Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside across all tested resolutions and presets. The recorded data shows that this combination never dips below the 60 FPS playable threshold, even at the most demanding settings. The following sections break down the measured performance, optimal settings, and how this hardware pairing compares to other configurations in the database.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured average FPS values for four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at three resolutions. All measurements were recorded as average FPS; no minimum or maximum frame time data is present in the dataset.

At 1920x1080, the performance envelope is extremely wide. The Low preset produces an average of 245.9 FPS, while the Medium preset reaches 222.3 FPS. High settings yield 186.3 FPS, and the Ultra preset still maintains a very high 181.6 FPS. The spread between the least and most demanding presets is 64.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom even when settings are maxed out.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high but show the expected scaling from the 1080p results. Low settings average 218.5 FPS, Medium drops to 199.1 FPS, High comes in at 169.0 FPS, and Ultra averages 163.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 55.0 FPS, a slightly narrower gap than at 1080p, which suggests that resolution scaling begins to exert more influence than settings changes.

At 3840x2160, the 4K results still show triple-digit averages across every preset. The Low preset averages 186.2 FPS, Medium averages 169.7 FPS, High averages 134.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 124.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 61.6 FPS. Notably, the 4K Low result is nearly identical to the 1080p High result (186.2 vs. 186.3 FPS), which highlights how much headroom exists in this pairing.

The pattern across resolutions reveals that Inside is not a demanding title for this hardware. Even the most punishing combination tested, 4K Ultra, sustains an average above 120 FPS. The lack of min or max FPS data means the analysis relies on averages, but the consistency across presets suggests stable performance characteristics.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database defines the best settings as the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution. Given that every preset at every resolution clears this threshold comfortably, the best settings are always the Ultra preset.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 181.6 FPS. This is the maximum visual quality configuration available in the test set, and it still delivers frame rates nearly three times the playable threshold. The High preset at 186.3 FPS is only 4.7 FPS faster, so there is little reason to drop below Ultra for competitive or smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 163.5 FPS. The gap between Ultra and High at this resolution is 5.5 FPS, again a minor difference. The Medium preset at 199.1 FPS offers a larger margin, but the Ultra setting remains well above the 60 FPS target, making it the recommended choice.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 124.6 FPS. This is the lowest average recorded in the entire dataset, but it still more than doubles the playable threshold. The High preset at 134.1 FPS is 9.5 FPS faster, but the visual quality trade-off is unnecessary given the Ultra result. For users with 4K displays, the Ultra preset is fully playable and should be selected for maximum fidelity.

All three resolutions share the same recommendation: Ultra settings. The data shows no scenario where the user must compromise on visual quality to maintain playable frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling between resolutions provides insight into which component limits frame rates in Inside. This game is a puzzle platformer with relatively simple geometry and lighting, which typically places more emphasis on the GPU than the CPU. The recorded data supports this interpretation.

Comparing the same preset across resolutions, the frame rate drop from 1080p to 1440p is modest. For Ultra settings, the average drops from 181.6 FPS to 163.5 FPS, a reduction of 18.1 FPS or approximately 10%. The drop from 1440p to 4K is larger: from 163.5 FPS to 124.6 FPS, a reduction of 38.9 FPS or roughly 24%. This increasing penalty at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as pixel count rises.

The settings scaling tells a similar story. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 245.9 FPS to 181.6 FPS, a 64.3 FPS penalty. At 4K, the same settings change reduces the average from 186.2 FPS to 124.6 FPS, a 61.6 FPS penalty. The absolute penalty is similar across resolutions, but the relative impact is larger at 4K because the baseline is lower.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides ample processing power for this title. The game's genre does not typically stress multi-threaded workloads heavily, and the CPU's benchmark scores reflect strong general-purpose performance. The GPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, is overwhelmingly the primary determinant of frame rates here, especially at 4K where the pixel throughput demands are highest.

At 1080p, the CPU may play a slightly larger role because the GPU has less work per frame, but even then the frame rates are so high that the CPU shows no signs of bottlenecking. The data suggests that users upgrading from a weaker GPU would see significant gains, while a weaker CPU paired with this GPU would likely still achieve high frame rates in Inside.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination against all other tested combinations for Inside. The combo ranks 1442 out of 3716 total configurations. This places it in the upper portion of the distribution, specifically around the 61st percentile of tested combos.

This ranking is somewhat surprising given the extremely high absolute frame rates. The explanation lies in the fact that Inside is not a demanding title, so many lower-end GPUs can also achieve high frame rates. The RTX 4080 SUPER's massive performance headroom does not translate into a top-tier ranking because the game does not require that much power to hit high frame rates. The rank reflects relative performance among all combos, and the wide availability of capable hardware for this game compresses the upper end of the distribution.

The CPU's individual percentile is 84, meaning it outperforms 84% of all CPUs in the database. The GPU's individual percentile is 86, outperforming 86% of all GPUs. Despite these strong individual standings, the combined rank for Inside is lower because the game's modest requirements allow many mid-range components to perform nearly as well. The combo is still well above the median, but the game's ease of running means the top ranks are crowded with a wide variety of hardware.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside with maximum quality at any resolution tested. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: all three resolutions list every preset (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable, meaning each clears the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 181.6 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, averaging 163.5 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the recommended preset, averaging 124.6 FPS.

The data shows no scenario where this combination struggles. The lowest recorded average across all tests is 124.6 FPS (4K Ultra), which is still more than double the playable threshold. Users with high refresh rate monitors at 1080p or 1440p can expect to fully utilize refresh rates up to 240 Hz at lower settings, since the Low preset at 1080p reaches 245.9 FPS. At 4K, the frame rates are suitable for 120 Hz displays with room to spare.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER pairing is overqualified for Inside in terms of raw performance, but this leaves no compromises for the user. The game will run flawlessly at maximum settings, and the hardware will have substantial headroom for multitasking or streaming while playing.
