Q: Which resolution shows the largest scaling benefit from lower settings?

A: At 1080p, dropping from Ultra (219 FPS) to Low (310 FPS) yields a 91 FPS gain. At 4K, the same settings change produces a 109 FPS gain (from 99 to 208 FPS), indicating that lower resolutions benefit less from preset reductions due to the CPU becoming a more significant factor.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Inside reveals a workload that scales heavily with resolution, indicating the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 91 FPS (310 vs 219), while at 3840x2160, that same preset swing produces a 109 FPS difference (208 vs 99). This widening gap at 4K demonstrates that the GPU's rendering load increases disproportionately with resolution.

At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more pronounced. The Ryzen 7 5700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, delivers 310 FPS at Low settings, suggesting that the processor is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates. However, even at this resolution, the GPU still matters: dropping to Ultra settings reduces performance to 219 FPS, a 29% decrease. This indicates that while the CPU supports high frame rates, the RTX 4070's rendering capabilities still dictate the final output.

The 1440p results show a balanced workload. The Medium preset averages 257 FPS with a minimum of 218 FPS, while High drops to 165 FPS. The scaling from Medium to Ultra at 1440p (257 to 157 FPS) represents a 39% reduction, which is less severe than the 4K Ultra drop but more pronounced than at 1080p. This pattern confirms that 1440p sits between the CPU-bound 1080p and GPU-bound 4K scenarios.

At 4K, the GPU's dominance is clear. The RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become critical, as the Ultra preset averages 99 FPS while Medium reaches 166 FPS. The 67 FPS gap between Medium and Ultra at 4K versus the 29 FPS gap at 1080p illustrates that higher resolutions amplify the GPU's influence. The CPU's contribution at 4K is minimal, as even the lowest preset (208 FPS) is far beyond what the GPU can sustain at high quality settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, the nearest rivals deliver nearly identical average benchmark scores. The Intel Core i5-12600K matches the 5700X exactly with a score of 27578 and a deltaPct of 0. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X edges ahead by 0.2% (score 27636), while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 trails by 0.2% (score 27535). The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H rounds out the group with a 0.3% lower score of 27507. Any of these processors would produce effectively indistinguishable results in Inside, given the game's modest CPU demands.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070's nearest rivals show similarly tight clustering. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, just 0.1% below the RTX 4070's 37648. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507 (0.4% lower), while the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 trails by 1.3% with a score of 37157. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile leads the group with a score of 38135, but only by 1.3%. For Inside specifically, all of these GPUs would comfortably exceed the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset, though the RTX 4070's 12 GB memory capacity provides more headroom for future titles.

The practical implication is that users with any of these CPU or GPU alternatives would see nearly identical performance in Inside. The 0.2-1.3% score differences translate to negligible frame rate variations, well within measurement noise. This makes the choice between these components irrelevant for this specific game, as all combinations would deliver the same playable experience.

The Verdict

This PC configuration runs Inside with overwhelming success. The measured data shows that the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested resolution and preset.

The 2560x1440 results are equally impressive, with Ultra averaging 157 FPS and Medium hitting 257 FPS with a minimum of 218 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the system maintains playability across all settings. The Ultra preset averages 99 FPS, High averages 104 FPS, Medium averages 166 FPS, and Low reaches 208 FPS. Even the most demanding scenario — 4K Ultra — provides a 65% margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The data indicates no scenario where this hardware fails to deliver a smooth experience, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p and 1440p, as well as standard 60 Hz 4K displays.

The verdict by resolution confirms that all three resolutions support every preset at playable frame rates. For users prioritizing visual quality, Ultra settings are achievable at all resolutions, with the 4K Ultra result of 99 FPS being the only instance below 100 FPS. This combination is not just capable of running Inside — it exceeds requirements so substantially that users could enable the highest settings without concern.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 219 FPS on average, making it the recommended choice for maximum visual fidelity. This frame rate is 159 FPS above the playable threshold, providing ample headroom for demanding scenes. The Medium preset offers 286 FPS for users with 240 Hz displays, but Ultra's combination of quality and speed makes it the optimal default.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 157 FPS, which remains comfortably above 60 FPS. This makes Ultra the best setting for 1440p gaming, as it provides the highest quality without sacrificing smoothness. The Medium preset's 257 FPS average (with a minimum of 218 FPS) is available for competitive play, but the visual upgrade from Ultra is minimal given the game's art style.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset maintains a 99 FPS average, which is 39 FPS above the playable threshold. This is the most demanding configuration tested, yet it still delivers a fluid experience on 4K displays. For users who prefer higher frame rates at 4K, the High preset offers 104 FPS, but the difference is negligible. The data supports Ultra as the best setting at every resolution, with 1080p providing the largest performance cushion (219 FPS) and 4K the smallest (99 FPS).

How This Combo Ranks
