Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the Intel Arc B370 delivers a performance profile that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphical presets in Inside. This puzzle platformer presents a modest workload, allowing the combo to achieve playable frame rates at every tested resolution, though the margin of comfort varies significantly. The recorded data shows a system that is capable of smooth gameplay at 1080p with maximum settings, but requires a step down in quality at higher resolutions to maintain the 60 FPS target.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination of the Ryzen 5 5600G and Arc B370 produces its strongest results. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 141 FPS, a figure that leaves substantial headroom for high refresh rate displays. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 113 FPS, with the minimum recorded at 96 FPS and the maximum at 130 FPS. High settings yield an average of 70 FPS, while Ultra settings, the most demanding preset, still manage an average of 67 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 74 FPS, indicating that the visual preset has a moderate impact on performance but never pushes the combo below the playable threshold.

The 2560x1440 results show a clear step down in performance. Low settings produce an average of 101 FPS, which remains comfortably above 60 FPS. Medium settings average 81 FPS, with a minimum of 69 FPS and a maximum of 93 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 51 FPS, falling below the playable threshold. Ultra settings are the most demanding, yielding an average of 48 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution is a 53 FPS reduction, demonstrating that the GPU becomes a more significant limiting factor as pixel count rises.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. Low settings average 64 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 51 FPS, with a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 59 FPS, placing it squarely below playable levels. High settings average 32 FPS, and Ultra settings average 30 FPS. The margin between the best and worst presets at 4K is 34 FPS, a relatively narrow band that underscores the GPU's limitations at this resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 67 FPS. This is the optimal choice for users prioritizing visual fidelity, as it clears the playable threshold by a 7 FPS margin. High settings also remain viable at 70 FPS, but Ultra offers the full experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Medium, averaging 81 FPS. This preset stays well above the 60 FPS target, with a minimum of 69 FPS ensuring consistency. High settings fall short at 51 FPS, so Medium represents the ceiling for playable performance at this resolution.

For 3840x2160, the only playable option is Low, which averages 64 FPS. This is the sole preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so by a slim 4 FPS margin. Medium settings at 51 FPS and above are not viable for smooth gameplay.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the graphics card is the dominant constraint in this configuration, particularly as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the CPU has ample headroom, as evidenced by the 141 FPS average on Low settings, which suggests the GPU is still the primary limiter even at lower pixel counts. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 74 FPS drop, a substantial reduction that points to the GPU's workload scaling with visual complexity.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's influence grows more pronounced. The average frame rates across presets drop by roughly 28% to 33% compared to 1080p, and the minimum frame rates on Medium settings fall to 69 FPS. This pattern shows that the Arc B370, with its modest 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 20 ROPs, is increasingly strained as the render target expands.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The difference between Low and Ultra is only 34 FPS, and even the best preset barely clears 60 FPS. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 part with a 4.40 GHz boost clock, is not the limiting factor here; the recorded data shows that performance collapses at 4K regardless of the CPU's capabilities. The system shared memory configuration of the GPU, with bandwidth listed as system dependent, further ties performance to the memory subsystem, but the consistent frame rate drops across resolutions point squarely at the graphics processor.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 1080p with the highest settings?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the average frame rate is 67 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gameplay?

A: Medium settings provide the best balance, with an average of 81 FPS and a minimum of 69 FPS. High settings fall below 60 FPS at 51 FPS average.

Q: Is 4K gaming possible with this hardware?

A: Only with Low settings, which average 64 FPS. Medium settings drop to 51 FPS, and High and Ultra average 32 FPS and 30 FPS respectively.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. This is 0.2% lower than the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, 0.5% lower than the ATI Radeon HD 5770, and 0.7% lower than the AMD Radeon HD 7650M. It is 1.4% higher than the AMD FirePro M2000.

A: The average is 113 FPS, with a minimum of 96 FPS and a maximum of 130 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3422 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside. This places it in the lower percentile of the database, reflecting the GPU's limited performance class. The Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184, and its nearest rivals are all older or lower-tier parts. The CPU, by contrast, is at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21088, which puts it in a much stronger relative position. The disparity between the CPU's ranking and the GPU's ranking explains why the combo's overall rank is dragged down: the graphics processor is the weak link, and the recorded frame rates in Inside confirm this, as performance scales poorly with resolution and preset demands.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside, but the experience depends entirely on the chosen resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable, with all four presets, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, clearing the 60 FPS threshold. The best result at 1080p is Ultra settings at 67 FPS, which offers the full visual experience without compromise. At 2560x1440, the playable options are Low and Medium, with Medium providing the best experience at 81 FPS. High and Ultra settings fall short at 51 FPS and 48 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, averaging 64 FPS, and this is the only preset that clears the threshold. The verdict is clear: for 1080p owners, this is a smooth experience at maximum quality; for 1440p users, Medium is the sweet spot; and for 4K, the hardware is barely sufficient, requiring significant compromises to maintain playability.
