CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that Inside presents minimal challenge to either component in this pairing, but the performance scaling across resolutions and presets provides insight into where each component's headroom lies. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates range from 271 FPS at Ultra to 358 FPS at Low. Moving to 2560x1440, the corresponding figures are 243 FPS at Ultra and 321 FPS at Low. At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 153 FPS at Ultra and 275 FPS at Low.

The resolution scaling indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more relevant as pixel count increases, but the overall pattern is one of extreme abundance. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces average frame rates by roughly 7-11% across presets (e.g., 275 to 247 FPS on High), while moving from 1440p to 4K produces a more substantial drop of approximately 35-38% (e.g., 247 to 160 FPS on High). This larger drop at 4K suggests the RTX 5090 D's rendering workload scales with pixel throughput, yet even the most demanding configuration leaves substantial performance on the table.

The CPU's role appears minimal, given that even at 1080p Low—where the GPU has the least work—the Ryzen 5 7600 sustains 358 FPS. The 3DMark benchmarks for the CPU show a single-thread score of 999 and a max-thread score of 6503, indicating strong single-core performance that is well-suited to the game's logic. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 44065 and its 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs further confirm that neither component is stressed by Inside's modest requirements.

The fact that Ultra presets at every resolution remain far above 60 FPS suggests that the game's settings scale primarily with GPU resources, particularly at 4K where the 153 FPS Ultra result still represents nearly 2.5 times the playable threshold. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs, combined with 6 cores and 12 threads, is more than sufficient for a puzzle platformer of this era. The data shows no scenario where either component becomes a limiting factor, as even the lowest recorded minimum frame rate of 216 FPS (4K Medium) exceeds the playable threshold by 156 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average frame rate of 271 FPS. This represents the highest visual quality option available in the test set, and the system clears the playable threshold by 211 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is again Ultra, with an average frame rate of 243 FPS. This is 183 FPS above the playable threshold, indicating substantial headroom even at this higher resolution.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average frame rate of 153 FPS. This remains 93 FPS above the playable threshold, meaning the system can run the game at maximum settings at 4K without any concern for frame rate drops below playability.

Across all three resolutions, the Ultra preset is the recommended setting, and the data shows no scenario where the player would need to sacrifice visual quality for performance. The worst-case configuration—4K Ultra—still delivers an average frame rate that is more than double the playable threshold.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside with exceptional ease. According to the verdictByResolution data, all four tested settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at every resolution from 1920x1080 through 3840x2160. The best settings at each resolution are consistently Ultra, with average frame rates of 271 FPS at 1080p, 243 FPS at 1440p, and 153 FPS at 4K.

The system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a minimum of 93 FPS (at 4K Ultra) and by as much as 298 FPS (at 1080p Low). There is no resolution or preset combination in the data where the frame rate approaches the playability limit. The verdict is unambiguous: this hardware combination provides a fully playable experience at maximum settings across all tested resolutions, with enough performance headroom to handle any additional demands the game might impose in more complex scenes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data provides a complete picture of performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 358 FPS, Medium averages 330 FPS with a minimum of 281 FPS and maximum of 380 FPS, High averages 275 FPS, and Ultra averages 271 FPS. No minimum or maximum values are recorded for the Low, High, or Ultra presets at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 321 FPS, Medium averages 296 FPS with a minimum of 252 FPS and maximum of 340 FPS, High averages 247 FPS, and Ultra averages 243 FPS. As with 1080p, only the Medium preset has recorded minimum and maximum values.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 275 FPS, Medium averages 254 FPS with a minimum of 216 FPS and maximum of 292 FPS, High averages 160 FPS, and Ultra averages 153 FPS. The Medium preset again provides the only paired minimum and maximum values.

The data shows a consistent pattern: average frame rates decrease as resolution increases, with the most pronounced drop occurring between 1440p and 4K. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution—at 1080p the difference is 87 FPS (358 vs. 271), at 1440p it is 78 FPS (321 vs. 243), and at 4K it is 122 FPS (275 vs. 153). The Medium presets consistently offer a middle ground, with the 4K Medium result showing a minimum of 216 FPS, which remains well above the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination ranks 146th out of 3716 tested configurations for Inside, placing it in the top 4% of all tested hardware pairings. The rank reflects the extreme performance ceiling of the RTX 5090 D, which sits in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, paired with the Ryzen 5 7600 in the 78th percentile among all CPUs.

The high rank is unsurprising given the game's release date of 2016-07-06 and the modern hardware involved. The RTX 5090 D's average benchmark score of 77712, combined with the CPU's average benchmark score of 26324, produces a system that vastly exceeds the requirements of a puzzle platformer from this era. The 146th rank out of 3716 indicates that while there are 145 other combinations that score higher in this game, the overwhelming majority of tested systems (3570 combinations) perform worse. This places the combo in an elite tier, though the game's low demands mean that even significantly weaker hardware would likely achieve playable frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly in this game.
