Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a highly capable Inside experience, with the data showing 60 FPS playability at every tested resolution, though 4K Ultra falls just short of the threshold. The benchmark results indicate that this system excels at 1080p and 1440p, where it sustains triple-digit frame rates on demanding presets, while 4K requires a settings reduction to Medium for a smooth experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 240 FPS, while Medium settings achieve 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 221 FPS. High settings deliver 120 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain 114 FPS. These figures show that the hardware has substantial headroom at 1080p, with even the most demanding preset running at nearly double the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains impressive but shows expected scaling. Low settings yield 172 FPS, Medium settings produce 138 FPS with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS, High settings reach 86 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 82 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 28-29% across presets, indicating a balanced load between the CPU and GPU at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system faces its greatest challenge. Low settings still manage 108 FPS, and Medium settings achieve 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS. High settings fall to 54 FPS, while Ultra settings bottom out at 52 FPS. The 4K results reveal a clear performance cliff between Medium and High, suggesting that the GPU's memory bandwidth or rasterization throughput becomes a limiting factor beyond the Medium preset. The data shows that 4K Ultra and High fail to meet the 60 FPS playability threshold, while Low and Medium comfortably exceed it.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its performance ceiling. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 sits within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, with the latter scoring 25446 against the 5700's 25517. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER and AMD Ryzen 5 6600H both trail by 0.1% with scores of 25530 and 25550 respectively, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U leads by 0.1% with a score of 25485. These margins are negligible, meaning any of these CPUs would produce virtually identical frame rates in Inside.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals show similar tight clustering. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a 0.1% advantage over the B570's 20556. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile trails by 0.1% with a score of 20534, while the AMD Radeon R9 M390X leads by 0.5% with 20662 and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M trails by 0.4% with 20480. In practical terms, swapping the B570 for any of these alternatives would yield frame rate differences of less than one percent, so gamers can expect comparable Inside performance across this hardware cluster.

The combo rank of 2983 out of 3716 tested combinations places this system in the lower-middle range of all configurations, yet the game's modest requirements mean this ranking does not translate to poor playability. The percentile ranks reinforce this: the CPU sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU occupies the 65th percentile among all GPUs.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between components. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS drops by approximately 28-29% across all presets, which is a moderate decrease. From 1440p to 4K, the drop becomes more severe, ranging from 30-37% depending on the preset. This pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as resolution increases, while the CPU's role diminishes.

At 1080p, the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample headroom, as evidenced by the 240 FPS result on Low settings. The Ryzen 7 5700's single-thread score of 901 in 3dmark and 2916 in Cinebench R23 suggest it can feed the GPU efficiently at lower resolutions. The 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient for Inside's puzzle-platformer logic and physics calculations.

At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly toward the GPU. The Intel Arc B570's 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 performance become more relevant. The transition from 1080p Medium to 1440p Medium shows a 28% FPS reduction, which aligns with the increase in pixel count. This suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, though the CPU still contributes meaningfully.

At 4K, the GPU's role becomes dominant. The B570's 160-bit memory bus and 10 GB GDDR6 memory face significant pressure from the 8.3 million pixels at 3840x2160. The performance cliff between Medium (87 FPS) and High (54 FPS) indicates a bandwidth or fill-rate limitation rather than a compute limitation. The CPU's influence at 4K is minimal, as the frame rate differences between presets are entirely GPU-driven.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Inside successfully at all tested resolutions, though not on every preset. At 1920x1080, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 114 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same four presets remain playable, with Ultra achieving 82 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 87 FPS.

The 4K results require careful interpretation. High settings average 54 FPS and Ultra averages 52 FPS, both below the 60 FPS playability threshold. However, the margin is relatively small, and the Medium preset's 87 FPS average with a 74 FPS minimum provides substantial cushioning. The verdict by resolution confirms this: 4K playable settings are Low and Medium, 1440p playable settings include all four presets, and 1080p playable settings include all four presets.

For gamers prioritizing visual fidelity, the 1440p Ultra experience at 82 FPS represents the best balance of quality and smoothness. For those with 4K displays, the Medium preset at 87 FPS offers a stable, responsive experience that exceeds the playability threshold by a comfortable margin.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains 60 FPS or higher is Medium, which averages 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS. The High preset's 54 FPS average disqualifies it, and Ultra's 52 FPS is similarly below threshold. This makes Medium the clear choice for 4K gaming, providing 45% more performance than High while maintaining acceptable visual quality.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is the best setting, averaging 82 FPS. This preset delivers the highest visual quality while still exceeding the 60 FPS threshold by 37%. The next option, High, averages 86 FPS, but Ultra's additional graphical features come at a modest 4 FPS cost. The data shows that 1440p Ultra provides the optimal experience for this hardware.

At 1920x1080, Ultra again takes the top spot with an average of 114 FPS. This represents a 39% improvement over the 60 FPS threshold, providing ample headroom for demanding scenes. The progression from Medium (192 FPS) to High (120 FPS) to Ultra (114 FPS) shows diminishing returns, but Ultra remains comfortably playable. For maximum smoothness on high-refresh displays, the Low preset's 240 FPS average offers the best option.
