Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. Measured data shows this combination produces average frame rates far exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution and preset tested. Across 4K, 1440p, and 1080p, the system maintains a minimum average of 112.4 FPS even at the most demanding Ultra settings, indicating enormous headroom for this title's relatively modest graphical requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest playable setting at 4K resolution?

A: The Ultra preset is fully playable at 3840x2160, achieving an average of 112.4 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How much faster is the Low preset compared to Ultra at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 269.7 FPS, while Ultra averages 174.8 FPS. This represents a 54.3% performance increase when dropping from Ultra to Low.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 SUPER bottleneck the CPU at 1080p?

A: The data suggests the opposite. At 1920x1080, the Low preset hits 295.5 FPS, while Ultra reaches 224.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra (a 24.1% drop) indicates the GPU is handling the increased load without the CPU limiting frame rates.

Q: What is the performance difference between High and Medium settings at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, High averages 115.1 FPS, while Medium averages 184.4 FPS. The Medium preset is 60.2% faster than High, showing a significant performance jump when lowering settings.

*Q: Is this combo ranked highly among all tested systems for Inside?*

A: The combo ranks 861st out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the top 23.2% of all systems benchmarked in this game.

Q: Can the system maintain 60 FPS at maximum settings in all resolutions?

A: Yes. The Ultra preset averages 224.2 FPS at 1080p, 174.8 FPS at 1440p, and 112.4 FPS at 4K. Every resolution clears the 60 FPS threshold with substantial margin.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, which scores 20454 versus the Ryzen 5 5600's 20468 — a negligible 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425 (0.2% slower), and the AMD EPYC 9454P also scores 20422 (0.2% slower). The AMD EPYC 7713 trails by 0.5% with a score of 20363. These processors would deliver virtually identical CPU-bound performance in Inside, meaning any of them paired with the same GPU would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, just 0.1% above the RTX 4070 SUPER's 43223. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268 (0.1% higher), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43301 (0.2% higher). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43667, which is 1% faster. In practical terms, swapping the RTX 4070 SUPER for any of these alternatives would result in frame rate differences of less than 1% in Inside, making them all equivalent for this game's workload.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data indicates that the GPU is the dominant performance factor across all resolutions, but the CPU still plays a meaningful role at lower settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the system reaches 295.5 FPS — this is the highest frame rate recorded, suggesting the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates. However, the gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 71.3 FPS (295.5 to 224.2), which is a 24.1% reduction. This scaling shows the GPU working harder as settings increase.

At 1440p, the Low preset averages 269.7 FPS, dropping to 174.8 FPS at Ultra — a 35.2% reduction. At 4K, Low averages 228.3 FPS, while Ultra drops to 112.4 FPS, a 50.8% reduction. This pattern reveals that resolution scaling has a much larger impact than settings scaling. Moving from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra reduces performance from 224.2 FPS to 112.4 FPS, a 49.9% drop. Meanwhile, moving from 4K Low to 4K Ultra reduces performance from 228.3 FPS to 112.4 FPS, a 50.8% drop.

The data shows that the CPU becomes less relevant as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 71.3 FPS, which includes both CPU and GPU effects. At 4K, that difference grows to 115.9 FPS, indicating the GPU is now the primary bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 5600's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Inside's workload, as evidenced by the high frame rates even at 1080p where CPU overhead is typically highest.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside at exceptional performance levels. The verdict by resolution is unequivocal: all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at every resolution tested. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset maintains an average of 112.4 FPS, nearly double the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 174.8 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 224.2 FPS.

The system clears 60 FPS with such massive headroom that even the most demanding configuration — 4K Ultra — delivers 87.3% more performance than required. This means the user has complete freedom to enable every graphical feature without concern for frame rate drops. The data indicates no scenario where this combo would struggle to maintain smooth gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured average frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce 228.3 FPS, Medium produces 184.4 FPS, High produces 115.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 112.4 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium (184.4 FPS) and High (115.1 FPS), a 37.6% reduction.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 269.7 FPS, Medium averages 247.9 FPS, High averages 187.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 174.8 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is 24.5%, while the drop from High to Ultra is 6.6%. This indicates diminishing returns at the highest settings.

At 1920x1080, Low settings average 295.5 FPS, Medium averages 277.8 FPS, High averages 231 FPS, and Ultra averages 224.2 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 71.3 FPS, or 24.1%. The gap between High and Ultra is just 6.8 FPS, showing that Ultra is only slightly more demanding than High at this resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, which averages 112.4 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS. Since Ultra clears the threshold by 87.3%, there is no reason to use lower settings at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best choice, averaging 174.8 FPS. This exceeds the 60 FPS target by 191.3%. The system has enough performance headroom to run the maximum settings without any compromises.

At 1920x1080, Ultra remains the optimal selection, averaging 224.2 FPS. This is 273.7% above the 60 FPS threshold. Given the massive surplus, users could consider enabling additional supersampling or other enhancement features, though the data only covers the standard presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 861st out of 3716 tested combos in Inside. This places the system in the top 23.2% of all configurations benchmarked. The rank reflects both the CPU's 74th percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 83rd percentile among all graphics cards.

The CPU achieves an average benchmark score of 20468, with strong multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309) and single-thread capability (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2584). The GPU's average benchmark score is 43223, with a Passmark G3D score of 29995 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627.

Given that Inside is a 2016 Puzzle Platformer with relatively light graphical demands, this high-end combination produces frame rates that are several times higher than required. The rank of 861 out of 3716 indicates that while many systems exceed this performance, the vast majority of tested configurations would struggle to match the frame rates achieved here. This combo sits comfortably in the upper quartile of all tested systems for this game.
