Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a remarkably strong showing in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer that clearly favors high frame rates across all tested configurations. The data indicates this combination is capable of exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution and preset tested, with performance scaling predictably as resolution and graphical demands increase.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates its highest performance ceiling. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 257 FPS, which represents the absolute peak of the tested configurations. Moving to Medium settings yields an average of 217 FPS, with minimums at 185 FPS and maximums at 250 FPS. High settings still deliver a commanding 136 FPS average, while the Ultra preset maintains a robust 129 FPS average. This resolution showcases the system's ability to push well beyond the 60 FPS threshold, leaving substantial headroom for high refresh rate displays.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptionally fluid. The Low preset achieves an average of 195 FPS, while Medium settings produce 156 FPS average with minimums of 133 FPS and maximums of 180 FPS. High settings deliver a strong 98 FPS average, and Ultra settings still hold at 93 FPS average. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable reduction in frame rates, yet every configuration maintains a comfortable margin above the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system shows its first signs of stress, but remains fully playable. The Low preset reaches an average of 123 FPS, while Medium settings deliver 98 FPS average with minimums of 83 FPS and maximums of 113 FPS. High settings barely clear the 60 FPS mark at 61 FPS average, making it the most demanding playable configuration. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 58 FPS average, which falls just short of the playable threshold.

The Verdict

The data confirms this system can run Inside with playable performance across nearly all tested configurations. At 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Medium, and Low, with High being the best setting that achieves a 61 FPS average. The Ultra preset at this resolution fails to meet the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, all four settings are playable, with Ultra providing the best experience at 93 FPS average. This gives users full graphical freedom at this resolution without sacrificing smoothness. At 1920x1080, the same applies: all settings are playable, with Ultra reaching 129 FPS average.

For users prioritizing visual fidelity, the 1440p Ultra setting offers an excellent balance, delivering 93 FPS average. For those seeking maximum frame rates, the 1080p Low setting at 257 FPS average provides the smoothest possible experience. The system demonstrates clear capability for this title, with only the 4K Ultra preset falling short of the target.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Inside. At 1920x1080, the system achieves extremely high frame rates, with Low settings reaching 257 FPS and Ultra settings at 129 FPS. This 128 FPS gap between presets indicates the GPU is heavily involved in determining performance, as graphical settings directly impact frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues with Low at 195 FPS and Ultra at 93 FPS, a difference of 102 FPS. The reduction in absolute frame rates versus 1080p shows the GPU handling more pixels, but the relative scaling between presets remains consistent. At 3840x2160, the gap narrows further: Low produces 123 FPS while Ultra drops to 58 FPS, a difference of 65 FPS.

The data suggests the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU has less pixel work to feed, allowing the GPU to render faster. At 4K, the GPU's workload becomes more demanding, as evidenced by the Ultra preset falling below the 60 FPS threshold while the CPU maintains sufficient performance for lower presets to remain playable.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides ample processing power for this title. The Intel Arc B580's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth support high-resolution textures without apparent memory limitations. The shift in performance scaling between presets at each resolution indicates the GPU's role grows with pixel count, while the CPU remains consistently capable across all settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, delivering 129 FPS average. This represents the highest visual quality available at this resolution while remaining far above the playability threshold. The system's performance at this setting leaves significant headroom for consistent smoothness.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings achieve 93 FPS average, making it the best playable configuration. This provides maximum visual fidelity with a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution produces 156 FPS average, offering even higher performance for users prioritizing frame rates over visual enhancements.

At 3840x2160, High settings deliver 61 FPS average, representing the most demanding preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold. This configuration provides strong visual quality with minimal margin, so users seeking additional performance can drop to Medium for 98 FPS average or Low for 123 FPS average. The Ultra preset at this resolution remains unplayable at 58 FPS average, making High the recommended ceiling for 4K gameplay.
