Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Across all tested resolutions and settings, the measured frame rates consistently exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold, with the lowest average being 74 FPS at 4K Ultra settings. This pairing demonstrates that the game’s modest graphical demands are easily handled by this mid-range hardware, making it a robust choice for high-refresh-rate displays even at maximum preset levels.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this combo each have close rivals based on their aggregate benchmark averages. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700, scoring an average of 25,517 across all tests, sits at the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest competitor, the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, scores 25,530, representing just a 0.1% difference in performance. Similarly, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25,550, also within 0.1% of the Ryzen 7 5700, indicating that these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Inside. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25,485) and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (25,446) are 0.1% and 0.3% slower, respectively, meaning users with those chips would see negligible performance differences in this title.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 posts an average score of 17,639, placing it at the 61st percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rival is the AMD Radeon HD 7790, with a score of 17,666, which is 0.2% higher. This indicates that the Radeon HD 7790 could provide virtually identical FPS in Inside. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17,588 (0.3% slower), while the AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460 trail by 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively. These deltas are negligible, so any of these GPUs would produce statistically similar frame rates when paired with the same CPU.

CPU and GPU Roles

In Inside, the GPU is the primary driver of performance scaling between resolutions, while the CPU remains largely sufficient across all settings. The data shows that as resolution increases, the average FPS drops substantially, indicating that the graphics card bears the load. For instance, at Ultra settings, the average FPS falls from 157.3 at 1080p to 111.8 at 1440p, and further to 74 at 4K. This is a 29% decrease between 1080p and 1440p, and a 34% decrease between 1440p and 4K, demonstrating that higher pixel counts directly tax the RTX 4060.

The CPU’s influence is more evident when considering the difference between Low and Ultra settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 301.1 FPS, while at 1080p Ultra it drops to 157.3 FPS. This 48% reduction indicates that while the CPU can handle a high number of draw calls, the GPU’s processing of new effects and textures at higher presets becomes the limiting factor. At 4K, the gap between Low (149.6 FPS) and Ultra (74 FPS) is similar in proportion, confirming that the GPU is consistently the more critical component across all resolutions.

Given the very high frame rates, especially at 1080p, the Ryzen 7 5700 with its 8 cores and 16 threads provides ample headroom. The CPU’s single-thread score of 3,296 in Passmark suggests it can feed the GPU effectively without becoming a bottleneck, even at the high FPS values observed in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system exhibits a range of performance across the four presets. On Low settings, the average FPS is 301.1. This drops to 265.8 FPS on Medium, a 12% reduction. High settings yield 166.2 FPS, which is a 37% decrease from Medium. Ultra settings produce 157.3 FPS, just 5.4% lower than High. These results indicate that the most significant performance hit occurs between Medium and High, while the visual upgrade from High to Ultra costs relatively little.

At 2560x1440, the pattern holds with lower absolute numbers. Low settings average 239.9 FPS, while Medium sees 191.2 FPS, a 20% drop. High settings reduce performance to 118.8 FPS, a 38% decrease from Medium. Ultra is 111.8 FPS, only 5.9% lower than High. The scaling pattern is consistent with 1080p, with the medium-to-high transition being the largest performance cliff.

At 3840x2160, the performance is still strong but more constrained. Low averages 149.6 FPS, and Medium is 118.5 FPS, a 21% decline. High settings reach 76.7 FPS, a 35% decrease from Medium. Ultra is 74 FPS, a modest 3.5% reduction from High. While all four presets clear the 60 FPS playable threshold, the Ultra preset’s 74 FPS average suggests that users with a 60 Hz 4K display will have a comfortable experience, but those seeking very high refresh rates at this resolution may prefer lower settings.

The Verdict

The benchmark data unequivocally answers whether this PC can run Inside: yes, it can run all settings at all tested resolutions with performance well above the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict by resolution confirms that every preset is playable. At 3840x2160, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are playable, with the best setting being Ultra at an average of 74 FPS. At 2560x1440, 1440p is also fully playable at every preset, and Ultra delivers an average of 111.8 FPS. Finally, at 1920x1080, all settings are playable, and Ultra provides a high average of 157.3 FPS.

For users with a 60 Hz monitor, the minimum frame rate observed in any scenario is 74 FPS, which is 23% above the threshold, ensuring a smooth experience without drops below the refresh rate. Even the most demanding configuration (4K Ultra) remains comfortably above 60 FPS, so there are no situations where the game would feel stuttery or unresponsive due to low frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra at every resolution. For 3840x2160, the Ultra preset yields an average of 74 FPS. This is the clear choice for visual quality, as it is the highest preset and still maintains a 14 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS floor. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 111.8 FPS, which is 86% higher than the 60 FPS threshold. This allows for a high refresh rate at 1440p with maximum graphics.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is also the recommended setting, delivering an average of 157.3 FPS. This is over 2.5 times the playable threshold, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming monitors, as it can easily drive a 144 Hz panel without dropping below its refresh rate. The data shows that there is no reason to lower the preset for any resolution, as even the most demanding option remains fully playable.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce R TX 4060 holds a rank of 1953 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside. This places the pair in the lower middle of the database, with roughly 1,763 other configurations being faster. This ranking is not a reflection of poor performance, but rather of the game’s age and the inclusion of many more powerful components in the benchmark pool.

The measured FPS indicate that the combo is more than sufficient for the game’s requirements. The high frame rates at all settings and resolutions demonstrate that the CPU-GPU pairing is not limiting the experience. The rank is 52.5% of the total combos, meaning a significant portion of the tested setups yield higher average FPS, but the absolute performance is still high. For a game like Inside, which is a puzzle platformer without intense physics or large, this rank is entirely acceptable.
