Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an extreme pairing for Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. The benchmark data shows this combination delivers overwhelming performance, with every resolution and preset tested exceeding 140 FPS on average. This is a case where the hardware is dramatically overqualified for the game's demands, but the resulting experience is buttery-smooth across the board.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K Ultra settings?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 Ultra settings, the average FPS is 140, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best settings preset at 1440p?

A: Ultra is the best preset at 2560x1440, delivering an average of 204 FPS. All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at this resolution.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K at High settings?

A: The average FPS drops from 232 at 1920x1080 to 147 at 3840x2160 at High settings, a reduction of 85 FPS. This indicates the game becomes more demanding at higher resolutions, but the GPU handles it easily.

Q: Is there a big difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: Yes, the difference is 74 FPS. Low averages 302 FPS, while Ultra averages 228 FPS at 1920x1080.

Q: What is the combo's rank among all tested combinations for this game?

A: The combo ranks 609 out of 3716 tested combos, placing it in the top 16.4% of all configurations tested for Inside.

Q: Are the benchmark results measured or estimated?

A: The data is marked as `dataIsMeasured: true`, meaning the FPS numbers come from actual testing rather than projections.

CPU and GPU Roles

For Inside, the data shows that the GPU is the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, while the CPU provides ample headroom. The Ryzen 7 5700, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is more than sufficient for this game's physics and logic, as evidenced by the high frame rates even at Low settings. The RTX 4090, however, carries the load for rendering, and its performance scaling across resolutions reveals where the bottleneck shifts.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high: Low averages 302 FPS, Medium 278 FPS, High 232 FPS, and Ultra 228 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 74 FPS, but even the lowest preset is far beyond the 60 FPS threshold. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop slightly: Low hits 270 FPS, Medium 249 FPS, High 208 FPS, and Ultra 204 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at High is a 24 FPS reduction, showing a moderate GPU load increase.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. High drops to 147 FPS, Low to 231 FPS, Medium to 214 FPS, and Ultra to 140 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 91 FPS, compared to 74 FPS at 1080p. This widening gap indicates that at 4K, the GPU's rendering workload dominates, while at 1080p, the CPU is better able to keep up with the GPU's output. The CPU's single-thread performance, as shown by its 3DMark single-thread score of 901, is robust enough to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at the highest frame rates. The data suggests that for this game, the RTX 4090 is the star, and the Ryzen 7 5700 provides a solid foundation without holding it back.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 609 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside, which puts it in the 84th percentile of all configs. This is a strong showing, but it's also importantly the rank is driven by the GPU's raw power. The RTX 4090 sits in the 88th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 60347. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc Pro A60 (0% delta) and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (2.5% lower). In contrast, the Ryzen 7 5700 is in the 78th percentile among CPUs, with an average score of 25517, and its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, is 0.3% faster.

Given that Inside is a lightweight puzzle platformer, the GPU's dominance in this combo is expected. The high rank indicates that this pairing is overkill for the game, but it does ensure maximum performance across all settings. The 609th rank out of 3716 means there are 608 combos that perform better, likely those with even more powerful GPUs or newer CPUs, but the difference in actual FPS for this game would be negligible. The data shows that the combo is well above the median, and the measured FPS numbers confirm that it clears the 60 FPS threshold with massive headroom at every resolution and preset.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Inside without breaking a sweat. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra averaging 140 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same is true, with Ultra averaging 204 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, and Ultra averages 228 FPS.

The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and every single measured configuration clears it by a wide margin. The lowest average FPS recorded is 140 at 4K Ultra, which is more than double the threshold. This means you can max out the game's settings at any resolution without worrying about performance dips. The minimum FPS values, where provided, also stay above the threshold: at 4K Medium, the minimum is 182 FPS, and at 1080p Medium, it's 237 FPS. This is a combination that will not struggle with Inside under any circumstances.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all resolutions and settings. Here is the full breakdown:

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: Average 231 FPS (min/max not provided)
• Medium: Average 214 FPS, Minimum 182 FPS, Maximum 246 FPS
• High: Average 147 FPS (min/max not provided)
• Ultra: Average 140 FPS (min/max not provided)

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: Average 270 FPS (min/max not provided)
• Medium: Average 249 FPS, Minimum 212 FPS, Maximum 287 FPS
• High: Average 208 FPS (min/max not provided)
• Ultra: Average 204 FPS (min/max not provided)

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: Average 302 FPS (min/max not provided)
• Medium: Average 278 FPS, Minimum 237 FPS, Maximum 320 FPS
• High: Average 232 FPS (min/max not provided)
• Ultra: Average 228 FPS (min/max not provided)

The pattern is consistent: frame rates scale down as resolution increases, and higher presets cost more performance. The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data, and it shows stable performance with a 64 FPS spread at 4K (182-246), a 75 FPS spread at 1440p (212-287), and an 83 FPS spread at 1080p (237-320). This indicates that the game runs smoothly without major frame time spikes, even at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data identifies the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution. Since all presets clear 60 FPS, the best settings are always Ultra.

3840x2160 (4K): Ultra is the best preset, averaging 140 FPS. This is the most demanding setting, and it still delivers more than double the 60 FPS threshold.

2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra is the best preset, averaging 204 FPS. The jump from 4K to 1440p yields a 64 FPS improvement at Ultra, showing how resolution scaling affects the GPU load.

1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra is the best preset, averaging 228 FPS. At this resolution, the GPU is barely taxed, and the 24 FPS difference between 1440p and 1080p at Ultra highlights the headroom available.

For players who want to maximize visual quality, Ultra is the clear choice at every resolution. The RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth ensure that even 4K textures load without issue, and the 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power handles the game's rendering effortlessly. The Ryzen 7 5700's 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are more than adequate for the game's logic, and the 65W TDP means it won't contribute to thermal issues. In short, there is no reason to lower any setting in Inside with this hardware.
