Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Inside with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B570 covers three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers an average of 234 FPS on Low, 192 FPS on Medium, 120 FPS on High, and 114 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset includes measured minimum and maximum values of 163 and 221 FPS respectively, while the other presets at this resolution only report average FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop but remain high: Low produces 172 FPS, Medium 138 FPS, High 86 FPS, and Ultra 82 FPS. The Medium preset again reports a min/max range, this time from 117 FPS to 159 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is substantial, with the Ultra preset falling from 114 FPS average to 82 FPS, a reduction of roughly 28%.

At 3840x2160, the performance picture changes more dramatically. Low settings still yield a comfortable 108 FPS average, and Medium follows at 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS. High settings fall to 54 FPS average, and Ultra drops further to 52 FPS. These two higher presets at 4K do not report min/max values, but their averages sit below the 60 FPS playable threshold used throughout this analysis.

The data shows a clear pattern: the combo is capable of very high frame rates at lower resolutions, with 1080p and 1440p remaining above 80 FPS even at Ultra. At 4K, only Low and Medium clear the 60 FPS bar, while High and Ultra fall short by a noticeable margin.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the Ryzen 5 3600 and the Arc B570. Inside is not a demanding title by modern standards, and at 1080p the CPU has ample headroom. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1920x1080 only reduces the average from 234 FPS to 114 FPS, which suggests the GPU is still the primary limiter even at this resolution, since the CPU would not bottleneck at these frame rates given its benchmark scores.

At 2560x1440, the GPU load increases as expected. The Ultra preset average drops to 82 FPS from 114 FPS at 1080p, while Low drops from 234 to 172 FPS. This resolution scaling indicates that the Arc B570 remains the dominant factor, as the Ryzen 5 3600's single-thread performance, reflected in its 3DMark single-thread score of 696 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2124, is more than sufficient for this game's logic and physics.

At 3840x2160, the GPU bottleneck becomes more pronounced. The Ultra preset falls to 52 FPS, and High to 54 FPS, while Medium stays at 87 FPS and Low at 108 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 21 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 33 FPS. This non-linear scaling suggests that certain settings within the High preset introduce a significant GPU cost, which matters more at 4K where pixel throughput demands are highest.

The recorded data indicates that the CPU contributes little to the frame rate differences between presets. The Ryzen 5 3600's multicore strength, shown in its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15045 and PassMark multithread score of 17700, is far beyond what Inside requires. The Arc B570, with its 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, is the component that determines whether each preset stays playable.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 87 FPS and a recorded minimum of 74 FPS. This gives a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. High and Ultra both fall below 60 FPS, at 54 and 52 FPS respectively, so they are not recommended at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, every preset clears 60 FPS. The most demanding option, Ultra, runs at an average of 82 FPS. This is the best choice for maximum visual quality while maintaining smooth gameplay. Medium sits at 138 FPS for those who prefer higher refresh rates, but Ultra is the ceiling that still meets the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 114 FPS average, which is the highest preset available and well above 60 FPS. There is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution for playability purposes, though the Low preset at 234 FPS would suit extremely high refresh rate displays.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Inside, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with Intel Arc B570 ranks 3042 out of 3716 combos. This places it in the lower portion of the overall distribution, at roughly the 18th percentile of tested systems. The rank reflects the entire combo's standing against all other CPU and GPU pairings in the database, not just those with similar hardware.

This ranking might seem surprising given the strong frame rates recorded, but Inside is a lightweight puzzle platformer from 2016, and many tested combos include far more powerful components. The rank of 3042 out of 3716 indicates that most other configurations in the database achieve higher average performance in this title. However, the practical takeaway from the measured FPS data is more relevant than the raw rank: this combo runs the game smoothly at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with Medium settings.

FAQ

A: At 1920x1080, Low averages 234 FPS on Low settings, while Ultra averages 114 FPS. Low is exactly 120% of the Ultra average, meaning Low runs at double the frame rate of Ultra.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Inside at 1920x1080 with all presets at or above 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 114 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 82 FPS and remains the best choice for visual quality. At 3840x2160, the system handles Low at 108 FPS and Medium at 87 FPS, but High, at 54 FPS, and Ultra, at 52 FPS, do not clear the 60 FPS threshold.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1920x1080 supports High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with Ultra at 114 FPS. 2560x1440 also supports all four presets, with Ultra at 82 FPS. 3840x2160 only supports Low and Medium, with Medium at 87 FPS as the best playable setting.

For users with a 4K display, the recommendation is to use Medium settings, which deliver an average of 87 FPS and a minimum of 74 FPS. For 1440p and 1080p displays, Ultra settings are fully playable with averages of 82 and 114 FPS respectively. The Ryzen 5 3600 and Arc B570 combination is more than adequate for Inside at standard resolutions, and only at 4K with high or ultra presets does it fall short of the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Arc B570, based on average benchmark scores, include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20534 against the Arc B570's 20556, a 0.1% difference. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% lower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% higher. Any of these GPUs paired with a similar CPU would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, since the differences are within half a percent.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 3600's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-1260P at 17007, 0.2% lower than the Ryzen's 17035 average score. The Intel Core i5-11400 scores 17067, 0.2% higher. The AMD EPYC 7573X scores 17070, 0.2% higher, and the AMD EPYC 7742 scores 16998, 0.2% lower. These four CPUs are statistically equivalent in average benchmark performance, so swapping any of them into this system would not meaningfully change the measured FPS for Inside.

The practical implication is that a system with the Ryzen 5 3600 and any of these four rival GPUs, or a system with the Arc B570 and any of these four rival CPUs, would behave almost identically in this game. The small delta percentages, all under 1%, mean the user experience would be indistinguishable in terms of average frame rates. The only differences of note would come from other system characteristics not reflected in these scores, but for Inside specifically, the performance envelope is essentially the same across this cluster of hardware.
