Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is an overwhelmingly powerful combination for running Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. Benchmark data shows this system delivers exceptionally high frame rates across every tested resolution and preset, with the RTX 5080's raw graphics horsepower ensuring that even at 4K Ultra, the game runs far above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The CPU, which ranks in the 77th percentile among all tested processors, provides more than enough single-thread and multi-thread performance to prevent any bottleneck in this title, which is not particularly demanding on modern hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a consistent pattern of extremely high performance, with the lowest average frame rate recorded still being more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160 (4K) resolution, the system demonstrates remarkable capability across all four tested presets. With High settings, the average FPS is 138, which is already well above what most users would consider smooth gameplay. Moving to Medium settings at 4K, the average FPS climbs to 220, with a minimum of 187 and a maximum of 253, indicating excellent frame time consistency even during demanding scenes. Low settings at 4K push the average to 269 FPS, while Ultra settings, which are typically the most demanding, still deliver an average of 131 FPS. The data shows that even the most graphically intensive configuration at the highest resolution tested does not stress this hardware combination.

At 2560x1440 resolution, performance scales as expected, with every preset delivering frame rates that would be considered overkill for most displays. High settings produce an average of 219 FPS, while Low settings reach 314 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p yields an average of 290 FPS, with a minimum of 246 and maximum of 333, showcasing both high performance and stability. Ultra settings at this resolution deliver 209 FPS on average, which is still far above the threshold where any display would struggle to show all the frames being rendered.

The 1920x1080 results are the highest of all tested configurations, which is logical given the lower pixel count. High settings at 1080p average 270 FPS, Low settings reach 351 FPS, and Medium settings hit 324 FPS with a minimum of 275 and maximum of 372. Ultra settings at 1080p average 265 FPS, which is only slightly lower than the High preset due to the increased graphical load. Across all resolutions and presets, the minimum FPS values recorded only appear in the Medium settings data, and even those minimums are dramatically above the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting the system rarely, if ever, experiences noticeable frame drops.

The scaling between resolutions is particularly telling. Comparing Medium settings across the three resolutions, the average FPS drops from 324 at 1080p to 290 at 1440p, then to 220 at 4K. This represents a roughly 10% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a further 24% decrease from 1440p to 4K, which is consistent with the increasing pixel count and the GPU's ability to handle the load. The RTX 5080's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth ensure that memory bandwidth is never a limiting factor, even at 4K with Ultra settings.
