Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Benchmark data shows the system consistently exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold across all tested resolutions and presets, with performance scaling predictably from 1080p up to 4K. This pairing of a 6-core Zen 3 processor with an Ada Lovelace GPU produces average frame rates ranging from 72 FPS at 4K Ultra to 290.6 FPS at 1080p Low, making this a robust configuration for the title. The measured data clearly indicates that this PC is not merely capable of running the game, but does so with substantial headroom at every setting level.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 5600G's average benchmark score of 21088 places it in a tight cluster with several other processors. The Intel Core i3-1220P is the closest rival with an average score of 21066, a mere 0.1% behind the AMD chip. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V sits just ahead at 21112, a 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, which is 0.2% higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U rounds out the group with a score of 21174, representing a 0.4% lead. These delta percentages are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that in synthetic benchmarks, these four CPUs deliver essentially interchangeable performance. A system built with any of these rivals would likely produce similar frame rates in Inside, which is not a heavily multithreaded title.

The GPU's nearest rivals reveal a wider performance spread. The RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639, placing it in the 61st percentile of all graphics cards. The closest alternative is the AMD Radeon HD 7790, which scores 17666, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Radeon 780M integrated solution scores 17588, just 0.3% behind the RTX 4060. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460 score 17551 and 17509, respectively, falling 0.5% and 0.7% behind. Despite the age of some of these names, the data suggests that in pure synthetic scoring, a user would see very similar GPU performance from any of these cards. However, the RTX 4060's modern feature set and driver support are not reflected in this raw score comparison.

CPU and GPU Roles

In this specific game, the GPU is overwhelmingly the primary driver of frame rate, as evidenced by the scaling between resolutions. At 1080p High, the system produces 163.9 FPS. Moving to 1440p High drops the frame rate to 118 FPS, and at 4K High, performance falls further to 74.2 FPS. This pattern of a roughly 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and another 37% reduction from 1440p to 4K is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's role is consistent across these resolutions, as the Ryzen 5 5600G's single-thread score of 1409 in Cinebench R23 is more than sufficient to feed the GPU in a game of this visual complexity.

The settings preset also highlights the GPU's importance. At 4K, the jump from Low to Medium raises the average FPS from 152.2 to a lower 120.2, but the leap to Ultra settings at the same resolution drops the frame rate to 72 FPS. This 51.8% reduction in performance from Low to Ultra at 4K is a direct result of the increased pixel shading and texture work being handled by the RTX 4060. The CPU's workload does not increase proportionally with these changes, so the frame rate shifts are almost entirely attributable to the graphics card. The data confirms that for this game, the GPU is the primary component for achieving higher frame rates at higher resolutions and visual settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a clear picture of the system's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the average frame rates are 290.2 FPS on Low, 265.6 FPS on Medium, 163.9 FPS on High, and 156.2 FPS on Ultra. These numbers are all far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The drop from Medium to High is substantial, at 101.7 FPS, but the game remains exceptionally fluid. At this resolution, even the most demanding preset leaves a massive amount of headroom.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains very high. The Low preset yields 238 FPS, and Medium drops to 192.8 FPS. High settings produce 118 FPS, and Ultra remains at 114.5 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is only 3.5 FPS, suggesting a diminishing return on visual fidelity at this point. The system maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold even with the most taxing settings. The 1440p results show the GPU can handle the increased resolution without breaking a sweat.

At 3840x2160, the system still excels. Low settings deliver 152.2 FPS, and Medium provides 120.2 FPS. High and Ultra are closer together, with the former at 74.2 FPS and the latter at 72 FPS. This is the only resolution where the frame rates begin to approach a lower ceiling, but the game remains fully playable. Even at the Ultra preset, the average frame rate is 20% above the playable threshold, ensuring a smooth experience on a 4K display.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside with ease. The benchmark results show that the combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and settings preset tested. The verdict data confirms that all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are considered playable at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 156.2 frames per second, which is more than double the playable target. The 2560x1440 resolution also offers a superb experience, with Ultra settings delivering 114.5 FPS.

Even at the most demanding 4K resolution, the system remains well above the 60 FPS requirement. The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 yields an average of 72 FPS, providing a 20% buffer over the playable threshold. There is no resolution or setting combination in the data where the frame rate drops below 60 FPS. Therefore, the system is fully certified for all tested configurations. The lowest frame rate recorded is 72 FPS, which occurs at 4K Ultra, and this is still a smooth, playable experience for a puzzle platformer.

Best Settings per Resolution

For a constant 60 FPS experience, the data indicates the best settings at each resolution. At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 72 FPS. This is the optimal choice for maximum visual quality at 4K. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best, delivering 114.5 FPS. This provides both high fidelity and a very high refresh rate. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset produces 156.2 FPS, which is the highest possible setting and the best outcome for this resolution.

These settings represent the best visual quality while maintaining a playable frame rate. There is no headroom to push beyond Ultra, as that is the highest preset available. The system's performance at these best settings shows a consistent pattern: it has enough power to run the game at maximum settings across all resolutions. The choice for a user is simply what resolution they prefer, as the frame rate will be sufficient for any of them.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1974 out of 3716 tested combos for this game. This places the configuration in the 53rd percentile of all tested systems. This mid-pack ranking is interesting in light of the game's performance, which is uniformly excellent across all settings. The ranking likely reflects the pool of all tested hardware, including those with much more powerful components that can achieve even higher frame rates. However, for the stated purpose of achieving 60 FPS, this combo far exceeds the requirement. The data shows that this rank is not a measure of playability, but rather a measure of raw performance against a wide range of hardware. The system's performance in the 53rd percentile means that while it is not the fastest, it is perfectly positioned to deliver a smooth experience for Inside.
