Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a combination that places a capable mid-generation CPU alongside a high-end modern GPU. The recorded data for Inside shows that this pairing produces very high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, making it a strong candidate for smooth gameplay. The benchmark results indicate that the system comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold in every configuration tested, with the most demanding preset at each resolution still delivering well over double that target. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, the role each component plays, and how this specific combo compares to others in the database.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records performance at three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160) across four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold is Ultra, and the measured average FPS at that setting is as follows.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 155.1 FPS. This is the highest settings option available, and it runs at a frame rate that is more than double the playable threshold. The data shows that even at this most demanding configuration, there is substantial headroom for refresh rates well beyond standard 60 Hz displays.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 138 FPS. The increase in resolution from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average frame rate by about 11% compared to the 1080p Ultra result, but the headroom above 60 FPS remains immense. The system is not stressed by this resolution, and the Ultra setting is still the recommended choice for the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 113.1 FPS. This is the lowest average FPS recorded for any Ultra setting in this test set, but it still sits well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The gap between the Ultra average and the playable threshold is more than 53 FPS, meaning that even at 4K with maximum settings, the game runs comfortably. The data suggests that for this title, the GPU is powerful enough to handle 4K Ultra without any need to lower settings for playability.

For all three resolutions, the Ultra preset is the best choice if the goal is maximum visual fidelity while staying above 60 FPS. Lower presets (High, Medium, Low) also exceed the threshold, but they do not offer the same level of detail. The recorded FPS values for those lower presets are higher, but since Ultra already meets the playability requirement with a large margin, there is no reason to reduce settings based on performance constraints alone.

CPU and GPU Roles

Understanding which component matters more for Inside requires examining how the measured FPS scales between resolutions and presets. The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the average FPS drops, but the drop is moderate, indicating that the GPU is becoming a larger factor at higher pixel counts.

At 1920x1080, the difference between the Low and Ultra presets is substantial. The Low preset averages 203.9 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 155.1 FPS, a gap of 48.8 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is still the primary driver of performance, but the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU efficiently, as the frame rates are extremely high. The Ryzen 5 2600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, does not appear to bottleneck the RTX 4070 SUPER at this resolution, as the lowest preset yields over 200 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the scaling is similar but slightly more pronounced. The Low preset averages 181.1 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 138 FPS, a gap of 43.1 FPS. Compared to 1080p, the Low preset drops by 22.8 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops by 17.1 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is taking on more work as the pixel count rises, but the CPU is still keeping up, as the frame rates remain very high.

At 3840x2160, the resolution scaling becomes clearer. The Low preset averages 155.5 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 113.1 FPS, a gap of 42.4 FPS. From 1080p Low to 4K Low, the average FPS drops by 48.4 FPS, while from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra, the drop is 42 FPS. This shows that the GPU is the dominant factor at 4K, as the increased pixel count directly impacts the rendering load. However, the CPU is still not the limiting factor, as even the highest resolution with the lowest preset stays above 150 FPS.

The data indicates that the GPU plays a more significant role at higher resolutions, while the CPU remains sufficient across all tested configurations. The Ryzen 5 2600, despite being an older architecture, provides enough single-thread and multi-thread performance to avoid becoming a bottleneck in this game. The RTX 4070 SUPER, with its high memory bandwidth and shading capabilities, handles the rendering load effectively, and the combination results in consistent frame rates that scale predictably with resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following is the complete measured FPS data for all combinations of resolution and settings, as recorded in the database. All values are average FPS, with no minimum or maximum frame data available for this game.

1920x1080:

• Low: 203.9 FPS
• Medium: 190.2 FPS
• High: 156.4 FPS
• Ultra: 155.1 FPS

At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high. The Low preset exceeds 200 FPS, which is rare for many titles and indicates that the CPU and GPU are both operating with significant headroom. The Medium preset is only 13.7 FPS lower than Low, while the High preset drops to 156.4 FPS. The Ultra preset is nearly identical to High, with a difference of just 1.3 FPS. This suggests that the jump from High to Ultra has a minimal performance cost, and the GPU is not maxed out at this resolution.

