Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside at every tested resolution and settings combination, with all twelve measured configurations exceeding 96 FPS average. The data indicates a system with substantial headroom for this puzzle platformer, making it a strong match for high-refresh-rate displays across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the aggregate benchmark data, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D performs nearly identically to several other processors. Its average benchmark score of 24,709 places it within 0.6% of all four nearest rivals. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D is the closest competitor, with an average score of 24,728, a mere 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX scores 24,822, which is 0.5% higher, while the Intel Core i5-12450HX (24,576) and Intel Core i5-11600 (24,563) trail by 0.5% and 0.6%, respectively. In practical terms, users would not perceive meaningful performance differences among these five CPUs in Inside, as the game's frame rates are far more dependent on the GPU.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, its average benchmark score of 23,172 makes it a close match for several other GPUs. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23,249, representing a 0.3% higher result, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 (23,250) and AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23,273) also sit approximately 0.3-0.4% above. The AMD Radeon R9 M290X scores 23,276, which is 0.4% higher than the RTX 3080. Given these negligible deltas, any of these graphics cards would produce statistically similar frame rates in Inside, though the RTX 3080's architectural features and driver support may differ in ways not captured by these aggregate scores.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which runs at an average of 207.5 FPS. This leaves enormous headroom, as even this highest quality setting delivers more than triple the playable threshold. The other settings all exceed 210 FPS: High averages 210.6, Medium 249, and Low 269.3.

For 2560x1440, Ultra again is the best choice, averaging 152.5 FPS. High runs at 156.7, Medium at 224.9, and Low at 244, all comfortably above 60 FPS. The performance drop from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra is notable—from 207.5 to 152.5 FPS, a reduction of 55 FPS—but the system remains far from any playability concern.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains playable with an average of 96.7 FPS. High averages 100 FPS, Medium 161.4, and Low 196.4. This resolution presents the largest performance cost, with Ultra at 4K being less than half the frame rate of Ultra at 1080p. However, all four settings at 4K exceed 60 FPS, so users can select Ultra without sacrificing playability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals that the GPU dominates performance in Inside for this combination. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Ultra settings reduces average FPS from 207.5 to 152.5, a 26.5% decrease. Further scaling to 3840x2160 at Ultra brings the average down to 96.7, another 36.6% reduction from 1440p. This steep decline with increasing pixel count is characteristic of GPU-bound workloads.

At lower settings, the GPU's influence becomes even more apparent. Low settings at 1080p yield 269.3 FPS, while at 4K Low produces 196.4 FPS—still a significant drop but proportionally smaller than at Ultra. The CPU's role is comparatively modest across all resolutions, as the Ryzen 7 5700X3D's eight cores and 16 threads provide ample processing power for this puzzle platformer.

Preset scaling within a single resolution further illustrates the GPU's dominance. At 4K, moving from Low (196.4 FPS) to Medium (161.4) to High (100) to Ultra (96.7) shows diminishing returns as the GPU approaches its limits. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 3.3 FPS, while the gap between Low and High is 96.4 FPS. This pattern repeats at 1440p and 1080p, confirming that the RTX 3080's raw rasterization throughput is the primary determinant of frame rates in Inside.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Inside exceptionally well at all tested configurations. The verdict by resolution states that every setting—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—is playable at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, with the playable threshold set at 60 FPS. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average frame rates of 207.5 at 1080p, 152.5 at 1440p, and 96.7 at 4K.

At 4K Ultra, the system maintains 96.7 FPS average, which is 61% above the playable threshold. This means users can max out the game's visual quality at the highest resolution without any performance compromises. For those with high-refresh-rate monitors, even 4K Ultra exceeds 90 FPS, while 1440p and 1080p users can enjoy frame rates well above 150 FPS. The minimum frame rates are not reported in the data, but the high averages across all settings suggest consistent performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination ranks 1345 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the 64th percentile of all systems tested. This ranking reflects the GPU's high performance relative to the full field, though the position is influenced by the fact that Inside is not a demanding title and many lower-tier GPUs can also achieve playable frame rates.

Given that the combo achieves 96.7 FPS at 4K Ultra—the most demanding tested configuration—the ranking might seem modest, but it is important to consider that thousands of other combinations likely include CPUs and GPUs with similar or higher aggregate benchmark scores. The RTX 3080's 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU's 77th percentile among all CPUs position this system as a solid mid-to-high performer, with the combination ranking reflecting the overall hardware landscape rather than any deficiency in Inside specifically.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 269.3 FPS, which is the maximum across all resolutions and settings. Medium settings average 249 FPS, High settings 210.6 FPS, and Ultra settings 207.5 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal at just 3.1 FPS, suggesting that Ultra is the logical choice at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 244 FPS, Medium 224.9 FPS, High 156.7 FPS, and Ultra 152.5 FPS. The gap between Medium and High widens to 68.2 FPS, indicating that High and Ultra presets impose a significantly higher rendering load than Medium.

At 3840x2160, Low settings average 196.4 FPS, Medium 161.4 FPS, High 100 FPS, and Ultra 96.7 FPS. This resolution shows the largest relative performance cost for High and Ultra, with both falling below the 100 FPS mark. However, all four configurations remain comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Across all resolutions, the data shows a consistent pattern: Low and Medium settings cluster together at high frame rates, while High and Ultra presets impose a steeper performance penalty. The RTX 3080's 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth prove sufficient for this game's requirements at every tested configuration, and the Ryzen 7 5700X3D's 96 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain consistent frame delivery in this puzzle platformer.
