Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the Intel Arc B370 delivers a wide range of performance in Inside, a Puzzle Platformer. The recorded data shows that this combination is highly capable at standard resolutions, though it struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with elevated settings. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance across all tested resolutions and presets, using only the recorded database values.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces its strongest results. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 141 FPS. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 113 FPS, with a minimum of 96 FPS and a maximum of 130 FPS. High settings yield an average of 70 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, still delivers an average of 67 FPS. All four presets at this resolution remain comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down predictably. Low settings produce an average of 101 FPS. Medium settings average 81 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 69 FPS and a maximum of 93 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 51 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings average 48 FPS. Only the Low and Medium presets clear the playable mark at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings are the only preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS, hitting 64 FPS. Medium settings average 51 FPS, with a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 59 FPS. High settings average 32 FPS. Ultra settings average 30 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is substantial, a 13 FPS difference, and the higher presets fall well short of smooth playability.

The data shows that the Intel Arc B370, an integrated graphics solution with a 25 W TDP, is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The Ryzen 5 5600X, a 65 W desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, provides ample computational headroom, but the GPU cannot sustain high frame rates when pixel count increases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the Intel Arc B370 becomes clear when examining performance scaling across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence on the ceiling, as frame rates are high enough that the processor's single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3dmark_single_thread score of 917, can keep up with the GPU's output. The 141 FPS average at Low settings suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take over as the primary constraint. The drop from 101 FPS at Low to 81 FPS at Medium, then to 51 FPS at High, demonstrates that the GPU's shading units, 1280 in total, and its 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are progressively overwhelmed. The CPU, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 11838, has no trouble feeding the GPU at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The 4K results show a steep decline from Low to Medium, and the High and Ultra presets both land near 30 FPS. The Arc B370's 20 ROPs and 40 TMUs are insufficient for the pixel fill and texture work required at 4K with high-quality settings. The CPU's role diminishes to near irrelevance at this resolution, as the GPU is saturated well before the processor's resources are fully utilized.

The scaling between presets reinforces this. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra costs 74 FPS on average, a 52% reduction. At 1440p, the same preset jump costs 53 FPS. At 4K, the Low to Ultra transition costs 34 FPS. The diminishing absolute difference at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is already struggling at the lowest preset, leaving less headroom to sacrifice when settings increase.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Ultra, which averages 67 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that remains at or above the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so with a small margin of 7 FPS. All other presets at this resolution also clear the threshold, but Ultra offers the highest visual quality while staying playable.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Medium, averaging 81 FPS. This provides a 21 FPS buffer above the threshold. High settings fall short at 51 FPS, so Medium is the ceiling for smooth performance at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the best playable preset is Low, averaging 64 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that clears 60 FPS, and it does so narrowly. Medium settings average 51 FPS, which is below the threshold, making Low the only viable option for 4K playability.

The verdict data confirms these choices: the database lists Low as the best 4K setting, Medium as the best 1440p setting, and Ultra as the best 1080p setting.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X provide context for its CPU performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800H has an average benchmark score of 21749, which is 0.1% higher than the 5600X's 21771 average. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U scores 21874, a 0.5% advantage over the 5600X. The Intel Core i7-11700 scores 21891, also 0.5% higher. The AMD EPYC 9554P scores 21899, a 0.6% lead. These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these processors would behave nearly identically to the 5600X when paired with the Arc B370 in Inside. The CPU is not the performance bottleneck in this configuration, so swapping among these rivals would not meaningfully change the measured frame rates.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Arc B370 tell a different story. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 has an average score of 1186, which is 0.2% higher than the Arc B370's 1184 average. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, a 0.5% lead. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, a 0.7% lead. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower than the Arc B370. These are all older, lower-performance GPUs, and their benchmark scores are nearly identical to the Arc B370. In practical terms, a system with any of these GPUs would produce frame rates very close to those recorded for the Arc B370 in Inside. The Arc B370's percentile rank of 5 among all GPUs highlights its position at the low end of the performance spectrum, and these rivals reinforce that assessment.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside, but the playable range depends entirely on resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, from 141 FPS at Low to 67 FPS at Ultra. This is the recommended resolution for this combination, as it allows the highest visual settings while maintaining smooth gameplay. At 2560x1440, the system is playable on Low and Medium, with Medium averaging 81 FPS. High and Ultra fall short at 51 FPS and 48 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, the system is only playable on Low, averaging 64 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K averages 51 FPS, which is below the threshold, and High and Ultra are not viable at 32 FPS and 30 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p supports all four presets, 1440p supports two presets, and 4K supports only one preset. The Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor, and its 5th percentile GPU ranking means users should expect low-end performance. The Ryzen 5 5600X, with its 75th percentile CPU ranking, is more than adequate for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3422 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This places the system in the lower percentile of all tested hardware pairings, which aligns with the GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking does little to lift the overall position, as the Arc B370's integrated graphics performance constrains the system. The combination is playable at 1080p on all presets and at 1440p on two presets, but the low overall rank reflects the GPU's inability to handle higher resolutions with demanding settings. For users targeting 1080p, this system performs adequately, but for higher resolutions, the data shows a clear ceiling.
