Inside

The data for Inside with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 shows a combination that is overwhelmingly powerful for this 2016 puzzle platformer. Across every tested resolution and preset, the measured frame rates are far beyond the 60 FPS playability threshold, indicating that this hardware pairing is effectively overkill for the game’s demands. The following analysis breaks down the specific numbers, how this combo stacks up against other tested configurations, and what settings are optimal for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for this combination are exceptionally high at all three tested resolutions, with the lowest average being 131 FPS at 4K Ultra settings. At 1920x1080, the results start at 302 FPS on Low, scale down slightly to 278 FPS on Medium, and then settle at 232 FPS on High and 228 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 1080p provides the only min/max data in the entire dataset, showing a minimum of 237 FPS and a maximum of 320 FPS, which indicates an extremely stable frame delivery with virtually no dips.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains remarkably high. The Low preset achieves 270 FPS, Medium drops to 249 FPS, while High and Ultra are nearly identical at 208 FPS and 204 FPS respectively. The Medium preset at 1440p shows a minimum of 212 FPS and a maximum of 287 FPS, demonstrating that even at higher resolutions, the frame pacing is consistent and well above any competitive or high-refresh-rate display requirements.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5080 still delivers triple-digit frame rates across all settings. The Low preset hits 231 FPS, Medium reaches 214 FPS, and High drops to 138 FPS. The most demanding Ultra preset still manages an average of 131 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold. The only min/max data at 4K comes from the Medium preset, showing a minimum of 182 FPS and a maximum of 246 FPS, which is a wider range than at lower resolutions but still exceptionally smooth.

The pattern across all resolutions shows that the gap between Low and Medium is relatively small, while the jump from Medium to High and Ultra incurs a more significant performance cost. However, even the most demanding configuration tested — 4K Ultra at 131 FPS — leaves substantial headroom for additional graphical modifications or future driver optimizations.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 5080 ranks 639th out of 3716 tested combos for Inside, placing it in the top 17.2% of all configurations in the database. This ranking is somewhat surprising given the raw performance numbers, but it reflects the fact that Inside is a lightweight game that many modern systems can run at high frame rates, so the competition is dense at the top.

The CPU itself, the Ryzen 7 5700, sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 25,517. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon D-2752TER with an average score of 25,530 (a 0.1% difference), the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U at 25,485 (0.1% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H at 25,550 (0.1% lower). The Ryzen 7 5825U trails at 25,446, which is 0.3% behind. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming scenarios, especially for a title like Inside that does not heavily stress multi-threaded workloads.

The GPU, the RTX 5080, performs in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 56,083. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon 8060S at 55,757 (0.6% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55,698 (0.7% higher), and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54,828 (2.3% higher). The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE leads the group with a score of 57,367, which is 2.2% ahead of the RTX 5080. These margins are within the range of normal manufacturing variance and driver differences, but the RTX 5080 clearly sits in the upper echelon of available graphics cards.

Given the game’s age and low graphical complexity, the combo rank is more a reflection of the sheer number of capable systems in the database than a criticism of this specific pairing. The data confirms that this configuration is far more powerful than what Inside requires, and the rank would likely be much higher in a more demanding title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Inside reveals that the GPU is the primary performance driver, but the CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average frame rate is 302 FPS, which is 30.7% higher than the 231 FPS at 4K Low. This scaling suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of feeding frames quickly enough to allow the GPU to reach its maximum potential, but the GPU still has headroom to spare.

When comparing the Low to Ultra presets at the same resolution, the frame rate drops by 24.5% at 1080p (from 302 to 228 FPS), by 24.4% at 1440p (from 270 to 204 FPS), and by 43.3% at 4K (from 231 to 131 FPS). This widening gap at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the bottleneck as pixel count increases, which is typical for a game with simple geometry but high-resolution textures.

The CPU’s impact is visible when examining the scaling between presets. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 24 FPS (302 to 278), while at 4K the same preset change costs only 17 FPS (231 to 214). This indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU has more influence on the final frame rate because the GPU is not fully saturated. However, the Ryzen 7 5700’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz is more than sufficient for Inside’s single-threaded nature, as evidenced by the fact that even at 1080p Medium, the frame rate stays above 278 FPS.

The lack of min/max data for the High and Ultra presets at all resolutions suggests that the game’s performance is stable enough that the testing methodology did not record significant dips. The only min/max figures come from Medium presets, where the variation between minimum and maximum is 83 FPS at 1080p, 75 FPS at 1440p, and 64 FPS at 4K. This variation is likely due to scene complexity changes rather than CPU or GPU limitations.

A: No. The lowest recorded minimum across all Medium presets is 182 FPS at 4K, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, all tested presets are playable, but the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 228 FPS. This provides the best visual quality while still offering triple-digit frame rates that would satisfy any high-refresh-rate monitor.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best choice, with an average of 204 FPS. The performance headroom here is substantial, allowing for maximum graphical fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the optimal setting, achieving an average of 131 FPS. This is the most demanding configuration tested, yet it still more than doubles the 60 FPS threshold, making it the clear recommendation for 4K gaming.

In all cases, the data suggests that there is no reason to compromise on settings for this game. The RTX 5080 handles Inside with such ease that even the highest quality presets leave significant performance reserves.

The Verdict

The verdict is unequivocal: this PC can run Inside flawlessly at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The best settings for each resolution are Ultra, with average frame rates of 228 FPS at 1080p, 204 FPS at 1440p, and 131 FPS at 4K.

The Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 5080 combination is dramatically overqualified for this puzzle platformer. Even the lowest performance figure in the entire dataset — 131 FPS at 4K Ultra — is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay on any display, including those with high refresh rates. The only consideration for a user would be whether to enable additional external rendering features or frame limiting, as the raw performance exceeds what the game can meaningfully utilize.

For anyone building a system primarily for Inside, this hardware is excessive, but it does guarantee an experience free of any performance concerns, with enough headroom to run the game at maximum settings while also handling far more demanding titles. The measured data indicates that this combo ranks in the top 17.2% of all tested configurations for the game, and the actual frame rates place it among the fastest systems in the database.
