Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. Benchmark data shows this pairing produces frame rates that far exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold across every tested resolution and preset, making it a highly capable system for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces outstanding results across all settings. The Low preset achieves an average of 316.2 FPS, while Medium reaches 263.7 FPS. High settings deliver 168 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a robust 160.8 FPS average. These numbers indicate that even at maximum graphical fidelity, the system has substantial headroom above the 60 FPS target.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptional. The Low preset reaches 237.5 FPS, Medium hits 193.6 FPS, and High maintains 118 FPS. At Ultra settings, the average drops to 116.7 FPS, still nearly double the playability threshold. The scaling between presets shows a consistent pattern, with each step down in quality yielding a significant FPS increase.

At 3840x2160, the system continues to deliver smooth gameplay. Low settings produce 147.4 FPS on average, while Medium achieves exactly 120 FPS. High settings sustain 75.1 FPS, and Ultra maintains 71 FPS. Even at 4K with maximum settings, the frame rate stays comfortably above 60 FPS, demonstrating the hardware's capability to handle this title at any configuration.

The data reveals a clear trend: the Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 4060 combination never dips below 71 FPS in any tested scenario. The minimum observed average is at 4K Ultra, which still provides a 18% cushion above the 60 FPS threshold. The maximum performance occurs at 1080p Low, where the system achieves 316.2 FPS, indicating the game is well-optimized for this hardware.

CPU and GPU Roles

For Inside, the performance scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the workload distributes between the CPU and GPU. The RTX 4060, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, handles the graphical rendering efficiently. The Ryzen 7 5800X, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, provides ample processing power.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, suggesting the GPU has significant headroom. The difference between Low (316.2 FPS) and Ultra (160.8 FPS) at 1080p shows the GPU is the primary constraint as settings increase. The CPU's single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 943, appears more than sufficient for this title's physics and logic.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable performance drop. At Ultra settings, the average falls from 160.8 FPS to 116.7 FPS, a 27% reduction. This scaling indicates the GPU becomes more heavily utilized at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains consistent performance. The Ryzen 7 5800X's 32 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth support smooth data flow even at elevated resolutions.

At 4K, the GPU's role becomes even more dominant. The Ultra preset averages 71 FPS, while Low achieves 147.4 FPS, a 2.1x difference. This substantial gap confirms that resolution scaling primarily taxes the GPU. The RTX 4060's 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs handle the increased pixel workload, while the CPU's 16 threads ensure consistent frame delivery.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the RTX 4060 in the GPU benchmark data include the AMD Radeon HD 7790, which scores 17666 compared to the RTX 4060's 17639 average, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Radeon 780M follows at 17588, just 0.3% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Radeon Pro 460 round out the list with scores of 17551 and 17509, representing 0.5% and 0.7% deltas respectively. These alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, given their benchmark parity.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5800X's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, which scores 29093 compared to the 5800X's 29123 average, a negligible 0.1% difference. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 trails by 0.4% with a score of 29245, while the Intel Core i5-13500HX is 0.5% behind at 29270. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT sits 0.6% ahead at 28940. Any of these processors paired with the RTX 4060 would yield comparable results in this game.

For users considering alternative configurations, the data suggests that swapping either component for its nearest benchmark rival would produce virtually identical performance. The tight clustering of scores, all within 0.7% of each other, indicates that the system's overall capability would remain unchanged for Inside.

The Verdict

The benchmark results clearly indicate that this PC can run Inside exceptionally well at all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold, with the lowest average being 160.8 FPS at Ultra settings. This represents 2.7x the minimum playable frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the system maintains playability across all presets. The Ultra setting averages 116.7 FPS, while High reaches 118 FPS. Medium and Low deliver 193.6 FPS and 237.5 FPS respectively. Every configuration provides a substantial margin above the 60 FPS target.

Even at 3840x2160, the most demanding resolution tested, all settings remain playable. Ultra averages 71 FPS, which is 18% above the threshold. High achieves 75.1 FPS, Medium reaches 120 FPS, and Low hits 147.4 FPS. The verdict by resolution confirms that all three resolutions support every preset without dropping below playable frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combinations in the database, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1927 out of 3716 total combos. This places it in the 52nd percentile of all systems tested for Inside. While not at the very top of the rankings, the system's performance is more than sufficient for this title, as evidenced by the consistent 60+ FPS results across all scenarios.

The ranking reflects the hardware's overall standing relative to other configurations. The RTX 4060 sits at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 5800X ranks at the 81st percentile among all CPUs. The combination of these components places the system in the middle of the pack for this specific game, though the actual gameplay experience remains excellent due to the game's modest requirements.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 160.8 FPS. This configuration provides the maximum visual quality while still offering 2.7x the playability threshold. Players seeking higher frame rates can select Medium for 263.7 FPS or Low for 316.2 FPS, though these offer diminishing returns given the already exceptional Ultra performance.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings remain the optimal choice, achieving 116.7 FPS on average. This is nearly double the 60 FPS target, ensuring smooth gameplay with full graphical fidelity. The High preset delivers 118 FPS, while Medium reaches 193.6 FPS and Low hits 237.5 FPS. All options exceed the threshold, but Ultra provides the best balance of visual quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset maintains 71 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS requirement with an 18% margin. This makes 4K Ultra the recommended configuration for maximum visual quality. High settings achieve 75.1 FPS, offering a slight performance boost, while Medium and Low provide 120 FPS and 147.4 FPS respectively for those prioritizing frame rate over fidelity.

The data demonstrates that this system can run Inside at maximum settings across all tested resolutions, with even the most demanding configuration providing comfortable margins above the playability threshold.
