Inside

This PC configuration, pairing the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, delivers a decisive performance verdict for Inside. The data set shows that this hardware combination operates far above the 60 FPS playable threshold across every tested resolution and preset, making it an exceptionally capable system for this puzzle platformer.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern of high performance, with the RTX 3080 providing substantial headroom at every quality level. At 1920x1080, the configuration starts at an average of 296 FPS on Low settings and retains an average of 210 FPS even at Ultra, demonstrating that the GPU is rarely the limiting factor at this resolution. The Medium preset at 1080p shows a narrow range between 232 FPS minimum and 314 FPS maximum, with an average of 273 FPS, indicating stable frame delivery under load. High settings at 1080p produce an average of 220 FPS, which is only slightly below the Medium preset, suggesting the visual quality upgrade comes at a modest performance cost.

Moving up to 2560x1440, the performance remains remarkably high. Low settings yield an average of 265 FPS, while Medium settings deliver 245 FPS average, dipping to a 208 FPS minimum and peaking at 282 FPS. High settings at 1440p produce an average of 158 FPS, and Ultra settings still manage an average of 151 FPS. The differential between High and Ultra at this resolution is minimal, with only a 7 FPS gap, implying the Ultra preset is highly efficient on this hardware. The 1440p Medium preset shows a slightly wider spread between minimum and maximum frames, from 208 to 282 FPS, yet the average remains firmly above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the configuration continues to excel. Low settings produce an average of 199 FPS, while Medium settings achieve 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 FPS and a maximum of 183 FPS. High settings at 4K deliver an average of 99 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain an average of 95 FPS. The step from Medium to High at 4K represents the largest single-preset drop in the data, from 159 to 99 FPS, but even the most demanding Ultra preset stays well above the 60 FPS threshold. The 4K Medium preset shows a variance of 48 FPS between its minimum and maximum values, which is the widest range recorded in the entire dataset, yet the average remains highly playable.

A: At 3840x2160, Low settings average 199 FPS, while Medium settings average 159 FPS. The Medium preset also provides a minimum of 135 FPS and a maximum of 183 FPS, showing a 40 FPS reduction from Low to Medium on average.

Q: What are the best settings for a 60 FPS target at 1440p?

A: All presets at 2560x1440 exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra settings delivering 151 FPS average. The most demanding preset, Ultra, is still more than double the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this configuration each have close benchmark rivals that would produce similar behavior in Inside. For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which has an average benchmark score of 27887 compared to the 5800X3D's 27896, representing a negligible 0% delta. The Intel Core i9-10900K is nearly identical with an average score of 27872, just 0.1% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 scores 27932, which is 0.1% ahead, and the Intel Core i5-12600KF scores 27799, a 0.3% difference. These rivals would deliver essentially identical frame rates in Inside, as the game's performance is likely GPU-bound at most settings.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080's nearest rival is the NVIDIA P106-100, which has an average score of 23249 versus the RTX 3080's 23172, a delta of -0.3%. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 scores 23250, also -0.3% relative, and the AMD Radeon RX 6600M scores 23273, which is -0.4% behind. The AMD Radeon R9 M290X completes the list with a score of 23276, also -0.4% from the RTX 3080. These GPUs would produce nearly the same FPS numbers in Inside, although the RTX 3080's higher memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s and 10 GB of GDDR6X memory may offer slight advantages in texture-heavy scenes, even if the average benchmark scores are similar.

The Verdict

This system can run Inside with exceptional proficiency at every resolution tested. The verdict by resolution confirms that all three resolutions—1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160—are fully playable at every preset, from Low to Ultra. At 1080p, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 210 FPS, which is more than triple the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Ultra settings average 151 FPS, offering a smooth experience with high visual fidelity. At 4K, Ultra settings still achieve an average of 95 FPS, ensuring that users with high-refresh-rate 4K displays can enjoy the game at maximum quality without compromise. The data indicates that this configuration never approaches the playable threshold, even in the most demanding scenarios, making it an overqualified choice for Inside.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 210 FPS. This represents the highest visual quality available while providing more than enough performance headroom. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are also the best choice, averaging 151 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at this resolution is small, but Ultra offers the full visual experience without meaningful performance sacrifice. At 3840x2160, Ultra settings average 95 FPS, again the most demanding preset that clears the 60 FPS bar. The data shows that users can select the maximum preset at all resolutions and remain far above the playable threshold, with the 4K Ultra setting being the lowest average at 95 FPS but still substantially higher than required.

How This Combo Ranks

This CPU and GPU combination ranks 1123 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the upper third of all systems evaluated. The rank reflects the high performance of both components, with the RTX 3080 delivering strong results in this puzzle platformer. Given that the game is not graphically intensive compared to modern AAA titles, the RTX 3080's 29.77 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D's 96 MB of L3 cache contribute to the system's ability to maintain extremely high frame rates across all resolution and setting combinations. The percentile rankings also support this: the CPU sits at the 80th percentile versus all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 68th percentile versus all GPUs, indicating both components are above average in their respective categories. The combination's rank of 1123 out of 3716 suggests that while many systems can run Inside well, this particular pairing is positioned favorably for users seeking maximum performance and future-proofing.
