Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Measured data shows this combination ranks in the 1025th position out of 3716 tested combos, placing it in the top percentile of systems for this title. The benchmark results indicate that the hardware is heavily overqualified for the game’s demands, with even the most demanding preset at 4K resolution staying well above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest raw frame rates. The Low preset averages 298 FPS, while Medium averages 275 FPS with a minimum of 234 FPS and a maximum of 317 FPS. High settings reach an average of 229 FPS, and Ultra averages 219 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is only 79 FPS, showing that the GPU has ample headroom even at the highest settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally strong. Low averages 267 FPS, and Medium averages 247 FPS with a minimum of 210 FPS and a maximum of 284 FPS. High settings deliver an average of 165 FPS, while Ultra averages 157 FPS. The resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 30-40 FPS on the High and Ultra presets, but the absolute numbers remain far beyond what the game requires.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4070 still dominates. Low settings average 208 FPS, and Medium averages 166 FPS with a minimum of 141 FPS and a maximum of 191 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 104 FPS, and Ultra is the most demanding at 99 FPS on average. Even at 4K, the frame rate never approaches the 60 FPS playability threshold from below — the data shows every preset clears it by a wide margin.

The Medium preset is the only configuration where minimum and maximum FPS values were recorded across all three resolutions. At 1080p, the minimum of 234 FPS indicates that even the most complex scenes do not cause any perceptible stutter. At 1440p, the minimum of 210 FPS confirms stable delivery, and at 4K, the 141 FPS minimum remains far above the threshold. These minimums suggest that frame pacing is consistent, with no sudden drops that would impact the experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame places this CPU-GPU pairing at position 1025 out of 3716 tested combinations. This represents the top 27.6% of all systems tested for Inside, which is a strong result given that the game is a lightweight puzzle platformer. The ranking reflects that while many systems can run the game, this particular combination delivers headroom that most others cannot match.

The rank becomes more meaningful when considered alongside the measured FPS data. A system ranking 1025th still produces over 200 FPS at 1080p Low and over 200 FPS at 4K Low. This indicates that the ranking is influenced by the sheer number of high-end configurations tested, rather than any deficiency in this combo. The RTX 4070’s 81st percentile standing among all GPUs and the Ryzen 5 5600’s 74th percentile among all CPUs both contribute to a pairing that sits comfortably above the median for this game.

The data shows that the rank is not a limitation in practice. The game’s playability threshold of 60 FPS is cleared at every resolution and preset tested. The combination’s position in the rankings is a function of the competitive field, not an indication of any performance shortfall. For a game like Inside, which has modest hardware requirements, this combo is effectively in the upper echelon of systems capable of running it at maximum settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, which scores 20454 with a delta of 0.1% from the Ryzen 5 5600’s average of 20468. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425 (0.2% slower), the AMD EPYC 9454P scores 20422 (0.2% slower), and the AMD EPYC 7713 scores 20363 (0.5% slower). These processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Inside, meaning any of them paired with the RTX 4070 would produce frame rates within a fraction of a percent of what is measured here.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with an average score of 37628 (0.1% slower than the RTX 4070’s 37648), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 at 37507 (0.4% slower), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile at 38135 (1.3% faster), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 at 37157 (1.3% slower). Swapping the RTX 4070 for any of these would result in nearly identical FPS in Inside, as the game is not demanding enough to expose the small differences in raw compute performance.

In practice, a system with the Ryzen 5 5600 and any of these rival GPUs would show less than 2% variation in frame rates. Similarly, pairing the RTX 4070 with any of the rival CPUs would keep performance essentially unchanged. The data suggests that for Inside, the GPU is the dominant factor, but even the GPU’s closest rivals are so close in score that the user experience would be indistinguishable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results show that the GPU is the primary driver of performance in Inside, but the CPU also contributes meaningfully at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 298 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 219 FPS. This 79 FPS gap is driven largely by the GPU’s workload scaling with settings, as the CPU has ample headroom at this resolution to feed frames.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high, but the scaling from Low (267 FPS) to Ultra (157 FPS) shows a 110 FPS difference. The increased resolution places more load on the GPU, which narrows the gap between settings relative to 1080p but still leaves the CPU with enough capacity to avoid becoming a bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 5600’s single-thread score of 882 in 3DMark and multi-thread score of 5659 indicate that it can handle the game’s logic without limiting the GPU.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. Low averages 208 FPS, while Ultra averages 99 FPS, a 109 FPS spread. The absolute numbers are still high, but the resolution increase from 1440p to 4K costs roughly 60 FPS on Low and 58 FPS on Ultra. This confirms that the GPU is doing the heavy lifting, as the CPU’s role in frame generation diminishes when the GPU is saturated with pixel work.

The data shows that across all resolutions, the GPU is the more important component for this game. The RTX 4070’s 1920 MHz base clock and 2475 MHz boost clock, combined with 5888 shading units, provide more than enough rasterization power. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to keep the GPU fed, but no setting or resolution tested reveals any CPU bottleneck, as even the highest FPS figures are only limited by the GPU’s render time.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Inside without any issues. The verdictByResolution data lists all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at every resolution tested. The playability threshold of 60 FPS is cleared by the lowest average FPS recorded, which is 99 FPS at 4K Ultra. This means the game is not just playable but runs with substantial headroom across the board.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra with an average FPS of 219. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best setting, averaging 157 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 99 FPS, which remains 39 FPS above the threshold. The data confirms that the combo can handle the game at maximum settings at all three resolutions without any compromise.

The minimum FPS values, where recorded, reinforce the verdict. The lowest minimum is 141 FPS at 4K Medium, which is still more than double the playability threshold. No measured data point suggests any risk of the frame rate dropping below 60 FPS, even in the most demanding scenes. This system is effectively endgame hardware for Inside.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 219 FPS. This is the highest settings level available, and the frame rate is more than three times the threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best choice, averaging 157 FPS. The margin above 60 FPS is 97 FPS, providing a smooth experience with no need to reduce settings.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 99 FPS, which is the lowest average across all tested configurations but still clears the threshold by 39 FPS. The data shows that Ultra is the recommended preset at 4K, as it provides the highest visual fidelity without sacrificing playability.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, the Medium preset at 4K offers a 141 FPS minimum and a 166 FPS average, which is a substantial jump from Ultra’s 99 FPS. However, the Ultra preset remains the most demanding option that stays above 60 FPS, making it the best settings recommendation at every resolution.
