Inside

Can AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER run Inside? The recorded data in our database shows that this combination handles the game with significant headroom across all tested resolutions. Inside is a puzzle platformer with modest graphical demands, and this pairing of a Zen 3 six-core processor with a Turing-based graphics card delivers average frame rates well above the 60 FPS playable threshold in every configuration tested. The benchmark results indicate that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the dominant factor in performance scaling, though the Ryzen 5 5600 provides ample processing headroom to avoid bottlenecking even at high frame rates. The data set includes measurements at three resolutions and four quality presets, offering a complete picture of expected performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination covers 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, each with Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. All recorded values are average FPS figures, with minimum and maximum frame rates not available in the data set. At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high across the board. The Low preset averages 282.4 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this combination. Medium settings produce an average of 224 FPS, High settings reach 141.5 FPS, and the most demanding Ultra preset still delivers 131.1 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 151.3 FPS, indicating that the graphics settings have a substantial impact on frame rate, but even the heaviest load remains far above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected impact of increased pixel count. The Low preset averages 203.9 FPS, a drop of 78.5 FPS compared to the same settings at 1080p. Medium settings average 162.2 FPS, High settings average 98.9 FPS, and Ultra settings average 96.2 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is only 2.7 FPS, suggesting that the transition between these two presets carries a relatively small performance cost. The Ultra preset at 1440p remains well above the playable threshold, with a recorded average of 96.2 FPS.

At 3840x2160, which is the most demanding resolution in the data set, the combination still clears the 60 FPS bar with every preset. The Low settings average 128 FPS, Medium settings average 100.3 FPS, and High settings average 65.6 FPS. The Ultra preset produces an average of 62.1 FPS, which is the lowest recorded value across the entire data set but still above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is notable: the High preset drops from 98.9 FPS to 65.6 FPS, a reduction of 33.3 FPS, while Ultra drops from 96.2 FPS to 62.1 FPS, a reduction of 34.1 FPS. This indicates that 4K resolution imposes a significant load on the GPU, but the RTX 2060 SUPER manages to maintain playable frame rates even under the heaviest tested configuration.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database determines the best settings by identifying the most demanding preset that stays at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold at each resolution. For this combination, the results are straightforward because every setting at every resolution meets the threshold. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 131.1. This is the highest quality preset available in the data set, and the recorded frame rate leaves substantial headroom above the playable threshold, meaning users can run the game at maximum quality without concern for performance dips.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average FPS of 96.2. The performance at this resolution is still far above the 60 FPS threshold, and the gap between Ultra and High is minimal at just 2.7 FPS. Users targeting 1440p can comfortably select the Ultra preset, as the data shows no need to compromise on visual quality to maintain smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the best settings remain Ultra, with an average FPS of 62.1. This is the closest the combination comes to the playable threshold, with only 2.1 FPS of headroom above 60 FPS. While the Ultra preset is technically playable at 4K according to the recorded data, the margin is slim. The High preset at this resolution averages 65.6 FPS, offering a slightly larger buffer with a relatively small visual compromise. For users who prioritize stability over maximum quality at 4K, the High preset may be the safer choice, but the data confirms that Ultra is playable at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows that the GPU is the primary performance driver for Inside, with the CPU playing a supporting role that becomes less significant as resolution increases. This is evident from the scaling patterns across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, ranging from 131.1 FPS at Ultra to 282.4 FPS at Low. These figures suggest that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to sustain very high frame rates, but the GPU is still the limiting factor when settings are increased. The sharp drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p, a difference of 151.3 FPS, indicates that the graphics load is what drives performance changes, not the processor.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds. The Low preset averages 203.9 FPS, while Ultra averages 96.2 FPS. The reduction in frame rates compared to 1080p is consistent with an increase in GPU load from additional pixels. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600, has ample processing power for this game, as evidenced by the extremely high frame rates at lower settings. The six-core, twelve-thread processor with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz is more than sufficient for a puzzle platformer of this scope.

At 3840x2160, the GPU role becomes even more pronounced. The frame rates at 4K are substantially lower than at lower resolutions, with the Ultra preset averaging 62.1 FPS. This is a drop of 34.1 FPS compared to the same preset at 1440p, and a drop of 69 FPS compared to the same preset at 1080p. The scaling between resolutions demonstrates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is handling an increasing pixel workload, while the CPU contribution remains relatively constant. The data suggests that users with this combination should focus on GPU settings when optimizing performance, as the processor is unlikely to be a bottleneck at any resolution or preset tested.
