Inside

Inside is a puzzle platformer that places relatively light demands on a desktop system, but the measured frame rates for this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B370 show that resolution and settings choices matter significantly. The database records a clear progression from a fully playable experience at lower resolutions to a marginal one at 4K. The analysis below walks through the recorded FPS data, component roles, and how this pairing compares to other tested hardware.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS varies sharply by resolution. At 1920x1080, the database shows the system can handle the maximum preset, with Ultra settings averaging 67 FPS. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset clears the playable threshold. High settings at 1080p average 70 FPS, which is also above 60, but the Ultra preset is the more demanding option that still succeeds.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting shifts to Medium. The recorded average at Medium is 81 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at this resolution drops to 51 FPS, which fails to meet the playable threshold, and Ultra averages 48 FPS. Therefore, Medium is the highest quality setting that remains fluid at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes restrictive. The only playable preset is Low, which averages 64 FPS. Every higher setting falls below 60 FPS: Medium averages 51 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 30 FPS. The data indicates that 4K gaming with this hardware requires significant compromises in visual quality, with Low being the sole viable option.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS data reveals how the balance of responsibility shifts between the CPU and GPU as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 141 FPS on Low settings. This high frame rate suggests the CPU, an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with 8 cores and 16 threads, is capable of feeding the Intel Arc B370 effectively at this resolution. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces the average to 67 FPS, a drop of 74 FPS. This is a substantial decrease, indicating that the GPU is already becoming the limiting factor as settings increase, even at the lowest resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 101 FPS, which is 40 FPS lower than at 1080p. This scaling shows that the GPU is taking on more work as pixel count rises. At Medium settings, the 1440p average is 81 FPS, compared to 113 FPS at 1080p, a reduction of 32 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 1440p is 20 FPS, similar to the 28 FPS gap at 1080p. This consistency suggests that the GPU is now the dominant factor, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom.

At 3840x2160, the GPU bottleneck becomes pronounced. The Low preset averages 64 FPS, which is 37 FPS lower than at 1440p and 77 FPS lower than at 1080p. The Medium preset at 4K averages 51 FPS, and the gap between Low and Medium shrinks to 13 FPS. The High and Ultra presets at 4K produce only 32 FPS and 30 FPS, respectively. These numbers indicate that at 4K, the Intel Arc B370 is severely constrained, and the CPU's role is largely irrelevant beyond ensuring the GPU is fed. The data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p, the CPU matters more; at 1440p, the GPU begins to dominate; at 4K, the GPU is the sole limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080: The database records the highest frame rates at this resolution. Low settings produce an average of 141 FPS. Medium settings average 113 FPS, with a minimum of 96 FPS and a maximum of 130 FPS. High settings average 70 FPS. Ultra settings average 67 FPS. All four presets exceed the 60 FPS threshold, making 1080p the most flexible resolution for this combination.

2560x1440: Performance drops noticeably at this resolution. Low settings average 101 FPS. Medium settings average 81 FPS, with a minimum of 69 FPS and a maximum of 93 FPS. High settings average 51 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold. Ultra settings average 48 FPS. Only Low and Medium presets maintain an average above 60 FPS.

3840x2160: The recorded data shows the steepest decline at 4K. Low settings average 64 FPS, barely clearing the threshold. Medium settings average 51 FPS, with a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 59 FPS. High settings average 32 FPS. Ultra settings average 30 FPS. Only the Low preset remains playable at this resolution, and even it does not have a recorded minimum FPS to confirm consistency.

The Verdict

According to the database's verdict by resolution, this system can run Inside, but the playable settings differ greatly. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on all four presets: Low (141 FPS), Medium (113 FPS), High (70 FPS), and Ultra (67 FPS). This is the definitive resolution for this hardware, as it allows the player to use the highest visual quality without concern.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable on two presets. Low averages 101 FPS, and Medium averages 81 FPS. High and Ultra fall short at 51 FPS and 48 FPS, respectively. For a 1440p display, the recommendation is to use Medium settings, which provide the best balance of quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the system is playable only on Low, with an average of 64 FPS. The other presets fail to reach 60 FPS, with Medium at 51 FPS, High at 32 FPS, and Ultra at 30 FPS. The verdict is clear: 4K gaming is possible but requires the lowest settings, and even then, the margin above 60 FPS is slim. The overall answer is yes, this PC can run Inside, but the experience at 4K will be visually compromised.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is closely matched by several other CPUs in the database. The Intel Core i9-9900K has an average benchmark score of 27097, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 7 5700G's score. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, which is 0.4% lower. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, which is 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, which is 0.6% lower. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside when paired with the same GPU, as the game is not CPU-intensive at higher resolutions.

The Intel Arc B370 has a much more limited set of rivals. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% lower. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, which is 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. These are all older or lower-tier GPUs, and the delta percentages are small, meaning the Arc B370 would behave very similarly to these parts in terms of raw benchmark performance. However, the Arc B370 supports modern APIs like DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, which older rivals may not, potentially affecting real-world game compatibility beyond the raw scores.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's overall ranking for Inside, this combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3422 out of 3716 tested combos. This places it in the lower percentile of tested systems, which is consistent with the GPU's low benchmark percentile of 5% against all GPUs. The CPU, by contrast, has a percentile of 79% against all CPUs, indicating that the processor is far more capable than the graphics component. The ranking reflects that this system is held back primarily by the GPU, and for a game like Inside, the frame rates are sufficient at lower resolutions but not exceptional compared to the broader set of tested hardware.
