CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the GPU plays the dominant role in determining frame rates in Inside, particularly at higher resolutions. The RTX 5070's performance characteristics, including 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 compute and a 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, are far in excess of what this game requires. The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where frame rates scale into the 300+ range.

Examining the scaling between resolutions at the same settings provides insight into which component matters more. At Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 234 FPS at 1080p to 168 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 106 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). This progressive decline with increasing resolution is characteristic of GPU-bound workloads, as the pixel processing demand grows with each resolution step.

The settings scaling within a single resolution further confirms the GPU's importance. At 4K, moving from Low (222 FPS) to Ultra (106 FPS) reduces performance by 52%, which is a significant hit driven by increased shader and texture work. At 1080p, the same settings transition only reduces frame rates by 31% (from 337 to 234 FPS), suggesting that at lower resolutions the CPU becomes relatively more significant, though still not a limiting factor.

The CPU's benchmark scores support this interpretation. With a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072, the Ryzen 5 7400F provides ample processing power. The PassMark single-thread score of 3689 indicates strong per-core performance, which is important for games like Inside that may rely on single-threaded game logic. The fact that the system never drops below 151 FPS even at 4K Medium settings suggests that neither component is ever pushed to its limit.

The Verdict

This PC configuration can unquestionably run Inside at maximum visual quality across all tested resolutions. The verdict data confirms that all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at every resolution, with the best settings being Ultra at each:

• 3840x2160: Ultra runs at 106 FPS average, clearing the 60 FPS threshold by 76%. This is the most demanding configuration, yet it still delivers a buttery-smooth experience.
• 2560x1440: Ultra runs at 168 FPS average, providing a 180% margin above the playable threshold. This resolution offers the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate headroom.
• 1920x1080: Ultra runs at 234 FPS average, nearly four times the playable threshold. This is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays, as the system has massive frame rate reserves.

The data shows no scenario where this combination fails to meet the playable threshold. The lowest recorded average FPS across all tests is 106 (4K Ultra), and the lowest minimum FPS is 151 (4K Medium). Both are far above 60 FPS. Given the game's release date of July 2016 and its puzzle platformer genre, this modern hardware pairing provides an overwhelmingly powerful experience. Users should select Ultra settings at their preferred resolution with complete confidence, as the system will never approach the playable limit.
