Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data for Inside with the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 shows a game that is thoroughly playable across every tested configuration. The recorded measurements span three resolutions and four quality presets, producing a grid of twelve average FPS values. Notably, the database does not include minimum or maximum frame data for this combination, so the analysis relies on average frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high. The Low preset delivers 244.5 FPS, Medium reaches 225.6 FPS, High hits 174.5 FPS, and Ultra drops slightly to 168.5 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 76 FPS, which indicates that the game is heavily GPU-bound at this resolution but still leaves massive headroom even at the highest settings. None of these values approach the 60 FPS threshold; they are all more than double that mark.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain robust but show a clearer scaling pattern. Low produces 219 FPS, Medium delivers 199.5 FPS, High achieves 125 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 120.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 98.4 FPS, a larger absolute difference than at 1080p, which reflects the increased pixel load on the GPU. Even the Ultra preset maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, with nearly double the required frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the demands of 4K become evident. Low still produces 156.9 FPS, and Medium manages 129.5 FPS. High falls to 83 FPS, while Ultra reaches 74.6 FPS. These numbers show that even at 4K, the combination never dips below 60 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 82.3 FPS, and the scaling from Medium to High is particularly steep, a 46.5 FPS drop. This suggests that the High preset introduces significantly more rendering work than Medium.

Across all resolutions, the Ultra preset remains above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The lowest recorded average in the entire dataset is 74.6 FPS at 4K Ultra, which still provides a 14.6 FPS cushion over the minimum playable threshold. The data shows a consistent pattern: resolution scaling has a predictable impact, with 4K costing roughly 40-50% of the frame rate compared to 1080p at equivalent settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 5 4600G and the RTX 5060 becomes clear when examining the scaling behavior across resolutions and presets. Inside is a puzzle platformer with modest visual complexity, and the benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU has sufficient headroom to avoid limiting performance.

Comparing the same preset across resolutions reveals the GPU's role. At Ultra settings, the progression from 1080p to 1440p to 4K is 168.5, 120.6, and 74.6 FPS respectively. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 47.9 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is another 46 FPS. This near-linear scaling with pixel count is a classic sign of GPU-bound rendering. The RTX 5060 is doing the heavy lifting, and its performance scales predictably as the resolution increases.

The Low preset shows a similar but less pronounced pattern: 244.5 FPS at 1080p, 219 FPS at 1440p, and 156.9 FPS at 4K. The relative drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 87.6 FPS, which is a smaller percentage reduction than at Ultra. This indicates that at lower settings, the CPU begins to play a larger relative role, though the Ryzen 5 4600G still keeps pace without becoming a limiting factor.

The Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 13593 and a single-core result of 1919, place it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs. For a game like Inside, which is not known for extreme thread utilization, this processor provides ample compute capacity. The fact that frame rates at 1080p Low exceed 240 FPS suggests that the CPU is not a constraint at that resolution.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The RTX 5060, with its 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, is the component that determines the frame rate ceilings. The scaling between presets at 4K is steep: Low to Medium is a 27.4 FPS drop, Medium to High is a 46.5 FPS drop, and High to Ultra is an 8.4 FPS drop. This pattern indicates that the High preset is where the GPU begins to feel the resolution pressure, but even then, the result stays above 60 FPS.

The CPU's role is more apparent when comparing the same resolution across different presets. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 76 FPS, which is substantial but not indicative of CPU limiting. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the frame rates to plateau regardless of preset. Instead, the numbers scale with GPU workload, confirming that the RTX 5060 is the primary performance driver.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 5060 at position 1996 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the 46th percentile of all recorded configurations, which is a moderate ranking. The rank reflects the fact that while the RTX 5060 is a capable GPU, the Ryzen 5 4600G is a mid-range processor from the 2020 era, and the combination does not reach the top tiers of the database.

The percentile data for the individual components helps contextualize this ranking. The CPU sits in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. Both components are above average, but neither is a top-tier performer. The combined rank of 1996 out of 3716 indicates that many other combos, likely pairing higher-end CPUs with similar or better GPUs, achieve higher frame rates in this title.

It is important to note that the ranking does not imply poor performance. The measured FPS data shows that this combo exceeds 60 FPS at every resolution and preset tested. The rank is relative to other combinations in the database, and the absolute performance is what matters for playability. A rank in the middle of the pack still corresponds to a very playable experience for Inside.

The nearest rivals for the CPU, which include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, Intel Core 7 150U, and Intel Core i3-14100T, all have average benchmark scores within 0.8% of the Ryzen 5 4600G. This indicates that the CPU's performance is closely matched by several other mid-range processors, and swapping to any of these would result in nearly identical frame rates in a GPU-bound game like Inside.

The differences are small enough to be within measurement variance, and the overall experience would be indistinguishable in terms of playability. All of these combinations would comfortably exceed the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset tested.

It is importantly the CPU rivals are all lower-end or newer budget processors, which reinforces that the Ryzen 5 4600G is positioned as a mid-range part. The GPU rivals include both integrated graphics (the Radeon 860M) and older discrete cards, which suggests that the RTX 5060's performance level is accessible across a range of hardware generations.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice. It delivers 168.5 FPS, which is the highest quality configuration while maintaining a massive margin above the 60 FPS threshold. There is no reason to select a lower preset at this resolution, as even Ultra leaves more than 100 FPS of headroom.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again provides the best visual quality with 120.6 FPS. This is still more than double the playability threshold, so the GPU has plenty of capacity for the increased pixel load. The Medium preset at 199.5 FPS would be an option for users with high refresh rate monitors, but for standard 60 Hz displays, Ultra is the optimal balance of quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset delivers 74.6 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding configuration tested, and it still clears the playability bar by 14.6 FPS. For users who prefer a higher refresh rate at 4K, the High preset at 83 FPS is a viable alternative, but Ultra provides the maximum visual fidelity without dropping below 60 FPS.

The data shows that this combination never requires a compromise below the highest quality settings. At every resolution, the Ultra preset is playable, which makes the settings decision simple: use Ultra for the best experience. The only consideration is whether a user prioritizes raw frame rate over visual quality, in which case the Medium or High presets offer higher FPS at the cost of some graphical detail.

The Verdict

The verdict is straightforward: this PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all three resolutions, 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, have all four presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) listed as playable. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average FPS of 168.5 at 1080p, 120.6 at 1440p, and 74.6 at 4K.

The lowest recorded frame rate in the entire dataset is 74.6 FPS at 4K Ultra, which means there is no scenario where this combination drops below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The RTX 5060 provides ample graphics horsepower, and the Ryzen 5 4600G keeps up without introducing CPU-bound frame rate dips.

For a game like Inside, which is a puzzle platformer with a slower pace and fixed camera angles, even the 4K Ultra result of 74.6 FPS would provide a smooth and responsive experience. The high frame rates at lower resolutions, such as 244.5 FPS at 1080p Low, indicate that the system has substantial headroom for future titles or for running the game with additional background tasks.

The combination ranks 1996 out of 3716 tested combos, which is a middle-of-the-pack result, but the absolute performance is what matters for this specific game. The data shows that users can enable the highest quality settings at any resolution and enjoy the game without performance concerns. This is a definitive pass for Inside.
