Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Inside, a puzzle platformer with modest hardware demands. The benchmark data shows that this pairing not only clears the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution and preset, but also provides substantial headroom for high refresh rate displays at lower resolutions. The recorded framerates indicate that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary driver of performance, with the Ryzen 5 7400F providing ample processing power to avoid bottlenecking at any setting.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combination produces frame rates that range from playable to exceptionally smooth. The Low preset yields an average of 127 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 102 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. The High preset records an average of 63 FPS, and the Ultra preset sits at exactly 60 FPS on average. This means that even at 4K resolution, the most demanding preset stays right at the playability threshold, while lower presets provide a significant buffer.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales impressively. The Low preset reaches an average of 202 FPS, while Medium averages 162 FPS with a minimum of 137 FPS and a maximum of 186 FPS. High settings produce an average of 101 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 96 FPS. At this resolution, every preset offers a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, with the Ultra preset providing nearly 40 FPS of headroom over the minimum playability line.

The 1920x1080 results show the full potential of this hardware pairing. Low settings average 281 FPS, far beyond what most displays can even refresh. Medium settings average 225 FPS with a minimum of 191 FPS and a maximum of 259 FPS. High settings produce 141 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 134 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the combination is effectively limited by the display refresh rate rather than by the hardware itself, making it ideal for high refresh rate gaming.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this CPU and GPU pairing at rank 2556 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This puts the setup in the lower half of all recorded configurations, which makes sense given that the RTX 2060 SUPER is an older GPU, while the Ryzen 5 7400F is a recent budget-oriented processor. However, the ranking does not reflect the actual gameplay experience, since the game itself is not particularly demanding and the measured frame rates are universally above 60 FPS.

The percentile data for the individual components provides context. The Ryzen 5 7400F sits in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, indicating strong overall processing performance. The RTX 2060 SUPER, by contrast, is in the 62nd percentile among all GPUs, which is a more modest position. For a game like Inside, the GPU still has enough compute power to handle the highest settings at 4K, and the CPU has more than enough headroom to feed it frames at every resolution.

The combination's rank of 2556 out of 3716 suggests that many other pairings outperform it in raw benchmark terms, but those rankings often reflect more powerful GPUs. For this specific game, the measured data shows that the hardware clears the playability threshold in every scenario, which is the more relevant metric for a potential buyer.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal that the GPU is the dominant factor in Inside, especially at higher resolutions. The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, frame rates drop proportionally, which is the classic signature of a GPU-bound workload. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 134 FPS, while at 1440p Ultra it drops to 96 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it falls to 60 FPS. This consistent decline with resolution indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting component at the highest settings.

The CPU plays a supporting role that becomes more visible at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average of 281 FPS demonstrates that the Ryzen 5 7400F can feed the GPU with an enormous number of frames without bottlenecking. The 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 processor with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz has more than enough single-thread performance for a puzzle platformer, which typically relies on a single primary thread for game logic.

The transition between presets also highlights the GPU's influence. At every resolution, the jump from Low to Medium produces a noticeable frame rate drop, as does the jump from High to Ultra. The CPU's role remains constant across these transitions, which suggests that the graphics pipeline, not the processor, determines the final output. For a game like Inside with its stylized visuals and limited physics simulation, the CPU is rarely the constraint.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset combination tested, with no exceptions. The verdict data confirms that all four settings at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080 are marked as playable, meaning they all clear the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings at 4K are Ultra with an average of 60 FPS, which is exactly at the playability line. At 1440p, Ultra averages 96 FPS, and at 1080p, Ultra averages 134 FPS.

For a 4K display, the Ultra preset is technically playable, but the 60 FPS average leaves no room for dips. The Medium preset at 4K, with an average of 102 FPS and a minimum of 86 FPS, is a safer choice for maintaining smooth motion. At 1440p and 1080p, there is no reason to compromise on settings, as even the most demanding preset provides well over 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is closely matched by several processors. The Intel Core i5-14600T has an average score of 32707, just 0.1% lower than the Ryzen's 32750. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is 0.2% behind, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is 0.2% ahead. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is 0.3% behind. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, and any of these CPUs would deliver essentially identical performance in Inside when paired with the RTX 2060 SUPER.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is the closest rival with an average score of 18159, which is 0.4% lower than the RTX 2060 SUPER's 18093. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 is 0.5% lower, the AMD Radeon RX 460 is 1.5% lower, and the Intel Arc A770M is 1.6% lower. These deltas are small, meaning that swapping the RTX 2060 SUPER for any of these cards would produce frame rates within a few percent of the recorded values. In practical terms, a system with any of these CPU and GPU combinations would deliver a very similar experience in Inside.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages exactly 60 FPS. However, the Medium preset offers a more comfortable experience with an average of 102 FPS and a minimum of 86 FPS, making it the recommended choice for consistent smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the clear choice, averaging 96 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold while delivering the highest visual quality. The High preset at 101 FPS is nearly identical in performance, so either setting works well.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 134 FPS, which is both the best visual quality and well above the playability threshold. There is no reason to lower settings at this resolution, as the hardware has ample headroom. The Medium preset at 225 FPS is available for users with very high refresh rate displays, but the Ultra preset is the recommended default.
