Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Benchmark results show this combination is far beyond the demands of the game, providing high frame rates even at 4K Ultra settings. The data indicates a significant performance headroom, making this system an overachiever for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on aggregate benchmark scores, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X performs nearly identically to several other CPUs. The Intel Core i5-12600K matches the Ryzen 7 5700X exactly with a 0% delta, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is a close second with a 0.2% higher average score. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X trails by a negligible 0.2% delta, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is only 0.3% ahead. In practice, users with any of these processors would experience effectively the same CPU-driven performance in Inside.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070’s nearest rivals are professional workstation cards. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 is the closest match with a 0.1% lower average score, followed by the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 which is 0.8% slower. On the other side, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is 1.2% faster, and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile is 2% ahead. While these are not consumer gaming cards, the data shows the RTX 5070’s raw performance level is comparable to these professional offerings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 237 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available and it delivers a frame rate nearly four times the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset remains the best choice, sustaining an average of 167.7 FPS. This represents a substantial drop from the 1080p result but still leaves enormous performance headroom.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset continues to be the most demanding option that clears 60 FPS, with an average of 107.5 FPS. Even at 4K with maximum settings, this system produces a frame rate well above the playable threshold. Lower settings at this resolution yield even higher frame rates, with Low achieving 226.6 FPS and Medium reaching 176.8 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that this game is heavily GPU-bound, though the CPU plays a consistent supporting role. Comparing the scaling between presets at the same resolution shows the impact of graphical load. At 1920x1080, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average frame rate from 310 FPS to 237 FPS, a 23.5% decrease. This indicates that the GPU is handling the increased graphical work without CPU limitation.

At 2560x1440, the same preset transition drops performance from 275.6 FPS to 167.7 FPS, a 39.1% reduction. The larger percentage drop at 1440p suggests the GPU is becoming more stressed as pixel count increases. At 3840x2160, the Low to Ultra transition goes from 226.6 FPS to 107.5 FPS, a 52.6% decrease. This progressive pattern shows the GPU’s workload scaling with resolution.

The CPU’s role becomes more evident when comparing the same preset across resolutions. At Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 237 FPS at 1080p to 167.7 FPS at 1440p, and then to 107.5 FPS at 4K. Since the CPU workload remains constant across resolutions, this steep decline is purely attributable to the GPU’s rendering load. The Ryzen 7 5700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides ample processing power that does not bottleneck the RTX 5070 at any resolution or preset combination tested.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside at maximum settings across all tested resolutions. The verdict data confirms that every resolution—1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160—has all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) listed as playable, meaning each one maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS. The best settings per resolution are Ultra at every level: 237 FPS at 1080p, 167.7 FPS at 1440p, and 107.5 FPS at 4K.

The system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin in all scenarios. Even the lowest performing configuration tested, 4K Ultra at 107.5 FPS, is nearly double the threshold. For a game released in 2016, this modern hardware combination delivers a flawless experience with no need to compromise on visual quality.

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 107.5 |

The data reveals a consistent performance hierarchy. At each resolution, the frame rate decreases as settings increase from Low to Ultra, with the exception of the High and Ultra presets at 1080p which are very close (240.1 vs 237 FPS). Across resolutions, the pattern shows that the 4K Ultra setting is the most demanding combination, yielding 107.5 FPS, while 1080p Low is the least demanding at 310 FPS. The minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded for any configuration, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates.
