Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Measured data shows this pairing is far beyond the demands of the game at all tested resolutions and presets, with the lowest average result still clearing the 60 FPS threshold by a significant margin.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces triple-digit average frame rates across every preset. The Low preset yields an average of 314.2 FPS, while Medium follows closely at 280.3 FPS. High settings drop performance modestly to an average of 176.2 FPS, and Ultra maintains a strong 166.9 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, with Ultra representing a 46.9% reduction in average frame rate compared to Low, yet still remaining far above any competitive display's refresh rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the scaling is consistent. Low settings produce an average of 253.4 FPS, and Medium delivers 200.6 FPS. High settings average 126.5 FPS, while Ultra settles at 119.7 FPS. The resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 19% of the frame rate at Low, 28% at Medium, 28% at High, and 28% at Ultra. This indicates a slightly higher load on the GPU as pixel count increases, but the absolute performance remains extraordinarily high.

At 3840x2160, the system still never breaks a sweat. Low settings average 161.5 FPS, Medium drops to 128.3 FPS, and High averages 80.2 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, produces an average of 75.1 FPS. The delta between 1440p and 4K is larger: Low falls by 36%, Medium by 36%, High by 37%, and Ultra by 37%. This is consistent with a game that becomes more GPU-bound at higher resolutions, though the RTX 5060 handles the load with ease.

No minimum or maximum frame rate data is available in the measured set, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates. The absence of min/max data means stutter and frame-time variance cannot be quantified, but the high averages suggest ample headroom for consistent delivery.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 166.9 FPS. This is the highest fidelity option available and clears the playability threshold by 106.9 FPS, leaving enormous headroom.

At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains the best choice, averaging 119.7 FPS. This is 59.7 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, confirming that even the heaviest settings at this resolution are not a challenge.

For 3840x2160, Ultra is again the recommended preset, with an average of 75.1 FPS. While this is the lowest average across all tested configurations, it still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by 15.1 FPS. The data indicates that the combination can run Inside at maximum settings in 4K without dipping below playable frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, offer a reference for how other processors would behave. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has an average score of 29123, which is 0.1% higher than the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H at 29093. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 scores 29245, a 0.4% advantage over the 5800X. The Intel Core i5-13500HX is 0.5% faster at 29270, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT sits 0.6% behind at 28940. These differences are minor, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Inside, given the game's low CPU demands.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 has an average benchmark score of 26331. The AMD Radeon 860M scores 26401, a 0.3% advantage, while the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 scores 26421, also 0.3% ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary scores 26553, a 0.8% lead, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT scores 26011, a 1.2% deficit. These delta values are trivial for a game like Inside, where all these GPUs would produce frame rates far above 60 FPS at any resolution. The practical outcome is that swapping to any of these rivals would yield imperceptible differences in gameplay.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Inside flawlessly at every tested resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra averaging 166.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same is true, with Ultra at 119.7 FPS. At 3840x2160, all presets also clear 60 FPS, and Ultra averages 75.1 FPS. The verdict by resolution lists Ultra as the best setting at every resolution, with average frame rates of 166.9 FPS, 119.7 FPS, and 75.1 FPS for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, respectively.

This is a definitive pass. The combination is not merely playable; it is overkill for Inside. Even the most punishing configuration — 4K Ultra — keeps the average frame rate 25% above the playable threshold. There is no scenario in the measured data where the system approaches the 60 FPS limit.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the frame rate drops by 19% at Low, 28% at Medium, 28% at High, and 28% at Ultra. From 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the drops are 36% at Low, 36% at Medium, 37% at High, and 37% at Ultra. The consistent percentage drops across Medium, High, and Ultra suggest that the GPU is the primary limiter at higher settings, as pixel count increases. The smaller drop at 1080p to 1440p with Low settings indicates that the CPU can still feed the GPU adequately at lower loads.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's role is more prominent relative to the GPU. The Ryzen 7 5800X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, ensures that the GPU is never starved, even at Low settings where frame rates exceed 300 FPS. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7586 and the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15476 demonstrate ample processing headroom for a game that is not heavily threaded.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The RTX 5060's bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and FP32 throughput of 19.18 TFLOPS are the key metrics driving the 75.1 FPS average at Ultra. The CPU's influence diminishes as resolution rises, because the frame rate is increasingly bound by pixel shading and rasterization. The data shows a clear trend: the GPU matters more at 4K, while the CPU matters more at 1080p, but neither component ever becomes a bottleneck that threatens playability.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Inside, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ranks 1697 out of 3716 combinations. This places it in the 54th percentile of all tested combos, meaning just under half of the tested systems perform better in this specific game. Given that the game is an older title with low system requirements, the rank reflects that many modern high-end configurations will naturally outpace it. However, the measured data shows that this rank does not translate into any gameplay limitation. The system sits comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold at the most demanding settings in 4K, and the rank is a relative measure against a broad field of hardware, not an indication of inadequacy. The CPU's percentile vs all CPUs is 81, and the GPU's percentile vs all GPUs is 72, both indicating strong standalone performance, but the combination rank in Inside is tempered by the game's modest demands and the presence of even faster configurations.