2560x1440:

• Low: 181.1 FPS
• Medium: 168.3 FPS
• High: 143.6 FPS
• Ultra: 138 FPS

At 1440p, the frame rates remain high but show a more noticeable separation between presets. The Low preset averages 181.1 FPS, which is still well above the playable threshold. The Medium preset drops to 168.3 FPS, a 12.8 FPS reduction. The High preset falls to 143.6 FPS, and the Ultra preset is at 138 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is 5.6 FPS, which is a modest cost for the additional visual settings.

3840x2160:

• Low: 155.5 FPS
• Medium: 147.1 FPS
• High: 115 FPS
• Ultra: 113.1 FPS

At 4K, the frame rates are still very playable, but the impact of the higher resolution is evident. The Low preset averages 155.5 FPS, which is only slightly lower than the 1080p High preset. The Medium preset drops to 147.1 FPS, a 8.4 FPS reduction from Low. The High preset falls to 115 FPS, which is a significant drop of 32.1 FPS from Medium. The Ultra preset is at 113.1 FPS, just 1.9 FPS lower than High. This pattern shows that the High and Ultra presets at 4K place a much larger load on the GPU, but the system still maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

The data reveals that the performance scaling is not linear. The largest FPS drops occur when moving from Medium to High at 4K, which suggests that the High preset introduces effects that are particularly demanding. However, even at the worst-case scenario (4K Ultra), the average FPS is 113.1, which is 53.1 FPS above the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 2086 out of 3716 tested combos in the database for Inside. This places the combo in the middle of the overall distribution, which is an interesting result given the high frame rates measured.

The ranking is based on the overall performance of the combo across all tested games, not just Inside. The percentile data for the individual components shows that the CPU ranks in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. However, the combo rank of 2086 out of 3716 suggests that other factors, such as the specific game's workload, influence the overall ranking.

For Inside specifically, the measured FPS values are all well above average for typical gaming scenarios, but the combo rank indicates that there are many other combinations that achieve even higher frame rates in other titles. The data shows that this particular pairing is well-balanced, with the GPU providing strong performance and the CPU not holding it back, but the rank reflects the broader context of all tested hardware.

The combo rank of 2086 out of 3716 means that roughly 56% of tested combos rank higher, and 44% rank lower. This is not a top-tier ranking, but it is also not a poor one. The high FPS numbers for Inside suggest that the ranking is influenced by other games where the CPU may be a limiting factor, but for this specific title, the performance is excellent.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database provides nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU based on their average benchmark scores. These alternatives indicate what other hardware would behave similarly in terms of overall processing power.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, the nearest rivals are:

• Intel Core Ultra 5 228V: has an average score of 21440, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 2600's average score of 21484. This means the Intel Ultra 5 228V would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance.
• Intel Core i9-11900H: has an average score of 21367, which is 0.5% lower. The i9-11900H is a mobile processor but offers similar compute capability in synthetic benchmarks.
• Intel Xeon D-1746TER: has an average score of 21635, which is 0.7% higher than the Ryzen 5 2600. This server-oriented chip would perform slightly better in CPU-heavy tasks.
• AMD EPYC 9454: has an average score of 21223, which is 1.2% higher. The EPYC 9454 is a server processor, but its average score is close enough to suggest similar overall throughput.

In practice, any of these CPUs would likely produce similar FPS results in Inside, as the game is not heavily CPU-bound at the tested settings. The Ryzen 5 2600's performance is sufficient, and the rivals listed would not change the gaming experience meaningfully.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, the nearest rivals are:

• NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB: has an average score of 43262, which is 0.1% higher than the RTX 4070 SUPER's average score of 43223. This professional GPU would deliver nearly identical frame rates.
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile: has an average score of 43268, which is 0.1% higher. A mobile GPU with similar performance, though power and thermal constraints might affect sustained performance.
• NVIDIA Quadro M6000: has an average score of 43301, which is 0.2% higher. The non-24 GB version is also very close in performance.
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile: has an average score of 43667, which is 1% higher. This is a higher-tier mobile GPU, but the difference is small enough that gameplay would be similar.

For Inside, any of these GPU alternatives would produce FPS values within a few frames of the RTX 4070 SUPER. The measured FPS for the RTX 4070 SUPER at 4K Ultra is 113.1, and a GPU that is 1% faster would result in approximately 114 FPS, which is a negligible difference. The data indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER sits in a performance band where many near-identical alternatives exist, both from NVIDIA's professional lineup and from mobile GPUs.
