CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data for Inside reveals a clear pattern: the GPU is the dominant performance factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. This is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer, and the recorded data shows that the graphics card heavily influences frame rates when pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is substantial. Low averages 67.6 FPS, while Ultra averages 31.3 FPS. This represents a 36.3 FPS drop, or roughly a 54% reduction in frame rate when moving from the least to most demanding preset. The GPU is clearly the bottleneck at this resolution, as the scene complexity and fill rate requirements scale directly with pixel count.

Moving down to 2560x1440, the spread narrows but remains significant. Low averages 108.1 FPS, Medium averages 85.1 FPS, High averages 56.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 51.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 56.6 FPS, which again points to the GPU as the primary constraint. However, the absolute numbers are higher across the board, indicating that the GPU has more headroom once the pixel count drops.

At 1920x1080, the pattern shifts. Low averages 149.6 FPS, Medium averages 121.9 FPS, High averages 76.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 71.6 FPS. The 78 FPS gap between Low and Ultra is the largest of all three resolutions in absolute terms, but the relative scaling is different. The fact that even Ultra clears 60 FPS at 1080p suggests that the CPU is not holding the system back at this resolution, and the GPU still has enough throughput to handle the game's demands.

The scaling between resolutions tells the story. At Low settings, moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces average FPS from 149.6 to 108.1, a 41.5 FPS drop. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Low drops average FPS from 108.1 to 67.6, another 40.5 FPS reduction. At Ultra settings, the corresponding drops are from 71.6 to 51.5 (20.1 FPS) and then to 31.3 (20.2 FPS). The consistent scaling suggests that the game is largely GPU-bound across all tested configurations, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom even at the lowest resolution and settings.

The Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with its Zen 3 architecture, provide ample processing power for a puzzle platformer of this type. The CPU's average benchmark score of 25,517 places it at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, indicating strong general-purpose performance. For a game like Inside, which is not known for heavy CPU simulation workloads, the processor is unlikely to be the limiting factor in any of the tested scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured average FPS values for 12 distinct configurations, covering three resolutions and four settings presets. Minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded for any configuration, so the analysis relies on average frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the results are as follows: Low averages 67.6 FPS, Medium averages 57.2 FPS, High averages 35.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 31.3 FPS. Only the Low preset clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at this resolution. The step from Medium to High represents a 21.8 FPS drop, while the step from High to Ultra is a smaller 4.1 FPS decline, suggesting diminishing returns at the top end of the settings scale.

At 2560x1440, the results improve considerably. Low averages 108.1 FPS, Medium averages 85.1 FPS, High averages 56.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 51.5 FPS. Two presets (Low and Medium) clear the 60 FPS threshold, while High and Ultra fall short. The gap between Medium and High is 28.7 FPS, which is the largest single-step drop across all tested configurations at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. Low averages 149.6 FPS, Medium averages 121.9 FPS, High averages 76.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 71.6 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is only 4.9 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset does not impose a significant additional cost over High at this resolution. The jump from Medium to High is 45.4 FPS, which is the largest single-step decline in the entire dataset.

The overall pattern shows that Inside is highly playable at 1080p with any settings, moderately playable at 1440p with Low or Medium settings, and only playable at 4K with Low settings. The game's 2D side-scrolling nature likely contributes to the relatively high frame rates even on hardware that ranks in the lower percentile of tested combos.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 580 combination ranks 3,365 out of 3,716 tested combos in the database for Inside. This places the system in the bottom 9.4% of all tested combinations, which is consistent with the GPU's modest 53rd percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU's stronger 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs.

The rank reflects the fact that the GPU is the limiting factor for this game at higher resolutions. Despite the CPU being well above average in general benchmark performance, the overall combo rank is dragged down by the RX 580's mid-tier standing. The GPU's average benchmark score of 12,928 places it just below the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, which scores 12,986, a 0.4% difference.

At 1080p, the combo's rank does not prevent playable performance at any setting, which suggests that the game's requirements are modest enough that even a lower-ranked combo can handle it well at the most common resolution. The fact that 3,716 combos have been tested for this game indicates a broad dataset, and this particular system sits in the lower portion of that distribution.

The CPU's nearest rivals all score within 0.3% of its average benchmark score, which means that swapping the Ryzen 7 5700 for an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, AMD Ryzen 5 7640U, AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, or Intel Xeon D-2752TER would produce nearly identical results in this game. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of its average score, so the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, AMD Radeon 740M, and AMD FirePro W5100 would all behave very similarly.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the database lists four nearest rivals that produce nearly identical average benchmark scores. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25,530, which is 0.1% higher than the Ryzen 7 5700's 25,517. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25,550, also 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25,485, which is 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25,446, which is 0.3% lower. Any of these processors would deliver effectively the same frame rates in Inside, as the game is not CPU-bound at any tested resolution or setting.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile scores 12,940, which is 0.1% higher than the RX 580's 12,928. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12,986, which is 0.4% higher. The AMD Radeon 740M scores 12,870, which is 0.5% lower. The AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12,847, which is 0.6% lower. In practical terms, swapping the RX 580 for any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, with differences well within measurement noise.

It is worth remembering the GPU's nearest rivals include both desktop and mobile parts. The RTX 3050 Ti Mobile is a laptop GPU, yet its average benchmark score is nearly identical to the desktop RX 580. This indicates that the RX 580's performance level at this point in the database's testing history is roughly equivalent to a mid-range mobile GPU from a later generation. The GTX 1660 SUPER, a desktop part, is also within a fraction of a percent, confirming that the RX 580 sits in a well-populated performance tier.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear and consistent with the measured FPS data. This system can run Inside at 1920x1080 with all four tested settings presets at or above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 71.6 FPS, which clears the playability threshold by a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, the system can maintain playable frame rates at Low and Medium settings, with Medium averaging 85.1 FPS. High and Ultra fall short at 56.4 and 51.5 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is playable, with an average of 67.6 FPS.

The overall combo rank of 3,365 out of 3,716 might suggest a weak system, but the game's modest requirements mean that even this lower-ranked combination can deliver smooth gameplay at the most common resolution. The CPU's strong 78th percentile ranking ensures that there is no processor bottleneck, while the GPU's 53rd percentile ranking is sufficient for this particular title at lower settings and resolutions.

For users with a 1920x1080 display, this system is fully capable of running Inside at maximum settings with frame rates above the 60 FPS threshold. For users with a 2560x1440 display, Medium settings provide a smooth experience, while High and Ultra would require accepting frame rates in the 50s. For 4K displays, the system can only manage Low settings to stay above 60 FPS, which may not be ideal given the visual quality trade-offs.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best settings that maintain 60 FPS or higher are Low, with an average FPS of 67.6. Medium falls to 57.2, which is below the playability threshold, so Low is the only viable option at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best settings that maintain 60 FPS or higher are Medium, with an average FPS of 85.1. Low averages 108.1 FPS, which is higher but comes with reduced visual quality. High and Ultra both fall below 60 FPS, so Medium represents the best balance of visual fidelity and performance at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best settings that maintain 60 FPS or higher are Ultra, with an average FPS of 71.6. This is the highest quality preset available, and it still clears the playability threshold by 11.6 FPS. All four presets are playable at this resolution, so users can choose based on their preference for visual quality versus frame rate headroom. The Ultra preset at 1080p delivers 71.6 FPS, which is only 4.9 FPS lower than High at 76.5 FPS, making Ultra the recommended choice for users with 1080p displays.
