Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers overwhelming performance in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer that is far from demanding by modern standards. The measured data shows this combination crushes every preset at every resolution tested, with average frame rates that exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold by a massive margin—even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K produces nearly double the required frame rate. This is a system that will never break a sweat running this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data for this combination covers three resolutions—1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160—each tested across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. All figures represent average FPS; no minimum or maximum frame time data was recorded in this dataset.

At 1920x1080, the results are astronomical. The Low preset hits an average of 352.1 FPS, which is the highest number recorded across the entire test matrix. Medium drops slightly to 322.2 FPS, while High maintains 254.5 FPS. The Ultra preset, which typically imposes the heaviest load, still delivers 244.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a performance reduction of roughly 30% from the peak, but even the lowest figure here is over four times the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern remains similar but with a predictable step down. Low preset averages 313.7 FPS, Medium comes in at 292.2 FPS, and High produces 181.4 FPS. Ultra at this resolution delivers 176.8 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is notably larger here—a drop of about 110 FPS—suggesting that High settings introduce significantly more shading or geometry work than Medium. Still, every preset clears 60 FPS by at least a factor of two.

At 3840x2160, the 4K results are the most telling for this hardware. Ultra settings average 109.2 FPS, which is just shy of double the playable threshold. High settings yield 117.8 FPS, Medium climbs to 186.1 FPS, and Low reaches 232.6 FPS. The delta between High and Medium at 4K is roughly 68 FPS, mirroring the behavior seen at 1440p where Medium is substantially faster than High. Notably, the Ultra preset at 4K is only about 7% slower than High, indicating that the extra effects in Ultra are not particularly expensive in this engine.

The overall trend across all resolutions is that this combo is GPU-bound at higher settings but still has enormous headroom. The CPU, a 6-core Zen 4 part with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, is never a bottleneck here—the frame rates scale smoothly with resolution, which is the classic signature of a GPU-limited scenario. The RTX 4070 SUPER, with its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth, has no trouble feeding the render pipeline even at 4K Ultra.

Best Settings per Resolution

Given that the playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS average, the best settings at each resolution are simply the most demanding preset that stays at or above that number. In every case, that is Ultra.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 244.1 FPS. This is the maximum visual quality available, and it runs at a frame rate high enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor. There is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 176.8 FPS. This is still far above 60 FPS and provides a smooth experience on 144Hz or even 165Hz displays. The gap between Ultra and High here is only about 5 FPS (176.8 vs 181.4), so choosing Ultra costs almost nothing in performance while delivering the best image quality.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 109.2 FPS. This is the only resolution where the frame rate dips below the 120 FPS mark, but it still comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. For a 60Hz 4K display, this is perfect; for a 120Hz 4K panel, it is borderline but workable. The data shows that High settings at 4K only add 8.6 FPS over Ultra (117.8 vs 109.2), which is not worth the visual downgrade.

In summary: run Ultra everywhere. This hardware combo has so much headroom in Inside that compromising settings is pointless.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals in overall GPU benchmarks?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 43223, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, scores 43262, which is only 0.1% higher. The RTX 4090 Mobile is 1% higher at 43667.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 7500F compare to similar CPUs in synthetic tests?

A: The CPU has an average benchmark score of 24964, putting it in the 77th percentile. Its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, scores 25005 (0.2% higher), while the Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 (0.1% lower). The differences are negligible.

*Q: Is this system overkill for Inside given its age?*

A: The data suggests yes. The game released in 2016, and this 2023/2024 hardware delivers 244.1 FPS at 1080p Ultra. The bottleneck is clearly the game's engine, not the hardware. However, for players who want to use high refresh rate displays or future-proof for other titles, this headroom is beneficial.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components gives a clear picture of what other hardware would behave nearly identically in Inside.

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24964 on average. Its closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F with a score of 25005, which is just 0.2% higher—effectively a tie. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 (0.1% lower), and the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911 (0.2% lower). The Intel Core 5 210H trails at 24872, a 0.4% deficit. In a game like Inside, which is far from CPU-intensive, any of these processors would produce identical frame rates. The differences are within measurement noise and would never manifest as a playable difference.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has an average score of 43223. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43262, which is 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268 (0.1% higher), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43301 (0.2% higher). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is the outlier at 43667, still only 1% higher. All of these GPUs would produce nearly identical results in Inside at the settings tested. The Quadro cards are workstation parts, but their raw rasterization performance is comparable. The RTX 5050 Mobile and RTX 4090 Mobile are laptop parts, which means their desktop equivalents would likely perform slightly better due to thermal headroom, but the delta remains small.

In practical terms, a system with any of these rival CPUs paired with any of these rival GPUs would deliver frame rates within 1-2% of what is measured here. For Inside specifically, the playable verdict would be identical: Ultra settings at all resolutions.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside with maximum settings at every resolution tested. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous:

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 244.1 FPS. This is more than four times the 60 FPS playable threshold. Even the lowest-performing preset (Ultra) is far beyond what any standard display needs.

At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 176.8 FPS. This clears 60 FPS by nearly triple. The frame rate is high enough for 144Hz gaming monitors without any compromise in visual quality.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 109.2 FPS. This is just under double the playable threshold, making it ideal for 60Hz 4K displays. It would also work well on 120Hz 4K panels, though it would not fully saturate that refresh rate.

The data shows that this combination never drops below 109.2 FPS in any tested configuration. The playable settings list for every resolution includes all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—meaning there is no configuration that fails the 60 FPS test. The recommendation is straightforward: enable Ultra settings and enjoy the game without any performance concerns.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader context of all tested hardware combinations for Inside, this pairing ranks 479th out of 3716 total combos. That places it in the top 13% of all systems tested for this game, which is consistent with the hardware's strong but not top-tier benchmark scores.

The CPU sits in the 77th percentile of all processors, and the GPU sits in the 83rd percentile of all graphics cards. The combo ranking of 479 is slightly lower than the individual component percentiles would suggest, which is likely because Inside is so undemanding that even much weaker GPUs can hit high frame rates, compressing the performance curve at the top end.

The rank of 479 out of 3716 means there are 478 combinations that score higher in this game. Those would be systems with more powerful GPUs (like the RTX 4090 or comparable) or CPUs with higher single-thread performance. However, the practical difference is minimal—a higher-ranked combo might achieve 260 FPS at 4K Ultra instead of 109.2 FPS, but both are far beyond the playable threshold. For the vast majority of users, this ranking is more than sufficient, and the hardware is clearly not the limiting factor in Inside.

The data confirms that this is a high-performing combination that handles Inside with extreme ease. The only scenario where a higher rank would matter is if you are chasing 240Hz or 360Hz refresh rates at 4K, which is an extreme use case that this game does not demand.
