Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers overwhelming performance for Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. Measured frame rates show the pairing never dips below 113 FPS at any tested resolution or preset, with 4K Ultra averaging 113.4 FPS and 1080p Low reaching 340.8 FPS. The data indicates this system is far beyond the demands of the game, making it a high-refresh-rate monster even at maximum settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this combo each have close neighbors in benchmark databases, and those alternatives would behave nearly identically in Inside. For the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, the nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, which scores 24964 in average benchmarks against the 8400F’s 25005 — a delta of just 0.2 percent. That is an effectively negligible difference, meaning the 7500F would produce the same frame rates in this game. The Intel Core i7-11850H sits at 24935 (0.3 percent behind), and the Intel Core i7-13620H at 24911 (0.4 percent behind). On the other side, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, which is 0.4 percent ahead of the 8400F. For Inside, which is not heavily threaded, these single-digit percentage differences will not change the outcome: every one of these CPUs is more than sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 Ti at 60 FPS and far beyond.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 44795, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA RTX A6000, which scores 44075 — 1.6 percent lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45152, 0.8 percent higher, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45384, 1.3 percent higher. The Intel Arc A730M scores 45592, 1.7 percent higher. These deltas are small enough that in a game like Inside, which is a 2D side-scroller with modest geometry, the visual output would be indistinguishable between the RTX 4070 Ti and any of these rivals. The RTX 4070 Ti’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are overkill for Inside’s textures and effects, so any of the four nearest rivals would deliver similarly high frame rates.

For a user considering this combo, the practical takeaway is that swapping the CPU for a Ryzen 5 7500F or the GPU for an RTX A6000 would yield nearly identical performance in Inside. The 0.2 percent CPU delta and 1.6 percent GPU delta are well within measurement noise for a game that runs at hundreds of frames per second. There is no scenario where any of these alternatives would drop the frame rate below the playable threshold of 60 FPS at any resolution, given that the current combo stays above 113 FPS even at 4K Ultra.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K resolution?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160, the system achieves 124.9 FPS on High settings, 193.8 FPS on Medium, 242.8 FPS on Low, and 113.4 FPS on Ultra. All four presets are above the 60 FPS playable threshold, and Ultra is listed as the best setting with an average of 113.4 FPS.

Q: What is the highest preset that maintains 60 FPS at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, every preset clears 60 FPS. Ultra settings run at 184.2 FPS on average, High at 196.9 FPS, Medium at 281.3 FPS, and Low at 300.5 FPS. The best setting is Ultra, which provides the highest visual quality while still delivering more than triple the playable threshold.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 Ti compare to its nearest GPU rival in this test?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 44795, which is 1.6 percent higher than the RTX A6000’s 44075. The RTX 5090 Mobile scores 0.8 percent higher at 45152, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 1.3 percent higher at 45384. In Inside, these differences would result in nearly identical frame rates, as the game is not GPU-bound at these performance levels.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 8400F a bottleneck for the RTX 4070 Ti in this game?

A: No. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 25005, with a 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Ryzen 5 7500F, is only 0.2 percent slower. Since the lowest measured frame rate across all resolutions and settings is 113.4 FPS (4K Ultra), the CPU is not limiting performance in Inside.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the system averages 258.4 FPS. This is the highest resolution tested with the most demanding preset, and it still exceeds 250 FPS, indicating that the combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Q: Does the combo rank high among all tested systems for this game?

A: The combo ranks 462nd out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the top 12.4 percent of all systems. Given that Inside is an older title, this high rank reflects the hardware’s ability to push well beyond the game’s requirements.

Best Settings per Resolution

For players seeking the most visually demanding preset that still stays at or above 60 FPS, the data provides clear guidance. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 113.4 FPS, which is the highest quality option available and comfortably clears the 60 FPS threshold. The next step down, High, runs at 124.9 FPS, but Ultra is recommended because it offers better visuals with no risk of dropping below playable frame rates. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings produce 184.2 FPS on average, again the best visual preset and far above the 60 FPS floor. The same conclusion applies at 1920x1080, where Ultra averages 258.4 FPS. In all three resolutions, the most demanding preset (Ultra) is also the best choice, as the system never comes close to the 60 FPS limit. The minimum frame rates are not reported in the data, but the averages are so high that even significant dips would remain playable — for example, a 50 percent drop from the 113.4 FPS 4K Ultra average would still yield 56.7 FPS, near the threshold, but such a drop is unlikely given the game’s low complexity.

