Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a decisive performance class in Inside, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested setting across all three resolutions. This pairing is not merely sufficient; it is overwhelmingly so, with the data showing that even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K maintains an average of 72 FPS. The benchmark results indicate a system that is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions but capable of maintaining high refresh rates even at 4K, making it an excellent choice for this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

The performance headroom offered by this combo allows for the maximum visual fidelity at every resolution without compromising the 60 FPS target. The data shows that the most demanding preset, Ultra, remains comfortably above the playable threshold in all cases.

At 1920x1080, the system operates with immense headroom. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 159 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS target. This makes Ultra the clear best setting, as there is no performance penalty for choosing it. The 333 FPS average on Low shows the absolute ceiling of the hardware, but the 159 FPS on Ultra is still exceptionally high. Benchmark results indicate that users with 144Hz or even 165Hz monitors can fully utilize their display's capabilities at this resolution with all settings maxed.

At 2560x1440, the best setting remains Ultra, with a measured average of 114 FPS. This is a 28% reduction from the 1080p Ultra score, but it is still nearly double the 60 FPS threshold. The data confirms that the GPU is the primary scaling factor here, as the CPU overhead from the Ryzen 5 7400F is sufficient to keep the frame rate high. The 239 FPS average on Low further demonstrates that the system is not CPU-limited at this resolution either.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset still holds the crown as the best setting, achieving an average of 72 FPS. This is the only resolution where the frame rate drops below the triple digits on the highest preset, but it remains 20% above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data shows a clear scaling pattern: 150 FPS on Low, 120 FPS on Medium, 75 FPS on High, and 72 FPS on Ultra. The difference between High and Ultra is a mere 3 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional visual effects have a minimal cost at 4K. The verdict is clear: this combo can run Inside at maximum settings and 4K with a smooth, playable frame rate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a distinct shift in workload distribution across resolutions. At 1080p and 1440p, the system appears heavily GPU-bound, while at 4K, the GPU load becomes more pronounced, but the CPU still holds its own.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent 28-30% drop in average FPS across all presets. For instance, the Ultra preset drops from 159 FPS to 114 FPS, and the Low preset drops from 333 FPS to 239 FPS. This consistent percentage drop across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor, as its workload scales directly with pixel count. The Ryzen 5 7400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides more than enough processing power to feed the RTX 4060 at these resolutions. The CPU's high single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3072 score in Cinebench R23 single-core, is critical for maintaining high frame rates in a physics-based puzzle platformer like Inside.

When moving from 1440p to 4K, the scaling pattern changes slightly. The Ultra preset drops from 114 FPS to 72 FPS, a 37% reduction, while the Low preset drops from 239 FPS to 150 FPS, a 37% reduction as well. This similar scaling percentage suggests that the GPU is still the dominant constraint. However, the fact that the 4K Ultra score of 72 FPS is still well above 60 FPS indicates that the CPU is not bottlenecking the system. The data shows that the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's textures at 4K, as there are no signs of memory-related stutters in the min FPS values (102 FPS on Medium at 4K).

The role of the CPU becomes more apparent in the gap between High and Ultra settings. At all resolutions, the difference between these two presets is small (e.g., 75 FPS vs. 72 FPS at 4K). This suggests that the Ultra preset's additional draw distance and particle effects are more GPU-intensive than CPU-intensive. The Ryzen 5 7400F's architecture, built on the 5 nm process, ensures that it can handle the game's physics calculations and AI routines without creating a bottleneck, even at high frame rates.
