Q: Does the combo rank high overall for Inside specifically?

A: This combo ranks 2184 out of 3716 tested combinations in the database. That places it in the upper half of tested combos for Inside performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1080p, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra with an average FPS of 147.4. The recorded data shows a smooth curve across presets: High at 154.4 FPS, Medium at 248 FPS, and Low at 307.6 FPS. Every preset clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin.

At 1440p, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra with an average FPS of 104.4. High averages 109.1 FPS, Medium averages 177.9 FPS, and Low averages 221.6 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is small, only about 5 FPS, but Ultra remains the highest quality setting that still delivers well over 60 FPS.

At 2160p, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra with an average FPS of 66.4. High averages 69.9 FPS, Medium averages 113 FPS, and Low averages 139.8 FPS. The delta between High and Ultra is only about 3.5 FPS, so players at 4K can choose Ultra without worrying about dropping below the 60 FPS threshold, though the margin is tighter than at lower resolutions.

The pattern is clear: at every resolution, the system can run the highest visual quality preset while still maintaining at least 66.4 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is above 60 FPS but not by a huge amount, so it is the most demanding acceptable preset. At 1440p and 1080p, Ultra is even more comfortable, with 104.4 FPS and 147.4 FPS respectively.

CPU and GPU Roles

The game is a puzzle platformer, which tends not to demand raw frame throughput less than a heavy 3D shooter, but the resolution scaling still reveals where each component matters.

Look at the 1080p to 4K shift. At 1080p Ultra, the system averages 147.4 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it averages 104.4 FPS. At 2160p Ultra, it averages 66.4 FPS. That is a drop of about 43 FPS from 1080p to 1440p, then another 38 FPS from 1440p to 4K. The GPU is clearly the limiting factor at higher resolutions, since the same preset loses roughly half its frame rate when moving from 1080p to 4K.

The CPU side matters at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 307.6 FPS. At 1440p Low, it reaches 221.6 FPS. At 2160p Low, it reaches 139.8 FPS. The frame rates are high enough that the CPU is not a bottleneck in any practical sense, even at 4K Low, the system stays far above the playable threshold.

The scaling between presets shows the same story. At 1080p, Low to Ultra changes FPS from 307.6 to 147.4, a difference of 160 FPS. At 4K, Low to Ultra changes FPS from 139.8 to 66.4, a difference of 73 FPS. The GPU workload scales with resolution, and the relative cost of higher settings grows as resolution increases, so the GPU plays the dominant role.

The CPU has no trouble feeding the GPU. The Ryzen 5 7500F has a strong single-thread score, 974 in 3dmark single-thread and 3218 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and Inside is not a multi-threaded stress test. The GPU, RTX 2070 SUPER, has an average benchmark score of 20282 and sits at the 65th percentile, which is more than enough for this title. The recorded FPS values show that at 1080p and 1440p, the system is almost certainly GPU-bound at Ultra, while at 4K the GPU is clearly the limiting factor.

The verdict: the GPU is the main driver of performance differences across resolutions. The CPU is strong enough that it does not prevent the system from reaching high frame rates, even at 1080p Low where the game pushes over 300 FPS. For players who want higher frame rates, lowering the resolution helps more than lowering the settings, since the resolution scaling from 4K Ultra to 1080p Ultra more than doubles the average FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combos in the database, this system ranks 2184 out of 3716. That places it in the 59th percentile, meaning roughly 58% of tested combos perform worse. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, this is a comfortable position: the game is not demanding, and the combo lands in the upper half of all tested hardware pairings.

The ranking reflects a mid-range GPU paired with a strong modern CPU. The GPU percentile is 65, which is decent but not top-tier. The CPU percentile is 77, which is notably higher. Inside relies mostly on GPU throughput at higher resolutions, so the GPU's lower percentile matters more at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU can push frame rates high enough to mask GPU limitations in other games that are CPU-bound at lower settings.

The rank of 2184 is not a sign of weakness in Inside specifically. The measured FPS data shows the system clearing 60 FPS at every resolution and every preset, so the rank is simply a reflection of the hardware's overall performance profile across the database's test suite, not a reflection of any problem in this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU has nearest rivals that would produce very similar CPU performance in the database. The Intel Core i7-11850H has an average benchmark score of 24935, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 7500F's 24964. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F has an average score of 25005, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, 0.2% below, and the Intel Core 210H scores 24872, 0.4% below the Ryzen 5 7500F. All four CPUs are within a half a percent of the Ryzen 5 7500F, so swapping the CPU to any of these would barely change the frame rates in Inside at any resolution.

The GPU also has close rivals. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M has an average score of 20480, which is 1% below the RTX 2070 SUPER's 20282. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2% above, though it is a mobile part. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3% higher, and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5% higher. These deltas are all small, so a system with any of these GPUs would deliver nearly identical FPS in Inside.

If a user already owns a system with one of these CPUs and GPUs, the performance in Inside would be indistinguishable in practice. The differences are all under 2%, which translates to a few FPS at most. For example, at 4K Ultra, the RTX 2070 SUPER averages 66.4 FPS, and a GPU that is 1.5% faster would average around 67.4 FPS, which is not a meaningful difference in a game that runs smoothly regardless.

The key takeaway: the Ryzen 5 7500F and RTX 2070 SUPER are not unique in their performance class. Nearby hardware behaves very similarly, so the database results for this combo are representative of a broad set of comparable systems.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Inside at every resolution and every preset above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1080p, Ultra averages 147.4 FPS, High averages 154.4 FPS, Medium averages 248 FPS, and Low averages 307.6 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra averages 104.4 FPS, High averages 109.1 FPS, Medium averages 177.9 FPS, and Low averages 221.6 FPS. At 4K, Ultra averages 66.4 FPS, High averages 69.9 FPS, Medium averages 113 FPS, and Low averages 139.8 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, all settings are playable, and the best setting is Ultra at 66.4 FPS. At 2560x1440, all settings are playable, and Ultra at 104.4 FPS is the best. At 1920x1080, all settings are playable, and Ultra at 147.4 FPS is the best. There is no resolution where the system fails to maintain 60 FPS, even with the most demanding preset.

The only place where the margin is somewhat narrow is 4K Ultra at 66.4 FPS, which is just above 60 FPS. Players who want more headroom at 4K can drop to High, which gives 69.9 FPS, or stay at Ultra and accept the small margin. At 1440p and below, the system has plenty of headroom, with Ultra more than 40 FPS above the threshold at 1440p and more than 80 FPS above at 1080p.

The combo rank of 2184 out of 3716 confirms that this is not an unusually strong pairing, but the game itself is not demanding. The Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core Zen 4 processor with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz and a 77th percentile CPU score, while the RTX 2070 SUPER is a Turing GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 65th percentile GPU score. Together, they handle Inside without issue. The answer to the question is a straightforward yes: this PC runs Inside at maximum settings at all three resolutions, with frame rates that clear 60 FPS everywhere.
