Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Inside with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER shows a game that runs exceptionally well across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the lowest average frame rate recorded is 147.3 FPS at Ultra settings, which is already more than double the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Low preset reaches 280.9 FPS average, while Medium sits at 248.2 FPS and High at 157.6 FPS. There are no minimum or maximum frame rate values recorded in the database for this configuration, so the analysis relies entirely on average FPS figures.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern remains strong but the performance scaling shows the expected impact of higher pixel counts. Low settings produce 221.1 FPS average, Medium drops to 178.7 FPS, High delivers 108.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 106.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is roughly 115 FPS, indicating that the graphics settings have a substantial effect on the frame rate. Even at the most demanding preset, the average stays well above 100 FPS, leaving considerable headroom for frame pacing fluctuations or background tasks.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2070 SUPER begins to feel more load, but the results remain impressive for a puzzle platformer. Low settings hit 140.3 FPS average, Medium drops to 115.1 FPS, High achieves 72.7 FPS, and Ultra produces 66.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration in the entire dataset that falls below 70 FPS, yet it still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin. The scaling from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a reduction of about 39.6 FPS, which represents a 37% performance loss when moving to 4K. Across all resolutions, the game never dips below the playable threshold, making this combination a very safe choice for Inside.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this system each have nearby hardware that would produce very similar results. For the AMD Ryzen 5 5500, the database lists four nearest rivals based on average benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 scores 19617, which is 0.1% higher than the Ryzen 5 5500's 19593 average. The Intel Core i5-12500 comes in at 19668, a 0.4% advantage. The Intel Core i7-10700F scores 19499, putting it 0.5% behind. The Intel Core i5-11600KF leads the group with 19723, a 0.7% edge. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning any of these processors would deliver virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Inside, where the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at most settings.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480, which is 1% faster, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 (1.2% faster), the Intel Arc B570 at 20556 (1.3% faster), and the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 (1.5% faster). While these GPUs show slightly higher raw scores, the differences are minor. In a game like Inside, where the RTX 2070 SUPER already produces 66.7 FPS at 4K Ultra, swapping to any of these alternatives would not meaningfully change the playability verdict. The percentile rankings place the CPU at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs and the GPU at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, so both components sit in the upper-middle tier of the database.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all settings, with Low at 280.9 FPS and Medium at 248.2 FPS. These numbers suggest that the GPU is not heavily taxed at this resolution, and the CPU is capable of feeding frames at a very high rate. The drop from Medium to High at 1080p is significant, going from 248.2 FPS to 157.6 FPS, which indicates that the higher preset introduces graphical effects that increase GPU load substantially. Ultra further reduces the average to 147.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is about 133.6 FPS, showing that settings have a large impact on performance.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low produces 221.1 FPS, Medium 178.7 FPS, High 108.4 FPS, and Ultra 106.3 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is only 2.1 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset adds minimal extra GPU work beyond High at this resolution. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is about 114.8 FPS, slightly smaller than at 1080p, which points to the GPU becoming a more significant factor as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant component. Low settings produce 140.3 FPS, Medium 115.1 FPS, High 72.7 FPS, and Ultra 66.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 73.6 FPS, which is the smallest absolute gap across all resolutions. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is working near its limits, and the CPU has plenty of headroom. The scaling from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a reduction from 147.3 FPS to 66.7 FPS, a drop of 80.6 FPS, which is a 55% performance loss. This steep decline confirms that resolution scaling heavily taxes the GPU, while the CPU role diminishes at higher pixel counts. For Inside, the data shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, but the Ryzen 5 5500 provides sufficient CPU performance at all resolutions and settings.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Inside has a clear answer based on the measured data: yes, at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdictByResolution data lists all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the lowest average frame rate recorded across the entire dataset is 66.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. This means that even the most demanding configuration tested stays 6.7 FPS above the minimum playability line.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 147.3 FPS average, which is more than double the threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra produces 106.3 FPS average, still well above 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra achieves 66.7 FPS average, clearing the threshold with a modest but sufficient margin. For gamers who prefer high refresh rate monitors, the 1080p and 1440p results are particularly strong, with Low and Medium presets exceeding 200 FPS at 1080p and exceeding 170 FPS at 1440p. The 4K High preset at 72.7 FPS and 4K Ultra at 66.7 FPS are both viable for standard 60 Hz displays, though users targeting 120 Hz at 4K would need to drop to Medium settings, which produce 115.1 FPS. Overall, this combination delivers a smooth experience across the board, with no configuration falling below the playable threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the database identifies the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and in every case, that is the Ultra preset. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings run at 147.3 FPS average, which is the best visual quality available while still delivering a frame rate nearly two and a half times the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra produces 106.3 FPS average, offering excellent visual fidelity with plenty of headroom above 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra achieves 66.7 FPS average, which is the only configuration that comes close to the threshold, but it still clears it comfortably.

The data shows that there is no reason to compromise on settings at 1080p or 1440p, since Ultra remains far above 60 FPS. At 4K, Ultra is still playable, but the margin is narrower. Users who prefer a higher frame rate at 4K could choose High settings at 72.7 FPS or Medium at 115.1 FPS, depending on whether they prioritize visual fidelity or smoothness. The best settings per resolution, as defined by the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS, are therefore Ultra at all three resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2205 out of 3716 tested combos in the database for Inside. This places the system in the 59th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 41% of tested combos perform better and 59% perform worse. Given that Inside is a puzzle platformer with relatively modest graphical demands, this ranking reflects the fact that many higher-end systems achieve even higher frame rates, but the absolute performance of this combo is already far beyond what the game requires.

The rank is influenced by both the CPU and GPU positions in their respective benchmark distributions. The CPU sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs, which is a strong showing for a mid-range processor. The GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, which is also respectable for an older generation card. The combination of these two components results in a system that outperforms the majority of tested configurations, even though it does not reach the top tier. For a game like Inside, the practical impact of the rank is minimal, since the combo already delivers playable frame rates at every resolution and preset. The rank would matter more in demanding AAA titles where the GPU is pushed closer to its limits, but for this game, the system provides a smooth experience regardless of its relative standing.
