Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearestRivals data, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs almost identically to several other CPUs in aggregate benchmarks. The Intel Core i9-10900K has an average score of 27872, which is a 0.1% delta from the 5800X3D's score of 27896. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (score 27887) is a 0% delta, and the Intel Core i5-12600KF (score 27799) is a 0.3% delta. A user with any of these processors would see virtually the same CPU-side performance in Inside, as the game's low CPU overhead means these small benchmark differences are unlikely to translate into measurable FPS differences.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080's closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, which has an average score of 54209 versus the 4080's 54247, a delta of just 0.1%. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (score 54828) is 1.1% ahead, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (score 55698) is 2.6% ahead and the AMD Radeon 8060S (score 55757) is 2.7% ahead in aggregate benchmark scores. However, given the massive FPS headroom in Inside, all of these GPUs would provide a similarly smooth and high-frame-rate experience, as the game does not stress the hardware enough to differentiate between these close scores.

The Verdict

The benchmark data unequivocally shows that this PC can run Inside flawlessly. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four tested settings presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at every resolution tested, including 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and the lowest average FPS recorded across all configs is 126 FPS (at 4K Ultra), which is more than double the threshold.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 126 FPS, making it the best settings choice for a 60 FPS experience. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 201 FPS, and at 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 224 FPS. In every scenario, the system provides a massive performance buffer, ensuring not just playability but an exceptionally smooth experience with room to spare. The data indicates that this is a top-tier configuration for this game, ranking in the top 20% of all tested combos.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across resolutions and settings. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 126 FPS on Ultra to 227 FPS on Low. The Medium preset at this resolution yields an average of 210 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 178 FPS and a maximum of 241 FPS. The High preset averages 133 FPS. The data shows a clear scaling with settings, where dropping from Ultra to Low nearly doubles the frame rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS increases across all settings. The Low preset averages 265 FPS, Medium averages 245 FPS (with min/max of 208/282), High averages 204 FPS, and Ultra averages 201 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is minimal, at just 3 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns from the most demanding preset.

At 1920x1080, the performance is at its peak. The Low preset hits an average of 296 FPS. The Medium preset averages 273 FPS with a minimum of 232 FPS and a maximum of 314 FPS. The High preset averages 228 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 224 FPS. The scaling between 1440p and 1080p is modest, indicating that the game is not heavily resolution-bound at these high frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

For a 60 FPS target, the most demanding preset that stays at or above the threshold is the same for all resolutions: Ultra. The data confirms that the Ultra preset is not only playable but delivers exceptional performance at every resolution tested.

• 3840x2160 (4K): The Ultra preset averages 126 FPS, which is the best visual quality setting that remains well above 60 FPS.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): The Ultra preset averages 201 FPS, offering the highest fidelity with a massive performance margin.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): The Ultra preset averages 224 FPS, ensuring maximum visual quality with no compromise to frame rate.

Since even the lowest recorded average FPS (126 at 4K Ultra) is more than double the playable threshold, there is no scenario where a user would need to reduce settings for the sake of performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the primary performance driver in this configuration. The GPU's percentile rank of 86 versus the CPU's 80 suggests that the GPU is the more powerful component relative to its peers. The FPS scaling across resolutions reinforces this conclusion. When moving from 1080p to 4K, the average FPS on Ultra drops from 224 to 126, a reduction of 98 FPS. This significant scaling with resolution points to the GPU being the bottleneck, as the CPU's workload does not change substantially with resolution.

The CPU's role is more pronounced at lower resolutions where the frame rates are extremely high. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 296, which is a demanding scenario for the CPU to keep up with the GPU. However, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, with its 16 threads and high single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 884), is more than capable of handling this workload. The 5800X3D's 3DMark 16-thread score of 7299 shows strong multi-threaded capability, but for this game, the single-thread performance is likely more relevant.

The scaling between settings presets also highlights the GPU's role. At 4K, the difference between Low (227 FPS) and Ultra (126 FPS) is 101 FPS, a clear indication of the GPU's rendering workload. The CPU's performance remains consistent regardless of the graphics settings, so the frame rate changes are attributable to the GPU. In summary, for Inside, the RTX 4080 is the determining factor for performance, with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D providing ample processing headroom to prevent any CPU-side limitations.
