Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a strong performance profile for Inside, a puzzle platformer released in 2016. Benchmark data shows this pairing is capable of high frame rates across most settings, with the only compromise appearing at 4K resolution on the most demanding presets. The measured frame rates indicate that the CPU, which sits in the 78th percentile of all tested processors, provides ample headroom, while the GPU, in the 65th percentile, becomes the primary factor at higher resolutions. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, optimal settings, and how this specific hardware pairing compares to other tested combinations.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average frame rate this combo achieves at 1920x1080?

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for the Medium preset across all resolutions?

A: At 1920x1080, the minimum FPS on Medium is 163. At 2560x1440, the minimum is 117 FPS, and at 3840x2160, the minimum is 74 FPS. These are the only presets with recorded minimum frame rate data.

Q: What is the combo's rank among all tested system combinations for this game?

A: This specific combination of CPU and GPU ranks 2983 out of 3716 total tested combinations. This places it in the lower half of all tested systems, despite achieving high frame rates in most scenarios.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS is the recommended starting point.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice. It achieves an average of 114 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. This provides the maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. The High preset also performs admirably at 120 FPS, but Ultra offers the highest fidelity while remaining far above the playable limit.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again delivers the best experience, with an average of 82 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS line, making it the optimal setting for this resolution. Lower presets are unnecessary for performance, as they all exceed the threshold, with High at 86 FPS, Medium at 138 FPS, and Low at 172 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Medium, which yields an average of 87 FPS. High settings drop to 54 FPS, and Ultra falls to 52 FPS, both below the threshold. Low settings run at 108 FPS but offer reduced visual quality. Therefore, Medium is the highest preset that provides a playable experience at 4K.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data from this benchmark reveals a clear shift in system bottleneck as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all presets, suggesting that the system is not heavily constrained by the GPU. The difference between Low (240 FPS) and Ultra (114 FPS) is substantial, but both are far beyond what the game requires. This indicates that the CPU has enough headroom to keep up with the GPU’s output at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern remains similar. The scaling from Low (172 FPS) to Ultra (82 FPS) shows a performance drop, but the absolute numbers are still very high. The GPU is starting to take on more responsibility, but the Ryzen 5 7600 is clearly not a limiting factor here. The 82 FPS average on Ultra is still a strong result.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant component. The performance curve steepens significantly, with Ultra (52 FPS) and High (54 FPS) failing to reach the 60 FPS target, while Medium (87 FPS) and Low (108 FPS) succeed. This sharp decline at higher presets is a classic sign of GPU saturation. The CPU’s role diminishes as the resolution increases, as the rendering load shifts entirely to the graphics card. The data shows that the Intel Arc B570 is the primary determinant of performance at 4K, while the CPU provides sufficient support at 1080p and 1440p.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2983 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This position, in the lower 20% of all systems, seems counterintuitive given the high frame rates measured. The ranking is relative to all tested hardware combinations, which may include systems with much more powerful GPUs that achieve even higher frame rates at 4K Ultra, or systems with specialized hardware that performs differently in this specific game.

The percentile scores for the individual components provide context. The CPU’s 78th percentile ranking indicates it is a high-performing processor compared to all others in the database. The GPU’s 65th percentile ranking shows it is above average but not in the top tier. When combined, their overall standing in the game-specific benchmark is lower, suggesting that other system configurations, perhaps with more powerful graphics cards, dominate the top spots for Inside. Despite the rank, the measured FPS data confirms that this combo delivers a smooth experience in nearly all tested scenarios.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals for each component, several alternative hardware combinations would likely produce very similar results in Inside.

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX is the closest match, with an average benchmark score just 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i9-11900KF is also nearly identical, at 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U is 0.5% higher. Any of these processors paired with the Intel Arc B570 would yield nearly identical frame rates, as the CPU is not the bottleneck at the resolutions tested.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is the nearest rival, with a score 0.1% lower. The Intel Arc A750 is also a very close alternative, scoring 0.1% higher. The AMD Radeon R9 M390X and NVIDIA Quadro M4000M are further away, with score differences of 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. Swapping the Arc B570 for an RTX 3070 Mobile or an Arc A750 would result in a negligible performance change, meaning the overall gaming experience at each resolution and preset would be almost indistinguishable.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at a playable frame rate in the vast majority of configurations.

At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 114 FPS, making it the definitive choice for a smooth and visually rich experience.

At 2560x1440, the system also achieves playable frame rates on all presets. The Ultra preset runs at an average of 82 FPS, which is well above the target. This resolution offers a great balance between visual fidelity and performance.

At 3840x2160, the system is partially playable. The Low (108 FPS) and Medium (87 FPS) presets are above the 60 FPS threshold. However, the High (54 FPS) and Ultra (52 FPS) presets fall short. For a 4K experience, the Medium preset is the recommended maximum, providing a solid 87 FPS average.

The verdict is clear: this combination is fully capable of running Inside smoothly at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and it can handle 4K with a reduction in settings to Medium.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table details the exact average, minimum, and maximum frame rates recorded for each resolution and settings preset.

1920x1080:

• Low: Average 240 FPS.
• Medium: Average 192 FPS, Minimum 163 FPS, Maximum 221 FPS.
• High: Average 120 FPS.
• Ultra: Average 114 FPS.
