Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers high frame rates across all tested configurations in Inside, a Puzzle Platformer released on 2016-07-06. Benchmark data shows the combo ranks 1494 out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the upper tier of systems evaluated for this title. The measured results indicate that every resolution and preset combination tested clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K still averaging 76 FPS. The following analysis examines settings by resolution, component scaling, detailed FPS breakdowns, and comparable hardware alternatives.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 76 FPS. This is the maximum quality setting available, and the data shows it maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at this resolution averages 80 FPS, while Medium averages 128 FPS and Low averages 161 FPS. All four presets at 4K clear 60 FPS, so the best settings are simply the highest quality option.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again provides the best visual quality while averaging 122 FPS. This represents a substantial performance cushion over the playable threshold. The High preset averages 128 FPS, Medium reaches 204 FPS, and Low runs at 255 FPS. Since every preset at this resolution comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, Ultra is the recommended choice for maximum fidelity without compromising smoothness.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 169 FPS, making it the clear best setting at this resolution. The High preset delivers 178 FPS, Medium runs at 284 FPS, and Low reaches 355 FPS. The 1080p results show such high performance that even the heaviest settings leave substantial headroom, allowing users to prioritize visual quality entirely. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all playable settings include Ultra at each resolution, with average FPS at best settings of 76, 122, and 169 for 4K, 1440p, and 1080p respectively.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal how the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 share workload across resolutions. The CPU, a 7000 series part with 6 cores and 12 threads, boosts up to 5.30 GHz and scores 15236 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1965 in single-core tests. The GPU, based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture with 3840 shading units, delivers 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 performance. The scaling between presets and resolutions indicates which component becomes the limiting factor.

At 1920x1080, the GPU has the least work to do, and the frame rates are extremely high across all presets. The gap between Low at 355 FPS and Ultra at 169 FPS is 186 FPS, showing that the GPU workload scales significantly with settings. The CPU must feed frames quickly at this resolution, and the Ryzen 5 7600X's single-thread performance appears sufficient, as even the most demanding preset maintains 169 FPS average.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop but remain high: Ultra averages 122 FPS, a 28% decrease from 1080p Ultra's 169 FPS. This proportional drop suggests the GPU is becoming more involved at higher pixel counts. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 204 FPS with a minimum of 174 FPS and maximum of 235 FPS, showing consistent delivery. The CPU's role stays important but the GPU's pixel throughput increasingly dictates performance.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 76 FPS, and the drop from 1440p is steep. The GPU's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 8 GB GDDR7 capacity now face heavier demands. The Medium preset at 4K averages 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 FPS and maximum of 148 FPS, while Low runs at 161 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra shows a 55% reduction in frame rate, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. Across all resolutions, the CPU maintains enough headroom that it never drags average FPS below 169 at 1080p, but the GPU's workload scaling from settings changes is the dominant factor at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured results show a clear progression across settings. Low averages 161 FPS with no min or max recorded. Medium averages 128 FPS, with a minimum of 109 FPS and maximum of 148 FPS. High averages 80 FPS, and Ultra averages 76 FPS. The Medium preset's min of 109 FPS demonstrates that even temporary drops stay well above 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset, while the lowest performer, still maintains a 16 FPS margin over the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance improves substantially. Low averages 255 FPS. Medium averages 204 FPS, with a minimum of 174 FPS and maximum of 235 FPS. High averages 128 FPS. Ultra averages 122 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 174 FPS is exceptionally high, indicating that even in demanding scenes, the system holds strong performance. The Ultra preset's 122 FPS average leaves a 62 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the results are the strongest of all resolutions. Low averages 355 FPS. Medium averages 284 FPS, with a minimum of 242 FPS and maximum of 327 FPS. High averages 178 FPS. Ultra averages 169 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 242 FPS shows that even worst-case scenarios at 1080p run far above the playable threshold. The Ultra preset at 169 FPS is nearly three times the 60 FPS minimum, making this resolution the most comfortable for high-refresh-rate displays.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on avgBenchmarkScore, include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X with a score of 27578 and a deltaPct of 0.2, meaning it performs essentially identically to the Ryzen 5 7600X's 27636 average. The Intel Core i5-12600K also scores 27578 with a 0.2 deltaPct, placing it in the same performance tier. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE scores 27712 with a -0.3 deltaPct, slightly outperforming the 7600X by a negligible margin. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27535 with a 0.4 deltaPct, nearly matching the 7600X. These rivals are within a 0.4% range of the 7600X, meaning any of them would deliver comparable CPU performance in Inside.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060's avgBenchmarkScore of 26331 places it near several alternatives. The AMD Radeon 860M scores 26401 with a -0.3 deltaPct, and the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 scores 26421 with a -0.3 deltaPct, both performing within 0.3% of the RTX 5060. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary scores 26553 with a -0.8 deltaPct, slightly higher but still close. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT scores 26011 with a 1.2 deltaPct, meaning the RTX 5060 outperforms it by 1.2%. For Inside, a system using any of these rival GPUs with a comparable CPU would likely achieve similar frame rates, given the small performance deltas.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Inside at or above 60 FPS at every resolution and preset tested. At 3840x2160, the verdictByResolution lists all four settings as playable, with Ultra averaging 76 FPS. At 2560x1440, all settings are playable, with Ultra averaging 122 FPS. At 1920x1080, all settings are playable, with Ultra averaging 169 FPS. The worst-case scenario across all measurements is the 4K Ultra preset at 76 FPS average, which still clears the 60 FPS threshold by 16 FPS.

The system demonstrates that it can handle the game at maximum quality at any resolution, and the performance headroom is substantial at lower resolutions. For 4K displays, users can enable Ultra settings and expect smooth gameplay, while at 1440p and 1080p, the system provides far more performance than required, making it suitable for high refresh rate monitors. The measured data confirms that no resolution or preset combination drops below 60 FPS, and the minimum recorded FPS across all tests is 109 FPS at 4K Medium. This combination of CPU and GPU is more than sufficient for Inside.
