Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer that is far from demanding by modern standards. The measured data shows this pairing is capable of running the game at maximum settings across all tested resolutions, with average frame rates that far exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is the most demanding configuration tested, yet the combo still produces an average of 126 FPS. This makes Ultra the best settings choice for 4K gaming, as the frame rate remains well above the 60 FPS threshold even at the highest visual quality. The High preset at this resolution yields 133 FPS, while Medium averages 212 FPS and Low reaches 231 FPS, but none of these lower presets are necessary to maintain smooth gameplay when Ultra already clears the bar by a wide margin.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 201 FPS, which is again the recommended configuration. The gap between presets is smaller at this resolution: High produces 207 FPS, Medium 249 FPS, and Low 269 FPS. Since even the most demanding preset delivers triple-digit frame rates, the choice is straightforward — players can enable Ultra without any concern for performance dips.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 228 FPS on average, making it the best settings option for 1080p gaming. The High preset runs at 231 FPS, Medium at 278 FPS, and Low at 301 FPS, but the difference between these settings is largely academic when every option exceeds 200 FPS. The data indicates that this combination is so powerful for Inside that the resolution and preset selection have minimal practical impact on playability, though Ultra at 1080p remains the optimal choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 673 out of 3,716 tested combos for this game, placing it in the top 18% of all configurations in the database. This ranking reflects the substantial headroom this pairing offers for Inside's modest graphical demands. The RTX 4080 sits in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 5700G holds the 79th percentile among all CPUs, indicating that both components are firmly above-average performers in their respective categories.

The combo's rank of 673 is notable because Inside is a lightweight title that does not heavily stress either component. Higher-ranked combos likely include more recent flagship CPUs paired with top-tier GPUs, but the practical difference in this game is minimal given that this configuration already achieves over 200 FPS at every resolution tested. The ranking demonstrates that while this pairing is not at the absolute top of the database, its real-world performance in Inside is effectively indistinguishable from much more expensive configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured frame rates show a clear progression across settings. The Low preset averages 231 FPS, Medium averages 212 FPS with a minimum of 181 FPS and maximum of 244 FPS, High averages 133 FPS, and Ultra averages 126 FPS. The Medium preset's documented frame range provides the only min/max data at this resolution, showing a 63 FPS spread between the lowest and highest observed frames. The drop from Medium to High is substantial at 79 FPS, while the difference between High and Ultra is a relatively modest 7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 269 FPS, Medium averages 249 FPS with a minimum of 211 FPS and maximum of 286 FPS, High averages 207 FPS, and Ultra averages 201 FPS. The Medium preset's frame range spans 75 FPS at this resolution. The scaling from 4K to 1440p improves frame rates by roughly 16-20% across all presets, with the Low preset seeing the smallest absolute gain of 38 FPS and High seeing the largest percentage improvement.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 301 FPS, Medium averages 278 FPS with a minimum of 236 FPS and maximum of 319 FPS, High averages 231 FPS, and Ultra averages 228 FPS. The Medium preset's frame range at 1080p is 83 FPS, the widest documented spread in the dataset. The transition from 1440p to 1080p yields further gains, with Low increasing by 32 FPS, Medium by 29 FPS, High by 24 FPS, and Ultra by 27 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core i9-9900K posts an average benchmark score of 27,097, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 7 5700G's 27,051 average. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26,936, sitting 0.4% below the 5700G, while the Intel Core i5-14400T reaches 27,166, a 0.4% advantage. The Intel Core i7-1370P rounds out the group with 26,900, trailing by 0.6%. These four processors are effectively performance peers, meaning any of them paired with the RTX 4080 would deliver statistically identical frame rates in Inside.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 on average, a mere 0.1% above the standard RTX 4080's 54,247. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X posts 54,828, which is 1.1% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB reaches 55,698, a 2.6% advantage. The AMD Radeon 8060S leads this group with 55,757, sitting 2.7% above the RTX 4080. Despite these benchmark differences, all of these GPUs would produce effectively identical results in Inside given the game's low graphical requirements and the already excessive frame rates this combo achieves.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU is the primary performance driver in Inside, but only at higher resolutions and settings. The scaling from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 shows frame rates dropping by roughly 45-55% across all presets, with the Ultra preset falling from 228 FPS at 1080p to 126 FPS at 4K. This resolution sensitivity is characteristic of GPU-bound workloads, where the rendering load increases substantially with pixel count.

However, the CPU still plays a measurable role, particularly at lower resolutions where frame rates reach extremely high levels. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 301 FPS, a figure that approaches the limits of what even a strong processor can feed to the GPU in frame-limited scenarios. The Ryzen 7 5700G's 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.60 GHz boost clock provides ample single-thread performance for Inside's gameplay logic, as evidenced by its 1,494 Cinebench R23 single-core score and 899 3DMark single-thread score.

The preset scaling further illustrates the CPU-GPU balance. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 105 FPS, while at 1440p it is 68 FPS, and at 1080p it is 73 FPS. The larger spread at 4K suggests the GPU is doing more work relative to the CPU at higher resolutions, while the relatively consistent spread at 1440p and 1080p indicates a more balanced workload distribution. The Medium preset's documented min/max ranges — 181-244 FPS at 4K, 211-286 FPS at 1440p, and 236-319 FPS at 1080p — show that frame time consistency remains strong across all resolutions, with no evidence of CPU bottlenecking even at the highest frame rates.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside with exceptional ease at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdict data confirms that all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080, with the best settings at each resolution being Ultra. At 4K, the Ultra preset averages 126 FPS, more than double the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 1440p, Ultra reaches 201 FPS, and at 1080p, Ultra achieves 228 FPS.

The minimum documented frame rate across the entire dataset is 181 FPS at 4K Medium settings, which still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a factor of three. This means even the most demanding configuration — Ultra at 4K — maintains a 126 FPS average with no documented dips below playable levels. The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700G's strong multi-threaded performance (12,830.5 in Cinebench R23 multi-core) and the RTX 4080's massive graphics throughput (48.74 TFLOPS FP32) creates a system that is massively overqualified for Inside, delivering a flawless experience regardless of how the user configures the graphical options.
