Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a puzzle platformer that is far from demanding on modern hardware. The benchmark data shows this pairing produces extremely high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, making it a system that can handle the game with substantial headroom for any display.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a consistent pattern of high performance, with the RTX 5080 clearly dominating the workload. At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the system achieves its highest frame rates. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 297.3, which is a remarkable figure for any game. Moving up to Medium settings, the average drops only slightly to 271.5 FPS, while High settings produce 226.3 FPS. The most demanding preset at this resolution, Ultra, still maintains an average of 223.2 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is almost entirely GPU-bound, with the CPU having ample headroom to feed the graphics card.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally strong, though the added pixel count begins to show a modest impact. The Low preset averages 263.3 FPS, which is a reduction of about 34 FPS compared to 1080p. Medium settings deliver 246.6 FPS, while High settings drop to 201.4 FPS. The Ultra preset, which typically places the greatest strain on the GPU, still achieves a very comfortable 199.7 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is approximately 64 FPS, demonstrating that even the most visually intensive settings leave significant performance on the table.

The 3840x2160 resolution, or 4K, presents the most demanding scenario, yet the system still delivers outstanding results. Low settings produce an average of 227.5 FPS, which is notably higher than the 1080p High preset. Medium settings average 209.4 FPS, while High settings drop to 137.9 FPS. The Ultra preset, which represents the maximum visual fidelity, still maintains an average of 136.7 FPS. This represents a substantial performance difference between Low and Ultra at 4K, with a spread of nearly 91 FPS, but even the lowest figure is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold.

The data shows no minimum or maximum FPS values, but the average figures alone speak to the system's capability. The RTX 5080, with its 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 960.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, appears to be the primary driver of these results. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D's 96 MB of shared L3 cache and 8-core/16-thread configuration ensure that CPU bottlenecks are virtually nonexistent in this title. The frame rates scale predictably with resolution, with 4K imposing roughly a 40% reduction in average FPS compared to 1080p across similar settings, which is typical for a game that scales primarily with GPU load.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this system each have nearby rivals that would produce similar in-game behavior. For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the nearest rivals based on average benchmark scores are remarkably close in performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U shows a deltaPct of 0, meaning it has an identical average score of 27887 compared to the 5800X3D's 27896. This is a negligible difference that would translate to virtually identical frame rates in Inside. The Intel Core i9-10900K is also essentially tied, with an average score of 27872 and a deltaPct of 0.1, indicating it is just slightly slower. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 is marginally faster with a score of 27932 and a deltaPct of -0.1, while the Intel Core i5-12600KF trails by a small margin with a score of 27799 and a deltaPct of 0.3. Any of these CPUs paired with the RTX 5080 would deliver nearly indistinguishable performance in this game, as the title does not stress multi-threaded workloads heavily.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080's nearest rivals show slightly larger performance deltas. The AMD Radeon 8060S has an average score of 55757, which is 0.6% slower than the RTX 5080's 56083. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is similarly close, with a score of 55698 and a deltaPct of 0.7. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X trails by 2.3% with a score of 54828. The only rival that outperforms the RTX 5080 in this group is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which has a score of 57367 and a deltaPct of -2.2, meaning it is about 2.2% faster on average. In practical terms for Inside, these differences would manifest as only a few frames per second at most. The RTX 5080's percentile rank of 87 among all GPUs places it well above the majority of graphics cards, and systems with any of these near-equivalent GPUs would all comfortably exceed the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and setting.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 ranks 709th out of 3716 tested combinations in Inside. This places the system in the top 19% of all configurations that have been benchmarked for this game. Given the game's relatively low hardware requirements, this ranking reflects the substantial performance headroom of this pairing rather than any limitation. The 5800X3D, with its 80th percentile ranking among all CPUs, and the RTX 5080, with its 87th percentile among all GPUs, form a duo that is well above average.

The combo rank of 709 out of 3716 indicates that there are 708 combinations that perform better in this game, likely featuring newer or higher-end components such as the RTX 5090 or future GPUs. However, the practical significance of this ranking is limited by the game's nature. Since the system already achieves frame rates far beyond the 60 FPS playable threshold at all tested settings and resolutions, the difference between rank 709 and a higher rank would only be visible in extreme scenarios, such as very high refresh rate displays or competitive settings where every frame counts. The data demonstrates that this combination is more than sufficient for Inside, and the ranking primarily serves as proof of the GPU's strength rather than a reflection of any deficiency.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside flawlessly at every tested resolution and preset. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The playable threshold of 60 FPS is cleared by a wide margin in every scenario. At 4K Ultra, the most demanding configuration, the system averages 136.7 FPS, which is more than double the threshold. At 1440p Ultra, the average jumps to 199.7 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, it reaches 223.2 FPS.

This means that users can play Inside at maximum visual quality without any concern for performance drops. The game, which launched on 2016-07-06, is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer with relatively modest graphical demands, and the combination of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and RTX 5080 is overkill for this title in the best possible way. The system's performance is so strong that it would be better suited to far more demanding games, but for Inside, it provides an exceptionally smooth and stable experience. The data shows no scenario where the frame rate approaches the playable limit, indicating that this hardware combination is more than capable of handling the game's requirements.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data indicates that the most demanding preset at each resolution maintains frame rates far above the 60 FPS target, so users can confidently select Ultra settings for the best visual experience.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 223.2 FPS. This is the highest possible quality setting and provides a smooth experience on any high-refresh-rate monitor. The gap between Ultra and the next setting down, High, is just 3.1 FPS, making Ultra the clear choice for maximum fidelity without sacrificing performance.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 199.7 FPS. This represents a significant step up in visual quality compared to High, which averages 201.4 FPS, but the difference is minimal. The system maintains a comfortable margin over the 60 FPS threshold, so Ultra is recommended for the best balance of image quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 136.7 FPS. While this is the lowest average across all tested configurations, it is still more than twice the playable threshold. The High preset at this resolution averages 137.9 FPS, showing that the performance difference between High and Ultra is negligible at 4K. Users with 4K displays can select Ultra without hesitation, as the system maintains a substantial performance buffer even with maximum settings enabled.
