How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2983 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places the system in a mid-tier position among all possible pairings, but the percentile rank alone does not capture the full experience. The data reveals that this rank is more a reflection of the sheer number of high-end combinations in the database than a limitation of this hardware for this specific title.

The combo's performance is heavily dictated by the GPU, which sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. The CPU, meanwhile, performs in the 74th percentile of all CPUs. This means the Arc B570 is a solidly mid-range performer, but the Ryzen 5 5600 is a stronger component relative to its peers. The pairing works well for Inside because this is a game that benefits from high single-thread performance, which the Ryzen 5 5600 provides with a single-thread benchmark score of 882 in 3dmark and 3256 in Passmark.

The ranking of 2983 out of 3716 means roughly 80% of tested combos rank higher, but most of those are likely configured with much more powerful (and expensive) GPUs. For a mid-range setup, the actual measured FPS demonstrates that the combo is far more capable than the raw rank suggests. The system achieves an average of 192 FPS at 1080p Medium, which is over triple the playable threshold. Even at 4K Medium, the average FPS of 87 is comfortably above 60. The rank is therefore a useful global metric, but the resolution-specific data provides a far more actionable picture for gameplay.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes less relevant as resolution increases. This is typical behavior, and the measured FPS scaling confirms it.

At 1920x1080, the system is heavily CPU-bound at lower presets. The Low preset hits 240 FPS, which is likely a frame rate cap or a point where the CPU cannot push further. The Medium preset averages 192 FPS, and the High preset averages 120 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium (240 to 192 FPS) is a 20% drop, while from Medium to High (192 to 120 FPS) is a 37.5% drop. This scaling suggests that the CPU is capable of pushing very high frame rates, but the GPU starts to become the limiting factor as settings increase.

At 2560x1440, the GPU role becomes more prominent. The Low preset averages 172 FPS, which is still very high but lower than at 1080p. The Medium preset averages 138 FPS, and the High preset averages 86 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 82 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 19.8% drop (172 to 138), similar to the 1080p pattern. However, the drop from Medium to High is 37.7% (138 to 86), which is a larger relative decline, indicating the GPU is working harder.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The Low preset averages 108 FPS, which is a 37.5% drop from the 1440p Low result (172 to 108). The Medium preset averages 87 FPS, and the High preset drops to 54 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 52 FPS. The scaling here is steep: from Medium to High (87 to 54) is a 37.9% drop, and from High to Ultra (54 to 52) is a mere 3.7% drop. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are fully saturated, and the CPU plays almost no role in limiting performance.

The takeaway is that for 1080p and 1440p, the Ryzen 5 5600 is more than sufficient, and the Arc B570 is the component that determines the final frame rate at higher presets. At 4K, the GPU is the sole limiting factor, and users must lower settings to maintain 60 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can definitively run Inside. The benchmark results show playable performance at every resolution, provided the settings are chosen correctly.

At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 114 FPS, which is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold. This is the best experience, as it offers the highest visual quality without any compromise on smoothness.

At 2560x1440, all four presets also remain playable. The Ultra preset averages 82 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the optimal resolution for this combo, as it balances visual fidelity with high frame rates.

At 3840x2160, only the Low and Medium presets are playable. The Low preset averages 108 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 87 FPS. The High and Ultra presets fall to 54 and 52 FPS respectively, which are below the 60 FPS playable threshold. For 4K, users should stick to Medium settings to ensure a smooth experience.

The verdict is clear: this system is more than capable of running Inside at high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K, it requires a modest settings reduction to maintain playability, but the fact that it can hit 87 FPS at Medium 4K is a strong result for a mid-range GPU.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 has an average benchmark score of 20468. Its nearest rivals in terms of overall synthetic performance are:

• Intel Core Ultra 7 258V: Scores 20454, a delta of just 0.1% — effectively identical performance in synthetic tests.
• AMD Ryzen 5 8500G: Scores 20425, a delta of 0.2% — slightly lower, but negligible in real-world gaming.
• AMD EPYC 9454P: Scores 20422, a delta of 0.2% — again, virtually identical.
• AMD EPYC 7713: Scores 20363, a delta of 0.5% — the closest in relative terms, but still within half a percent.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570 has an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals are:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile: Scores 20534, a delta of 0.1% — this is the closest match, suggesting the B570 performs like a mobile RTX 3070 in synthetic tests.
• Intel Arc A750: Scores 20582, a delta of -0.1% — the B570 is slightly behind its predecessor, but the difference is within 0.1%.
• NVIDIA Quadro M4000M: Scores 20480, a delta of 0.4% — a workstation GPU that happens to land nearby.
• AMD Radeon R9 M390X: Scores 20662, a delta of -0.5% — the B570 is slightly behind this older mobile GPU, but the delta is small.

In gaming scenarios for Inside, any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates. The CPU differences of less than 1% would have no measurable impact on the game's performance, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU is the bottleneck. Similarly, the GPU alternatives would yield FPS numbers within a few frames of the measured values, meaning users with these components can expect a similar experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

The goal is to find the most demanding preset that still maintains an average FPS at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

• 1920x1080: The Ultra preset is the most demanding and it averages 114 FPS. This is the best setting to use, as it provides the highest visual quality while maintaining a frame rate nearly double the threshold.
• 2560x1440: The Ultra preset averages 82 FPS, which is also above 60. This is the best setting at this resolution, offering full visual fidelity with a comfortable margin above the playable threshold.
• 3840x2160: The Medium preset averages 87 FPS. The High preset drops to 54 FPS, which is below the threshold. Therefore, Medium is the best setting at 4K, as it is the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS.

The data clearly shows that the system is most comfortable at 1080p and 1440p, where it can run the maximum preset without issue. At 4K, it must sacrifice one tier of settings to remain playable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following is the exact measured FPS data for each resolution and settings combination.

3840x2160:

• Low: Average 108 FPS.
• Medium: Average 87 FPS, with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS.
• High: Average 54 FPS.
• Ultra: Average 52 FPS.

2560x1440:

• Low: Average 172 FPS.
• Medium: Average 138 FPS, with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS.
• High: Average 86 FPS.
• Ultra: Average 82 FPS.

1920x1080:

• Low: Average 240 FPS.
• Medium: Average 192 FPS, with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 221 FPS.
• High: Average 120 FPS.
• Ultra: Average 114 FPS.

The minimum FPS data is only provided for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 74 FPS is still well above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 117 FPS is more than double the threshold. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 163 FPS is nearly triple the threshold. The lack of min/max data for other presets suggests that the frame pacing is consistent enough that only the average was recorded, but the available data indicates no significant drops below the playable threshold at any of the recommended settings.
