Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, with all results representing average frame rates. At 1920x1080, the lowest preset (Low) produces 307.2 FPS. Moving to Medium yields 267.8 FPS, a 39.4 FPS drop. High settings average 168.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 160.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 146.9 FPS reduction, indicating that the Ultra preset is roughly 48% more demanding than Low.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues. Low settings average 238.8 FPS, Medium averages 188.5 FPS, and High averages 117.9 FPS. Ultra at 1440p averages 114 FPS. The jump from Medium to High at 1440p is the steepest single-step decline, dropping 70.6 FPS from 188.5 to 117.9. From High to Ultra, the decline is only 3.9 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns between these two presets.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates remain high but show a more compressed range. Low settings average 148 FPS, Medium averages 118.7 FPS, High averages 75.3 FPS, and Ultra averages 74.5 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 0.8 FPS, making these presets nearly identical in performance cost. The transition from Low to High at 4K reduces the average from 148 to 75.3 FPS, a 72.7 FPS drop, but every preset still clears the 60 FPS threshold.

The data reveals that resolution scaling has a significant impact. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average from 307.2 to 238.8 FPS (a 22.3% decrease), and moving from 1440p to 4K reduces it from 238.8 to 148 FPS (a 38% decrease). At Ultra settings, the progression is 160.3 FPS at 1080p, 114 FPS at 1440p, and 74.5 FPS at 4K, representing a 53.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K. These numbers indicate that Inside is highly scalable, but the RTX 4060 has enough headroom to maintain playable frame rates even at the most demanding combination tested.

The Verdict

The verdict is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset tested, exceeding the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. At 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 74.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra averaging 114 FPS. At 1920x1080, the system achieves a staggering 160.3 FPS at Ultra settings, making it more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate displays.

The data shows that even the most demanding scenario—4K Ultra—produces an average frame rate that is 14.5 FPS above the playable threshold. For a game like Inside, which features a dark, atmospheric art style and precise platforming mechanics, the consistent frame rates at all settings mean players can prioritize visual fidelity without any performance penalty. There are no settings that fall below the 60 FPS threshold, eliminating the need for any compromise.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1939 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the upper half of all systems tested, though not at the very top. The percentile ranking reflects the fact that the RTX 4060, while capable, is not the highest-end GPU in the database, and the 5600GT is a mid-range processor. However, for this particular game, the rank is more than adequate given the measured performance.

The combination’s position in the rankings suggests that many systems with more powerful components achieve higher frame rates, but the practical difference is negligible at the levels measured. At 1080p Ultra, the 160.3 FPS average is already beyond the refresh rate of most displays, and even at 4K Ultra, the 74.5 FPS average is well within playable territory. The rank of 1939 out of 3716 indicates that roughly 47.8% of tested combos perform better, but the real-world impact is minimal for Inside because the game is not particularly demanding.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 74.5 FPS. This is the best choice for maximum visual quality at 4K, as the lower presets (High at 75.3 FPS, Medium at 118.7 FPS, Low at 148 FPS) either offer negligible gains or reduce quality without meaningful performance benefits. The 0.8 FPS difference between High and Ultra at 4K makes Ultra the clear choice.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best setting, averaging 114 FPS. This provides a 54 FPS margin above the threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay even during demanding scenes. The next best alternative, High, averages 117.9 FPS, but the 3.9 FPS difference is not worth sacrificing the visual enhancements of Ultra.

At 1920x1080, Ultra remains the best setting with an average of 160.3 FPS. This is more than 100 FPS above the threshold, providing ample headroom for any potential frame drops. The data shows that the system is so powerful at 1080p that even the most demanding preset cannot challenge it.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Inside. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the significant frame rate scaling across presets. Low settings produce 307.2 FPS, while Ultra produces 160.3 FPS, a 146.9 FPS difference that is entirely attributable to GPU workload. The CPU’s role is less critical at this resolution, as the 5600GT’s single-thread score of 913 (3dmark_single_thread) and multi-thread score of 5554 (3dmark_max_threads) are sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s output.

At 2560x1440, the GPU’s dominance becomes more pronounced. The frame rate at Ultra drops to 114 FPS, a 28.9% reduction from 1080p Ultra, while the Low preset drops from 307.2 to 238.8 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is working harder at higher resolutions, but the CPU still has headroom, as the frame rates remain extremely high.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost entirely responsible for performance. The Ultra preset averages 74.5 FPS, which is 53.5% lower than at 1080p. The Low preset drops to 148 FPS, a 51.8% reduction. The CPU’s influence is minimal at this resolution because the GPU is the limiting factor. The 5600GT’s 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, provide more than enough processing power for the game’s physics and logic, which are not computationally intensive.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: the GPU scales with both resolution and preset, while the CPU maintains a stable performance floor. The data indicates that for Inside, the RTX 4060 is the component that determines frame rates, and the Ryzen 5 5600GT is never a bottleneck. Players seeking higher frame rates should focus on GPU settings, while CPU upgrades would yield no tangible benefit for this title.