The Verdict

This PC runs Inside with exceptional headroom. The verdict data lists all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at every resolution tested — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — where "playable" is defined as maintaining an average of at least 60 FPS. At 1080p, the best setting is Ultra with an average of 258.4 FPS; at 1440p, Ultra runs at 184.2 FPS; and at 4K, Ultra averages 113.4 FPS. There is no resolution or preset combination where the system fails to meet the 60 FPS target. The weakest performance point in the entire dataset is 4K Ultra at 113.4 FPS, which is still nearly double the playable threshold. Consequently, the answer is a definitive yes: this combo can run Inside at maximum settings and at any resolution up to 4K, with enough spare performance for high refresh rates or future driver overhead.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates show a consistent pattern of high performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 340.8 FPS, Medium drops to 309.7 FPS, High reaches 258 FPS, and Ultra delivers 258.4 FPS. The similarity between High and Ultra at 1080p (258 vs 258.4 FPS) suggests the game is not heavily impacted by the highest preset at this resolution, likely due to CPU or engine limits rather than GPU constraints. Moving to 2560x1440, Low averages 300.5 FPS, Medium runs at 281.3 FPS, High achieves 196.9 FPS, and Ultra settles at 184.2 FPS. The gap between Medium and High widens at 1440p, indicating that the higher presets introduce more rendering work. At 3840x2160, the numbers are still very high: Low hits 242.8 FPS, Medium reaches 193.8 FPS, High manages 124.9 FPS, and Ultra runs at 113.4 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent — for Ultra, the frame rate drops from 258.4 to 184.2 to 113.4 as resolution increases, which is a modest reduction given the 4x pixel count difference between 1080p and 4K. No minimum or maximum frame rates are provided in the data, so the analysis relies on averages, but the averages alone are sufficient to establish that the system operates far above the playable threshold in every configuration.

Notably, the Low preset at 1080p (340.8 FPS) is the highest recorded average, while the Ultra preset at 4K (113.4 FPS) is the lowest. This 3x spread across the test matrix highlights the game’s scalability and the hardware’s ability to handle both ends of the spectrum. The RTX 4070 Ti’s 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate are likely factors in sustaining these high numbers, though the fact pack does not provide per-setting GPU utilization. Similarly, the Ryzen 5 8400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz ensure that even the highest frame rates at 1080p are not CPU-limited. The data shows no anomalous dips — every entry is above 100 FPS, which is a strong indicator of consistent performance.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Inside, this specific pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 462nd out of 3716 total combos. That places it in the top 12.4 percent of all systems tested for this game. The rank reflects the hardware’s strength relative to a broad field that includes both older and newer components. Because Inside is a lightweight title, the ranking is less about raw GPU muscle and more about the overall balance of the system — the RTX 4070 Ti’s 84th percentile GPU score and the CPU’s 77th percentile score combine to produce a system that excels in this specific workload. Compared to the nearest rival combos, the 462nd rank is likely driven by the GPU’s high average score (44795) rather than the CPU, since the 8400F’s rivals are all within 0.4 percent in performance. For context, the combo ranks ahead of 3254 other tested systems, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of configurations in this game. The rank is not the top spot — many systems with higher-end GPUs like the RTX 5090 Mobile (which scores 45152, 0.8 percent higher) may rank better — but the practical difference in Inside is negligible, as all these systems exceed 100 FPS at 4K. The data suggests that for this game, the combo is effectively overqualified, and the 462nd rank confirms the pairing’s high-end positioning rather than any deficiency. Users with this system can expect performance that is indistinguishable from systems ranked hundreds of places higher, given the game’s low demands and the high frame rates recorded across all settings.
