Inside

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 deliver an exceptionally strong experience in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer that is far from demanding by modern standards. The benchmark data, measured across three resolutions and four quality presets, shows this combination never drops below 107 FPS even at the heaviest setting tested. This page breaks down the measured performance, component roles, and how this pairing compares to other tested configurations.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 4K (3840x2160), the Ultra preset remains fully playable, averaging 107.2 FPS. This is the most demanding configuration tested at this resolution, yet it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. The High preset runs at 110.6 FPS, Medium at 180.9 FPS, and Low at 224.9 FPS, but since Ultra already exceeds the playable threshold comfortably, it is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality.

Moving to 1440p (2560x1440), the Ultra preset averages 170.5 FPS. Every setting from Low through Ultra stays well above 60 FPS, with the spread ranging from 170.5 FPS at Ultra to 320.8 FPS at Low. The data indicates no need to compromise on quality here; Ultra is the clear pick for the best visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1080p (1920x1080), the Ultra preset hits 234.3 FPS on average. Even the lowest-performing setting at this resolution, Ultra, is more than three times the playable threshold. High runs at 247.7 FPS, Medium at 329 FPS, and Low at 356.1 FPS. Given the massive headroom, Ultra is the obvious choice, and the frame rates suggest this combination could drive much higher refresh-rate displays without issue.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals that the GPU is the primary performance driver, but the CPU also plays a notable role at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 121.8 FPS (356.1 vs 234.3), a 52% drop when moving to the highest quality preset. At 4K, the same preset transition yields a 117.7 FPS difference (224.9 vs 107.2), a 110% drop. This larger relative penalty at 4K indicates the GPU becomes increasingly saturated as resolution rises.

The resolution scaling at the Ultra preset tells a similar story: 234.3 FPS at 1080p drops to 170.5 FPS at 1440p (a 27% reduction) and further to 107.2 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). This consistent degradation with increasing resolution points to GPU-bound behavior. However, the CPU still matters: the Ryzen 5 7600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, posts strong single-threaded scores like 3910 in Passmark single-thread and 1852 in Cinebench R23 single-core, which helps maintain high frame rates at 1080p where the GPU has less work to do.

The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth provide ample resources for this game, which is not graphically intensive. The GPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all GPUs and its average benchmark score of 40377 suggest it has far more capability than Inside requires. Meanwhile, the CPU's 78th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 26324 show it is a solid mid-range part that keeps up with the GPU's output at every tested resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600's average benchmark score of 26324 is nearly identical to several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX scores 26274, a mere 0.2% difference, meaning it would produce virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Inside. The Intel Core i9-11900KF is similarly close at 26212 (0.4% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U at 26187 (0.5% delta) falls within the same performance envelope. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS is slightly ahead at 26402 (a -0.3% delta relative to the 7600), but again the difference is negligible for this game.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070's average benchmark score of 40377 places it alongside some unexpected rivals. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 40318 (0.1% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063 (0.8% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870 (-1.2% delta). The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile trails at 39568 (2% delta). These are professional-oriented cards with similar aggregate scores, but their real-world gaming performance could differ due to driver optimizations and architectural differences. Still, the data shows that any of these GPUs would deliver comparable average frame rates in Inside.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest quality setting that maintains at least 60 FPS at 4K?

A: The Ultra preset averages 107.2 FPS at 3840x2160, making it the most demanding setting that still exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four tested settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at 4K.

Q: How does performance scale from 1080p to 4K on the Ultra preset?

A: At Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops from 234.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 170.5 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 107.2 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating GPU-bound scaling.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as shown by the 110% performance drop from Low to Ultra at 4K versus a 52% drop at 1080p. However, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (3910 in Passmark single-thread) helps maintain very high frame rates at 1080p, where the GPU has less work.

Q: What other CPUs perform similarly to the Ryzen 5 7600?

A: The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX differs by just 0.2% in average benchmark score, while the Intel Core i9-11900KF is 0.4% behind and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U is 0.5% behind. All would produce nearly identical results in Inside.

Q: What other GPUs are close to the RTX 5070 in benchmark performance?

A: The AMD Radeon Pro 580 is 0.1% behind, the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is 0.8% behind, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is 1.2% ahead. The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile is 2% behind in average benchmark score.

*Q: Can this combination run Inside at maximum settings on a 4K display?*

A: Yes. The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 averages 107.2 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data confirms that all settings are playable at every resolution tested.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 356.1 FPS, the highest frame rate recorded in this test. Medium runs at 329 FPS, High at 247.7 FPS, and Ultra at 234.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 121.8 FPS, showing that quality settings have a significant but not overwhelming impact at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 320.8 FPS, Medium 285.7 FPS, High 178.7 FPS, and Ultra 170.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows slightly to 150.3 FPS, and the High-to-Ultra difference is just 8.2 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns at the top end.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 224.9 FPS, Medium 180.9 FPS, High 110.6 FPS, and Ultra 107.2 FPS. The Ultra preset is the lowest performer but still maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. Notably, the High and Ultra presets are nearly identical at 4K, with only a 3.4 FPS difference, while the jump from Medium to High costs 70.3 FPS.

Across all resolutions, the minimum and maximum frame rates are not provided in the data, so the analysis relies on average FPS figures. The consistent pattern shows that this hardware combination has substantial headroom for Inside, even at 4K with maximum settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination ranks 523rd out of 3716 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the top 14% of all configurations in the database. This rank reflects the pair's strong overall performance, though the game's low system requirements mean that even mid-range hardware can achieve high frame rates.

The CPU's 78th percentile among all CPUs and the GPU's 82nd percentile among all GPUs indicate that both components are above average in their respective categories. The combination's rank of 523 suggests that while many higher-end configurations exist, this pairing delivers performance that is more than sufficient for Inside's demands. The measured data shows no scenario where this combo struggles, with the lowest average FPS (107.2 at 4K Ultra) still nearly doubling the playable threshold.

Given the game's 2016 release date and its nature as a puzzle platformer, the performance here is unsurprising. The RTX 5070's Blackwell architecture and 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, combined with the Ryzen 5 7600's Zen 4 architecture and 6,570 million transistors, create a system that is dramatically overqualified for this title. The rank of 523 out of 3716 confirms that this is a high-performing combination, even if it is not at the very top of the leaderboard.
