Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 delivers a robust performance profile for Inside, a puzzle platformer that scales impressively across resolutions and presets. The recorded data shows a combination that comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold in nearly all tested scenarios. The only exception appears at 4K with the Ultra preset, where the average frame rate dips slightly below the target. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, compares the combo’s standing within the database, and examines the roles of the CPU and GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four quality presets. Min and max frame rates were not recorded, so the analysis relies on average FPS values.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all presets. The Low preset achieves an average of 253.9 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded for this configuration. Medium follows at 203.6 FPS, while High reaches 129.8 FPS. The Ultra preset, the most demanding setting at this resolution, still produces an average of 121.5 FPS. Every preset at 1080p clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with the lowest result being more than double the playable target.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling impact. The Low preset averages 184.6 FPS, dropping to 149.4 FPS on Medium. High settings yield 91.9 FPS, while Ultra maintains 87.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is roughly 96.8 FPS, indicating that the GPU and CPU combination handles the increased pixel count without severe degradation. All four presets at 1440p remain comfortably above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results begin to show more variation. Low settings produce an average of 118.4 FPS, and Medium drops to 91.9 FPS. High settings average 59.7 FPS, just barely under the 60 FPS playable threshold. Ultra is the only preset that clearly misses the target, averaging 56.8 FPS. The data shows that 4K is the boundary for this combo, with the two highest presets falling at or below the playable mark.

The scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent. For example, the Low preset goes from 253.9 FPS at 1080p to 118.4 FPS at 4K, a reduction of about 53%. The Ultra preset drops from 121.5 FPS at 1080p to 56.8 FPS at 4K, a reduction of roughly 53% as well. This uniform scaling suggests that the bottleneck shifts evenly as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 2867 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places the pairing in the lower-middle portion of the database, which is notable given the high frame rates observed. The rank reflects the full pool of tested systems, many of which include far more powerful hardware. However, the percentile context matters: the CPU sits in the 74th percentile against all tested CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 58th percentile against all tested GPUs. The combo’s overall standing is dragged down by the GPU’s lower relative position, even though the measured FPS for this specific game are strong.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside, and it does so with strong results across most configurations. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 121.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, every preset also clears the threshold, with Ultra at 87.8 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 91.9 FPS. High settings at 4K average 59.7 FPS, just under the target, and Ultra averages 56.8 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is clear. For 1080p and 1440p, users can enable Ultra settings without concern. For 4K, the best playable choice is Medium, which provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The single sub-60 result at 4K Ultra is the only scenario where this combo falls short, and it does so by a small margin.

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 are well-suited for this game. The high frame rates at lower resolutions and the acceptable performance at 4K on medium settings make this a reliable pairing for Inside.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the CPU and GPU contribute differently depending on the resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more significant role, as the lower pixel count reduces the GPU’s workload. The frame rates are extremely high, with the Low preset reaching 253.9 FPS. This suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600GT, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is more than capable of feeding the GPU at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The average frame rates drop by roughly 27% to 33% compared to 1080p, depending on the preset. For example, High goes from 129.8 FPS at 1080p to 91.9 FPS at 1440p, a 29% reduction. This indicates that the RTX 2060 is becoming the limiting factor as the pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. The Ultra preset drops to 56.8 FPS, and High falls to 59.7 FPS. The CPU’s benchmark scores, such as the Cinebench R23 multicore result of 17272, suggest it has ample headroom, but the GPU’s 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are not enough to sustain high presets at 4K.

The scaling between presets also highlights the GPU’s role. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 132.4 FPS. At 1440p, the difference is 96.8 FPS. At 4K, the difference narrows to 61.6 FPS. This compression at higher resolutions is a classic sign of GPU saturation. The CPU’s influence diminishes as resolution increases, and the RTX 2060 becomes the primary factor determining performance. For users targeting 1080p or 1440p, the CPU matters more for achieving the highest frame rates. For 4K, the GPU is the deciding component.
