Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination delivers excellent performance in Inside, pushing far beyond the 60 FPS playability threshold at every tested resolution and preset. The data shows this pairing is overwhelmingly capable for this puzzle platformer, with even the most demanding settings at 4K remaining comfortably playable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces exceptional frame rates across all settings. The Low preset delivers an average of 309 FPS, while Medium reaches 247 FPS with a minimum of 210 FPS and a maximum of 284 FPS. High settings still yield 155 FPS on average, and Ultra tops out the chart at 147 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, with Ultra representing a 52% reduction in average frame rate compared to Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains extremely high. Low settings average 222 FPS, Medium delivers 178 FPS with a minimum of 151 FPS and maximum of 204 FPS, and High reaches 111 FPS. Ultra settings still maintain an average of 106 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent drop across presets, with Ultra falling from 147 FPS to 106 FPS, a 28% decrease.

At 3840x2160, the combination remains fully playable even at the highest quality settings. Low settings produce an average of 140 FPS, Medium averages 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and maximum of 128 FPS, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra averages 66 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest average recorded in the entire dataset, yet it still exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold by a meaningful margin. The Medium preset at 4K shows particularly stable performance, with the minimum of 95 FPS indicating no significant frame drops.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that this game is remarkably well-optimized, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1080p, the average frame rates are extraordinarily high, suggesting that the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT's processing power is sufficient to feed the AMD Radeon RX 9060 without creating a CPU-bound scenario. The 309 FPS result at 1080p Low indicates that the CPU handles the game's logic and physics with ample headroom.

As resolution scales from 1080p to 1440p, the average frame rates drop by approximately 28-33% across presets, which is consistent with increased pixel rendering demands on the GPU. The transition from 1440p to 4K shows a more pronounced decline, with Ultra settings falling from 106 FPS to 66 FPS, a 38% reduction. This pattern confirms that the GPU's rendering workload becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains sufficient throughput.

The frame time consistency, evidenced by the Medium preset data, reinforces this interpretation. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 74 FPS, while at 1440p Medium it narrows to 53 FPS, and at 4K Medium it tightens to 33 FPS. This tightening range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is working closer to its maximum capacity, reducing the variance caused by CPU-side frame generation.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, but Ultra settings provide the most visually demanding experience while maintaining an average of 147 FPS. This represents the best combination of image quality and performance, with the 147 FPS average leaving substantial headroom above the 60 FPS threshold.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings again represent the optimal choice, delivering 106 FPS on average. The data shows that this resolution and preset combination maintains smooth gameplay without requiring any compromises in visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 66 FPS. While this is lower than the results at other resolutions, it still exceeds the playability threshold by 10%. The High preset at 4K averages 70 FPS, but the six-frame difference between High and Ultra suggests that players seeking maximum visual fidelity can safely select Ultra without falling below playable frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT's nearest rivals in benchmark performance include the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H with an average score of 29868 and a delta of 0%, indicating essentially identical performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, representing a 0.3% advantage over the 5800XT. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, which is 0.6% lower. These processors would behave nearly identically in Inside, delivering comparable frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 9060's nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which scores 16129 compared to the RX 9060's 16014 average benchmark score, a 0.7% difference. The AMD Radeon R9 370X scores 15862, representing a 1% performance deficit, while the AMD Radeon RX 7700 scores 15852, also 1% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 trails by 2.1% with a score of 15679. In practical terms, any of these graphics cards paired with the 5800XT would produce frame rates within a few percentage points of the measured results in this dataset.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 9060 ranks 2129 out of 3716 tested combinations in Inside, placing it in the 57th percentile of all tested hardware pairings. This ranking reflects the combination's strong performance in this specific game, though the high frame rates achieved suggest that the ranking is influenced by the presence of more powerful hardware in the database rather than any deficiency in this pairing.

The rank of 2129 out of 3716 indicates that approximately 57% of tested combinations deliver higher performance in Inside. However, given that this combination achieves at least 66 FPS at 4K Ultra settings, the practical gameplay experience is excellent. The ranking likely reflects the presence of significantly more expensive and powerful components in the benchmark database, rather than any meaningful limitation of this pairing for this game.
