Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 places at rank 899 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside, putting it comfortably in the top quarter of all configurations tested for this game. This is a strong result for a puzzle platformer, indicating that the pairing is far more capable than the game's modest demands require, and it sits well above the median combo in the database.

How This Combo Ranks

At rank 899 of 3716, this combo lands in roughly the 76th percentile of tested systems for Inside. That ranking reflects a system that is not chasing the absolute top tier of performance but is firmly in the upper echelon, with ample headroom across every resolution and settings preset. The CPU alone sits at the 74th percentile among all processors, while the GPU reaches the 82nd percentile among all graphics cards, which explains why the combined rank is so favorable. The data shows a balanced pairing where neither component drags the other down, but the GPU’s higher percentile suggests it is the more dominant contributor to this game’s frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

Inside is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer, and the benchmark data reflects that it is not a demanding title for either component. The scaling between resolutions tells a clear story: at 1920x1080, the combo produces an average of 299 FPS on Low settings, while at 2560x1440 that drops to 269.1 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it falls to 225.1 FPS. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is roughly 25%, which is modest and indicates that even at the highest resolution, the GPU is not being pushed to its limits. Moving from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows a more significant impact: at 4K, Ultra drops to 108.8 FPS from 225.1 FPS at Low, a reduction of over 50%. At 1440p, Ultra still holds 170.5 FPS versus 269.1 FPS at Low, and at 1080p, Ultra maintains 225.4 FPS versus 299 FPS at Low.

The resolution scaling suggests that the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences, but the CPU is never a bottleneck. Even at 1080p Low, where the CPU would typically be under the most relative stress, the combo still delivers nearly 300 FPS, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5600’s six cores and twelve threads are more than sufficient. The GPU’s role becomes slightly more pronounced at 4K, where the gap between Low and Ultra is largest, but the CPU remains capable of keeping up with the RTX 5070’s output throughout. For a game like Inside, which is not graphically intensive, this pairing effectively means the GPU dictates the ceiling while the CPU comfortably clears the floor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers outstanding frame rates across all presets. Low settings average 299 FPS, Medium averages 276 FPS, High averages 226.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 225.4 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is negligible at just 1.5 FPS, suggesting that Ultra is essentially free performance at this resolution. The minimum and maximum FPS values are not provided in the data, but the averages are so far above the playable threshold of 60 FPS that even the worst-case dips would remain well within playable territory.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. Low averages 269.1 FPS, Medium averages 247.1 FPS, High averages 179.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 170.5 FPS. The step from Medium to High is the largest drop at this resolution, falling by roughly 27%, but every preset still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. The consistency between High and Ultra holds here as well, with only a 9 FPS difference, indicating that Ultra settings are the sensible choice for 1440p users.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are still impressive but show the expected decline. Low averages 225.1 FPS, Medium averages 177.2 FPS, High averages 110.6 FPS, and Ultra averages 108.8 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is substantial, falling by over 37%, but the game remains highly playable. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just under 2 FPS, reinforcing the pattern seen at lower resolutions where Ultra provides no meaningful penalty over High. Across all three resolutions, the data shows that this combo never dips below 108 FPS on any preset, which is nearly double the playable threshold.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Inside, and it does so with exceptional margin. The verdict data confirms that every resolution and every settings preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra averaging 108.8 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same applies, with Ultra averaging 170.5 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 225.4 FPS. In practical terms, this means the system is not just capable of running the game; it is capable of running it at maximum settings with frame rates that would satisfy even the most demanding high-refresh-rate display owners. The lowest recorded average across the entire test matrix is 108.8 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still nearly double the playable threshold, so there is no scenario where this combo struggles with Inside.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600’s average benchmark score of 20468 is nearly identical to several other processors. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20454, a delta of just 0.1%, meaning it would perform effectively the same in this game. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425, also within 0.2%, and the AMD EPYC 9454P matches at 20422 with a 0.2% delta. Even the AMD EPYC 7713, which scores 20363, is only 0.5% behind. For gaming purposes, any of these CPUs would deliver indistinguishable frame rates in Inside, as the game is not CPU-bound at any tested resolution.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5070’s average score of 40377 has similarly close rivals. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 40318, a 0.1% delta, while the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063, just 0.8% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is slightly ahead at 40870, a -1.2% delta, and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile trails at 39568, a 2% delta. These are all workstation-class cards that would behave comparably in Inside, though the RTX 5070’s consumer drivers likely offer better optimization for gaming workloads. For this specific title, any of these alternatives would produce frame rates within a couple of percent of the tested combo, so users with these parts should expect similar performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 108.8 FPS. This is the clear recommendation for 4K, as it delivers the highest visual quality while still maintaining nearly double the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best choice, averaging 170.5 FPS, which leaves substantial headroom for any future driver overhead or background tasks. At 1920x1080, Ultra again takes the top spot with an average of 225.4 FPS. In all three cases, the data shows that Ultra settings are not just playable but preferable, since the performance cost over High is minimal — under 2 FPS at every resolution — while the visual fidelity gains are typically meaningful for a puzzle platformer with atmospheric lighting and shadows. Users with 144Hz or 165Hz monitors can confidently enable Ultra at 1440p, and even 4K users with high-refresh displays will find the 108.8 FPS average sufficient for smooth gameplay.
