CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Inside's frame rates. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 218.7 FPS, while at 2560x1440 it drops to 157.8 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it falls to 96.5 FPS. This represents a 55.7% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU becomes progressively more influential as resolution increases.

The CPU's role is more apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU has less work per frame. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 303.9 FPS, which is close to the CPU's rendering limits for this title. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, provides sufficient single-thread performance for this game, as evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and PassMark single-thread score of 3283. At higher resolutions, the GPU's capabilities become the limiting factor, with the RTX 4070's 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 performance driving the frame rates.

The scaling between presets at each resolution further illustrates this dynamic. At 4K, moving from Low (206.6 FPS) to Ultra (96.5 FPS) reduces performance by 53.3%, while at 1080p, the same preset change results in a 28.0% reduction (from 303.9 to 218.7 FPS). This pattern confirms that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, while the CPU plays a more significant role at 1080p. The medium preset at 1440p (248.4 FPS) versus High (165.4 FPS) shows a 33.4% difference, highlighting how settings affect GPU load more than CPU load.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside at all tested settings and resolutions, with performance far exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdict data lists every preset as playable at every resolution, with no exceptions. At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Ultra with an average of 96.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 157.8 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 218.7 FPS.

The margin above the 60 FPS threshold is substantial in all cases. Even the most demanding configuration tested — 4K Ultra — maintains a 36.5 FPS buffer over the playability cutoff. The lowest average frame rate across all tests is 96.5 FPS, which occurs at 4K Ultra. This means the system never dips below the threshold in any tested scenario, and the minimum frame rates, while not recorded, would need to drop by over 36 FPS from the average to cause issues.

For users with high-refresh-rate displays, the system provides sufficient performance at 1440p and 1080p to take advantage of 144Hz or even 240Hz monitors. At 1440p Ultra, the 157.8 FPS average comfortably exceeds 144Hz, while at 1080p Ultra, the 218.7 FPS average approaches 240Hz territory. The data suggests this combination is overkill for Inside, providing excellent future-proofing for more demanding titles or higher refresh rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core i9-9900K with a score of 27097 (0.2% lower than the Ryzen 7 5700G's 27051), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 at 26936 (0.4% higher), the Intel Core i5-14400T at 27166 (0.4% lower), and the Intel Core i7-1370P at 26900 (0.6% higher). These processors would deliver nearly identical performance in Inside, as the game is not heavily multi-threaded and these CPUs all provide competitive single-thread performance.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with an average score of 37628 (0.1% lower than the RTX 4070's 37648), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 at 37507 (0.4% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile at 38135 (1.3% higher), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 at 37157 (1.3% lower). These graphics cards would produce very similar frame rates in Inside, with the RTX 4080 Mobile being the fastest of the group and the PRO W6400 being the slowest.

Users considering alternatives to this exact CPU-GPU pairing should expect virtually identical performance from these rival components. The delta percentages are all within 1.3% of the measured scores, meaning real-world frame rate differences in Inside would be negligible. The choice between these components would come down to other factors such as platform features, power consumption, and availability rather than gaming performance in this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best settings that maintain at least 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving an average of 96.5 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the playability threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, delivering 157.8 FPS average, which is more than double the 60 FPS requirement. At 1920x1080, Ultra produces 218.7 FPS average, offering maximum visual fidelity with frame rates suitable for high-refresh-rate displays.

For each resolution, the Ultra preset is the most demanding option tested and still exceeds 60 FPS by a significant margin. The data shows no need to compromise on settings at any resolution. Even at 4K, the 96.5 FPS average at Ultra provides a smooth experience, and users prioritizing frame rate over visual quality could opt for High settings at 102.7 FPS or Medium at 164.1 FPS for even higher performance.

The settings hierarchy is consistent across all resolutions: Low provides the highest frame rates, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra being the most demanding. At 1080p, the spread between Low (303.9 FPS) and Ultra (218.7 FPS) is 85.2 FPS, while at 4K, the spread is 110.1 FPS (from 206.6 to 96.5). This indicates that the GPU's workload scaling is more pronounced at higher resolutions, making the choice of settings more impactful at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers the following average frame rates across presets: Low averages 303.9 FPS, Medium averages 280.6 FPS, High averages 226.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 218.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 85.2 FPS, representing a 28.0% reduction in performance when maximizing settings. All presets provide frame rates well above 200 FPS, indicating that at 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-bound or the game engine's frame rate is limited by other factors.

At 2560x1440, the results show: Low averages 269.2 FPS, Medium averages 248.4 FPS, High averages 165.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 157.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 111.4 FPS, a 41.4% reduction. The High to Ultra difference is just 7.6 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns beyond High settings at this resolution. The transition from Medium to High causes a significant 83.0 FPS drop, indicating that High settings introduce substantially more GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are: Low averages 206.6 FPS, Medium averages 164.1 FPS, High averages 102.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 96.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 110.1 FPS, a 53.3% reduction. The step from Medium to High reduces performance by 61.4 FPS, while High to Ultra only reduces by 6.2 FPS. This pattern suggests that High settings offer the best balance between visual quality and performance at 4K, though Ultra remains fully playable.

Across all resolutions, the minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in the data, so only average values are available for analysis. The consistent performance across all tested configurations indicates that the system maintains stable frame rates without significant drops, making it suitable for smooth gameplay in Inside.
