Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers an extraordinary performance profile in Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. Benchmark data shows this combination produces frame rates that far exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold at every tested resolution and quality preset. The measured results position this system as a top-tier performer, with the GPU ranking in the 86th percentile against all tested graphics cards and the CPU in the 79th percentile against all tested processors.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 127.7 FPS. This is a remarkable result, as even the highest quality settings leave immense headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 4K runs at 133.5 FPS, while Medium reaches 209.5 FPS and Low achieves 265.1 FPS. Every setting at 4K is comfortably playable, but Ultra provides the full visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the optimal preset is again Ultra, producing an average of 201.9 FPS. The High preset runs at 210.2 FPS, Medium at 311.1 FPS, and Low at 339.4 FPS. The gap between Ultra and High is minimal, but Ultra remains the pick for maximum quality. All settings at 1440p deliver frame rates well above what any display can refresh, making this resolution a sweet spot for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the best settings are Ultra with an average of 276.2 FPS. High runs at 291.4 FPS, Medium at 347.7 FPS, and Low at 376.6 FPS. The performance at 1080p is so high that the CPU becomes the limiting factor, yet the Ryzen 5 7600X's strong single-thread performance keeps even the most demanding preset above 270 FPS. For competitive or high-refresh gaming, this combination is overkill but undeniably effective.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K with maximum settings?*

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the measured average frame rate is 127.7 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four settings presets at 4K exceed 60 FPS.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Low settings produce 339.4 FPS, while Ultra produces 201.9 FPS. The difference is 137.5 FPS, meaning Ultra retains about 59% of the Low-setting frame rate while providing maximum visual quality.

Q: Which resolution provides the highest frame rate advantage?

A: The data shows 1080p delivers the highest absolute numbers, with Low settings hitting 376.6 FPS and Ultra still reaching 276.2 FPS. However, even at 4K, the lowest frame rate recorded (Ultra at 127.7 FPS) exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin.

Q: Is the RTX 4080 SUPER or the Ryzen 5 7600X the bottleneck in this game?

A: The benchmark data does not isolate individual component loads, but the CPU's average benchmark score is 27636 with a 79th percentile ranking, while the GPU's average score is 54209 with an 86th percentile ranking. The high frame rates at lower resolutions suggest the CPU can feed the GPU effectively, though the CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 4135 indicates strong per-core performance.

Q: How does the combo rank against all tested PC configurations?

A: This specific combination ranks 213rd out of 3716 tested combos, placing it in the top 6% of all systems benchmarked on the site. This ranking reflects its exceptional performance across the board.

Q: Does the game support ultra-wide or high-refresh-rate displays effectively?

A: The measured data covers standard resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. At all of these, Ultra presets remain above 127 FPS, so any high-refresh display (e.g., 144Hz or 240Hz) would be fully utilized at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K would still support 120Hz panels.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data covers three resolutions and four quality settings, with all results representing average FPS (no minimum or maximum values were recorded). The full breakdown is as follows:

At 1920x1080, Low settings average 376.6 FPS, Medium averages 347.7 FPS, High averages 291.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 276.2 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 100.4 FPS, meaning Ultra retains roughly 73% of the Low-setting performance. This is a very small penalty for maximum quality, indicating the game is not graphically demanding at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 339.4 FPS, Medium averages 311.1 FPS, High averages 210.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 201.9 FPS. The transition from Medium to High is the steepest drop, costing about 100.9 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra is only 8.3 FPS. This suggests High and Ultra are visually similar in cost, with Ultra offering the best quality for a marginal frame rate loss.

At 3840x2160, Low settings average 265.1 FPS, Medium averages 209.5 FPS, High averages 133.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 127.7 FPS. The largest performance hit occurs between Medium and High, a drop of 76 FPS, while High to Ultra costs just 5.8 FPS. Even at 4K, the most demanding preset keeps the average above 120 FPS, which is exceptional for a game of this era.

Comparing resolutions at the same settings, Ultra at 1080p (276.2 FPS) is about 37% faster than Ultra at 4K (127.7 FPS). Low settings show a smaller relative gap: 376.6 FPS at 1080p versus 265.1 FPS at 4K, a 42% difference. This indicates that the GPU scales well with resolution, but the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth ensure that even 4K remains far above playable.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores are all within a narrow band. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X scores 27578, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 7600X's 27636. The Intel Core i5-12600K also scores 27578, matching the Ryzen 7 exactly. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE scores 27712, which is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27535, which is 0.4% lower. In practice, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Inside, since the game is not heavily multithreaded and the differences are under half a percent.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 scores 54247, which is 0.1% higher than the RTX 4080 SUPER's 54209. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, a 1.1% advantage, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, which is 2.7% higher. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, 2.8% above the RTX 4080 SUPER. These deltas are negligible for a game like Inside, where even the weakest of these GPUs would still crush the 60 FPS target at all resolutions. The RTX 4080 SUPER's slight deficit to the RX 6750 GRE in average benchmark score does not translate to a meaningful gameplay difference here, as all measured FPS values are exceptionally high.

The Verdict

This PC runs Inside flawlessly. The verdict data confirms that every resolution—3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080—has all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) marked as playable, meaning each one clears the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings per resolution are Ultra at all three, with average frame rates of 127.7 FPS at 4K, 201.9 FPS at 1440p, and 276.2 FPS at 1080p.

There is no scenario where this combination struggles. Even the most demanding configuration—4K Ultra—delivers more than double the playable threshold. For a puzzle platformer, this hardware is massively overprovisioned, but it ensures zero compromises on visual quality or smoothness. Users with high-refresh displays will be satisfied, as the 1440p Ultra result exceeds 200 FPS and the 1080p Ultra result exceeds 270 FPS. The only consideration is whether the game's art style benefits from such extreme frame rates, but from a pure performance standpoint, this system is a definitive "yes" for Inside.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3716 tested PC combinations in the database, this pairing of the Ryzen 5 7600X and RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 213th. This places it in the top 5.7% of all systems benchmarked, a strong showing that reflects the high individual standings of both components. The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all graphics cards is slightly higher than the CPU's 79th percentile, but neither component holds the other back in this title.

The rank of 213 suggests that a small number of combos—likely those with newer or higher-end parts—achieve better overall benchmark scores. However, for Inside specifically, the measured FPS data shows that this combo outperforms what its rank might imply, because the game's modest requirements are far exceeded. The rank is a general-purpose metric based on synthetic benchmarks (including the CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15236 and the GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 6600), but in this specific game, the practical result is maximum settings at every resolution with massive headroom above 60 FPS.
