Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is an extreme overkill configuration for Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. The benchmark data shows this combo ranks in the 89th percentile of all CPUs and the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, and against other tested combos in this game it sits at rank 405 out of 3,716. This places it comfortably in the top 11% of all systems tested, which for a game with relatively modest visual demands translates into frame rates that far exceed any practical display refresh rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 405 out of 3,716 tested systems places this configuration in the top 10.9% of all combinations evaluated for Inside. This is a strong result, though not the absolute top — there are 404 other combos that score higher. Given the hardware involved, that ranking is less about the game's demands and more about the sheer ceiling of the components. The CPU's average benchmark score of 44,573 puts it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU's average score of 79,842 places it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. Together, they form a system that is dramatically faster than what Inside requires, which is reflected in the measured FPS data.

The data indicates this combo is not bottlenecked in any meaningful way at any resolution tested. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 320 FPS average; at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, it still holds 143 FPS average. The gap between the best and worst measured settings is roughly 2.2x, which is relatively narrow for a game of this type. This suggests the CPU and GPU are both operating well within their limits, and the performance ceiling is likely constrained by the game engine itself rather than the hardware. For context, the CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H, scores only 0.2% higher on average, while the GPU's nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, scores 0.3% higher — these are negligible differences that would not produce any observable change in Inside's frame rates.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K with maximum settings?*

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combo achieves an average of 143 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdict data lists Ultra as the best settings at this resolution, with that 143 FPS average.

*Q: What is the highest average FPS this combo can produce in Inside?*

A: The highest measured average is 320 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. The Medium preset at the same resolution also delivers 296 FPS average, with a minimum of 251 FPS and a maximum of 340 FPS.

Q: Is there any resolution or setting where this combo drops below 60 FPS?

A: No. Every tested resolution (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and every settings preset (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) maintains an average FPS above 60. The lowest measured average is 143 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Q: How does the RTX 5090 compare to its nearest rival in raw performance?

A: The RTX 5090 has an average benchmark score of 79,842, which is 0.3% higher than the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605) and 1.1% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940). The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X scores 1.4% higher at 80,959.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 7500X3D compare to its nearest rival in CPU benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 7500X3D averages 44,573 in benchmark scores. The Intel Core i5-14600 scores 44,889, which is 0.7% higher. The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (44,466) and Intel Core i9-13950HX (44,342) are 0.2% and 0.5% lower, respectively.

*Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for this combo in Inside?*

A: The minimum FPS data is only provided for Medium settings. At 1920x1080 Medium, the minimum is 251 FPS; at 2560x1440 Medium, it is 225 FPS; and at 3840x2160 Medium, it is 193 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, though min/max values are only available for Medium settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset yields an average of 320 FPS, which is the highest recorded for any configuration. Medium at 1080p averages 296 FPS with a minimum of 251 and a maximum of 340. High at 1080p averages 246 FPS, and Ultra at 1080p averages 242 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 78 FPS, indicating that even the most demanding preset retains nearly 76% of the performance of the least demanding preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, Low averages 287 FPS, Medium averages 265 FPS (min 225, max 305), High averages 221 FPS, and Ultra averages 217 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 70 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low averages 246 FPS, Medium averages 227 FPS (min 193, max 261), High averages 150 FPS, and Ultra averages 143 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 143 FPS is notable — it is still more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold, showing that resolution scaling has a modest effect on this combo.

The pattern across resolutions is consistent: Medium settings always deliver a higher average than High, and High delivers slightly higher than Ultra. This suggests that the High and Ultra presets introduce effects that are more demanding than Medium, but the delta is small — at 4K, Ultra is only 7 FPS slower than High. The min FPS data at Medium settings shows that even the worst-case frame times remain far above 60 FPS, with the lowest recorded minimum being 193 FPS at 4K Medium.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rival data, the CPU and GPU each have close competitors that would produce nearly identical performance in Inside. For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-14600 scores 0.7% higher on average (44,889 vs 44,573), making it a marginally faster alternative. The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (44,466) and Intel Core i9-13950HX (44,342) are 0.2% and 0.5% slower, respectively. These differences are within noise for a game like Inside; any of these CPUs paired with the RTX 5090 would deliver frame rates within a few FPS of each other.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X scores 1.4% higher (80,959 vs 79,842), which is the only rival that outperforms the RTX 5090 in average benchmark score. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605) and 12 GB (79,396) are 0.3% and 0.6% slower, while the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940) is 1.1% slower. In practical terms, swapping the RTX 5090 for any of these GPUs would change Inside's frame rates by less than 2%, which is imperceptible at the 143-320 FPS range this combo produces.

The key takeaway is that this combo is so far above Inside's requirements that any of the listed rivals would perform identically in terms of playability. All of them would clear 60 FPS at every resolution and preset. The choice between these alternatives would be driven by other games or workloads, not by Inside.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 242 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available at this resolution, and it runs at more than four times the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best setting, achieving an average of 217 FPS. This is 3.6x the 60 FPS threshold, leaving substantial headroom for any future driver updates or background processes.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the best setting with an average of 143 FPS. This is 2.4x the playable threshold, meaning even the most demanding configuration at 4K runs comfortably above 60 FPS. The data shows that at every resolution, the Ultra preset is playable, and there is no need to drop to High or Medium to maintain smooth frame rates.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside flawlessly. The verdict data lists all settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — as playable at every resolution tested. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 242 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best, averaging 217 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 143 FPS.

The 60 FPS playable threshold is cleared by a wide margin in every scenario. The lowest average FPS recorded across all tests is 143 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still more than double the threshold. The minimum FPS data, available for Medium settings, shows the lowest recorded frame time is 193 FPS at 4K Medium — even the worst-case frame pacing stays far above 60 FPS.

For practical purposes, this combo is overkill for Inside. The game will run at maximum settings with frame rates limited only by the display's refresh rate. If using a 144 Hz monitor at 4K, the 143 FPS average at Ultra will saturate it nearly perfectly. At 1080p or 1440p, the frame rates exceed 240 FPS, which is beyond the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D and RTX 5090 combination is not the top-ranked combo for this game — rank 405 of 3,716 — but the ranking reflects the extreme upper end of hardware, not any deficiency. In absolute terms, this system delivers a flawless experience for Inside.
