Inside

AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 570: this pairing delivers a wide spread of performance in Inside, from comfortably playable at 1080p on maximum settings to a struggle at 4K on anything above Low. The data shows a 1080p Ultra average of 65.7 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K High drops to 33.5 FPS. This is a classic case where resolution and settings dictate the experience more than the hardware's raw potential.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 sits in a tight cluster of processors with nearly identical average benchmark scores. The nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, which scores 25,550 versus the Ryzen 7 5700's 25,517, a difference of just 0.1%. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER also matches closely at 25,530, also within 0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U trails slightly at 25,485, putting it 0.1% behind, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25,446, a 0.3% gap. In practical terms, swapping the Ryzen 7 5700 for any of these would yield no perceptible change in Inside's frame rates; the game is not demanding enough to expose such minor differences.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 570 is bracketed by a more varied set of rivals. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M leads the group with an average score of 28,874, which is 0.4% ahead of the RX 570's 28,766. The AMD Radeon RX 470 is nearly identical at 28,996, just 0.8% higher, making it a direct substitute for the RX 570 in this title. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X falls 0.7% behind, and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 is 1.2% behind at 28,421. For Inside, any of these GPUs would produce comparable results; the RX 470, in particular, should match the RX 570's frame rates within a margin of error.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck in Inside, especially at higher resolutions. The shift from 1080p to 1440p to 4K produces a steep decline in average FPS across all settings, which points to the RX 570's rendering limits rather than the CPU's processing power. For instance, at High settings, the average frame rate falls from 71.2 FPS at 1080p to 46.4 FPS at 1440p, a 35% drop, and then to 33.5 FPS at 4K, another 28% reduction. The Ryzen 7 5700, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is far more capable than what Inside requires, so it does not constrain performance in any measurable way.

The CPU's role becomes even less significant when comparing presets at the same resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is stark: 136.6 FPS versus 65.7 FPS. This 70 FPS gap is entirely attributable to the GPU's workload, as the CPU's single-thread performance (3,296 in Passmark single-thread) is more than sufficient to feed the GPU at even the highest frame rates. The data suggests that Inside is a GPU-bound title across all tested configurations, with the CPU contributing little to the overall frame rate variation.

At 4K, the GPU's dominance is even more pronounced. The RX 570 can only manage 61.2 FPS at Low settings, and that drops to 30.2 FPS at Ultra. The CPU's performance remains constant, so the 31 FPS difference between Low and Ultra is purely a function of the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth (224.0 GB/s). In this context, the Ryzen 7 5700's 16 MB of L3 cache and DDR4 memory support are irrelevant to the outcome; the GPU is the deciding factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3,505 out of 3,716 tested combos in Inside. This places it in the bottom 6% of all pairings, which is a low position, but the game's modest requirements mean the ranking does not translate to an unplayable experience at common resolutions. The rank reflects the GPU's age and the fact that many other systems in the database use far newer or more powerful graphics cards, not a fundamental failure of this pairing.

At 1080p, this combo outperforms its overall ranking. The average FPS at Ultra settings (65.7) is above the playable threshold of 60 FPS, which means the system is viable for the game's intended resolution. The rank of 3,505 is skewed by 4K results, where the combo struggles, but the 1080p data shows that the hardware is adequate for the title. The percentile scores for the CPU (78th) and GPU (74th) are respectable, but the combined rank is dragged down by the GPU's performance at higher resolutions.

The disparity between the components' individual percentiles and the combo rank highlights a key point: Inside is not a demanding game, but it is still sensitive to GPU fill rate. The RX 570's 32 ROPs and 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are sufficient for 1080p, but not for 4K. The CPU's high percentile (78th) does not compensate for the GPU's limitations, so the combo's rank is more indicative of the GPU's age than the system's actual usability.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Inside at 4K?

A: Yes, but only at Low settings. The average FPS at 3840x2160 with Low settings is 61.2, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings drop to 47.2 FPS, High to 33.5 FPS, and Ultra to 30.2 FPS, all of which are below the threshold.

Q: What is the best setting for 1440p?

A: Medium is the best playable setting at 2560x1440, with an average of 78.4 FPS. Low settings run at 99.4 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual balance while staying well above the 60 FPS threshold. High and Ultra both fall below 60 FPS at 46.4 and 46.7 FPS, respectively.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 1080p?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 136.6 FPS, and at Ultra it drops to 65.7 FPS. This variation is caused by the GPU's workload, as the CPU's performance is constant and does not bottleneck the frame rate.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to the RX 470 for this game?

A: The RX 470 is nearly identical in performance, with an average benchmark score of 28,996 versus the RX 570's 28,766, a difference of 0.8%. In Inside, the frame rates would be effectively the same, so the RX 470 is a direct alternative.

Q: What is the highest resolution this combo can play at Ultra settings?

A: The only resolution where Ultra settings maintain at least 60 FPS is 1920x1080, with an average of 65.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra drops to 46.7 FPS, and at 3840x2160, it falls to 30.2 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU's multi-threading matter for Inside?

A: No, the game does not benefit from the CPU's 16 threads. The single-thread performance (3,296 in Passmark) is sufficient, and the benchmark data shows that the GPU is the bottleneck at all resolutions and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system performs best across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 136.6 FPS, Medium averages 106.1 FPS, High averages 71.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 65.7 FPS. All four settings are above the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the gap between Low and Ultra being 70.9 FPS. The frame rates are consistent, with no minimum or maximum values recorded, indicating stable performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop significantly. Low settings still run smoothly at 99.4 FPS, and Medium remains playable at 78.4 FPS. However, High settings fall to 46.4 FPS, and Ultra to 46.7 FPS, both below the 60 FPS threshold. The difference between Low and Medium is 21 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High is a steep 32 FPS, showing the GPU's struggle with higher-quality presets.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, with an average of 61.2 FPS. Medium averages 47.2 FPS, High averages 33.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 30.2 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 14 FPS, and from Medium to High is another 13.7 FPS. The data shows a clear linear decline as settings increase, with the RX 570 unable to maintain playable frame rates beyond Low at 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 65.7 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold, and it provides the highest visual quality without sacrificing playability. The next lower setting, High, averages 71.2 FPS, but Ultra offers better graphics at a still-smooth frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Medium, with an average of 78.4 FPS. This is the only preset above 60 FPS that offers a reasonable visual balance; Low runs at 99.4 FPS but compromises on quality, while High and Ultra fall to 46.4 and 46.7 FPS, respectively. Medium is the optimal choice for a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, with an average of 61.2 FPS. This is the only preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so narrowly. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below playable levels, so Low is the only viable option for 4K gaming with this combo.
