CPU and GPU Roles

The data for Inside reveals a clear pattern where the GPU acts as the primary constraint, while the CPU remains largely underutilized. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a six-core, twelve-thread processor with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its benchmark scores are substantial: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309, a single-core score of 2584, and a Geekbench multi-core score of 9158. This places the CPU in the 74th percentile of all CPUs, which is a strong position for a desktop processor.

The Intel Arc B390, on the other hand, is a mobile-class integrated GPU based on the Xe3-LPG architecture with 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output units. Its only recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, yields a score of 1482, which lands it in the 9th percentile among all GPUs. The disparity between the CPU's 74th percentile and the GPU's 9th percentile is stark, and the FPS measurements confirm that the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution.

Examining resolution scaling, the game's demands shift noticeably. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 156 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops that to 112 FPS, a reduction of 44 FPS. At 3840x2160 at Low, the average falls further to 70 FPS, another 42 FPS drop. This scaling suggests that the GPU is hitting its throughput limits as pixel count increases, while the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames.

At Medium settings, the trend continues with 125 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p, and 56 FPS at 4K. The jump from 1440p to 4K at Medium cuts performance by 34 FPS, which is more severe than the 35 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p. This indicates that the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity become increasingly strained at higher resolutions, particularly as preset complexity adds more visual effects.

The CPU's role appears minimal in this title. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU has the least work, the average FPS reaches 156, but the CPU's single-thread score of 882 in 3DMark and 3256 in PassMark single-thread suggest it can handle the game's logic without bottlenecking. The fact that Ultra at 1080p still yields 74 FPS, while Ultra at 4K drops to 34 FPS, reinforces that resolution, not CPU workload, drives the performance variance. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, the rendering load is modest, and the recorded data shows the GPU is the decisive component across all tested configurations.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the AMD Ryzen 5 5600, the database places four near-identical performers in terms of average benchmark score. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20454, a delta of 0.1% from the Ryzen's 20468 average. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425 with a 0.2% delta, followed by the AMD EPYC 9454P at 20422 with the same 0.2% delta, and the AMD EPYC 7713 at 20363 with a 0.5% delta. These CPUs would produce effectively indistinguishable frame rates in Inside, as the game is not CPU-bound in this configuration.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B390's nearest rivals are all older NVIDIA parts with extremely small score differences. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, a 1.3% delta from the Arc B390's 1482. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460 with a 1.5% delta, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446 with a 2.5% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443 with a 2.7% delta. These deltas are all under 3%, meaning any of these GPUs would deliver similar average FPS in Inside at the same settings and resolutions.

In practical terms, a system pairing the Ryzen 5 5600 with any of these rival GPUs would behave nearly identically, with frame rate differences of only a few FPS at most. The CPU's headroom means that swapping among the four rival CPUs would not change the playable settings list; the GPU would still cap performance. Conversely, pairing the Arc B390 with a weaker CPU might introduce a bottleneck at 1080p Low, but the current combination shows no such limitation in the recorded data.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers the core question directly: this PC can run Inside at 60 FPS or higher, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, all four settings, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, clear the 60 FPS threshold. The best setting at this resolution is Ultra with an average of 74 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low and Medium both exceed 60 FPS, with Medium as the best playable option at 90 FPS average. High at 1440p falls to 56 FPS, and Ultra drops to 53 FPS, both below the threshold.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings achieve playable performance with an average of 70 FPS. Medium at 4K averages 56 FPS, while High and Ultra average 35 and 34 FPS respectively, all below the 60 FPS line. The verdictByResolution data confirms these findings: 1080p supports all presets, 1440p supports two presets, and 4K supports only one. For players who prioritize smooth motion, the safe choices are 1080p Ultra, 1440p Medium, or 4K Low. The game is a 2D puzzle platformer from 2016, so the modest GPU demands align with the measured results, but the Arc B390's low percentile ranking means higher resolutions require compromises.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete FPS measurements are recorded in the database with averages for every resolution and preset, plus minimum and maximum values for Medium settings at each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low averages 156 FPS, Medium averages 125 FPS with a minimum of 106 and a maximum of 144, High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 74 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 82 FPS, which shows a steep performance cost for higher visual fidelity. The minimum at Medium, 106 FPS, still sits well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating consistent frame delivery without severe dips.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 112 FPS, Medium averages 90 FPS with a minimum of 76 and a maximum of 103, High averages 56 FPS, and Ultra averages 53 FPS. The Medium minimum of 76 FPS remains comfortably playable, but High and Ultra fall below the threshold. The gap between Low and Medium is 22 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 34 FPS, suggesting that High introduces a significant rendering cost.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 70 FPS, Medium averages 56 FPS with a minimum of 48 and a maximum of 65, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The Medium minimum of 48 FPS dips below the 60 FPS threshold, making it an inconsistent experience despite the 56 FPS average. High and Ultra are effectively tied at 35 and 34 FPS, indicating that the GPU reaches a hard limit at 4K regardless of preset. The average FPS at 4K Low, 70, is just barely above the threshold, so players seeking a stable 60 FPS might prefer 1440p Medium for the higher minimum frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and Intel Arc B390 at 3296 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This places the combo in the 11th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 89% of tested configurations perform better in this game. The ranking is driven almost entirely by the GPU's low benchmark percentile, as the CPU's 74th percentile would normally support higher performance if paired with a stronger graphics solution.

The rank of 3296 is a direct consequence of the Arc B390's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1482, which is near the bottom of the GPU benchmark distribution. In contrast, the Ryzen 5 5600's average benchmark score of 20468 is competitive with recent processors, but the GPU bottleneck prevents the CPU from demonstrating its full potential. For a game like Inside, which is not demanding by modern standards, the combo still manages to run at playable settings on 1080p and 1440p, but the ranking reflects that most other combinations would offer higher headroom.

The delta between the combo's rank and the total tested count, 420 positions from the bottom, shows that there are some configurations slower than this one, but they are a small minority. Players with this hardware should focus on the settings recommendations rather than the rank, since the measured FPS data provides a clearer picture of what to expect in practice.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database's verdictByResolution data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS at each resolution. At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Low with an average of 70 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that clears the threshold, and the 70 FPS average provides a modest margin above the 60 FPS line.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is Medium with an average of 90 FPS. The Medium preset delivers a 76 FPS minimum in the recorded data, which means even the worst-case frame time stays above the threshold. This is the recommended balance of visual quality and performance at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best playable setting is Ultra with an average of 74 FPS. All presets at 1080p exceed 60 FPS, so players can select Ultra for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. The 74 FPS average at Ultra is only 4 FPS lower than High's 78 FPS, so the upgrade from High to Ultra costs very little in performance while offering the full visual experience.

For players who want the highest frame rates, 1080p Low delivers 156 FPS, and 1440p Low delivers 112 FPS, but the best settings per resolution prioritize visual quality while staying above the playable threshold. The data shows that Inside is perfectly playable on this hardware at 1080p with all settings maxed, and at 1440p with Medium settings, while 4K requires Low settings for a smooth experience.
