Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the Intel Arc B570 ranks at position 2983 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside, placing it in the lower portion of the database's performance distribution. This rank reflects a combination that is far from the top of the field, but the raw benchmark scores of the individual components tell a more nuanced story. The CPU sits at the 81st percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU is at the 65th percentile among all tested graphics cards. The combo's low overall rank is likely influenced by the sheer number of other hardware pairings in the database, many of which use more powerful GPUs. For a game as lightweight as Inside, however, the measured frame rates suggest that this mid-pack ranking does not translate into a poor experience at most settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination's position at 2983 of 3716 tested combos means that roughly 80% of the hardware pairings in the database achieve higher overall performance scores. This is a direct consequence of the GPU's mid-tier standing; the Intel Arc B570's average benchmark score of 20556 places it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, which is respectable but not exceptional. The CPU, in contrast, is a strong performer, with an average benchmark score of 29123 placing it in the 81st percentile. The delta between these two components is significant: the CPU is clearly the stronger half of this pairing in synthetic tests.

When examining the nearest rivals for the GPU, the Intel Arc B570 sits within a narrow band of performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile has an average score of 20534, a delta of 0.1% from the Arc B570, meaning they are effectively tied. The Intel Arc A750 is also nearly identical, with a score of 20582 and a delta of -0.1%. This clustering indicates that the Arc B570's GPU performance is well-understood and that users should expect frame rates nearly identical to those of the RTX 3070 Mobile or the Arc A750 in Inside. The CPU's rivals tell a similar story: the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, Intel Xeon Phi 7210, Intel Core i5-13500HX, and AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT all have average scores within 0.6% of the Ryzen 7 5800X, confirming that the processor's compute capability is broadly comparable to a small family of other chips.

CPU and GPU Roles

For Inside, the data shows a clear pattern where the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU's influence becomes more apparent at lower resolutions with high frame rates. At 3840x2160, the average frame rate drops from 108 FPS at Low settings to 52 FPS at Ultra settings, a reduction of 56 FPS. This steep decline as settings increase is a hallmark of GPU-bound performance, as the graphics card struggles to maintain throughput when pixel count and visual effects scale up. The CPU's role at 4K is minimal; even at Low settings, the 108 FPS average is likely constrained by the GPU's rendering capacity rather than the processor's ability to feed it.

At 1920x1080, the situation reverses somewhat. The average frame rate at Low settings reaches 240 FPS, which is a very high number that likely approaches the limits of what the game engine can produce. At this resolution, the CPU's strength becomes evident, as the Ryzen 7 5800X's 16 threads and high single-thread score of 943 in 3dmark ensure that it can keep up with the GPU's output at lower settings. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop from 240 FPS to 114 FPS, a 126 FPS difference, which is a larger absolute gap than at 4K but a smaller proportional one. This suggests that at 1080p, the GPU still matters, but the CPU's headroom allows the system to reach very high frame rates that would be impossible with a weaker processor.

The 2560x1440 results fall between these extremes. The average frame rate at Low settings is 172 FPS, dropping to 82 FPS at Ultra. This resolution is a balanced scenario where both components contribute, but the GPU remains the limiting factor at higher presets. The data indicates that for Inside, the CPU is never the primary constraint at any resolution when settings are at Medium or above, as the GPU's workload scales more aggressively with visual quality. Only at 1080p Low does the CPU's performance ceiling potentially come into play, and even then, the 240 FPS average is far above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide a clear picture of what other hardware would deliver nearly identical results in Inside. On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X's average benchmark score of 29123 is matched by the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H at 29093, a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 and Intel Core i5-13500HX are also close, with scores of 29245 and 29270, respectively, both within 0.5% of the Ryzen chip. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, with a score of 28940, completes the group. Any of these processors would produce frame rates in Inside that are indistinguishable from the Ryzen 7 5800X, assuming the same GPU is used.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570's score of 20556 is bracketed by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 and the Intel Arc A750 at 20582, with deltas of 0.1% and -0.1%, respectively. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X are slightly further afield but still within 0.5%. This means that swapping the Arc B570 for a RTX 3070 Mobile or an Arc A750 would yield nearly identical performance in Inside, with average frame rates differing by only a frame or two at most. The practical implication is that users who own any of these GPUs can expect the same playability results as the Arc B570, provided their CPU is comparable to the Ryzen 7 5800X.

The Verdict

The verdict for this system is clear: it can run Inside at 60 FPS or higher at all tested resolutions, but the preset quality varies. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium achieving an average of 87 FPS. Ultra and High at this resolution fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 52 and 54 FPS, respectively. At 2560x1440, all four tested presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable, with Ultra averaging 82 FPS. At 1920x1080, the same is true: every preset clears 60 FPS, and Ultra reaches an average of 114 FPS. The best settings per resolution, defined as the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, are Medium at 4K, Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for this combination provide a detailed view of its performance across resolutions and settings. At 3840x2160, the average frame rate at Low settings is 108 FPS, which drops to 87 FPS at Medium, 54 FPS at High, and 52 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset also has reported minimum and maximum values of 74 and 100 FPS, respectively, indicating some variance but still comfortably above the playable threshold. The Low and High presets lack min/max data, but the averages suggest a smooth experience at Low and a borderline one at High.

At 2560x1440, the averages are higher across the board. Low settings produce 172 FPS, Medium yields 138 FPS with a minimum of 117 and a maximum of 159, High reaches 86 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is substantial at 52 FPS, which points to a significant jump in GPU workload when moving from Medium to High settings. The Ultra preset at 1440p still maintains an average above 60 FPS, making it a viable choice for users with high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are the highest of any resolution. Low settings hit an average of 240 FPS, Medium averages 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 and a maximum of 221, High averages 120 FPS, and Ultra averages 114 FPS. The differences between presets are large, but even the most demanding setting at this resolution delivers nearly double the playable threshold. The data shows that this combination is overkill for 1080p gaming in Inside, as even Ultra settings provide a massive cushion above 60 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average frame rate of 87 FPS. This is the optimal choice for 4K play, as it provides a solid margin above the 60 FPS threshold while offering better visual quality than Low. High and Ultra at this resolution average 54 and 52 FPS, respectively, which are below the playable threshold and should be avoided. At 2560x1440, the best preset is Ultra, which averages 82 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it still clears 60 FPS by a comfortable margin. At 1920x1080, Ultra is also the best preset, with an average of 114 FPS. This means users can play at maximum settings at both 1440p and 1080p without sacrificing smoothness.
