CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals the relative contribution of the CPU and GPU in this game. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 282 FPS on Low settings, which is exceptionally high and indicates the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at a rapid pace. The fact that Ultra settings still produce 134 FPS at this resolution shows that even the most demanding settings do not fully saturate the hardware.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the average frame rates drop proportionally. Low settings fall from 282 to 203 FPS, a 28% reduction, while Ultra falls from 134 to 97 FPS, a 28% reduction as well. This uniform scaling suggests the GPU is becoming the limiting factor, as the resolution increase directly impacts the GPU's workload while the CPU workload remains constant.

At 3840x2160, the scaling becomes more pronounced. Low settings drop to 127 FPS from 203 FPS at 1440p, a 37% reduction. Ultra settings drop to 61 FPS from 97 FPS, a 37% reduction. This consistent percentage drop across all settings indicates that the GPU is now the dominant bottleneck, as the CPU has ample headroom to process the game logic regardless of resolution.

The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU plays a more significant role, as the high frame rates require fast instruction processing. At 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU, and at 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The fact that the system maintains playable frame rates at all resolutions and settings demonstrates that neither component is severely underpowered for this game, but the GPU determines the upper ceiling at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

This system can run Inside with full confidence at all tested resolutions and settings. The verdict by resolution confirms that every configuration is playable, with the best settings being Ultra at each resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings average 134 FPS, providing a massive buffer above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 97 FPS, still offering substantial headroom.

The only configuration near the limit is 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, which averages 61 FPS. While this meets the playable threshold, the margin is narrow, and users seeking consistent frame rates at 4K may prefer High settings, which average 64 FPS. For the vast majority of players using 1080p or 1440p displays, this system delivers exceptional performance with no compromises needed.

The data shows a hardware combination that is well-balanced for this game. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking and the GPU's 57th percentile ranking combine to produce results that exceed expectations for the system's overall position in the benchmark database. The ranking of 2500 out of 3716 configurations places this system in the upper third, confirming that it is more capable than most tested hardware for Inside. Players can expect smooth, responsive gameplay at any resolution, with the only consideration being whether the slim 4K Ultra margin is acceptable or if High settings provide a more comfortable experience.
