Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. The benchmark data shows this system performs far above the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested, with even the most demanding Ultra settings at 4K producing 115.5 FPS average. The measured results indicate a system with substantial headroom, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays and future-proofing.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 115.5 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and the system still maintains nearly double the playable threshold, indicating that the 4K Ultra experience is not only smooth but also leaves considerable performance in reserve. Lowering to High yields 124.3 FPS, Medium 192.5 FPS, and Low 242.4 FPS, but none of these are necessary to achieve a fluid experience at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440 (1440p), the recommended maximum preset remains Ultra, with an average of 183.3 FPS. The gap between Ultra and High (192.4 FPS) is relatively small here, suggesting that the visual quality jump from High to Ultra costs only about 9 FPS, making Ultra the clear choice for users with 1440p monitors. Medium and Low presets hit 288.9 FPS and 312.9 FPS respectively, which are excessive for most displays.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the system again runs Ultra at 254.1 FPS average. This is the highest preset tested, and the frame rate is so high that the limiting factor becomes the display's refresh rate rather than the hardware. High produces 267 FPS, Medium 325.4 FPS, and Low 350.9 FPS, but with Ultra already exceeding 240 FPS, there is no practical reason to select a lower preset at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals a system that is heavily GPU-bound at lower settings but becomes more balanced as graphical load increases. At 1080p Low, the system produces 350.9 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 115.5 FPS, a reduction of roughly 67% from the peak. This steep decline with resolution suggests the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary performance driver, as the workload scales with pixel count.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, shows its strength in the low-resolution, high-frame-rate scenarios. The 1080p Low result of 350.9 FPS indicates the CPU can feed the GPU with enough data to sustain extremely high frame rates, even if those rates exceed typical display capabilities. The CPU's single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3218, is sufficient for this workload.

Preset scaling within a resolution further isolates GPU impact. At 4K, moving from Low (242.4 FPS) to Ultra (115.5 FPS) reduces performance by about 52%, a significant drop that points to the GPU's shader and memory subsystems handling the increased graphical complexity. The RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for the game's textures and effects at all settings.

At 1440p, the transition from Low (312.9 FPS) to Ultra (183.3 FPS) is a 41% decrease, while at 1080p the same transition (350.9 to 254.1 FPS) is only a 28% drop. This pattern confirms that the CPU becomes a larger relative factor at lower resolutions and higher frame rates, but in absolute terms, the Ryzen 5 7500F never becomes a bottleneck that prevents the system from exceeding 250 FPS at 1080p Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, which scores an average of 25005 in benchmarks, a slight 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 5 7500F's 24964 average. This indicates that swapping to the 8400F would yield virtually identical frame rates in Inside. The Intel Core i7-11850H (avg score 24935) trails by only 0.1%, while the Intel Core i7-13620H (24911) is 0.2% behind, and the Intel Core 5 210H (24872) sits 0.4% lower. All four processors are within a rounding error of each other, meaning any of these would produce indistinguishable performance in this game.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (avg score 45152) is 0.8% faster than the RTX 4070 Ti (44795), a difference so small that it would not translate into a noticeable FPS change. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (45384) is 1.3% higher, and the Intel Arc A730M (45592) is 1.7% higher, but these are workstation and mobile parts, respectively. The NVIDIA RTX A6000 (44075) is 1.6% slower. In practice, any of these GPUs would deliver frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 4070 Ti, making them suitable alternatives if availability or platform constraints arise.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside at 60 FPS and far beyond. The verdict data confirms that all resolutions and presets are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at every resolution. At 3840x2160, Ultra runs at 115.5 FPS, which is nearly double the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra delivers 183.3 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra achieves 254.1 FPS.

The system's rank of 415 out of 3716 tested combinations places it in the top 11% of all hardware configurations in this game, a strong showing that reflects its ability to handle the title with ease. The combination of the Ryzen 5 7500F's solid multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22799) and the RTX 4070 Ti's high-end rasterization capabilities (PassMark G3D score of 31624) creates a platform that exceeds the requirements of Inside by a wide margin.

For users with a 60 Hz display, this system will never drop below the threshold, even at 4K Ultra. For those with 120 Hz or 144 Hz monitors, the 1440p and 1080p results provide enough headroom to maintain maximum refresh rates without compromising visual quality.
