Inside

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G sits in a tightly contested mid-range CPU segment. Its average benchmark score of 17507 places it within a 1% performance band of several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, a delta of just 0.1% behind, meaning in practical terms these two processors are interchangeable for gaming workloads. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, trailing by 0.6%, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE and Intel Core i3-14100T are marginally ahead at 17614 and 17648 respectively, representing deltas of -0.6% and -0.8% when compared against the 4600G. In short, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in Inside, and the choice between them should be made on platform features, not raw performance.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 posts an average benchmark score of 17639, ranking in the 61st percentile among all tested graphics cards. Its nearest rivals are a curious mix of older discrete cards and modern integrated graphics. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, just 0.2% higher, a negligible margin that would not translate into a visible difference at any resolution. The AMD Radeon 780M integrated solution scores 17588, trailing by 0.3%, which is remarkable given that the 780M is an iGPU rather than a dedicated card. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460 score 17551 and 17509 respectively, representing 0.5% and 0.7% gaps. For Inside, which is not a demanding title by modern standards, any of these GPUs would produce similar framerates, though the RTX 4060's additional modern features (DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4) may matter for other games.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured data for Inside shows a game that is far more sensitive to GPU load than CPU throughput, but the scaling patterns reveal where each component matters. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 239.4 FPS. Moving to Medium drops this to 226.7 FPS, a 5.3% reduction. High settings yield 165.8 FPS, a 26.9% drop from Low, and Ultra produces 159.5 FPS, which is 33.4% below the Low preset. This steep decline with each preset tier indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck as visual complexity increases, even at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the pattern intensifies. Low settings produce 216.9 FPS, Medium 192 FPS, High 122.7 FPS, and Ultra 114.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 47.2%, larger than the 33.4% gap at 1080p. This widening spread confirms that higher resolutions amplify the GPU's workload disproportionately, while the CPU's role remains relatively static.

At 3840x2160, the GPU strain becomes even more evident. Low settings still manage 149.5 FPS, but Medium drops to 123.2 FPS, High to 75.1 FPS, and Ultra to 72.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is just 48.2% of the Low preset's framerate. Throughout all resolutions, the CPU's contribution appears constant: the Ryzen 5 4600G with its 6 cores and 12 threads is never the limiting factor, as evidenced by the fact that even at 4K Ultra the system stays well above 60 FPS. The data indicates that Inside relies overwhelmingly on GPU fill rate and shader throughput, and the RTX 4060 handles the task with headroom to spare at every tested configuration.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded measurements cover three resolutions and four settings presets each, with average FPS values as the primary metric. No minimum or maximum frame times were captured, so the analysis relies on averages alone.

At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the system delivers its highest framerates. Low settings produce 239.4 FPS, which is close to the refresh ceiling of typical 240 Hz monitors. Medium settings follow at 226.7 FPS, a modest 5.3% reduction. High settings cut performance more substantially to 165.8 FPS, and Ultra settles at 159.5 FPS. Even at the most demanding preset, the system maintains a 159.5 FPS average, which is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptional. Low settings yield 216.9 FPS, Medium 192 FPS, High 122.7 FPS, and Ultra 114.6 FPS. The step from Medium to High is the largest single preset jump at this resolution, a 36.1% reduction, suggesting that High enables computationally expensive effects. Ultra adds only a small additional cost over High, dropping from 122.7 to 114.6 FPS, a 6.6% penalty.

At 3840x2160, the system still clears the playable threshold with room to spare. Low settings produce 149.5 FPS, which is surprising for 4K and indicates Inside's relatively light rendering load. Medium drops to 123.2 FPS, High to 75.1 FPS, and Ultra to 72.1 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is just 4.0%, meaning the Ultra preset's extra effects are cheap on this hardware. The overall spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 51.8%, the largest across all resolutions, reinforcing that 4K is where the GPU's limits begin to show, though still far from problematic.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3716 tested CPU and GPU combinations in the database, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 2189th for Inside. This places it in the 41st percentile of all tested combos, meaning roughly 41% of configurations perform better in this specific game. However, this ranking must be interpreted carefully: Inside is a light game, and the absolute framerates are extremely high across the board. The rank is pulled down by the CPU's mid-range standing (71st percentile among all CPUs) and the GPU's 61st percentile placement, not by any deficiency in actual gameplay performance.

The system's ranking relative to its component-level peers is more informative. Since both the CPU and GPU sit near the middle of their respective performance distributions, the combo lands in the lower-middle of the overall ranking. Yet the measured FPS at every resolution and preset exceeds 72 FPS, which is far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. In practical terms, this combo delivers a flawless Inside experience, and the rank reflects the fact that many higher-end configurations exist rather than any weakness in this one. For a game that maxes out at 239.4 FPS at 1080p Low, the difference between rank 2189 and, say, rank 500 would be imperceptible on most displays.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which produces an average of 159.5 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it delivers nearly triple the playable threshold. There is no reason to reduce quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also remain the best choice, with an average of 114.6 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS, and the visual upgrade over High (122.7 FPS) is minimal in performance cost, a difference of only 6.6%. Players with 144 Hz monitors should still consider Ultra, as 114.6 FPS exceeds the refresh rate of most 1440p panels.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings produce 72.1 FPS, which is the only configuration across all tested options that dips below 75 FPS. It still clears the 60 FPS threshold, so Ultra is technically playable. However, for those who prefer a larger headroom buffer, High settings at 75.1 FPS offer nearly identical performance with a 4.0% gain, while Medium jumps to 123.2 FPS. Given that the visual difference between High and Ultra at 4K is often subtle, players prioritizing smoothness on 60 Hz displays can safely use Ultra, while those targeting 120 Hz would need to drop to Low (149.5 FPS) or Medium (123.2 FPS). The database verdict confirms Ultra as the best setting at 4K, with a measured average of 72.1 FPS.
