful CPUs and GPUs. For this specific game, the ranking does not tell the full story: the recorded frame rates show that this combo is fully playable at 1080p and 1440p with Ultra settings, and at 4K with Medium settings. The lower rank is driven by the absolute performance ceiling of the hardware rather than by any failure to meet the playable threshold in common scenarios.

The CPU sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, but the combined rank of 3045 out of 3716 indicates that the pairing is not near the top of the leaderboard. Still, for a puzzle platformer like Inside, the practical performance is more than adequate. The combination clears the 60 FPS playable threshold in nine out of twelve tested configurations, and the three that fall short are all at 4K with High or Ultra settings. At the most common gaming resolutions, this system delivers a smooth and responsive experience.
