Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a top-tier combination for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K gaming, and the data for Inside confirms this. This puzzle platformer, released in 2016, is not a demanding title by modern standards, yet the benchmark results reveal how this hardware stack absolutely dominates it. The measured FPS across all resolutions and presets are exceptionally high, with the lowest average frame rate still being more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold. This analysis breaks down the specific performance metrics, contextualizes the combo's ranking, and provides clear guidance on the best settings for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data for this combination shows a clear pattern of overwhelming performance. At 1920x1080, the lowest average FPS recorded is 255 at Ultra settings, while the highest average reaches 337 at Low settings. The Medium preset at this resolution yields an average of 311 FPS, with a minimum of 264 and a maximum of 357. High settings produce an average of 259 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 82 FPS, indicating that while the GPU is capable of massive frame rates, the preset still has a measurable impact.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 302 FPS, while High settings drop to 232 FPS. Medium settings average 278 FPS, with a minimum of 237 and a maximum of 320. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 228 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 74 FPS, slightly smaller than at 1080p, suggesting the resolution scaling is beginning to balance the load between CPU and GPU.

At 3840x2160, the performance is still far beyond what the game requires. Low settings produce an average of 258 FPS, while High drops to 160 FPS. Medium settings average 239 FPS, with a minimum of 203 and a maximum of 274. The Ultra preset yields an average of 153 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 105 FPS, which is the largest spread across all resolutions. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is working harder, and the preset choice has a more pronounced effect on the final frame rate.

The data reveals a consistent trend: the RTX 5090 D is the primary driver of these frame rates, but the CPU still plays a role in maintaining high minimums. The only recorded minimum FPS values are at Medium settings across all resolutions, with 264 at 1080p, 237 at 1440p, and 203 at 4K. These minimums are all significantly higher than the 60 FPS threshold, meaning there are no observable frame rate dips that would cause stutter or hinder gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D ranks 270th out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the top 7.3% of all configurations tested for this specific game. The percentile data for the individual components supports this high ranking. The CPU is in the 83rd percentile compared to all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 92nd percentile compared to all GPUs. This suggests that while the CPU is a strong performer, the GPU is the more exceptional component in this pairing.

The rank of 270 out of 3716 is particularly noteworthy because Inside is a game that likely does not stress modern hardware to its limits. The fact that this combo still ranks in the top percentile indicates that the hardware is not bottlenecking in any meaningful way. The high rank is a result of the sheer processing power available, which allows the game to run at frame rates that are far beyond what is necessary for smooth gameplay. The data implies that this combo is overkill for Inside, but it also means there is no scenario where this game would present a performance challenge.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly. The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F has an average benchmark score of 32750. Its closest rival is the Intel Core i5-14600T, with an average score of 32707, a delta of just 0.1%. Other close competitors include the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H at 32697 (0.2% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H at 32812 (-0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 at 32662 (0.3% delta). These CPUs are all within a fraction of a percent of each other in average benchmark scores, meaning that swapping the Ryzen 5 7400F for any of these would result in nearly identical performance in Inside.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D has an average benchmark score of 77712. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT at 76904 (1.1% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT at 78940 (-1.6% delta), and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB at 79396 (-2.1% delta). The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB is also close at 79605 (-2.4% delta). While these GPUs have similar average scores, it is important to note that the RTX 5090 D is a desktop part, while the Radeon RX 6650M XT and RX 6850M XT are mobile GPUs. The Tesla P100 is a data center part. Despite these differences, the benchmark data suggests that their performance in a game like Inside would be comparable, although the RTX 5090 D's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory is a significant advantage that these rivals do not have.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside at maximum settings with an enormous margin of safety. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at every tested resolution, from 1920x1080 up to 3840x2160. The 60 FPS threshold is cleared by a wide margin in every single configuration.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 255 FPS. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 228 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 153 FPS. These are not just playable scores; they are scores that would be considered exceptional for even the most demanding modern titles. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, this level of performance ensures that the game will run flawlessly, with no frame rate drops or stutters. The data shows that the user can simply set the game to the highest possible quality and never think about performance again.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component matters more for this game. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 82 FPS (337 to 255). This is a moderate impact, suggesting that the GPU is not being fully utilized at this resolution and the CPU is capable of feeding it frames quickly. At 2560x1440, the difference between Low and Ultra is 74 FPS (302 to 228). This is a smaller absolute difference, but the percentage change is similar. At 3840x2160, the difference between Low and Ultra is 105 FPS (258 to 153). This is the largest absolute difference, indicating that the GPU is becoming the more significant factor as the resolution increases.

The data implies that at 1080p and 1440p, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is sufficient to keep the RTX 5090 D well-fed, but the GPU is still the primary driver of frame rate changes when settings are adjusted. At 4K, the GPU's workload increases substantially, and the preset choice has a more pronounced effect on the final FPS. The CPU's role is to provide a stable foundation of high minimum frame rates, which it does admirably. The minimum FPS values at Medium settings across all resolutions are consistently high, showing that the CPU prevents any major frame rate dips.

Best Settings per Resolution

The best settings per resolution are defined as the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. According to the benchmark data, the Ultra preset is the best choice at all three resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 255 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it still provides over four times the necessary frame rate. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 228 FPS. The performance is slightly lower than at 1080p, but it is still exceptionally high. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 153 FPS. This is the lowest average FPS recorded for this combo, but it is still more than double the playable threshold.

The data shows that there is no reason to lower the settings on this hardware. The Ultra preset is the only choice for maximizing visual fidelity, and it provides a flawless experience at every resolution. The user can play Inside with all graphical options maxed out and enjoy a frame rate that is far beyond what is required for smooth, responsive gameplay.
