Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a decidedly mixed performance profile in Inside, one that is heavily dependent on the resolution and preset selected. While the combination demonstrates clear capability at standard and high refresh rates, it hits a performance ceiling at 4K Ultra settings. The data indicates a system that is overwhelmingly playable at 1080p and 1440p across all tested presets, but requires a reduction in graphical fidelity to maintain consistent frame rates at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for this combination show a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally capable. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 240 FPS. Moving up to Medium settings, the average drops to 192 FPS, with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 221 FPS. At High settings, the average is 120 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, still maintains an average of 114 FPS. All of these 1080p results sit far above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but begins to show more variation. The Low preset yields an average of 172 FPS. The Medium preset produces an average of 138 FPS, with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS. The High preset delivers an average of 86 FPS. Even the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding setting tested, maintains an average of 82 FPS. The data shows that even at this higher resolution, all presets clear the playable threshold by a substantial margin.

The picture changes significantly at 3840x2160 (4K). The Low preset maintains an average of 108 FPS, which is still very smooth. The Medium preset delivers an average of 87 FPS, with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS. However, the High preset average falls to 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with an average of just 52 FPS. The data clearly shows that at 4K, the system can only maintain playable performance with the Low and Medium presets.

CPU and GPU Roles

The frame rate data across resolutions and presets provides insight into the roles of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and the Intel Arc B570. The dramatic scaling between presets at a fixed resolution suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck. For example, at 1920x1080, moving from Low to Ultra settings reduces the average frame rate from 240 FPS to 114 FPS. This is a reduction of 126 FPS, a massive drop that indicates the graphics workload is heavily taxing the GPU as visual fidelity increases.

The scaling between resolutions is also telling. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops from 114 FPS at 1080p to 82 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 52 FPS at 4K. This consistent decline with increasing pixel count is a classic sign of a GPU-bound workload. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, is likely capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU's performance ceiling becomes the limiting factor as the resolution and preset load increase.

However, the picture is more nuanced at lower settings. At Low preset, the system averages 240 FPS at 1080p and 172 FPS at 1440p. These are very high frame rates that require significant CPU processing power to maintain. The fact that the frame rate still scales down with resolution at this low preset suggests that while the GPU is still a factor, the CPU's ability to issue draw calls and process game logic is also being exercised. The data supports a conclusion that this game, at this configuration, is primarily GPU-limited, especially at higher resolutions and presets. The CPU's role becomes more prominent only when the GPU has spare capacity, which occurs at lower settings and resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU in this configuration provide a context for its expected behavior. For the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, the closest performance match is the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, with a negligible performance delta of 0%. This suggests that a system using that processor would exhibit nearly identical frame pacing in CPU-dependent scenarios. Other close alternatives include the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, which is 0.2% faster, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, which is 0.4% faster. The Intel Core i9-12900T is 0.5% faster in these benchmarks. These deltas are so small that they would not produce a meaningful difference in the average frame rates measured for Inside.

For the Intel Arc B570, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 0.1% higher in the average benchmark. This indicates that the Arc B570 would perform virtually identically to that mobile GPU in this game. Similarly, the Intel Arc A750 is 0.1% slower, and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 0.4% faster. The AMD Radeon R9 M390X is 0.5% slower. Given these minimal performance deltas, a system with any of these GPUs paired with a similar CPU would be expected to produce frame rates that are within a few percentage points of those recorded for the B570. The benchmark data shows that the performance class of this GPU is well-established, and the measured FPS in Inside should be representative of this tier of hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B570 places this specific configuration at rank 2983 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This ranking places the system in the lower-middle portion of the database, meaning there are 733 other hardware combinations that achieve higher frame rates in this game. While the absolute frame rates are high enough for smooth gameplay at many settings, the ranking indicates that many other systems are capable of even higher performance, particularly at 4K resolutions where this combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates on higher presets. The rank reflects the system's overall performance across all tested settings and resolutions, and the data shows that its primary limitation is the high-resolution, high-detail performance ceiling.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Inside effectively, but with qualifications depending on the target resolution. Based on the verdictByResolution data, at 1920x1080, all four presets (High, Low, Medium, and Ultra) are playable, with average frame rates ranging from 114 FPS to 240 FPS. This resolution is fully playable at maximum settings. At 2560x1440, the system also runs all presets playably, including Ultra, which averages 82 FPS. The 1440p experience is excellent across the board.

The situation is different at 3840x2160. The verdictByResolution data lists only Low and Medium as playable settings. The High preset at 54 FPS and the Ultra preset at 52 FPS fall short of the 60 FPS playable threshold. Therefore, the PC can run the game at 4K, but users must be willing to compromise on visual quality to achieve smooth performance. The system's performance is strong at lower resolutions but is not future-proof for 4K gaming with high visual settings. It is a capable machine for this title, with a clear performance boundary at 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

The optimal settings for a consistent 60+ FPS experience are determined by the highest preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above the playable threshold. Based on the measured data, the recommended settings are as follows:

• 3840x2160 (4K): The best preset is Medium, which achieves an average of 87 FPS. This provides a significant improvement over the 54 FPS average of the High preset while remaining well above the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): The best preset is Ultra, which averages 82 FPS. This allows for the highest visual quality at this resolution without sacrificing playability.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): The best preset is Ultra, which delivers an average of 114 FPS. This resolution allows for maximum settings with a comfortable margin above the playable threshold.
