Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Inside with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER shows a clear pattern: this combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates at every resolution tested. The game is a Puzzle Platformer, which is reflected in the modest hardware demands.

At 1920x1080, the results are uniformly strong. The Low preset averages 257 FPS, which is the highest recorded score for this combination at any resolution or setting. Medium drops to 237 FPS on average, with a minimum of 201 FPS and a maximum of 272 FPS. High settings produce 155 FPS on average, while Ultra remains at 147 FPS. Even the lowest recorded figure at this resolution, the Medium preset's minimum of 201 FPS, sits far above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high but show the expected scaling cost. Low averages 223 FPS, Medium averages 178 FPS with a minimum of 151 FPS and a maximum of 205 FPS, High averages 111 FPS, and Ultra averages 106 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 117 FPS, which demonstrates that the visual preset has a substantial impact on performance, but even the most demanding setting stays comfortably above 100 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile changes more noticeably. Low averages 140 FPS, Medium averages 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 129 FPS, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution is the only recorded configuration that approaches the 60 FPS threshold, but it still clears it by 7 FPS. The High preset at 4K, at 70 FPS, also remains above the threshold with a modest margin. The Medium preset's minimum of 95 FPS is worth noting, as it indicates that even the worst-case frames during the measurement window were well above playability.

The scaling between resolutions is consistent. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K it is 83 FPS. At Medium, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 59 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K it is 66 FPS. At High, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 44 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 41 FPS. At Ultra, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 41 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 39 FPS. The pattern suggests that resolution scaling is roughly linear for this title, with each step up in resolution costing a similar amount of performance regardless of preset.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database's nearest rival data for the CPU and GPU provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly to this combination.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, the closest competitors by average benchmark score are the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, which scores 36938 with a 0% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, which scores 37018 with a -0.2% delta. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 with a -0.4% delta, and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112 with a -0.5% delta. These four CPUs are all within half a percent of the Ryzen 5 5600F's average score of 36945, meaning any of them would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside when paired with the same GPU. The Ryzen 5 5600F itself sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, which scores 20480 with a -1% delta, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 with a -1.2% delta, the Intel Arc B570 at 20556 with a -1.3% delta, and the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 with a -1.5% delta. The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282 and sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs. The deltas here are slightly larger than the CPU side, but still within 1.5% of the RTX 2070 SUPER's score. A system swapping in any of these GPUs while keeping the Ryzen 5 5600F would be expected to produce very similar FPS results in this game, since Inside does not appear to be heavily dependent on either component at these performance levels.

It bears noting that the GPU rivals include both desktop and mobile parts. The RTX 3070 Mobile and Quadro M4000M are mobile or professional variants, but their benchmark scores place them in the same performance band as the RTX 2070 SUPER. The Intel Arc B570 and Arc A750 are desktop cards that also land in this range. Any of these alternatives would be a reasonable reference point for expected performance in Inside.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset combination recorded in the database. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 147 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 106 FPS, still well above the threshold. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 67 FPS, which clears the threshold by a 7 FPS margin. The 4K Ultra result is the closest any configuration comes to the playability boundary, but it does not cross it.

The verdict data lists the best settings per resolution as Ultra in all three cases, with average FPS at those settings being 147 at 1080p, 106 at 1440p, and 67 at 4K. There is no resolution in the dataset where the playable threshold is missed. The minimum recorded FPS across all configs with min data, 95 FPS at 4K Medium, is still 35 FPS above the threshold.

For users who prioritize frame rate stability over visual fidelity, even the most demanding preset at the highest resolution stays above 60 FPS. For users who want the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 257 FPS, which is suitable for very high refresh rate displays. The verdict is straightforward: this combination handles Inside with substantial headroom at every measured configuration.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data allows for an analysis of how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Inside. The game is not particularly demanding, and the recorded frame rates suggest that neither component is a bottleneck at most settings.

