Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination delivers overwhelming performance for Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Measured data confirms that this pairing achieves playable frame rates at every resolution and preset combination tested, with the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K still producing an average of 76 FPS. The data indicates this hardware is far beyond what the game requires, offering headroom for high refresh rates and maximum visual fidelity.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this combo each have close rivals based on aggregated benchmark scores. For the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F, the nearest performance match is the Intel Core i5-14600T, which scores 32,707 compared to the 7400F’s 32,750, a negligible 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H sits slightly higher at 32,812, a 0.2% advantage, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H trails by 0.2% with a score of 32,697. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is also close at 32,662, just 0.3% behind. These four processors would deliver nearly identical gameplay performance in Inside, as the game is not heavily threaded and these score differences fall within measurement noise.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060’s nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary, which scores 26,553, a 0.8% delta from the RTX 5060’s 26,331 average. The AMD Radeon 860M and NVIDIA GeForce MX550 both score 26,401 and 26,421 respectively, each within 0.3% of the RTX 5060. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is slightly behind at 26,011, a 1.2% deficit. These GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Inside, though the RTX 5060’s modern architecture and driver optimizations may yield minor differences in specific scenarios.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Inside reveals an unusual pattern: the GPU is overwhelmingly dominant, and the CPU’s role is minimal at all resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 337 FPS, a figure that highlights the CPU’s ability to feed frames at high rates, but the scaling suggests that even a weaker processor would sustain playable performance. Moving from Low to Medium at 1080p drops the average from 337 to 284 FPS, a 15.7% reduction, which is caused by increased GPU workload. At Medium to High, the drop is 130, a 37.3% fall, and High to Ultra reduces frame rates from 178 to 169, a 5.1% decrease.

The scaling pattern changes with resolution. At 2560x1440, the spread between Low and Ultra is 122 to 255 FPS, with High at 128 FPS and Medium at 204 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra yields 76 FPS and Low produces 161 FPS. The relative scaling between presets is consistent across resolutions, confirming that the GPU is the primary performance factor. The CPU’s contribution becomes more important at low resolutions with high frame rates, but even at 1080p Low, the Ryzen 5 7400F sustains 337 FPS.

The data shows that the RTX 5060 is the limiting component across all tested scenarios. In Inside, the game’s simplistic visuals mean the CPU is never a bottleneck above 60 FPS, but at the very high frame rates, the CPU’s single-thread performance in the Cinebench R23 single-core test (score of 3,072) becomes relevant. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz are more than sufficient for this game, but the GPU’s raw fill rate and shading power determine the frame rate ceiling.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 169 FPS. The measured data shows that even the Ultra preset at 1080p remains far above the playable threshold of 60 FPS. For 2560x1440, Ultra again is the best choice, producing a 122 FPS average. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 76 FPS, which is still well above 60 FPS, so the Ultra settings are recommended at 4K as well.

The verdict data confirms that all presets at all resolutions are playable, with average frame rates never below 76 FPS. The minimum FPS is only recorded for Medium settings: at 1920x1080 the minimum is 242 FPS, at 2560x1440 it is 174 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it is 109 FPS. Even the lowest minimum frame rate is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no risk of stutter or drops below playability in any config. Given the data, the best settings per resolution are the highest visual quality, which is Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces an average of 337 FPS with no minimum or maximum recorded. Medium settings yield an average of 284 FPS, with a minimum of 242 and a maximum of 327. High settings average 178 FPS. Ultra settings average 169 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 168 FPS reduction, which is a 49.9% drop.

For 2560x1440, Low settings average 255 FPS, Medium averages 204 FPS with a minimum of 174 and a maximum of 235. High settings average 128 FPS, and Ultra averages 122 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 133 FPS, a 52.2% reduction. At 3840x2160, Low settings average 161 FPS, Medium averages a 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 and a maximum of 148, High settings average 80 FPS, and Ultra averages 76 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 85 FPS, a 52.8% decline.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each resolution step halves the frame rate when comparing Low settings. From 1080p Low at 337 FPS to 1440p Low at 255 FPS is a 24.3% reduction, and from 1440p to 4K Low drops by 36.9% to 161 FPS. The Ultra settings show a similar scaling, from 169 FPS at 1080p to 122 FPS at 1440p (a 27.8% drop) and then to 76 FPS at 4K (a 37.7% drop). This scaling indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and 8 GB of GDDR7 memory are sufficient for all resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ranks 1,597 out of 3,716 tested combos for Inside, placing it in the 43rd percentile of all tested hardware configurations. This ranking is lower than might be expected given the frame rates, because the game is not demanding and even mid-range hardware can hit high FPS. The Ryzen 5 7400F sits at the 83rd percentile for all CPUs, and the RTX 5060 is at the 72nd percentile for all GPUs, so the combo’s rank is dragged down by the fact that many other combos also achieve very high frame rates in this game.

The ranking reflects that this combo is well above the playable threshold, but not near the top tier for this game. Many combos with older or cheaper hardware can also run Inside at 1440p or 4K with high frame rates. The RTX 5060’s 8 GB of VRAM is not a factor at 4K, as the game’s visual complexity is low, and the CPU’s six Zen 4 cores provide ample performance for the game’s physics and logic.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at all tested resolutions and presets with frame rates far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 169 FPS, which is more than enough for smooth gameplay. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset still delivers 122 FPS, and at 3840x2160, the Ultra preset maintains 76 FPS. The verdict data lists all settings at all resolutions as playable, with the best setting being Ultra at every resolution.

The lowest measured average is 76 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still 26.7% above the 60 FPS threshold. The minimum frame rates recorded are 109 FPS at 4K Medium, indicating that even the least favorable frame times stay well above playability. The game is a puzzle platformer with relatively simple visuals, so the hardware is overkill, but the high frame rates allow for smooth motion and responsive controls. The only caveat is that the RTX 5060’s 8 GB of VRAM is not tested beyond this game, but for Inside, the memory capacity is more than sufficient. This combo is a clear pass for the game at any resolution, with the only limitation being the display’s refresh rate.
