Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. Measured data shows this combo ranks 400th out of 3,716 tested combinations, placing it in the top 11% of all systems. The benchmark results are uniformly strong across every resolution and preset, with average frame rates never dropping below 107.4 FPS even at the most demanding settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 400 out of 3,716 tested configurations. This places the system comfortably in the upper echelon of gaming hardware, outperforming roughly 89% of all tested combos. Given that Inside is a Puzzle Platformer with relatively modest graphical demands compared to modern AAA titles, this ranking reflects a system with substantial headroom for this particular game.

The CPU component, the Ryzen 5 7600X, sits at the 79th percentile when compared against all CPUs in the benchmark database. Its average benchmark score of 27,636 places it in close competition with several other processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X scores 27,578, a 0.2% delta, while the Intel Core i5-12600K also scores 27,578, another 0.2% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE scores 27,712, representing a -0.3% difference, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27,535, a 0.4% delta. These margins are negligible in real-world gaming scenarios.

The GPU, the RTX 4070 SUPER, sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 43,223. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43,262 (-0.1% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile at 43,268 (-0.1% delta), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43,301 (-0.2% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at 43,667 (-1% delta). The RTX 4070 SUPER essentially matches these alternatives in raw compute performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

In Inside, the balance between CPU and GPU workload shifts noticeably as resolution changes. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system produces 380.2 FPS average. This high frame rate suggests the GPU is not heavily taxed at this resolution and preset, allowing the CPU to drive frame generation more freely. When moving to 2560x1440 at Low settings, the average FPS drops to 341.2, a reduction of 39 FPS or roughly 10.2%. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average further drops to 230.3 FPS, a 32.5% reduction from the 1440p figure.

The scaling pattern changes when examining higher presets. At High settings, the 1080p average is 257.3 FPS, dropping to 186.7 FPS at 1440p (a 27.4% decrease) and then to 114.4 FPS at 4K (a 38.7% decrease from 1440p). At Ultra settings, the progression is 243.5 FPS at 1080p, 177.9 FPS at 1440p (a 26.9% decrease), and 107.4 FPS at 4K (a 39.6% decrease from 1440p).

The data indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 380.2 FPS, but at 4K Ultra it drops to 107.4 FPS, a 71.8% reduction. The consistent scaling between resolutions across all presets suggests the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while at 1080p Low the CPU may introduce some limitation given the extremely high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS figures are as follows: Low settings produce 380.2 FPS, Medium settings produce 348.2 FPS, High settings produce 257.3 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 243.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 136.7 FPS, representing a 35.9% reduction from the Low preset. The gap between High and Ultra is relatively small at 13.8 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns beyond the High preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 341.2 FPS at Low, 296.1 FPS at Medium, 186.7 FPS at High, and 177.9 FPS at Ultra. The transition from Medium to High produces a substantial drop of 109.4 FPS, indicating a significant increase in graphical workload at this resolution. The High to Ultra gap narrows to just 8.8 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the data shows 230.3 FPS at Low, 183.7 FPS at Medium, 114.4 FPS at High, and 107.4 FPS at Ultra. The Medium to High transition at 4K results in a 69.3 FPS drop, which is the largest single-setting penalty across all resolutions. The Low to Ultra range at 4K spans 122.9 FPS, from 230.3 down to 107.4.

Across all resolutions, the pattern remains consistent: Low and Medium presets deliver frame rates well above 180 FPS, while High and Ultra presets still maintain averages above 107 FPS. The minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded in the data, so analysis relies solely on average figures.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at all tested resolutions and presets with frame rates far exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are marked as playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 107.4 FPS. This means even at maximum graphical quality in 4K, the system delivers nearly double the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, all presets are also playable, with Ultra settings achieving 177.9 FPS average. This represents more than triple the 60 FPS threshold, providing substantial headroom for any potential frame rate dips or additional background workload. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 243.5 FPS at Ultra settings, which is over four times the playable threshold.

The data confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER combined with the Ryzen 5 7600X is more than sufficient for Inside at any resolution. The lowest recorded average across all tests is 107.4 FPS at 4K Ultra, which still clears the 60 FPS threshold by 79%. There is no scenario in the measured data where this system falls below playable performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving an average of 243.5 FPS. This provides the maximum visual quality while maintaining a frame rate that is more than four times the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are also the best choice, delivering 177.9 FPS average. This is triple the 60 FPS threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay even in scenes with heavy particle effects or complex geometry.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings produce 107.4 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by 47.4 FPS. This is the only resolution where the margin above the threshold narrows below 100 FPS, but it still provides a comfortable buffer for consistent performance.
