Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination is a high-end pairing that handles Inside with substantial headroom at every tested resolution. The CPU sits in the 77th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 81st percentile for all graphics cards. In the game's own benchmark database, this specific combo ranks 834th out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the top quartile of systems. The measured frame-rate data confirms this is not a borderline configuration; it delivers playable performance across all settings, from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have close neighbors in benchmark scores that would behave nearly identically in Inside. For the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, the nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, which scores 24964 versus the 8400F's 25005 average benchmark score — a negligible 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i7-11850H is 0.3% slower, and the Intel Core i7-13620H trails by 0.4%. On the faster side, the AMD EPYC 9474F leads by only 0.4%. These deltas are all within noise; swapping the 8400F for any of these chips would produce indistinguishable frame rates in this title, since Inside is not a heavily threaded workload.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070's average benchmark score of 37648 is nearly matched by the NVIDIA Tesla P4 at 37628, a 0.1% gap. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507, which is 0.4% lower, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 is 1.3% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile is the only faster neighbor, at 38135, leading by 1.3%. For practical purposes, any of these GPUs would deliver the same experience in Inside, meaning the RTX 4070 is not uniquely positioned; it is part of a cluster of similarly performing graphics hardware.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data shows that the GPU is the dominant factor in Inside, but the CPU still matters at lower resolutions where frame rates climb high enough to expose processor limits. At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra settings is dramatic: the RTX 4070 produces 208 FPS at Low and 99 FPS at Ultra, a 109 FPS drop that is purely graphics-driven. The CPU is not the bottleneck here, as even the most demanding 4K setting stays well above 60 FPS. At 1440p, the same pattern holds — Low hits 303 FPS, Ultra drops to 157 FPS — confirming that the GPU's workload scaling determines performance.

At 1080p, the situation shifts slightly. Low settings yield 338 FPS, and Ultra still manages 219 FPS. The 119 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is similar in absolute terms to the 109 FPS spread at 4K, but the absolute values are much higher. This suggests that at 1080p Low, the CPU may start to limit the frame rate, as the RTX 4070 is capable of far more than 338 FPS in a lighter scene. However, since every tested configuration exceeds 60 FPS by a wide margin, the CPU's role is only relevant for players chasing maximum refresh rates on high-Hz monitors. For the 60 FPS playability threshold, the GPU alone determines the outcome across all resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 delivers exceptional performance in Inside. Low settings average 338 FPS, Medium averages 312 FPS with a minimum of 265 FPS and a maximum of 359 FPS, High averages 230 FPS, and Ultra averages 219 FPS. All settings clear the 60 FPS threshold by more than triple, making this resolution entirely GPU-bound at the top end. The minimum frame rate recorded at 1080p Medium is 265 FPS, which is still far above any playability concern.

At 2560x1440, performance remains very high. Low settings average 303 FPS, Medium averages 264 FPS with a minimum of 225 FPS and a maximum of 304 FPS, High averages 165 FPS, and Ultra averages 157 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is 99 FPS, while the drop from High to Ultra is only 8 FPS, indicating diminishing returns at the highest preset. Even the lowest average at this resolution — 157 FPS at Ultra — is more than double the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4070 still delivers smooth gameplay. Low settings average 208 FPS, Medium averages 166 FPS with a minimum of 141 FPS and a maximum of 191 FPS, High averages 104 FPS, and Ultra averages 99 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 62 FPS, while High to Ultra costs only 5 FPS. The minimum recorded frame rate across all 4K settings is 141 FPS at Medium, which is far above the playability threshold. No setting at any resolution dips below 99 FPS on average.

FAQ

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

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combination averages 99 FPS, which exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold. All four settings presets at 4K — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are marked as playable.

Q: What is the highest frame rate this system can achieve?

A: The maximum average FPS recorded is 338 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. The highest single-frame value in the data is 359 FPS, measured at 1080p Medium.

Q: How much performance is lost between Low and Ultra settings?

A: At 4K, the drop is from 208 FPS at Low to 99 FPS at Ultra, a 109 FPS reduction. At 1440p, it drops from 303 FPS to 157 FPS, a 146 FPS reduction. At 1080p, it drops from 338 FPS to 219 FPS, a 119 FPS reduction.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The GPU is the primary factor, as demonstrated by the large FPS differences between settings presets at each resolution. The CPU's influence is limited to very high frame rates at 1080p Low, where the system reaches 338 FPS.

Q: Does the system ever drop below 60 FPS?

A: No. The lowest average FPS recorded is 99 FPS at 4K Ultra. The lowest minimum FPS recorded is 141 FPS at 4K Medium. Every configuration tested stays well above 60 FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other systems?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and RTX 4070 combination ranks 834th out of 3716 tested configurations for Inside, placing it in the top 22% of all systems in the database.

The Verdict

This PC runs Inside without any compromises. The verdict data marks all settings presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — as playable at every resolution from 1920x1080 up to 3840x2160. At 1080p, the system averages 219 FPS at Ultra, which is more than triple the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Ultra averages 157 FPS, still far above playable. At 4K, Ultra averages 99 FPS, which clears the threshold comfortably. The minimum frame rates recorded at Medium settings — 265 FPS at 1080p, 225 FPS at 1440p, and 141 FPS at 4K — confirm that the system does not experience significant dips. For any player targeting a standard 60 Hz display, this hardware is effectively overkill for Inside; it also supports high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p and even 4K with headroom.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 219 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best choice, averaging 157 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the optimal preset, averaging 99 FPS. In all three cases, the highest quality setting is fully playable, so there is no need to sacrifice visual fidelity for performance. The data indicates that the RTX 4070 has enough headroom at 4K Ultra to handle the game's most demanding scenes, as the average of 99 FPS leaves a 39 FPS margin above the 60 FPS threshold. Players seeking maximum frame rates on high-refresh displays can drop to Medium settings, which yields 312 FPS at 1080p, 264 FPS at 1440p, and 166 FPS at 4K, but this is unnecessary for standard playability.
