The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers overwhelming performance in Inside, a puzzle platformer that clearly favors high refresh rates over raw graphical fidelity. The measured data shows this combination is capable of running the game at maximum settings across all tested resolutions, with substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This analysis breaks down the exact frame rates, optimal settings, and the role each component plays in achieving these results.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this combination are exceptionally strong, with every tested configuration exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold. The data shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets, with the most demanding settings still producing frame rates well above what the game requires.

At 1920x1080, the performance is remarkable. Low settings produce an average of 301 FPS, which drops to 278 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 236 FPS and a maximum of 319 FPS. High settings still deliver 178 FPS on average, while Ultra settings maintain an average of 169 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is substantial — a 132 FPS gap — but even the lowest figure is nearly three times the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain extremely high. Low settings average 255 FPS, while Medium produces 204 FPS with a minimum of 174 FPS and a maximum of 235 FPS. High settings yield 128 FPS, and Ultra settings still average 122 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction, with Ultra dropping from 169 FPS to 122 FPS, a 47 FPS decrease that reflects the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the combination remains comfortably above 60 FPS across all presets. Low settings deliver 161 FPS on average, while Medium produces 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 FPS and a maximum of 148 FPS. High settings average 80 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain 76 FPS. The most demanding configuration — 4K Ultra — still holds an average that is 16 FPS above the playable threshold, with no minimum frame rate data suggesting any concerning dips.

The pattern across all resolutions shows that Inside is not particularly demanding on this hardware. The largest performance drop occurs when moving from Medium to High at 4K, where the average falls from 128 FPS to 80 FPS — a 48 FPS reduction. This suggests that the High preset introduces significantly more graphical effects than Medium, while the jump from High to Ultra is comparatively small at 4K, with only a 4 FPS difference.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. The data shows that this combination can run Inside at Ultra settings — the highest available preset — at every tested resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 169 FPS, leaving enormous headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the recommended configuration for this resolution, as it provides the maximum visual quality without any risk of dropping below playable frame rates.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings produce an average of 122 FPS. This is still more than double the playable threshold, making it the clear choice for this resolution. The frame rate is high enough to support high refresh rate monitors, though users with 144Hz displays will notice the gap between the average and their display's maximum refresh rate.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 76 FPS. This is the only resolution where the frame rate approaches the 60 FPS threshold, but it still clears it by a comfortable margin. The 76 FPS average suggests that 4K Ultra is fully playable, though it does not provide the same level of headroom as lower resolutions.

In all cases, the best settings are Ultra. The data indicates that this game is not particularly demanding on the GPU, as even the highest preset at 4K maintains a playable frame rate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals distinct roles for the CPU and GPU in this game. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high — 301 FPS on Low and 169 FPS on Ultra — which suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to maintain these rates. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, appears to be well-suited for this task, as the frame rates at 1080p are not bottlenecked by the processor.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a moderate performance drop. At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls from 169 FPS to 122 FPS, a 47 FPS reduction. This is expected as the GPU must render more pixels. At Low settings, the drop is from 301 FPS to 255 FPS, a 46 FPS reduction. The consistent drop across presets indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions, but the CPU still has enough headroom to maintain high frame rates.

The move from 1440p to 4K shows a more pronounced GPU dependency. At Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 122 FPS to 76 FPS, a 46 FPS reduction. At Low settings, the drop is from 255 FPS to 161 FPS, a 94 FPS reduction. The larger drop at Low settings suggests that the GPU is significantly more stressed at 4K, even with reduced graphical effects. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, with the GPU taking on a larger share of the rendering workload.

The scaling between presets is also informative. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 132 FPS, while at 4K, the difference is 85 FPS. This indicates that at lower resolutions, the GPU has spare capacity to handle additional graphical effects without a proportional frame rate penalty. At 4K, the GPU is closer to its limits, so the impact of higher presets is more noticeable relative to the baseline.

Overall, the CPU plays a more significant role at lower resolutions, where high frame rates demand strong single-thread performance, while the GPU becomes the primary factor at 4K, where pixel throughput is the main constraint.
