Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a wide range of performance for Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. Benchmark data across three resolutions shows that this pairing is capable of running the game at high frame rates, though the most demanding settings at 4K require a slight compromise. The 5800X3D, with its 96 MB of shared L3 cache, and the Arc B570, with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory, form a balanced platform for this title. The measured frame rates indicate that at 1080p and 1440p, the system can handle the highest preset, while at 4K, Medium settings provide the best balance of visual quality and smoothness.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K with the highest settings?*

A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average frame rate is 52 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data shows that Low and Medium presets are playable at 4K, with Medium achieving an average of 87 FPS.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 2560x1440 resolution?

A: At 1440p, the Ultra preset is fully playable, with an average of 82 FPS. All four presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are listed as playable at this resolution, making Ultra the best visual option that stays above the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the Arc B570's performance compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 20,556. The closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which has a score of 20,534 and a deltaPct of 0.1%, indicating nearly identical performance. The Intel Arc A750 is also close, with a score of 20,582 and a deltaPct of -0.1%.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck for this game at lower resolutions?

A: The data suggests the CPU is not a limiting factor. At 1080p, the average frame rates range from 114 FPS on Ultra to 240 FPS on Low, indicating the system scales well with GPU load. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D's strong multi-threaded performance (14,317 in Cinebench R23 multi-core) supports high frame rates.

Q: What is the performance difference between the 5800X3D and its closest rival?

A: The 5800X3D has an average benchmark score of 27,896. Its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, scores 27,887, a deltaPct of 0%. The Intel Core i9-10900K scores 27,872, also a 0.1% difference, meaning performance is effectively identical among these options.

CPU and GPU Roles

In Inside, the balance between CPU and GPU responsibilities shifts with resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the GPU's load is relatively light, allowing the CPU to push frame rates to very high levels. The data shows an average of 240 FPS on Low, 192 FPS on Medium, 120 FPS on High, and 114 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 47% reduction in frame rate (240 to 114 FPS), which is primarily driven by increased GPU work. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D's single-thread performance (1,452 in Cinebench R23 single-core) is sufficient to feed the Arc B570 at these settings.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more involved. The frame rates drop to 172 FPS on Low, 138 FPS on Medium, 86 FPS on High, and 82 FPS on Ultra. The performance gap between Medium and High (138 to 86 FPS) is more pronounced than between Low and Medium (172 to 138 FPS), indicating that High settings introduce a significant GPU workload. The CPU still plays a supporting role, but the Arc B570's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the primary driver of these numbers.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The average frame rates are 108 FPS on Low, 87 FPS on Medium, 54 FPS on High, and 52 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Medium to High (87 to 54 FPS) represents a 38% reduction, showing that High and Ultra presets at 4K exceed the GPU's comfortable capability. The CPU's role is minimal here, as the frame rates are constrained by the Arc B570's 160-bit memory bus and 380 GB/s bandwidth. The data suggests that for this game, the GPU is the limiting component at 4K, while the CPU provides ample headroom at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3,716 tested hardware combinations in the benchmark database, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2,983rd in Inside. This places it in the lower half of all tested systems, but the ranking does not tell the full story. The rank reflects a broad database of combinations, many of which include higher-end GPUs. For this specific game, the measured frame rates show that the combo is more than adequate for 1080p and 1440p gameplay, and even offers playable options at 4K.

The percentile data for the individual components helps contextualize the rank. The CPU is in the 80th percentile among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms most processors in the database. The GPU is in the 65th percentile among all GPUs. The combination of a high-tier CPU with a mid-tier GPU results in a system that is well-balanced for CPU-light games like Inside, but the overall rank is pulled down by the GPU's relative position. The data indicates that this combo is not a top-tier performer in the database, but it delivers consistent, playable results in this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide useful comparisons for builders seeking similar performance. For the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the closest alternatives are the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (avgScore 27,887, deltaPct 0%), Intel Core i9-10900K (avgScore 27,872, deltaPct 0.1%), AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (avgScore 27,932, deltaPct -0.1%), and Intel Core i5-12600KF (avgScore 27,799, deltaPct 0.3%). These processors deliver benchmark scores within a 0.3% range of the 5800X3D, meaning users would experience virtually identical performance in Inside. The 6800U is a notable alternative as a mobile chip, while the i9-10900K and i5-12600KF are desktop parts with similar multi-threaded capabilities.

For the Intel Arc B570, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (avgScore 20,534, deltaPct 0.1%), Intel Arc A750 (avgScore 20,582, deltaPct -0.1%), NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (avgScore 20,480, deltaPct 0.4%), and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (avgScore 20,662, deltaPct -0.5%). The Arc A750 is the most direct comparison, as it is also an Intel discrete GPU and shows a negligible performance difference. The RTX 3070 Mobile offers a similar performance level, though it is a laptop-oriented part. These alternatives would produce frame rates in Inside that are within a few FPS of the Arc B570, making them viable substitutes.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the recommended setting is Medium, which delivers an average of 87 FPS. The Low preset is also playable at 108 FPS, but Medium offers a significant visual upgrade while maintaining a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. High and Ultra presets are not recommended, as they average 54 and 52 FPS respectively, both below the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 82 FPS. All settings are playable at this resolution, with Low at 172 FPS, Medium at 138 FPS, and High at 86 FPS. Ultra provides the highest visual quality while still delivering a smooth experience, making it the clear recommendation.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is again the best option, averaging 114 FPS. The system has ample headroom, with Low hitting 240 FPS, Medium at 192 FPS, and High at 120 FPS. Ultra is fully playable and offers the most detailed visuals without compromising frame rate.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this system can run Inside effectively across all tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, with Ultra averaging 114 FPS. The system has significant performance headroom, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 2560x1440, all presets also clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 82 FPS. This resolution offers a good balance between visual fidelity and performance.

At 3840x2160, the system is partially playable. Low and Medium presets deliver 108 and 87 FPS respectively, both above the 60 FPS playable threshold. High and Ultra presets fall short, averaging 54 and 52 FPS. For 4K gaming, the recommendation is to use Medium settings, which provides a smooth experience with improved visuals over Low. The overall verdict is that this PC runs Inside well, with the only limitation being the highest presets at 4K resolution.
