Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers overwhelming performance in Inside, clearing the 60 FPS threshold by massive margins at every resolution and preset combination measured. This combination is not merely playable; it is overkill for a title of this type, with the lowest recorded average frame rate being 106.6 FPS at 4K Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with average frame rates ranging from a low of 106.6 FPS to a high of 417.8 FPS. No minimum or maximum frame rate data was captured for any configuration, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS figures.

At 1920x1080, the results are exceptional across the board. Low settings produce an average of 417.8 FPS. Medium settings yield 386.7 FPS, which is a modest drop of 31.1 FPS from Low. High settings deliver 248.7 FPS, a significant reduction from Medium but still far beyond any display's refresh rate capabilities. Ultra settings maintain the pattern with 238.2 FPS, which is only 10.5 FPS lower than High, indicating that the Ultra preset is not substantially more demanding than High at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains extraordinarily high. Low settings reach an average of 355.1 FPS, which is 62.7 FPS lower than at 1080p Low. Medium settings produce 288 FPS, a drop of 98.7 FPS from the 1080p Medium result. High settings average 180.8 FPS, which is 67.9 FPS lower than the 1080p High figure. Ultra settings deliver 173.2 FPS, representing a 65 FPS decrease compared to the 1080p Ultra result. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent performance hit of roughly 25-30% across all presets, but the absolute numbers remain far above playability requirements.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5070 still has ample headroom. Low settings average 226 FPS, which is 129.1 FPS below the 1440p Low result. Medium settings produce 180.7 FPS, a drop of 107.3 FPS from 1440p Medium. High settings deliver 113.7 FPS, which is 67.1 FPS lower than the 1440p High figure. Ultra settings average 106.6 FPS, the lowest measured result in the entire dataset, but still 46.6 FPS above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The transition from 1440p to 4K costs between 36% and 40% of the frame rate depending on the preset, yet even the most demanding configuration never comes close to struggling.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested CPU-GPU combinations for Inside, this pairing ranks 348th out of 3716 combos. This places it in the top 9.4% of all tested systems, a strong showing that reflects the high-end nature of both components. The percentile ranking for the CPU alone is 81, meaning the Ryzen 5 9600X outperforms 81% of all CPUs in the benchmark database. The GPU sits at the 82nd percentile, outperforming 82% of all GPUs.

The combination of a top-decile CPU and GPU results in a system that is firmly in the upper echelon of gaming hardware. The rank of 348 out of 3716 is particularly notable because Inside is a puzzle platformer with modest graphical demands; the fact that this combo still ranks this high suggests that the benchmark database includes many systems with significantly weaker components. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 9600X + RTX 5070 is substantially more powerful than the median tested combo, which would sit around rank 1858. This system is clearly built for far more demanding titles than Inside, and its performance here is limited primarily by the game's own engine and frame rate caps rather than any hardware bottleneck.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset combination tested, with all 12 configurations clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the weakest preset (Ultra) delivers 238.2 FPS, and the strongest (Low) reaches 417.8 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings still manage 173.2 FPS, while Low hits 355.1 FPS. Even at 3840x2160, the most demanding scenario, Ultra settings average 106.6 FPS, which is 46.6 FPS above the playable threshold. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: this system is playable at all settings across all three resolutions, with the best settings being Ultra at every resolution. The data shows that the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for this title, and the Ryzen 5 9600X's single-thread performance (2183.5 in Cinebench R23 single-core) ensures no CPU bottleneck at any frame rate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have nearest rivals that would produce broadly similar results in Inside, though the game's low graphical demands mean the differences are likely negligible in practice.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, the nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE, which has an average benchmark score of 29,656 compared to the 9600X's 29,713, a delta of just 0.2%. This means the Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE would perform nearly identically in CPU-bound scenarios. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29,868, which is 0.5% higher than the 9600X, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 29,879 (0.6% higher) and the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS scores 29,955 (0.8% higher). All four rivals are within 1% of the 9600X's average score, so any of them would deliver essentially the same frame rates in Inside.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, the nearest rival is the AMD Radeon Pro 580, which has an average score of 40,318 versus the RTX 5070's 40,377, a delta of just 0.1%. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40,063 (0.8% lower), while the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40,870 (1.2% higher) and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile scores 39,568 (2.0% lower). These deltas are all under 2%, meaning any of these GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 5070. Given that the RTX 5070 already delivers 106.6 FPS at 4K Ultra, a 2% variance would still keep these alternatives well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers an average of 238.2 FPS. This is the most demanding preset and still provides more than triple the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, averaging 173.2 FPS. This is 113.2 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, leaving substantial headroom for any future driver optimizations or background processes.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the recommended preset, with an average of 106.6 FPS. This is 46.6 FPS above the playable threshold, confirming that even the most demanding configuration for this game is comfortably playable. The data shows no scenario where the user would need to compromise on visual quality to achieve smooth gameplay.
