The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at 60 FPS or above in the majority of tested configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low at 283.6 FPS, Medium at 222.6 FPS, High at 137.9 FPS, and Ultra at 133.7 FPS — clear the threshold with substantial margin. At 2560x1440, the same is true: Low at 201.5 FPS, Medium at 161.6 FPS, High at 102.3 FPS, and Ultra at 94.4 FPS all remain playable.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is mixed. The Low, Medium, and High presets are playable, with frame rates of 128.4 FPS, 99.4 FPS, and 66 FPS respectively. The Ultra preset falls short at 59.5 FPS, just under the 60 FPS line. The verdict data identifies High as the best playable setting at 4K, with an average of 66 FPS. For users prioritizing visual fidelity at 4K, the High preset is the recommended choice, while those with 60 Hz displays may accept the marginal 59.5 FPS Ultra result.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rate differences between presets are largest, indicating that the GPU has significant headroom and the CPU is capable of feeding frames at very high rates. The 283.6 FPS Low result suggests the CPU can drive frame delivery well beyond typical display refresh rates. The 149.9 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution shows that GPU load is the primary determinant of performance, but the CPU is not a bottleneck even at the highest frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the frame rate spread between presets narrows to 107.1 FPS. The GPU is now working harder, but the CPU still has enough headroom to maintain high frame delivery. The Ultra preset's 94.4 FPS result indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution, as the CPU continues to deliver frames without constraint.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant performance factor. The spread between Low and Ultra narrows further to 68.9 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops below 60 FPS. This is a GPU-bound scenario, as the increased pixel count places a heavier load on the RTX 3060 Ti's shading units, TMUs, and ROPs. The CPU's role diminishes at this resolution, as its 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 5.10 GHz boost clock is more than sufficient for the game's computational demands.

The scaling pattern — where frame rates drop more sharply from 1440p to 4K than from 1080p to 1440p — confirms that the GPU is the primary performance driver in this title. The Ryzen 5 7600's high single-thread performance, evidenced by its 1852 Cinebench R23 single-core score, ensures it never becomes a bottleneck across any tested configuration.
