Inside

The short answer is yes, and comfortably so at almost every setting combination. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is a heavily CPU-loaded pairing for a 2016 puzzle platformer like Inside, and the measured data confirms the game barely stretches this hardware. At 1080p and 1440p, every preset from Low through Ultra clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with a wide margin. Only at 4K do the two top presets dip under target, and even there the fix is trivial.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All numbers below are measured average frame rates from the database.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 258.7 FPS
• Medium: 208 FPS
• High: 127.6 FPS
• Ultra: 122.6 FPS

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 185.1 FPS
• Medium: 147.6 FPS
• High: 92.3 FPS
• Ultra: 89.4 FPS

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 116.4 FPS
• Medium: 89.4 FPS
• High: 56.5 FPS
• Ultra: 53.2 FPS

Two patterns stand out. First, the spread between Low and Ultra at any given resolution is modest relative to what you see in AAA titles: at 1080p, dropping from Ultra to Low roughly doubles the frame rate (122.6 to 258.7), which tells you the game's heaviest effects are not that demanding to begin with. Second, resolution scaling is steep, which points at GPU-limited behavior at higher pixel counts. Going from 1440p Ultra (89.4 FPS) to 4K Ultra (53.2 FPS) costs roughly forty percent of the frame rate, a drop far larger than any CPU could cause on its own. The Ryzen 5 7600X does not run out of steam anywhere in this data; the RTX 2060 does at 4K on the top presets.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, at every resolution tested. At 1080p and 1440p, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) exceed 60 FPS. At 4K, Low (116.4 FPS) and Medium (89.4 FPS) exceed it, while High (56.5 FPS) and Ultra (53.2 FPS) fall slightly short.

Q: What is the best setting for 4K on this build?

A: Medium, at 89.4 FPS average. It is the most demanding preset that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold at 3840x2160. High misses the mark by a small margin at 56.5 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or the GPU the bottleneck?

A: The GPU. The Ryzen 5 7600X sits in the 79th percentile of all CPUs in the database with an average benchmark score of 27636, which is far more processor than a 2016 puzzle platformer needs. The RTX 2060, at the 58th percentile of GPUs with an average score of 15290, is the component that limits performance at 4K.

Q: How close is this CPU to its rivals, and does it matter for this game?

A: The Ryzen 5 7600X is statistically tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K (both within 0.2 percent), and essentially even with the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE and Ryzen 7 5800. Any of those chips would produce nearly identical results in Inside.

Q: Does the frame rate drop below playable at maximum settings anywhere?

A: Only at 4K. Ultra averages 53.2 FPS and High averages 56.5 FPS at 3840x2160, both under the 60 FPS threshold. Every other resolution and preset combination in the dataset is above it.

Q: How does this pairing rank for this specific game?

A: The database ranks it 2906 out of 3716 hardware combinations tested for Inside, meaning a large share of tested pairings run the game faster. That ranking reflects the modest position of the RTX 2060, not any weakness specific to this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

• 1920x1080: Ultra, 122.6 FPS average. Maximum settings with more than double the playable threshold in headroom.
• 2560x1440: Ultra, 89.4 FPS average. Still nearly one and a half times the threshold at the top preset.
• 3840x2160: Medium, 89.4 FPS average. High (56.5) and Ultra (53.2) miss 60 FPS, so Medium is the most demanding preset that holds the line.

Note the coincidence in the numbers: 1440p Ultra and 4K Medium both land at 89.4 FPS. That equivalence is a useful decision point for anyone choosing between sharper settings at lower resolution versus higher resolution with reduced effects.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the CPU side, the recorded rivals cluster extremely tightly around the Ryzen 5 7600X. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K both sit 0.2 percent away in average score, the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE is 0.3 percent away, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is 0.4 percent away. Any of these processors would deliver effectively the same Inside experience, since the game is GPU-bound in this configuration regardless.

On the GPU side, the nearest rivals span a wider historical range. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 matches the RTX 2060 exactly in average score (delta 0 percent), the AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics is 0.1 percent away, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is 0.6 percent behind, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 is 0.8 percent behind. In practical terms for this game, a system built around the Radeon 680M's iGPU class hardware or an RTX 3050 OEM should behave very similarly, which underlines how undemanding Inside is: even a modern integrated solution sits in the same performance band.

CPU and GPU Roles

Inside is a GPU-driven title on this configuration, with one caveat about CPU-bound territory. The evidence is in the scaling. Moving from 1080p Ultra (122.6 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (89.4 FPS) to 4K Ultra (53.2 FPS) produces large, roughly proportional drops in frame rate as pixel count increases. That pattern is the signature of a graphics limit: the CPU is feeding frames faster than the RTX 2060 can render them at higher resolutions.

The caveat appears at the Low preset. At 1080p Low the build reaches 258.7 FPS, and at 1440p Low it reaches 185.1 FPS. Frame rates this high start to brush against practical limits elsewhere in the pipeline, and this is the only region where the Ryzen 5 7600X's capabilities matter at all. With 6 cores, 12 threads, a 5.30 GHz boost clock, a single-thread Passmark score of 4135, and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1965, the CPU has ample headroom, but the data suggests it is never the primary limiter at playable settings. For anyone pairing components for this game, the lesson is simple: put the budget toward the GPU, because resolution, not simulation load, is what moves the numbers.

The RTX 2060's own profile supports this reading. It is a Turing card on the TU106 chip with 1920 shading units, 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus delivering 336 GB/s of bandwidth, and 6.451 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. Those are modest figures by current standards, and they are exactly what determines the 4K High and Ultra shortfalls.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC runs Inside, and runs it well. At 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, every preset from Low to Ultra clears 60 FPS, with the top preset delivering 122.6 FPS at 1080p and 89.4 FPS at 1440p. At 3840x2160, Low and Medium clear the threshold (116.4 and 89.4 FPS respectively) while High and Ultra fall just short at 56.5 and 53.2 FPS. The practical recommendation: play at Ultra at 1080p or 1440p without hesitation, and if 4K matters, settle on Medium for a comfortable 89.4 FPS. The Ryzen 5 7600X is never the constraint here; the RTX 2060 only shows its age at 4K on the highest presets, and only barely.
