Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 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, with average frame rates never dipping below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The benchmark results indicate a system that provides a completely smooth experience, even at maximum settings and 4K resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the system achieves its highest playable fidelity with Ultra settings, producing an average of 179.6 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays well above the 60 FPS threshold. Even at these settings, the frame rate is nearly three times the playable mark.

Moving to 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is again Ultra, with an average of 129.8 FPS. This is a substantial drop from the 1080p result, but still leaves a massive performance headroom. The data shows the system is not strained by this resolution.

At the highest tested resolution of 3840x2160, the combination still handles Ultra settings with an average of 78.9 FPS. This is the most demanding preset tested and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin of 18.9 FPS. The verdict data confirms that Ultra is the best setting at 4K, ensuring the highest visual quality while remaining playable.

The performance scaling across resolutions shows that the system is consistently powerful. For users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, the data indicates that Ultra settings are achievable at every resolution, with the 4K average of 78.9 FPS being the only scenario that drops below the 100 FPS mark. For those seeking extremely high refresh rates, the Low preset at 1080p yields 293.8 FPS, and Medium at 1080p yields 274.1 FPS, both of which would benefit high-refresh-rate displays.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Inside shows a clear shift in system bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, ranging from 179.6 FPS (Ultra) to 293.8 FPS (Low). The difference between Low and Ultra is 114.2 FPS, which suggests that while the GPU is being tasked more with higher settings, the CPU is still able to feed it enough data to maintain these high rates. This indicates a balanced load.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p provides insight into the GPU's role. The frame rates at 1440p are significantly higher than at 4K, but lower than at 1080p. For instance, at Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 179.6 FPS at 1080p to 129.8 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 49.8 FPS. This drop is directly attributable to the increased resolution, which increases the workload on the GPU. This suggests the GPU is a significant determinant of performance.

At 3840x2160, the pressure on the GPU becomes even more apparent. The Ultra setting yields 78.9 FPS, which is 50.9 FPS lower than the 1440p result. The Low setting at 4K yields 173.8 FPS, which is 90.7 FPS lower than the 1080p Low result. This consistent decline with each resolution step indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K. The data shows that while the CPU is not fully limiting at lower resolutions, the GPU becomes the dominant factor as pixel count increases.

The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, has a strong multithreaded score of 14317 in Cinebench R23 and a single-thread score of 1452, which allows it to handle the game's logic and draw calls without becoming a limiting factor. The data suggests that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is more than sufficient for this game, as the frame rate scaling between settings and resolutions is primarily dictated by the GPU's rendering workload.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals based on average benchmark scores are closely matched. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U has an average score of 27887, which is a 0% difference from the Ryzen 7 5800X3D's average of 27896. The Intel Core i9-10900K scores 27872, a 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 scores 27932, a -0.1% difference, and the Intel Core i5-12600KF scores 27799, a 0.3% difference. In practice, all of these processors would behave nearly identically in this game, as the frame rate is unlikely to be CPU-limited at the high GPU load levels seen in the data.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are also very close in performance. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT has an average score of 17083, which is a 0.7% difference from the RTX 3070's 17208. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 scores 17037, a 1% difference, and the AMD Radeon HD 7970M scores 17019, a 1.1% difference. The NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 17468, a -1.5% difference. These small deltas mean that swapping the RTX 3070 for any of these would result in virtually identical frame rates in Inside. The benchmark results show these are all within a narrow performance band.
