Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination delivers a decisive performance result in Inside, with every tested resolution and preset configuration clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold. Benchmark data shows the pairing is not merely adequate but provides substantial headroom, with average frame rates ranging from 66 FPS at the most demanding 4K Ultra setting to 309 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured FPS values indicate that this hardware combination treats the puzzle platformer as a low-stress workload, leaving significant performance in reserve across the board.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this combination show a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the system produces frame rates that are consistently above 140 FPS even at the highest settings. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 309, which is nearly double the High preset’s 155 FPS average. The Medium preset at 1080p records an average of 247 FPS, with a minimum of 210 FPS and a maximum of 284 FPS. Ultra settings at 1080p produce an average of 147 FPS, which still represents a 2.45x margin over the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 222 FPS, while High settings deliver 111 FPS. The Medium preset shows an average of 178 FPS, with the measured range spanning from a minimum of 151 FPS to a maximum of 204 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p maintain an average of 106 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra settings shows a reduction of approximately 28% in average frame rate, from 147 FPS to 106 FPS, indicating that the GPU is handling the additional pixel workload efficiently.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the combination still performs well above the playability threshold. Low settings produce an average of 140 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS. High settings at 4K average 70 FPS, and Ultra settings average 66 FPS. The minimum frame rate recorded at 4K Medium, 95 FPS, remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that even the most demanding configurations avoid noticeable dips. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a performance drop of approximately 53%, from 140 FPS to 66 FPS, which is a smaller relative decline than the 1080p Low-to-Ultra reduction of roughly 52% (309 FPS to 147 FPS).

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 147 FPS. This is the highest settings level available in the test data, and the performance headroom is substantial enough that there is no practical need to reduce quality.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also qualify as the best playable option, with an average of 106 FPS. The margin over the 60 FPS threshold is 46 FPS, providing comfortable headroom for any potential scene complexity variations.

For 3840x2160, Ultra settings remain the best playable configuration, producing an average of 66 FPS. This is the most demanding combination tested, and while the margin over 60 FPS is narrower than at lower resolutions, it still clears the threshold by 6 FPS. The data indicates that 4K Ultra is playable, although it leaves less performance reserve than the 1440p or 1080p configurations.

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly indicates that this PC configuration can run Inside at playable frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings. The verdict by resolution confirms that every preset at every resolution clears the 60 FPS threshold. At 1920x1080, the best playable settings are Ultra with an average of 147 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings achieve 106 FPS on average. At 3840x2160, Ultra settings still deliver 66 FPS on average.

The performance margins vary by resolution, but even the most demanding scenario — 4K Ultra — maintains a 10% buffer above the playability threshold. This suggests the combination is well-suited for the game’s visual style and gameplay mechanics. The data indicates that users with a 4K display can enable maximum settings without sacrificing smoothness, while those at 1080p or 1440p will experience frame rates well above typical high-refresh-rate targets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have nearby hardware that would behave similarly based on aggregate benchmark scores. For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is the closest rival, with an average score of 24964 versus the Ryzen 5 8400F’s 25005, a delta of 0.2%. This indicates practically identical CPU-level performance. The Intel Core i7-11850H (24935, +0.3% delta) and Intel Core i7-13620H (24911, +0.4% delta) also fall within a narrow band, suggesting comparable CPU-bound behavior. On the higher side, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, which is 0.4% above the 8400F.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has an average score of 16129, which is 0.7% higher than the RX 9060’s 16014, making it a near-identical performer. The AMD Radeon R9 370X (15862, +1% delta) and AMD Radeon RX 7700 (15852, +1% delta) are slightly below, while the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 (15679, +2.1% delta) lags by a small margin. In practice, swapping to any of these GPUs would yield frame rates within a few percentage points of the measured values for Inside.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Inside across resolutions. At lower resolutions like 1920x1080, the average FPS at Low settings reaches 309, which is well beyond typical display refresh rates. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 52% reduction in average FPS (309 to 147), indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck when settings are increased, as the CPU is providing enough headroom to support very high frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the resolution scaling shows a different pattern. The average FPS at 4K Low is 140, which is only 55% of the 1080p Low result. This larger drop when moving to higher resolutions points to the GPU becoming more heavily utilized, with the pixel throughput requirements increasing significantly. The difference between 1080p Low and 4K Low — a 169 FPS gap — suggests that the GPU’s rendering capabilities are the limiting factor at 4K, while the CPU remains less stressed.

The Medium preset data provides additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 247, while at 4K Medium it is 112. This 55% reduction mirrors the Low preset scaling, reinforcing that the GPU is the dominant constraint at higher resolutions. However, the fact that 4K Ultra still maintains 66 FPS — above the 60 FPS threshold — indicates that neither component is severely overworked. The combination shows balanced performance, with the CPU able to feed the GPU sufficiently at all tested settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and AMD Radeon RX 9060 ranks 2129 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This places the system in the 57th percentile of all tested hardware pairings. Given that the game is a puzzle platformer with modest graphical demands, the ranking reflects that many higher-end combinations achieve even higher frame rates, but this pairing still delivers excellent playability. The measured FPS values at every resolution and setting exceed the 60 FPS threshold, and the rank indicates that this configuration sits above the median of tested systems. The combination’s performance is sufficient for maximum settings at all resolutions, making it a strong choice for this title despite not being at the very top of the rankings.
