Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination ranks 983rd out of 3716 tested combos for Inside, placing it in the top 26.5% of all tested systems. This is a strong position for a game that launched in 2016, as the hardware is clearly modern enough to handle the title's demands without strain. The percentile ratings back this up: the RTX 4070 sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT sits at the 74th percentile among all CPUs. In practical terms, this combo is not merely playable — it is overkill for most scenarios, with every measured frame rate at every resolution and preset clearing the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 983 out of 3716 tested combos means roughly 73.5% of all tested systems are slower in this game. That is a comfortable position, though not a top-tier one — Inside is not a demanding title, so even mid-range hardware can score well. The data shows this pairing is firmly in the upper quartile, which suggests it will handle the game with substantial headroom. What is more telling than the raw rank is the consistency: across all 12 measured configurations (three resolutions times four presets), the lowest average FPS recorded is 97.5 at 4K Ultra. Even the most stressful setting never dips below 97 FPS, which means the combo is never close to the 60 FPS playability threshold. This rank reflects a system that is bottlenecked by nothing in this particular game; it simply delivers high frame rates everywhere.

CPU and GPU Roles

For Inside, the GPU is the dominant factor, but the CPU is not irrelevant. Looking at the scaling from 1080p to 4K at the same preset tells the story. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 307.8 at 1920x1080 to 209.3 at 3840x2160 — a 32% reduction. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 219.3 at 1920x1080 to 97.5 at 3840x2160 — a 55.5% reduction. This larger percentage drop at higher settings indicates that the GPU is being pushed harder as resolution increases, which is typical. However, the absolute frame rates are so high that the CPU never becomes a limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 5600GT's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, are more than sufficient for a puzzle platformer like Inside. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are likewise never taxed. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 307.8 vs 219.3 FPS — a 28.7% difference — which shows the GPU is doing more work at higher presets, but the CPU keeps pace without issue. The data suggests the RTX 4070 is the primary driver of performance differences between presets, while the CPU provides a stable foundation that never introduces a bottleneck.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 219.3 FPS. This is the highest visual quality available, and it still delivers over three times the playability threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra again is the best choice, running at 156.8 FPS. The drop from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 62.5 FPS, or 28.5%, which is substantial but still leaves enormous headroom. At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the recommended preset with an average of 97.5 FPS. This is the only resolution where the frame rate dips below 100 FPS, but 97.5 FPS is still 62.5% above the 60 FPS threshold. In every case, the most demanding preset is fully playable, so there is no reason to compromise on visual fidelity. If a player has a 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitor, they might prefer High settings at 4K (102.7 FPS) or Medium at 4K (167.4 FPS) to push frame rates higher, but the data shows Ultra is the best quality setting that stays above 60 FPS at all resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT has an average benchmark score of 20733. The closest competitor is the Intel Core i5-12490F, with an average score of 20802, which is 0.3% faster. The Intel Xeon 6325P (20821, 0.4% faster), Intel Core Ultra 5 125U (20826, 0.4% faster), and AMD EPYC 7J13 (20845, 0.5% faster) are all within half a percent. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would perform identically in Inside, as the game is not CPU-bound at these frame rates. For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 has an average score of 37648. The nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628, 0.1% slower), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, 0.4% slower), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, 1.3% faster), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37157, 1.3% slower). The RTX 4080 Mobile is the only one that is notably faster, but even that 1.3% delta would translate to a negligible FPS difference in Inside. A system with the Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with an RX Vega 56 or Tesla P4 would deliver nearly identical frame rates to the RTX 4070 configuration. The RTX 4070's advantage is more apparent in heavier titles, but for Inside, the delta between these rivals is effectively invisible.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K with maximum settings?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combo delivers an average of 97.5 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Q: What is the highest frame rate this combo can achieve?

A: The highest measured average is 307.8 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. At 1080p Ultra, it still achieves 219.3 FPS.

Q: How much performance is lost when going from 1080p to 4K?

A: At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 219.3 at 1920x1080 to 97.5 at 3840x2160, a reduction of 55.5%. At Low settings, the drop is from 307.8 to 209.3, a 32% reduction.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The GPU is the primary factor, as shown by the larger FPS drops at higher presets when resolution increases. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads at up to 4.60 GHz are never a bottleneck, given the game's low thread demands.

Q: How does this combo compare to using an RTX 4080 Mobile instead?

A: The RTX 4080 Mobile has an average GPU benchmark score of 38135, which is 1.3% higher than the RTX 4070's 37648. In Inside, this would translate to roughly 1-3 FPS difference, which is imperceptible.

Q: What is the lowest FPS recorded across all tested settings?

A: The lowest average FPS is 97.5 at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings. No measured configuration drops below 97 FPS on average.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside, and it does so with extraordinary headroom. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 3840x2160, the best playable settings are Ultra with an average of 97.5 FPS; at 2560x1440, Ultra runs at 156.8 FPS; and at 1920x1080, Ultra runs at 219.3 FPS. Every resolution and every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, with the lowest result being 97.5 FPS at 4K Ultra. The data indicates that this combination is not just playable — it is overkill for the game. If the goal is maximum visual quality, the player can max out everything at any resolution and still have frame rates suitable for high-refresh-rate displays. At 1080p, the 219.3 FPS Ultra result means even a 240 Hz monitor could be saturated, though a 144 Hz display would be fully utilized at 4K Ultra. The RTX 4070's 12 GB VRAM and the Ryzen 5 5600GT's solid single-thread performance (Geekbench single-core score of 1843) ensure that even future patches or mods are unlikely to cause issues. The only caveat is that this hardware is massively over-provisioned for a 2016 puzzle platformer, so the purchase is justified only if the same system is also used for more demanding titles. For Inside specifically, the answer is a definitive yes at every setting and resolution tested.
