Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals how this hardware scales across resolutions and settings. Beginning with 1920x1080, the system produces an average of 337 FPS on Low settings, which drops to 311 FPS on Medium (with a recorded range of 264 to 357 FPS), then to 230 FPS on High, and finally 219 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 118 FPS, indicating that even the most demanding preset at 1080p leaves substantial performance headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decrease predictably but remain exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 302 FPS, Medium averages 264 FPS (ranging from 225 to 304 FPS), High averages 165 FPS, and Ultra averages 157 FPS. The difference between 1080p and 1440p at Ultra settings is 62 FPS, showing a moderate impact from the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops further but never approaches the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings yield an average of 208 FPS, Medium averages 166 FPS (with a range of 141 to 191 FPS), High averages 104 FPS, and Ultra averages 99 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a 120 FPS reduction, yet the system still maintains nearly 40 FPS of headroom above the playability threshold at the most demanding configuration. The data indicates that resolution scaling is more impactful than preset changes; for instance, switching from 1080p High to 1440p High costs 65 FPS, while switching from 1440p High to 4K High costs 61 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside, and the data confirms it does so with extraordinary margin. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 3840x2160, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 99 FPS. At 2560x1440, every preset also clears the 60 FPS bar, with Ultra averaging 157 FPS. At 1920x1080, the best settings are again Ultra, delivering 219 FPS on average. In no tested configuration does the system fall below 99 FPS average, which means the RTX 4070 and Ryzen 5 7400F provide a locked and smooth experience at 60 FPS and beyond in all scenarios. The lowest recorded minimum frame rate across all Medium presets is 141 FPS at 4K, which is still more than double the playability threshold. For a game released in 2016, this hardware is vastly overqualified, but the numbers show it handles the load without breaking a sweat.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 839th out of 3,716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the top 22.6% of all configurations tested, which is notable given the game’s low graphical demands. The rank reflects that while the hardware is powerful, many other combos—particularly those with higher-end GPUs or more recent processors—achieve even higher frame rates. The 839th rank suggests that for Inside, this combo is solidly above average but not at the extreme top of the leaderboard. Since the game is not demanding, the rank is likely influenced more by raw GPU throughput than by CPU capabilities, as even mid-range CPUs could push high frame rates in this title. The RTX 4070’s 81st percentile standing among GPUs and the CPU’s 83rd percentile both contribute to a pairing that easily outpaces the majority of systems, but the rank indicates there are over 800 combos that perform better, likely featuring GPUs like the RTX 4080 or RX 7900 series.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is the Ultra setting, and the measured averages show no preset fails the threshold. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 99 FPS, which is the best possible quality at that resolution while remaining 39 FPS above the 60 FPS target. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 157 FPS, offering a significant margin over the playability line while delivering maximum visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 219 FPS, providing the highest quality with massive headroom. In every case, the system can run the game at its highest settings without any concern for frame drops below 60 FPS. The data suggests that users could even opt for higher internal resolutions or supersampling, but within the tested presets, Ultra is the clear choice for all three resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The interplay between CPU and GPU in Inside becomes evident when examining the scaling patterns across resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the average FPS ranges from 219 (Ultra) to 337 (Low), a spread of 118 FPS. This wide range indicates the GPU is the primary limiter, as lowering settings from Ultra to Low produces a 54% increase in frame rate. At 1440p, the same preset change yields a gain from 157 to 302 FPS, a 92% increase, showing that GPU load is even more dominant at higher resolutions. At 4K, the Low to Ultra spread is 109 FPS (208 to 99), representing a 110% improvement, further confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck.

However, the CPU’s role cannot be dismissed entirely. The Ryzen 5 7400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides ample single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,072) to avoid bottlenecking the GPU even at 337 FPS in 1080p Low. The fact that the frame rate increases from 1080p Low to 1440p Low (337 to 302 FPS) shows a modest drop, but the system maintains over 300 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed the GPU effectively. At 4K, the CPU is even less relevant, as the GPU’s pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor—the 4K Ultra average of 99 FPS is only 55% of the 1080p Ultra average of 219 FPS, demonstrating that resolution scaling is entirely GPU-bound. For this game, the GPU is the dominant component at all resolutions, but the CPU’s high single-core score ensures it never becomes a limiting factor, even at the lowest preset where frame rates approach 340 FPS.
