Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers overwhelming performance in Inside, a 2016 puzzle-platformer that is far from demanding by modern standards. Measured frame-rate data across three resolutions and four quality presets shows the combo never drops below 131 FPS on average, even at 4K Ultra. The benchmark database ranks this pairing 1002nd out of 3716 tested combinations for this title, placing it in the upper third of all systems. The data confirms that this hardware is dramatically overqualified for the game, with every tested configuration exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin. Below is the detailed breakdown of how this system behaves in Inside, followed by analysis of its ranking, component roles, and optimal settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 272 FPS, while Medium delivers 251 FPS with a minimum of 213 and a maximum of 289. High settings reach 209 FPS average, and Ultra comes in at 206 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 66 FPS, a 24% reduction in average frame rate when maxing out all quality options. Even at its lowest point (213 FPS minimum on Medium), the system stays far above any refresh-rate concern for standard monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high but show the expected scaling penalty. Low averages 244 FPS, Medium 225 FPS with a 191-258 range, High 187 FPS, and Ultra 184 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 60 FPS (25% reduction), nearly identical in percentage terms to the 1080p result. The minimum frame rate on Medium (191 FPS) still exceeds the maximum refresh rate of most high-end gaming displays, indicating no practical bottleneck at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to show more meaningful scaling, though still without any playability concerns. Low averages 209 FPS, Medium 193 FPS with a 164-221 range, High 138 FPS, and Ultra 131 FPS. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 78 FPS, or 37% — a larger percentage drop than at lower resolutions, reflecting the increased pixel-pushing workload on the GPU. The 4K Ultra average of 131 FPS remains more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the lowest recorded minimum (164 FPS on Medium) is comfortably above 60.

Notably, the data shows no min/max values for Low, High, or Ultra presets at any resolution, with only the Medium preset capturing frame-time extremes. This suggests the benchmark methodology recorded variance only for the middle quality tier, or that the other presets produced frame pacing too consistent to register meaningful outliers. Regardless, the available numbers paint a picture of overwhelming headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination achieves a rank of 1002 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places the system in the top 27% of all configurations in the database, which is notable given that the game is a lightweight 2D side-scrolling puzzle platformer with modest hardware demands. The rank reflects the sheer performance headroom of the RTX 5080, as the GPU alone sits in the 87th percentile among all tested graphics cards.

The CPU contributes to this ranking through its strong multi-threaded performance; the Ryzen 7 5700X3D scores 22,366 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 26,318 in Passmark multithread, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. However, for a title like Inside, which is not computationally intensive, the ranking is likely driven more by the GPU's ability to render at high resolutions with minimal frame pacing issues. The 1002nd position out of 3716 means that roughly 2,700 other combos tested slower, but also that about 1,000 combos delivered even higher frame rates — likely systems with newer or more specialized hardware.

The measured FPS data supports this ranking: at 4K Ultra, the combo produces 131 FPS average, which is more than double the 60 FPS threshold but not exceptional compared to what top-tier 2025 hardware can achieve. The ranking suggests that this system is a high performer but not at the absolute peak of the database, which is consistent with the RTX 5080 being a strong but not flagship GPU (its closest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which scores 2.2% higher on average).

The Verdict

The data unequivocally shows that this PC can run Inside at maximum quality across all tested resolutions. The verdict by resolution lists all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — as playable at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average frame rates of 206 FPS (1080p), 184 FPS (1440p), and 131 FPS (4K). Every configuration clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by at least 71 FPS, with the smallest margin occurring at 4K Ultra.

For users with a 60 Hz display, this system provides over 100 FPS of headroom at every resolution and preset. For those with high refresh-rate monitors (144 Hz or 240 Hz), the combo can fully utilize the display at 1080p and 1440p, though 4K Ultra at 131 FPS would not saturate a 144 Hz panel. The system is effectively overkill for Inside, meaning users can enable every quality setting without worrying about performance degradation. The only scenario where this hardware would struggle is if the game were ported to a significantly more demanding engine, which is not the case for this 2016 release.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have identified nearest rivals based on average benchmark scores, indicating which alternative hardware would produce similar overall performance in this system.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D, the closest match is the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D, which scores 24,728 average — a 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX is 0.5% slower (24,822), while the Intel Core i5-12450HX is 0.5% faster (24,576) and the Intel Core i5-11600 is 0.6% faster (24,563). In practice, swapping the 5700X3D for any of these would result in nearly identical performance in Inside, as the game is not CPU-bound at the tested resolutions.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, the nearest rival is the AMD Radeon 8060S, which scores 55,757 — a 0.6% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is 0.7% slower (55,698), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 2.3% slower (54,828), and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is 2.2% faster (57,367). These small deltas mean that any of these GPUs paired with the 5700X3D would produce frame rates within a few FPS of the measured results in Inside, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU becomes more relevant.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 206 FPS. This is the maximum quality setting available, so there is no trade-off between fidelity and performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, averaging 184 FPS. The minimum recorded frame rate at this preset is not listed, but the Medium preset shows a minimum of 191 FPS, indicating that even the most demanding settings stay well above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 131 FPS, which remains 71 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset at this resolution shows a minimum of 164 FPS and a maximum of 221 FPS, suggesting that Ultra likely maintains a minimum above 100 FPS based on the scaling pattern. Users can confidently select Ultra at 4K without needing to compromise on any quality setting.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the GPU plays a dominant role in determining frame rates as resolution increases, while the CPU's influence is minimal for this title. The scaling between 1080p and 4K at the same preset shows significant drops: Ultra falls from 206 FPS at 1080p to 131 FPS at 4K (36% reduction), and High falls from 209 FPS to 138 FPS (34% reduction). These reductions are directly attributable to the GPU's rendering workload growing with pixel count.

Conversely, the CPU's contribution is consistent across resolutions. At 1080p, where GPU load is lowest, the combo still achieves 206 FPS at Ultra — a figure that is likely limited by the CPU's single-thread performance. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D scores 3,157 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 2,970 in Passmark single-thread, which are solid but not exceptional figures. However, at 1440p and 4K, the frame rates scale proportionally to the GPU's capabilities, indicating the CPU is not a bottleneck in those scenarios.

The gap between Low and Ultra presets grows with resolution: 66 FPS at 1080p, 60 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 4K. This suggests that the GPU's performance headroom is more constrained at higher resolutions, making quality settings more impactful. For users with a 144 Hz monitor, the CPU may become the limiting factor at 1080p Low (272 FPS), but at 4K Ultra (131 FPS), the GPU is clearly the primary determinant. Overall, the RTX 5080 is the star of this pairing for Inside, with the 5700X3D providing ample support without ever becoming a liability.
