Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 (launch MSRP $179) paired with the Intel Arc B390 delivers playable frame rates in Inside at 1080p across every preset, but the integrated GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The combination ranks 3296th out of 3716 tested combos in this game, placing it near the bottom of the database, yet the measured performance shows that the game itself is not overly demanding. The CPU sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 9th percentile, a stark contrast that explains the bottleneck at 1440p and 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 3296 out of 3716 tested combinations indicates a low standing among all systems evaluated for Inside. Only 420 combos perform worse, meaning the majority of tested hardware outperforms this pairing. However, the rank is heavily influenced by the GPU’s weak standing: the Intel Arc B390 falls in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 reaches the 78th percentile of all CPUs. This disparity suggests that the CPU is more than capable for the game, but the integrated graphics solution holds back the overall result.

Despite the low combo rank, the measured FPS data shows that the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold in many scenarios. At 1920x1080, even the Ultra preset averages 74 FPS, and the Low preset reaches 156 FPS. At 2560x1440, Medium averages 90 FPS, but Ultra drops to 53 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low averages 70 FPS, while Medium falls to 56 FPS. Thus, the rank reflects the GPU’s overall weakness across other workloads, but for Inside specifically, the combo can be playable at lower resolutions and presets.

FAQ

Q: What is the combo’s ranking among tested systems for Inside?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + Intel Arc B390 ranks 3296th out of 3716 tested combos, meaning it outperforms only 420 other configurations in this game.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The CPU’s average benchmark score is 25517. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25530, -0.1% delta), AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25485, +0.1% delta), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25550, -0.1% delta), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (25446, +0.3% delta). Performance is essentially identical, within a fraction of a percent.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The GPU’s only recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, yields a score of 1482. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463, +1.3% delta), NVIDIA GeForce 800M (1460, +1.5% delta), NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (1446, +2.5% delta), and NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (1443, +2.7% delta). The B390 is slightly faster than all of them.

Q: What are the measured frame rates at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 156 FPS, Medium 125 FPS (min 106, max 144), High 78 FPS, and Ultra 74 FPS. All presets stay well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: Is the combo playable at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, only the Low preset averages 70 FPS. Medium averages 56 FPS, High 35 FPS, and Ultra 34 FPS. Therefore, 4K playability is limited to Low settings.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p that maintains 60 FPS?

A: At 2560x1440, the Medium preset averages 90 FPS (min 76, max 103) and is the highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Low averages 112 FPS, while High (56 FPS) and Ultra (53 FPS) fall below.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database provides average, minimum, and maximum frame rates for each resolution and preset combination. For entries where min/max are not recorded, only the average is available.

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: avg 70 FPS
• Medium: avg 56 FPS, min 48, max 65
• High: avg 35 FPS
• Ultra: avg 34 FPS

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: avg 112 FPS
• Medium: avg 90 FPS, min 76, max 103
• High: avg 56 FPS
• Ultra: avg 53 FPS

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: avg 156 FPS
• Medium: avg 125 FPS, min 106, max 144
• High: avg 78 FPS
• Ultra: avg 74 FPS

These numbers reveal a clear pattern: the integrated GPU scales poorly with resolution. At 1080p, even the most demanding preset clears 60 FPS by a wide margin. At 1440p, the gap narrows, and only Low and Medium stay above the threshold. At 4K, only the lowest preset remains playable, and even then the average is just 10 FPS above the 60 FPS line.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals in the database, several CPUs and GPUs would produce similar behavior in this combination. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25517 is essentially matched by the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25530, -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25485, +0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25550, -0.1%), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (25446, +0.3%). Any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Inside.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B390’s score of 1482 is closely followed by the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463, +1.3%), NVIDIA GeForce 800M (1460, +1.5%), NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (1446, +2.5%), and NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (1443, +2.7%). These discrete GPUs, though older, would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of the B390, meaning users with such hardware can expect similar playability at the same resolution and preset combinations.

Because the GPU is an integrated part (IGP) with system-shared memory, its performance depends heavily on the host system’s memory bandwidth. The database notes the memory bandwidth as "System Dependent," so results may vary across different motherboards and RAM configurations. Still, the measured FPS for this specific combo stands as recorded.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is the target for each resolution.

• 3840x2160: Only the Low preset achieves 60+ FPS, with an average of 70 FPS. Medium drops to 56 FPS, so Low is the highest playable setting.
• 2560x1440: The Medium preset averages 90 FPS (min 76, max 103), making it the highest preset that stays above the threshold. High and Ultra fall to 56 and 53 FPS respectively.
• 1920x1080: The Ultra preset averages 74 FPS, so all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable. Ultra is the most demanding option that still clears 60 FPS.

These recommendations maximize visual quality while ensuring smooth gameplay. At 1080p, users can run the game at maximum settings without compromise. At 1440p, Medium offers a balance of fidelity and performance. At 4K, only the lowest settings are viable.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + Intel Arc B390 can run Inside, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, all presets average above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 74 FPS and Low at 156 FPS, making the game fully playable at any setting. At 2560x1440, the combo clears 60 FPS on Low (112 FPS) and Medium (90 FPS), but High (56 FPS) and Ultra (53 FPS) fall short. At 3840x2160, only Low averages 70 FPS; Medium (56 FPS), High (35 FPS), and Ultra (34 FPS) are not playable.

The CPU is more than sufficient for this title, as its 78th percentile ranking and strong multi-threaded scores (e.g., Cinebench R23 multicore 20655) indicate. The GPU, however, is the bottleneck, sitting in the 9th percentile and offering only 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, the integrated graphics can still deliver a smooth experience at 1080p, but users targeting 1440p or 4K will need to lower settings or consider a discrete GPU. The data confirms that this combo is a capable 1080p machine for Inside, with limited headroom for higher resolutions.
