Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B390 combination delivers a highly playable experience in Inside at 1080p and 1440p, but struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at 4K. The recorded data shows that this system is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it can run the game at maximum settings with comfortable headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, the system remains capable, but users must cap their settings to Medium. The 4K experience is limited to Low settings, as higher presets fall below the playable threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark measurements for this configuration cover three resolutions and four quality presets, with average FPS figures recorded for all settings, while min and max data is only available for the Medium preset.

At 1920x1080, the system performs exceptionally well across the board. The Low preset delivers an average of 156 FPS, making it the fastest recorded configuration in this dataset. Medium settings produce an average of 125 FPS, with a minimum of 106 FPS and a maximum of 144 FPS. High settings yield an average of 78 FPS, while the Ultra preset still maintains a solid 74 FPS average. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS threshold with significant margin, and even the most demanding Ultra setting remains well above the playable line.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably but remains respectable. The Low preset averages 112 FPS, which is a 28% reduction compared to the 1080p Low figure. Medium settings deliver 90 FPS on average, with a recorded minimum of 76 FPS and a maximum of 103 FPS. High settings fall to an average of 56 FPS, which dips just below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Ultra preset averages 53 FPS, also below the threshold. This resolution marks the point where the most demanding presets become less viable, but Medium remains comfortably playable.

At 3840x2160, the system's limitations become apparent. The Low preset is the only playable option, averaging 70 FPS. Medium settings drop to an average of 56 FPS, with a minimum of 48 FPS and a maximum of 65 FPS. High settings average 35 FPS, and Ultra settings average 34 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is substantial, representing a 20% performance loss. The jump from Medium to High is even more severe, with a 37.5% drop in average frame rate.

The scaling pattern across resolutions shows that the system loses roughly 30-40% of its performance when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and another 30-40% when moving from 1440p to 4K, depending on the preset. The Ultra preset at 4K produces only 34 FPS on average, which is less than half of the 74 FPS achieved at 1080p Ultra.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior across resolutions. At 1080p, the GPU appears to be the limiting factor, as the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames. The Ryzen 5 5600GT, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, scores 17,272 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,438 in single-core. These figures place it in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, indicating strong processing capability. The GPU, however, sits in the 9th percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 1,482, which is a relatively low standing.

At 1440p, the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. The frame rate drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant across all presets, ranging from a 28% reduction at Low to a 32% reduction at Ultra. This consistent scaling pattern suggests that the GPU is the primary constraint, as the resolution increase directly impacts pixel throughput. The CPU's performance remains relatively constant regardless of resolution, so the GPU's fill rate and shading capabilities become the deciding factor.

At 4K, the GPU is overwhelmingly the dominant bottleneck. The High preset averages only 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS, showing that the GPU cannot sustain the pixel workload. The CPU's single-thread score of 2,438 in Cinebench R23 is more than sufficient for a puzzle platformer like Inside, which does not demand heavy multi-core processing. The GPU's modest specifications, including 1,536 shading units and a 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 rate, explain why 4K performance collapses.

The resolution scaling indicates that the GPU's role grows with each step up in resolution. At 1080p, the system achieves 156 FPS at Low, which suggests that a more powerful GPU would push even higher, but the CPU is not the limiting factor. At 4K, the GPU's 9th percentile ranking among all GPUs becomes the defining characteristic, as the system struggles to maintain even 60 FPS at Medium settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data from the database specifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS at each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best playable option, delivering an average of 74 FPS. This is the highest quality setting that stays above the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so with 14 FPS of headroom. The High preset averages 78 FPS, and Medium averages 125 FPS, but Ultra is the recommended choice for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the best playable option, averaging 90 FPS. This provides substantial margin above the 60 FPS threshold, with a minimum of 76 FPS ensuring that even the most demanding scenes remain fluid. The High preset at 56 FPS and Ultra at 53 FPS both fall short of the playable threshold, so Medium is the clear choice for this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only playable option, averaging 70 FPS. Medium settings drop to 56 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS target. The database records that Low is the best settings choice for 4K, and the 70 FPS average provides enough headroom for a stable experience, though the visual quality is reduced compared to higher presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for how this hardware compares to other options.

CPU comparisons: The Ryzen 5 5600GT has an average benchmark score of 20,733. Its closest rivals are the Intel Core i5-12490F with a score of 20,802 and a delta of -0.3%, the Intel Xeon 6325P with 20,821 and a delta of -0.4%, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U with 20,826 and a delta of -0.4%, and the AMD EPYC 7J13 with 20,845 and a delta of -0.5%. These deltas are all within half a percent, meaning that any of these CPUs would provide nearly identical frame pacing in Inside. The EPYC 7J13 is technically the strongest of the group, but the differences are negligible for this game's workload.

GPU comparisons: The Intel Arc B390 has an average benchmark score of 1,482. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX with a score of 1,463 and a delta of 1.3%, the NVIDIA GeForce 800M with 1,460 and a delta of 1.5%, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM with 1,446 and a delta of 2.5%, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 with 1,443 and a delta of 2.7%. The B390 is the fastest of these five GPUs, but the performance gap is small: the B390 is 1.3% faster than the GT 520MX and 2.7% faster than the GT 710. In practical terms, swapping the B390 for any of these rivals would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, with the B390 holding a slight edge.

The combination of a high-percentile CPU with a low-percentile GPU creates an imbalanced pairing. The CPU is roughly 74% faster than the average CPU, while the GPU sits in the bottom 9% of all GPUs. This means that in Inside, the GPU will consistently be the limiting factor, and CPU upgrades would yield no measurable benefit.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at 1080p and 1440p, but the playable settings differ significantly by resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, including Ultra with an average of 74 FPS. This is the optimal resolution for this configuration, offering the full range of visual options.

At 2560x1440, the system is playable at Low and Medium settings, with Medium averaging 90 FPS. High and Ultra presets fall below 60 FPS, so users must compromise on visual quality to maintain smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system is only playable at Low settings, averaging 70 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra presets all fail to reach 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging just 34 FPS.

The overall combo rank of 3,296 out of 3,716 combinations places this system in the lower tier of tested hardware configurations. The data confirms that this is a capable 1080p machine for Inside, a modest 1440p machine with settings compromises, and a limited 4K machine restricted to Low quality.
