Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a Puzzle Platformer released on 2016-07-06. Benchmark data shows the combination clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested, with average frame rates ranging from 126 FPS at 4K Ultra to 306 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured results indicate this system is vastly overqualified for the game's demands, making it a top-tier performer in the database.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 126 FPS. The High preset runs at 133 FPS average, Medium at 212 FPS, and Low at 235 FPS. All four settings comfortably exceed the 60 FPS threshold, so the Ultra preset is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality at 4K.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again qualifies as the best setting, delivering an average of 201 FPS. The High preset reaches 211 FPS, Medium hits 253 FPS, and Low tops out at 275 FPS. Since every option stays far above 60 FPS, users can select Ultra without any performance concerns.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset provides an average of 232 FPS, making it the optimal choice. The High setting runs at 236 FPS, Medium at 283 FPS, and Low at 306 FPS. The data shows that even the most demanding settings at 1080p produce frame rates more than three times the playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal that the GPU is the dominant component in this pairing, though the CPU provides ample headroom. At 3840x2160, scaling from Low to Ultra reduces average FPS from 235 to 126, a drop of 109 FPS or approximately 46%. This significant reduction indicates the rendering load at 4K is substantial, but the RTX 4080's 16 GB GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth handle it with ease.

At 2560x1440, the same preset scaling shows a narrower range: Low produces 275 FPS while Ultra produces 201 FPS, a difference of 74 FPS. The relative consistency across settings suggests the GPU remains the primary bottleneck even at lower resolutions, as the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads from the Zen 3 architecture are sufficient to feed the graphics card.

Moving to 1920x1080, the spread from Low (306 FPS) to Ultra (232 FPS) is 74 FPS, identical in absolute terms to the 1440p delta. This pattern indicates that the CPU begins to play a more notable role at 1080p, where the GPU's raw power is less taxed. The Ryzen 5 5600GT's boost clock of 4.60 GHz and 16 MB L3 cache help maintain high frame rates, but the RTX 4080's 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is clearly the limiting factor at all resolutions.

The Medium preset data provides additional insight: at 4K, Medium averages 212 FPS with a minimum of 181 and maximum of 244; at 1440p, Medium averages 253 FPS with a minimum of 215 and maximum of 291; at 1080p, Medium averages 283 FPS with a minimum of 240 and maximum of 325. These numbers show that resolution scaling has a measurable impact on frame rates, confirming the GPU's central role in performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured frame rates are as follows: High averages 133 FPS, Low averages 235 FPS, Medium averages 212 FPS with a minimum of 181 FPS and maximum of 244 FPS, and Ultra averages 126 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data, showing a 63 FPS spread between its lowest and highest recorded frames.

For 2560x1440, High averages 211 FPS, Low averages 275 FPS, Medium averages 253 FPS with a minimum of 215 FPS and maximum of 291 FPS, and Ultra averages 201 FPS. The Medium preset here demonstrates a 76 FPS range, slightly wider than at 4K, which indicates more frame time variability at the lower resolution.

At 1920x1080, High averages 236 FPS, Low averages 306 FPS, Medium averages 283 FPS with a minimum of 240 FPS and maximum of 325 FPS, and Ultra averages 232 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p shows an 85 FPS range, the largest of any resolution tested, suggesting that the CPU's role in frame pacing becomes more pronounced when the GPU is less saturated.

Across all resolutions, the Ultra preset consistently delivers the lowest average frame rates: 126 FPS at 4K, 201 FPS at 1440p, and 232 FPS at 1080p. The Low preset consistently delivers the highest: 235 FPS at 4K, 275 FPS at 1440p, and 306 FPS at 1080p. The data shows a clear monotonic relationship between preset quality and performance at every resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores provide context for its performance. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20802, which is 0.3% lower than the Ryzen 5 5600GT's average benchmark score of 20733. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20821, 0.4% higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U scores 20826, also 0.4% higher. The AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20845, 0.5% higher. These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these CPUs would produce virtually identical frame rates in Inside when paired with the RTX 4080.

The GPU's nearest rivals show similar parity. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54209, just 0.1% higher than the RTX 4080's average benchmark score of 54247. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, 1.1% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, 2.6% higher, and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, 2.7% higher. In practical terms, swapping the RTX 4080 for any of these alternatives would yield frame rates within a few percentage points, meaning all would maintain 60 FPS at every resolution and preset in Inside.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside at maximum settings with massive performance headroom. At 3840x2160, all four presets (High, Low, Medium, Ultra) are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at 126 FPS average. At 2560x1440, all presets are playable, with Ultra achieving 201 FPS average. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra reaching 232 FPS average.

The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the lowest recorded average across all tests is 126 FPS at 4K Ultra. Even the minimum FPS values, where available, stay well above 60: the lowest minimum is 181 FPS at 4K Medium. This data confirms that the system never approaches the playability boundary, regardless of resolution or settings.
