Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: This CPU and GPU pairing ranks 1408 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside. That places it in the upper portion of the database, though the specific percentile position depends on the full distribution of tested systems.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Inside reveals an interesting split between CPU and GPU responsibilities. As a puzzle platformer from 2016, the game is not particularly demanding on modern hardware. The measured frame rates show that the RTX 5090 is doing the heavy lifting, with the Ryzen 5 4600G providing enough single-thread performance to avoid bottlenecking at most settings.

Looking at the scaling between resolutions, the GPU load becomes more apparent at higher settings. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 243 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops to 217 FPS, and at 3840x2160 at Low it falls to 186 FPS. That represents a 23% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a further 14% reduction from 1440p to 4K. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where pixel throughput scales with resolution.

The preset scaling tells a similar story. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 45 FPS (186 down to 141), which is a 24% performance penalty for the highest quality settings. At 1440p, that spread narrows to 53 FPS (217 down to 164), and at 1080p it is 59 FPS (243 down to 184). The consistent pattern across resolutions indicates that the GPU is the primary performance driver, as the CPU's workload does not change significantly with resolution.

The Ryzen 5 4600G contributes with its 6 cores and 12 threads, and its Zen 2 architecture. The CPU's single-thread score in Cinebench R23 is 1919, and its multicore score is 13593. These are modest numbers by modern standards, but Inside is not a multithreaded-heavy title. The data suggests the CPU is sufficient at all tested resolutions, as there are no anomalies where frame rates collapse at lower resolutions due to CPU limitations.

For this game, the RTX 5090's raw power is excessive. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 32 GB of GDDR7 memory are far beyond what Inside requires. The benchmark results reflect this: even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains 141 FPS. At 1080p Low, the 243 FPS result is likely near the engine's practical ceiling rather than a true hardware limit.

The CPU's role becomes more relevant when considering the 1% lows, though the data only provides minimum FPS for Medium presets. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 146 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it is 171 FPS; and at 1080p Medium, it is 190 FPS. These minimums are all comfortably above 60 FPS, indicating no CPU-related stutter or frame pacing issues.

In summary, the RTX 5090 dominates performance in Inside, while the Ryzen 5 4600G provides adequate support. Users would see nearly identical frame rates with a stronger CPU, but the current pairing is well balanced for this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers an average of 141 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available, and it still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. The High preset runs at 143 FPS, Medium at 172 FPS, and Low at 186 FPS. Since Ultra is both the highest quality and comfortably above 60 FPS, there is no reason to drop to lower presets at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the recommended setting, with an average of 164 FPS. High runs at 167 FPS, Medium at 201 FPS, and Low at 217 FPS. The Ultra preset provides the best visual quality while maintaining a 164 FPS average, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay on high refresh rate displays.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 184 FPS on average. High runs at 187 FPS, Medium at 224 FPS, and Low at 243 FPS. The 184 FPS at Ultra is the highest quality option and remains well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. For competitive play or maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 243 FPS would be the choice, but for visual fidelity, Ultra is the clear recommendation.

The verdict data confirms all three resolutions are fully playable at every preset. The best settings per resolution are Ultra across the board: 141 FPS at 4K, 164 FPS at 1440p, and 184 FPS at 1080p. The minimum FPS data for Medium presets shows no dips below 146 FPS at any resolution, reinforcing that this combo never struggles with Inside.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 1408 out of 3716 tested combos in the database for Inside. This places the pairing in the 62nd percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 62% of tested configurations are slower and 38% are faster.

This ranking is heavily influenced by the CPU. The RTX 5090 is a top-tier GPU, sitting in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs. However, the Ryzen 5 4600G only reaches the 71st percentile among CPUs. When paired together, the weaker CPU drags the overall combo ranking down despite the GPU's enormous capability.

In practical terms, this ranking means the system is more than capable of running Inside at maximum settings, but it would not be the fastest possible configuration. Many combos with stronger CPUs and mid-range GPUs would likely rank higher in this specific game, because Inside is not GPU-intensive enough to fully utilize the RTX 5090's power.

The combo's position in the database suggests that users with this pairing will have headroom for future, more demanding titles. For Inside specifically, the performance exceeds what the game requires, and the ranking reflects the CPU's relative weakness rather than any GPU inadequacy.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are closely matched in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 0.1% higher than the Ryzen 5 4600G, making it effectively identical in performance. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 0.6% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 0.6% lower. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 0.8% lower. Any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Inside, as the game's CPU demands are modest.

For the GPU, the RTX 5090's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, which scores 0.3% lower, and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB, which scores 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT trails by 1.1%, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X leads by 1.4%. These alternatives would produce very similar results in Inside, though the Tesla P100 cards are workstation-oriented products without consumer display outputs.

Users considering this combo should know that swapping the Ryzen 5 4600G for any of its nearest rivals would change frame rates by less than 1% in synthetic benchmarks. Likewise, swapping the RTX 5090 for a Tesla P100 or Radeon RX 6850M XT would have minimal impact on Inside's performance. The game is so lightweight that any of these alternatives would still easily exceed 60 FPS at all settings.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside. The verdict data shows that all three tested resolutions, 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, are playable at every preset from Low through Ultra. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average frame rates of 184 FPS at 1080p, 164 FPS at 1440p, and 141 FPS at 4K.

The 60 FPS threshold is cleared by a substantial margin in every scenario. Even the most demanding configuration, 4K Ultra, delivers 141 FPS, which is more than double the playable threshold. The lowest recorded minimum FPS across all Medium presets is 146 FPS at 4K, still well above 60.

The Ryzen 5 4600G provides sufficient CPU performance for this game, and the RTX 5090's massive GPU resources are more than enough. The combo ranks 1408 out of 3716 tested systems, but that ranking reflects the CPU's mid-range position rather than any inability to run the game well. For Inside, this system is overqualified at every resolution and preset. Users can enable Ultra settings at any resolution and expect buttery-smooth frame rates with no risk of dropping below 60 FPS.
