Inside

Inside is a puzzle platformer that places modest demands on hardware, and the recorded data for this AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination shows a system that clears the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution and preset. The measured frame rates are consistently high, with the lowest average across all configurations sitting at 65 FPS. This analysis walks through the best settings per resolution, comparable alternatives, detailed frame rate breakdowns, frequently asked questions, the roles of the CPU and GPU, how this combo ranks among tested systems, and a final verdict based on the database measurements.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is Ultra across the board. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 65 FPS, which is the only configuration at 4K that comes close to the playability line. The High preset at 4K averages 68.5 FPS, while Medium reaches 111.7 FPS and Low hits 142.4 FPS. Even though Ultra is the most demanding option, the 65 FPS average means it remains above the 60 FPS playable threshold, so there is no need to drop to a lower preset for playability at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 109.1 FPS, which is well above the threshold. The High preset at 1440p averages 112.9 FPS, Medium reaches 177.1 FPS, and Low tops out at 219.9 FPS. Since Ultra is both the most demanding and comfortably playable, it is the recommended choice at this resolution. The gap between Ultra and High is small, only 3.8 FPS, so players can choose either without a meaningful performance penalty, but the data supports Ultra as the best setting that stays above 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 145.6 FPS, which is far above the threshold. High averages 156.3 FPS, Medium reaches 245.9 FPS, and Low achieves 307.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p is the clear pick, as it offers the highest visual quality while still maintaining a frame rate that is more than double the 60 FPS target. In summary, this system can run Inside at Ultra settings at all three tested resolutions, with 4K being the only resolution where the margin above 60 FPS is relatively narrow.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database records nearest rival comparisons for both the CPU and GPU, indicating which other components would behave similarly in this game. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X has an average benchmark score of 27636, and its nearest rivals are clustered within a small range. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X scores 27578, which is 0.2 percent lower. The Intel Core i5-12600K also scores 27578, also 0.2 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE scores 27712, which is 0.3 percent higher than the 7600X. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27535, 0.4 percent lower. These deltas are all under half a percent, so any of these CPUs would deliver effectively identical performance in Inside, where the workload does not heavily stress multi-threaded processing.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282, and its nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, which is 1 percent higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2 percent higher. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3 percent higher. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5 percent higher. These differences are small, meaning a system with any of these GPUs would likely produce frame rates very close to the ones recorded for the RTX 2070 SUPER in this game. The RTX 2070 SUPER sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 7600X sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, so both components are positioned above the median in their respective categories.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings, with average frame rates recorded for each combination. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 142.4 FPS, Medium averages 111.7 FPS, High averages 68.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 65 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a drop of 77.4 FPS, with the largest single step occurring between Medium and High, which is a difference of 43.2 FPS. The step from High to Ultra is only 3.5 FPS, suggesting that the visual cost of the final preset tier is relatively small in performance terms.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 219.9 FPS, Medium averages 177.1 FPS, High averages 112.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 109.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 110.8 FPS, and again the largest step is between Medium and High at 64.2 FPS. The High to Ultra step is 3.8 FPS, similar to the pattern seen at 4K. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 307.2 FPS, Medium averages 245.9 FPS, High averages 156.3 FPS, and Ultra averages 145.6 FPS. The Low to Ultra difference is 161.6 FPS, with the Medium to High step being 89.6 FPS, the largest single drop in the entire dataset. The High to Ultra step is 10.7 FPS at this resolution, slightly larger than at the other resolutions but still modest.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: the jump from Medium to High is the most significant performance hit, while High to Ultra costs relatively little. This suggests that the High preset tier introduces a substantial rendering load, but the Ultra tier builds on it without a proportional frame rate penalty. The data also shows that resolution scaling is steep, with 1080p Ultra at 145.6 FPS versus 4K Ultra at 65 FPS, a reduction of 80.6 FPS, which indicates that pixel count is a major factor for this GPU.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data allows for a clear separation of CPU and GPU influence. Inside is not a demanding title for modern processors, and the Ryzen 5 7600X, with its six cores and twelve threads, is far beyond what the game requires. The CPU sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are within 0.4 percent of its average benchmark score, indicating that even a somewhat weaker processor would not change the outcome in this game. The frame rates at 1080p Low, 307.2 FPS, approach the practical limits of many displays, and at that point the CPU could become a factor, but the GPU still has headroom, as the 1440p and 4K results show.

The GPU role becomes more prominent as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 161.6 FPS, and at 4K the same comparison is 77.4 FPS. This shows that the GPU is handling a larger share of the workload at higher resolutions, where pixel throughput matters more. The RTX 2070 SUPER, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256 bit memory bus, delivers 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for this game at all tested settings. The GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 1.5 percent of its average score, meaning the recorded frame rates would be similar with those alternatives.

The scaling between resolutions reinforces this analysis. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 145.6 at 1080p to 109.1 at 1440p, a reduction of 36.5 FPS, and then to 65 at 4K, a further reduction of 44.1 FPS. The consistent decline with resolution indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at higher pixel counts. The CPU remains underutilized, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate scales smoothly with GPU load rather than hitting a CPU ceiling. In practical terms, players with this system should not worry about CPU performance in Inside at any resolution, and the GPU will determine the achievable frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER at position 2179 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places the system in the upper portion of the distribution, above the median, but not near the top. The percentile positions of the individual components support this: the CPU is at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 65th percentile among all GPUs. The combination rank reflects the GPU as the weaker link, since the CPU is comparatively stronger relative to its peers.

Given the modest requirements of Inside, even a mid-pack GPU is enough for high frame rates, and this combo achieves that. The rank of 2179 out of 3716 means that roughly 41 percent of tested combos are ahead of it, but many of those would be using more powerful GPUs that offer little practical benefit in a game where the frame rate is already far above 60 FPS at every setting. The data shows that the combo is capable of 65 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is the most demanding configuration tested, so the rank does not reflect any playability issue. It simply indicates that there are faster systems in the database, which is expected given the age of the GPU relative to newer options.

The nearest GPU rivals, such as the Intel Arc B570 and Intel Arc A750, have average scores that are only 1.3 and 1.5 percent higher respectively, so a combo with one of those GPUs would likely rank very close to this one in Inside. The CPU rivals are even closer, with deltas under 0.4 percent, meaning the processor choice has almost no effect on the ranking for this game. Overall, the combo rank is a useful reference point, but the practical takeaway is that this system performs well above the playability threshold in all tested scenarios.

The Verdict

The verdict is straightforward: yes, this PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset tested. The database records playable settings for all three resolutions, and the best setting at each is Ultra. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 65 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 109.1 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 145.6 FPS. There is no configuration in the measured data that falls below 60 FPS, so players can choose the highest quality settings without compromise.

The margin at 4K is narrow, 5 FPS above the threshold, but it is still a playable result. For players who prefer a larger buffer, the High preset at 4K averages 68.5 FPS, which is only 3.5 FPS higher than Ultra, so the benefit is minimal. The Medium preset at 4K jumps to 111.7 FPS, offering a substantial frame rate increase for those who want more headroom. At 1440p and 1080p, the Ultra preset provides such high frame rates that no compromise is necessary. The Ryzen 5 7600X and RTX 2070 SUPER combination is more than sufficient for Inside, and the recorded data confirms that it clears the playable threshold with room to spare at all tested settings.
