Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Inside, a side-scrolling puzzle platformer. The recorded data places this combination at rank 2615 out of 3716 tested combos in the database, which places it in the upper third of all systems but not at the very top. This ranking makes sense given the game’s modest graphical demands; the hardware is far more capable than the title requires, and the bottleneck is rarely ever stressed. The results across all resolutions and presets show that this combo is not just playable, it is overwhelmingly smooth, with every single measured configuration exceeding the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s position at 2615 out of 3716 tested combinations places it in the 70.4th percentile of all systems evaluated for Inside. This is a solid, above-average result, though the ranking does not tell the full story. The game is a 2D puzzle platformer with relatively simple geometry and lighting, so the raw power of this CPU and GPU combination is rarely taxed. The rank reflects that this system sits comfortably ahead of most tested combos, but it also indicates that higher-ranked systems likely use more powerful components that would be overkill for this title. The data suggests that the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 2060 SUPER are well-matched for Inside, delivering performance that is much closer to the top of the chart than the bottom. The percentile of 78 for the CPU and 62 for the GPU independently reinforces this, with the processor being the stronger relative asset. The combo rank is lower than the CPU percentile would suggest, meaning the GPU holds the system back slightly in the overall pool, but in practice this does not matter for Inside because the game’s demands are so low.

CPU and GPU Roles

Examining the scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component carries more weight. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system hits 279.1 FPS, but at 3840x2160 with Low settings, it drops to 128.5 FPS, a reduction of 54%. This large drop from 1080p to 4K at the same preset indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter when resolution increases, even for a lightweight game. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has ample headroom to handle the game’s logic and physics at any resolution, so the frame rate differences are driven almost entirely by the GPU’s pixel throughput. However, the CPU still matters at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 279.1 FPS result shows that the CPU can feed the GPU fast enough to reach very high frame rates, but at 4K Low, the GPU becomes the wall. The story changes slightly when looking at presets. At 1440p, going from Low (203.9 FPS) to Ultra (95.3 FPS) is a 53% drop, while at 4K, going from Low (128.5 FPS) to Ultra (61.5 FPS) is a 52% drop. This suggests that the preset scaling is consistent across resolutions, and the GPU handles the extra shading and effects without the CPU becoming a secondary bottleneck. The CPU’s single-thread score of 901 in 3DMark and its multi-thread score of 6617 indicate it is more than sufficient for a game that likely uses a handful of threads. The data implies that the GPU is the dominant factor for Inside, especially at 4K, but the CPU ensures that even the highest frame rates at 1080p are not artificially capped.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 sits very close to several other processors in average benchmark score. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER has an average score of 25530, which is just 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 7 5700’s 25517. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, only 0.1% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, 0.1% higher again. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446, 0.3% higher. These delta percentages are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning that swapping the Ryzen 7 5700 for any of these CPUs would result in virtually identical performance in Inside. The game is not CPU-intensive, so the choice between these chips would have no measurable impact on the frame rates recorded. For the GPU, the nearest rivals show a similar pattern. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile has an average score of 18159, which is 0.4% lower than the RTX 2060 SUPER’s 18093. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5% lower, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6% lower. These deltas are small, but they are slightly larger than the CPU deltas, indicating that GPU substitutes would cause a more noticeable, though still minor, change in frame rates. For Inside, any of these GPUs would produce results within a few FPS of each other at each resolution and preset, meaning users with these alternatives would see nearly identical performance.

FAQ

*Q: Can this system run Inside at 4K with the highest settings?*

A: Yes. The measured data shows an average of 61.5 FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the most demanding preset tested, and it still clears the target.

Q: What is the biggest performance difference between presets at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the average frame rate ranges from 279.1 FPS on Low to 133.2 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 145.9 FPS, which shows that the preset scaling has a significant effect, but even the lowest result is far above playable.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The GPU is more important, especially at higher resolutions. The frame rate drops by 54% from 1080p Low to 4K Low, which indicates the GPU’s pixel throughput is the limiting factor. The CPU has high single-thread and multi-thread scores, so it is not a bottleneck.

Q: How does this combo compare to other tested systems?

A: The combo ranks 2615 out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the upper third of all systems. The CPU is in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 62nd percentile, so the pairing is above average but not top-tier.

Q: What is the best resolution to play at for maximum smoothness?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the system achieves 133.2 FPS, which is the highest frame rate at the highest preset among all tested resolutions. If you want the smoothest experience, 1080p Ultra is the safest choice.

Q: Are there any settings that drop below 60 FPS?

A: No. Every measured combination of resolution and preset, from 4K Ultra to 1080p Low, stays above 60 FPS. The lowest recorded average is 60.5 FPS at 4K High, which still meets the playable threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 279.1 FPS, Medium drops to 221.6 FPS, High reaches 141.3 FPS, and Ultra sits at 133.2 FPS. The scaling is not linear; the jump from Medium to High is a 36% reduction, while the jump from High to Ultra is only a 6% reduction, suggesting that High and Ultra are similar in demand. At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low averages 203.9 FPS, Medium reaches 161.7 FPS, High drops to 101.2 FPS, and Ultra goes down to 95.3 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra is 28%, which is a moderate hit. At 3840x2160, the numbers fall further. Low averages 128.5 FPS, Medium hits 103 FPS, High drops to 60.5 FPS, and Ultra reaches 61.5 FPS. Interestingly, High and Ultra are almost identical at 4K, with a difference of just 1 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 42.5 FPS. This indicates that the highest presets are not meaningfully more demanding than the second-highest at this resolution. The minimum and maximum frame rates are not recorded in the database, so only the averages can be used for analysis. Across all 12 configurations, the lowest average is 60.5 FPS at 4K High, which is right at the threshold, and the highest is 279.1 FPS at 1080p Low, showing the system’s wide range.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 133.2 FPS. This is not just playable, it is far above the threshold, so users can max out the game at this resolution without any concern. For 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 95.3 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS, leaving plenty of headroom for any sudden scene complexity. For 3840x2160, the best settings are again Ultra, with an average of 61.5 FPS. This is just barely above the 60 FPS threshold, so it is playable but with less margin. The verdict by resolution confirms that all three resolutions can run the game at Ultra settings, but the 4K result is the closest to the edge. If you want a safer margin at 4K, dropping to High yields 60.5 FPS, which is virtually the same, while Medium jumps to 103 FPS, providing a much larger buffer. The database shows that the system is not stressed until 4K Ultra, and even then it only just crosses the playable line.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset tested. The verdict by resolution lists all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. At 1080p, the worst case is Ultra at 133.2 FPS, which is more than twice the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Ultra at 95.3 FPS still leaves a 35.3 FPS buffer. At 4K, Ultra at 61.5 FPS clears the threshold but by a slim margin. The weakest point in the entire dataset is 4K High at 60.5 FPS, which is the lowest average recorded, but it still qualifies as playable. The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 2060 SUPER is overqualified for this game, and the only scenario where the hardware is pushed near its limit is 4K Ultra. For anyone with this system, the recommendation is to play at the highest settings your display supports. At 1080p or 1440p, you can enable Ultra and enjoy frame rates that are double or more the playable threshold. At 4K, Ultra is still achievable, but if you prefer a larger safety margin, dropping to Medium more than doubles the frame rate to 103 FPS. Overall, this system turns Inside into a completely smooth experience, with no settings combination falling below the 60 FPS mark.