The scaling between resolutions is the primary indicator of GPU load. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 257 at 1080p to 223 at 1440p and then to 140 at 4K. This is a 45% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which indicates that the GPU is doing more work as resolution increases. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 147 at 1080p to 106 at 1440p and then to 67 at 4K, a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The larger percentage drop at Ultra settings suggests that the higher preset increases GPU load more than it increases CPU load.

The scaling between presets at a fixed resolution is another indicator. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 110 FPS (257 to 147). At 1440p, the difference is 117 FPS (223 to 106). At 4K, the difference is 73 FPS (140 to 67). The smaller absolute gap at 4K suggests that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor at higher resolutions, compressing the range of achievable frame rates across presets.

The CPU's role is likely more prominent at lower resolutions and lower presets, where the frame rates are extremely high. At 1080p Low, the average of 257 FPS would require the CPU to feed frames at a rate that exceeds most display refresh rates. At 4K Ultra, the average of 67 FPS is much closer to typical display refresh rates, and the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 5600F's position at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, combined with its 6 cores and 12 threads, suggests it has ample headroom for a game like Inside, which is not known for heavy multithreaded workloads.

The data does not include separate CPU and GPU utilization measurements, so the exact split cannot be quantified. However, the pattern of diminishing returns at higher resolutions, combined with the game's genre and release timeframe, points to a GPU-bound scenario at 4K and a more balanced or CPU-bound scenario at 1080p Low. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 65th percentile GPU ranking is lower than the CPU's 85th percentile ranking, which further suggests that the GPU is the more likely constraint in this pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 2227 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 2070 SUPER in the upper portion of the distribution, roughly at the 60th percentile of tested combinations. The rank reflects the combination of the CPU's 85th percentile standing and the GPU's 65th percentile standing, with the final ranking influenced by the specific demands of this game.

A rank of 2227 out of 3716 means that approximately 40% of tested combos performed better in Inside, while approximately 60% performed worse. Given that the game runs at 67 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is above the playable threshold, the rank is consistent with the performance data. The combination is not at the top of the database, but it is comfortably above the median, and the measured FPS confirms that it exceeds the playability threshold at all tested configurations.

The combination's rank is likely held back by the GPU's lower percentile position relative to the CPU. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 65th percentile ranking means that many tested GPUs outperform it, and those GPUs, when paired with comparable CPUs, would push the combo rank higher. However, the rank also reflects the fact that Inside is not a demanding title, so even mid-tier GPUs achieve high frame rates, which compresses the performance differences between combos at the top of the distribution.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS at each resolution. For all three resolutions tested, the Ultra preset qualifies.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 147 FPS. This is the best settings choice because it is the most visually demanding preset and it still leaves 87 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. The Low preset at 257 FPS and Medium at 237 FPS offer higher frame rates, but the Ultra preset provides the best visual quality without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 106 FPS. The headroom above the threshold is 46 FPS, which is still substantial. The High preset at 111 FPS is only 5 FPS faster than Ultra, so the visual quality gain from Ultra comes at a minimal performance cost at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 67 FPS. This is the tightest margin in the dataset, with only 7 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 70 FPS is only 3 FPS faster than Ultra, so the choice between High and Ultra at 4K is a tradeoff between a small frame rate gain and the highest visual quality. The data shows that Ultra remains playable, but users who want a larger safety margin could choose High instead. The Medium preset at 112 FPS offers a much larger margin, and the Low preset at 140 FPS is the safest choice for maintaining very high frame rates at 4K.

For users with variable refresh rate displays, the 4K Ultra average of 67 FPS should stay within the refresh window of most such displays. For fixed 60 Hz displays, the 67 FPS average provides a small but sufficient buffer above the refresh rate. The minimum FPS data at 4K is only available for Medium (95 FPS), so the worst-case frame times for Ultra at 4K are not recorded, but the average suggests that frame drops below 60 FPS are unlikely given the overall performance headroom.
