Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a resounding performance verdict for Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. Benchmark data confirms that this pairing not only meets but decisively exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold across every tested resolution and preset, making it a high-refresh-rate powerhouse for this title.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader database of tested CPU and GPU pairings, this specific configuration sits at rank 1957 out of 3716 combos, placing it in the 53rd percentile of all tested systems. This mid-pack ranking is somewhat deceiving given the game’s age and modest graphical demands; the absolute frame rates achieved are exceptionally high, but the ranking reflects the fact that many other, more expensive combinations also max out this title’s frame rate ceiling. The CPU’s performance percentile is notably higher than the GPU’s, with the Ryzen 7 5700G landing in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, while the RTX 4060 sits in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. This suggests the processor is the more dominant component relative to its peers.

The CPU benchmarks reveal a strong 8-core, 16-thread part. Its average benchmark score of 27051 places it in a tight pack with rivals like the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097 (a -0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, which scores 26936 (a +0.4% delta). This indicates the 5700G is essentially performance-equivalent to those chips in general compute tasks. The GPU, with an average score of 17639, is similarly closely matched with its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17666, -0.2% delta) and AMD Radeon 780M (17588, +0.3% delta). While the ranking is mid-pack, the data shows that in the context of Inside, the bottleneck is almost never felt, as frame rates are consistently more than double the playability target.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data indicates that the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is, in fact, the maximum preset at every resolution. There is no need to compromise on visual quality to achieve a playable experience.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the Ultra preset delivers an average of 74.5 FPS. This is the best settings choice, as it provides the highest visual fidelity while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold with a comfortable margin. The High preset also clears the threshold at 73.5 FPS, but Ultra is the superior choice for maximum quality.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the Ultra preset is again the recommended choice, producing an average of 111.8 FPS. This frame rate is high enough for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The High preset achieves 118.7 FPS, but again, Ultra offers more visual features with only a minor performance trade-off.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset reigns supreme with an average of 161.1 FPS. This is the optimal configuration for esports-level smoothness and responsiveness, far exceeding the 60 FPS target. The performance headroom is substantial, allowing for maximum settings without any concerns about frame drops.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals a clear pattern in how the workload is distributed. Inside is a relatively light game, and the bottleneck shifts depending on the settings and resolution.

At 1080p, the CPU plays a more significant role. The jump from Low (300.3 FPS) to Ultra (161.1 FPS) shows a 46% performance decrease, indicating that the GPU is being tasked with more work as settings increase, but the CPU is still able to feed frames at a very high rate. The data shows the CPU’s high single-thread performance (a Geekbench single-core score of 1894) is more than sufficient for this title’s physics and logic.

At 1440p, the GPU’s load increases. The scaling from 1080p Ultra (161.1 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (111.8 FPS) shows a 31% drop, which is a typical resolution scaling penalty. This indicates that the RTX 4060 is becoming the primary limiter, though it still performs admirably. The GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for the textures at this resolution.

At 4K, the GPU is definitively the dominant component. The performance drop from 1440p Ultra (111.8 FPS) to 4K Ultra (74.5 FPS) is another 33% decrease, further confirming the GPU-bound nature of the workload at this resolution. The RTX 4060’s 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is being fully utilized, but it still manages to keep the frame rate well above 60 FPS. The CPU’s role diminishes here, as its 3dmark single-thread score of 899 is not the limiting factor at this high pixel count. The data supports that the RTX 4060 is the primary driver of performance at 4K, while the Ryzen 7 5700G provides a stable foundation that never bottlenecks the frame delivery.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table details the exact average frame rates measured for each resolution and settings preset. Min and max FPS data were not available.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

| :--------- | :------- | :---------- |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 148.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 117.4 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 73.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 74.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 239.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 193.5 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 118.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 111.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 300.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 264.0 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 166.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 161.1 |

The data shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern. At every resolution, the Low preset offers the highest frame rate, followed by Medium, then High and Ultra, which are nearly identical. The most significant performance jump occurs between Medium and High settings, suggesting a large leap in graphical fidelity. For example, at 1440p, the drop from Medium (193.5 FPS) to High (118.7 FPS) is a 39% reduction, whereas the drop from High to Ultra (111.8 FPS) is only 6%. This indicates that the High preset introduces a major visual feature that is costly to render, while Ultra adds diminishing returns for the performance cost.

The Verdict

The data unequivocally answers the question: yes, this PC can run Inside exceptionally well. The verdict by resolution is clear-cut, with all resolutions and presets clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system is fully playable on all settings. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, runs at an average of 74.5 FPS, providing a smooth and visually rich 4K experience. At 2560x1440, performance is outstanding, with Ultra averaging 111.8 FPS, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming. Finally, at 1920x1080, the system is massively overqualified, with Ultra averaging 161.1 FPS. This configuration offers an exceptional experience for Inside at any resolution, with no need to lower settings to achieve a target frame rate. The only minor caveat is the lack of min/max FPS data, but the high average scores suggest consistent performance.
