How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2087 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside. This places the pairing in the upper 44th percentile of all tested CPU-GPU pairings in this game. The CPU, scoring in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU, in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, together form a system that clearly outperforms the majority of combinations in the database for this specific title.

The ranking relative to other combos makes sense given the game's modest graphical demands. Inside is a puzzle platformer, and the recorded frame rates show this hardware is nowhere near its limits at any resolution. The combo's rank of 2087, while not near the top of the database, still reflects a system that produces very high frame rates in this title. The 3716 total combos tested include far more powerful modern hardware, which explains the mid-pack ranking despite the excellent playability. What matters more than the raw rank is that this combo clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested, including 4K Ultra.

The ranking also reveals an interesting detail: the CPU and GPU are not evenly matched in terms of their database percentiles. The CPU sits 18 percentile points higher than the GPU. This mismatch suggests that upgrading the GPU would likely improve performance more than upgrading the CPU in this game, since the CPU is already well above the GPU in relative standing. However, the recorded frame rates show that no upgrade is necessary for Inside, as the GPU alone delivers far more than enough performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals which component dominates performance in Inside. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 147 FPS, while at 2560x1440 it drops to 106 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it falls to 67 FPS. This scaling pattern, a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K, is characteristic of GPU-bound workloads. The CPU, with its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072 and multi-core score of 21765, provides ample processing power to feed the GPU at all tested resolutions.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings grows as resolution decreases. At 4K, Low averages 140 FPS and Ultra averages 67 FPS, a difference of 73 FPS. At 1080p, Low averages 310 FPS and Ultra averages 147 FPS, a difference of 163 FPS. This widening gap at lower resolutions indicates that the GPU has more headroom to respond to settings changes when the pixel count is lower, further confirming that the GPU is the primary performance driver.

The CPU's role becomes more prominent at lower resolutions where frame rates are extremely high. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 310 FPS average, a frame rate where CPU processing overhead can become significant. The Ryzen 5 7400F's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3689 Passmark single-thread score, keeps the system from being CPU-limited even at these high frame rates. The CPU's 12 threads and 6 cores also handle the game logic, physics calculations, and draw call submission all contribute to maintaining these high frame rates without becoming a bottleneck.

At 4K resolution, the GPU's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 9.062 TFLOPS FP32 performance become the limiting factors. The RTX 2070 SUPER, with its 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units, processes the higher pixel count at 3840x2160 with less headroom, resulting in the 67 FPS Ultra average. This is still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, but the performance scaling clearly shows the GPU working harder at this resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For users considering hardware that would behave similarly to the Ryzen 5 7400F, the database's nearest rivals provide useful comparisons. The Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707, a mere 0.1% higher average, making it virtually indistinguishable in synthetic benchmarks. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697, within 0.2% lower, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812, 0.2% higher than the 7400F. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 rounds out the group with a 32662 score, 0.3% higher.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2070 SUPER's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, which scores 20480, 1% lower average. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2% higher average, while the Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3% higher average benchmark score. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5% higher average. In practice, swapping between any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, with all of them landing within a tight performance envelope of the RTX 2070 SUPER.

The close clustering of CPU rivals around the 7400F, with all four within 0.3% of each other, suggests that any of these processors would deliver the same experience in this game. The CPU's high percentile ranking means it has substantial headroom over all tested presets in Inside, so the small differences between these rivals would not be noticeable in actual gameplay. Similarly, the GPU rivals' tight grouping means the 1.5% spread between them would translate to negligible differences of only a few FPS in Inside's already high frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving an average of 67 FPS. High settings average 70 FPS, Medium averages 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and maximum of 129 FPS, and Low reaches 140 FPS. All four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, but Ultra is the best choice for maximum visual quality while still maintaining 67 FPS average.
