CPU and GPU Roles

Analyzing the measured frame rates across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Inside. The game’s frame rates scale noticeably with resolution, which is a typical indication of GPU-bound workloads. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 169 FPS, while at 2560x1440 the same preset drops to 122 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it further drops to 76 FPS. This scaling pattern shows that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases, because the number of pixels being rendered grows substantially, putting more load on the graphics card. The RTX 5060, with its 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, handles these loads consistently, but the frame rate reduction from 1080p to 4K is clear evidence of GPU-bound behavior.

The CPU’s role becomes more apparent when looking at the performance differences between presets at a fixed resolution. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 161 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 76 FPS, a difference of 85 FPS. This large gap is primarily due to the increased graphical workload at Ultra settings, which affects the GPU more than the CPU. However, the CPU must still feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic, and the Ryzen 5 5600F’s 6 cores and 12 threads, based on the Zen 3 architecture, are sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s demands. The fact that even the most demanding 4K Ultra setting maintains 76 FPS indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck, as the frame rate is still well above the playable threshold.

The data also suggests that the CPU’s impact is relatively consistent across resolutions, as the frame rates for the same preset do not show any signs of CPU-induced stuttering or frame rate caps. For example, the Medium preset at 1920x1080 averages 237 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that would require strong CPU performance to maintain. The Ryzen 5 5600F’s single-thread score of 2872 and multithread score of 19236 in the PassMark benchmarks indicate that it has ample processing power for this game. Overall, the GPU is the dominant component for Inside, especially at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides solid support without becoming a limiting factor.
