Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

Inside is a lightweight puzzle platformer, but the recorded data shows that the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B370 combination produces widely varying frame rates depending on resolution and quality settings. The database includes measured average FPS for four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at three resolutions, with minimum and maximum values recorded only for the Medium preset.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 141 FPS, which is the highest average recorded across all configurations. Medium settings average 113 FPS, with a minimum of 96 FPS and a maximum of 130 FPS. High settings drop to 70 FPS average, while Ultra settings average 67 FPS. Even at the most demanding 1080p preset, the frame rate stays above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance declines noticeably but remains respectable. Low settings average 101 FPS, still well above the playable mark. Medium settings average 81 FPS, with a minimum of 69 FPS and a maximum of 93 FPS. High settings fall to 51 FPS average, which sits below the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings average 48 FPS, making both High and Ultra unplayable at this resolution according to the database's playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings average 64 FPS, barely clearing the 60 FPS line. Medium settings average 51 FPS, with a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 59 FPS. High settings average 32 FPS, and Ultra settings average 30 FPS. The data shows a steep drop-off as resolution increases, with the 4K Ultra result representing less than one-quarter of the 1080p Low average.

The Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values, which provides a useful consistency check. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 34 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the spread narrows to 24 FPS. At 4K Medium, the spread shrinks further to 16 FPS. This pattern suggests frame pacing becomes more consistent as resolution increases, even though the average frame rate declines.

Overall, the measured FPS data indicates this hardware combination is capable of smooth play at 1080p across all presets, at 1440p with Low or Medium settings, and at 4K only with Low settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination against all tested combos for Inside. The combo ranks 3422 out of 3716 tested configurations, placing it in the lower portion of the database. This rank of 3422 out of 3716 means approximately 92% of tested combos perform better in this game.

The low ranking is primarily attributable to the Intel Arc B370, which sits in the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database. This is a low-tier graphics solution, and Inside, despite being a lightweight title, still requires more graphics throughput than this GPU provides at higher resolutions and presets.

However, the rank does not tell the whole story. The CPU component, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, ranks in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, which is a strong position. The mismatch between a high-percentile CPU and a low-percentile GPU creates the specific performance profile seen in the measured FPS data: strong results at low resolution and low settings, but rapid degradation as resolution and quality increase.

The ranking also reflects that Inside is not a demanding game by modern standards. Many combos in the database achieve maximum frame rates at 1080p, which pushes this combo's rank down relative to systems with discrete mid-range or high-end GPUs. The data shows this combo is positioned for 1080p gaming, with 1440p possible at reduced settings, and 4K only at the lowest quality level.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F provide context for CPU-side comparisons. The Intel Core i7-11850H has an average benchmark score of 24935, which is 0.1% ahead of the Ryzen 5 7500F's average score of 24964. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005, placing it 0.2% ahead. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, 0.2% behind. The Intel Core 5 210H scores 24872, 0.4% behind. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Inside when paired with the same GPU.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are older, lower-end graphics solutions. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher than the Arc B370's 1184 average. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. These comparisons show the Arc B370 performs in line with graphics hardware from over a decade ago, which explains its 5th percentile ranking.

The practical implication is that swapping the Ryzen 5 7500F for any of its nearest CPU rivals would yield virtually identical frame rates in Inside, since the game is not CPU-bound at the tested settings. Swapping the Arc B370 for any of its nearest GPU rivals would also produce similar results, since the performance deltas are all within 1.4%. A user with any of these alternative components could expect the same playability profile: 1080p across all presets, 1440p at Low or Medium, and 4K only at Low.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals which component dominates performance for Inside at each resolution. The Arc B370 is clearly the limiting factor, as evidenced by the dramatic frame rate drops when resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo averages 141 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 101 FPS, a 28% reduction. At 4K Low, it falls to 64 FPS, a 55% reduction from 1080p. These scaling patterns are characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the graphics processor cannot maintain throughput as pixel count rises.

The CPU's role is less prominent but still relevant. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, provides ample processing power for a puzzle platformer like Inside. The game's CPU demands are modest, so the processor is unlikely to bottleneck even at 1080p with high frame rates. The 141 FPS result at 1080p Low suggests the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently at lower resolutions.

The settings scaling further confirms GPU dominance. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 141 FPS to 67 FPS, a 52% drop. At 1440p, the same settings change reduces the average from 101 FPS to 48 FPS, a 52% drop. At 4K, Low averages 64 FPS and Ultra averages 30 FPS, a 53% drop. The consistency of this percentage drop across resolutions indicates that quality presets affect the GPU workload uniformly, independent of resolution.

The resolution scaling tells a clearer story about the GPU's limits. At Ultra settings, the average drops from 67 FPS at 1080p to 48 FPS at 1440p to 30 FPS at 4K. Each resolution step roughly halves the pixel count, and the frame rate responds proportionally. This linear scaling is typical for a GPU that is running near its maximum capacity even at lower resolutions.

The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, combined with the GPU's 5th percentile ranking, makes the division of labor clear. The Ryzen 5 7500F is more than adequate for this game, while the Arc B370 constrains performance at every resolution above 1080p Low. Upgrading the GPU would yield significant frame rate improvements, while upgrading the CPU would produce negligible gains in Inside.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B370 combination can run Inside, but the playable configurations are limited. The database's verdict by resolution provides a clear picture.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, with an average of 64 FPS. This is the best setting for 4K, and it barely clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, making them unsuitable for smooth play.

At 2560x1440, both Low and Medium settings are playable. Medium is the best option, averaging 81 FPS with a minimum of 69 FPS. High and Ultra average 51 FPS and 48 FPS respectively, both below the threshold.

At 1920x1080, all four presets clear 60 FPS. Ultra averages 67 FPS, High averages 70 FPS, Medium averages 113 FPS, and Low averages 141 FPS. Ultra is the best setting, providing the highest visual quality while maintaining 60 FPS.

The verdict is straightforward: this system is a 1080p machine for Inside. It handles every preset at that resolution, offers a playable Medium preset at 1440p, and dips to Low only at 4K. Gamers with 1080p displays can run the game at maximum quality. Those with 1440p monitors should use Medium settings for the best balance of quality and performance. 4K users must accept Low settings to stay above 60 FPS. The data does not support playable frame rates at 4K Medium or higher, nor at 1440p High or Ultra.
