Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. This combination is far beyond what the game requires, and the recorded data shows that every tested resolution and preset comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. The strongest performance comes at 1920x1080 with Low settings, hitting an average of 235.3 FPS, while even the most demanding configuration tested, 3840x2160 Ultra, maintains an average of 134.4 FPS. This analysis examines how this combo compares to nearby hardware, breaks down the measured FPS by resolution and settings, and provides clear recommendations for optimal play.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this system each have close competitors based on average benchmark scores in the database. For the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, the nearest rivals are all within a fraction of a percent in average score. The Intel Core i7-1260P scores 17,007, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen’s 17,035 average, a negligible difference. The Intel Core i5-11400 scores 17,067, also 0.2% lower than the Ryzen. The AMD EPYC 7573X scores 17,070, again 0.2% lower, while the AMD EPYC 7742 scores 16,998, 0.2% higher. These four alternatives are effectively interchangeable with the Ryzen 5 3600 in overall compute performance, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, which is not a CPU-heavy title.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 has an average benchmark score of 79,842. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB with a score of 79,605, which is 0.3% lower, and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB at 79,396, 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78,940, 1.1% lower, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X scores 80,959, which is 1.4% higher. These deltas are all small, so a system using any of these GPUs would deliver very similar performance in Inside. However, it is important to note that these rivals are not direct consumer gaming equivalents; they are professional or mobile parts. Still, the benchmark data indicates that the RTX 5090’s level of graphics throughput is matched within a narrow band by these alternatives. For Inside, which has modest graphical demands, the difference between the RTX 5090 and these rivals would be imperceptible in practice, as all would far exceed the 60 FPS threshold at any resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets each. At 3840x2160, the Low preset yields an average of 183 FPS, Medium yields 167.2 FPS, High yields 139.2 FPS, and Ultra yields 134.4 FPS. The progression shows that as settings increase, frame rates decrease, but even the lowest average (134.4 FPS at Ultra) is far above the 60 FPS threshold. No minimum or maximum FPS values were recorded for any of these configurations, so the averages stand alone.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves an average of 209.9 FPS, Medium achieves 192.5 FPS, High achieves 162.5 FPS, and Ultra achieves 158.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 51.5 FPS, which is notable, but all settings remain above 150 FPS. This resolution benefits from the RTX 5090’s raw power, and the Ryzen 5 3600 keeps up without issue.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces the highest average of all tested configurations at 235.3 FPS. Medium follows with 216.6 FPS, High with 180 FPS, and Ultra with 178.7 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is just 1.3 FPS, which is negligible. The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU is not fully stressed, as even Ultra settings leave a massive headroom above the 60 FPS target.

Across all resolutions, the trend is consistent: higher settings reduce frame rates, but the reductions are modest in absolute terms. For example, at 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 48.6 FPS, while at 1440p it is 51.5 FPS, and at 1080p it is 56.6 FPS. This suggests that the RTX 5090 has enough headroom to absorb the extra load from Ultra settings without dropping below playable levels. The lack of min and max FPS values means the database only captures average performance, but the averages are so high that variance is unlikely to cause any perceptible stutter.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Inside without any compromises. The verdict by resolution confirms that all three tested resolutions (3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080) have all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) listed as playable, meaning each average FPS is at or above 60. At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 134.4 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best, averaging 158.4 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra leads with 178.7 FPS. In every case, the average FPS is more than double the playable threshold, so the system delivers a smooth experience even in the most demanding preset. The RTX 5090, with its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance, is vastly overqualified for a game from 2016, but the data confirms that the Ryzen 5 3600 does not hold it back. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, are sufficient for this title. There is no scenario in the recorded data where frame rates approach 60 FPS, let alone fall below it.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database, this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 1,487 out of 3,716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the top 40% of all systems tested for this game. The rank is somewhat surprising given the extreme performance of the GPU, but it reflects the fact that Inside is not a demanding title, and many other combos also achieve high frame rates. The RTX 5090 itself ranks in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, and the Ryzen 5 3600 ranks in the 71st percentile among all CPUs. The combination of a top-tier GPU with a mid-range CPU from 2019 results in a system that performs very well, but the rank shows that the CPU may limit the overall score in some benchmarks. However, for Inside specifically, the measured FPS data shows no such limitation, as all frame rates are exceptionally high. This rank means that roughly 2,229 other combos perform better in the database’s aggregate scoring, but for this game, the actual playable experience is indistinguishable from those higher-ranked systems.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average FPS of 134.4. Since this is the highest preset available and it clears the threshold by a wide margin, it is the recommended setting. For 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, averaging 158.4 FPS. The margin above 60 FPS is even larger here, making Ultra the obvious pick. For 1920x1080, Ultra provides an average of 178.7 FPS, which is the highest of the three resolutions at this preset. In all cases, there is no reason to lower settings below Ultra, as the system maintains well over 60 FPS even at the highest visual quality. The data shows that the RTX 5090 has sufficient headroom to run Inside at maximum settings at any resolution, and the Ryzen 5 3600 does not introduce any frame rate drops. If a user prefers higher frame rates over visual fidelity, they could switch to Low settings, which yield 183 FPS at 4K, 209.9 FPS at 1440p, and 235.3 FPS at 1080p, but the average user would not notice a difference between these and Ultra given the game’s art style. The recorded measurements only include average FPS, so there is no data on frame time consistency, but the sheer magnitude of the averages suggests a stable experience. This system is unequivocally capable of running Inside at its best.
