Inside

This combo pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT with an Intel Arc B570 for playing Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. The measured data shows a system that is broadly capable, but the 4K Ultra preset tests the limits of the hardware, while 1440p and 1080p deliver headroom well beyond the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and the Intel Arc B570 ranks 2983 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the lower half of the database, which is a notable position given the game’s age and modest hardware demands. The rank suggests that while this setup is far from the top of the leaderboard, it still performs adequately for the majority of playable scenarios.

The CPU holds the 81st percentile among all tested processors, meaning it outperforms roughly four out of five CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 29879 reflects strong multi-threaded capability, with a single-thread score of 3535. The GPU, meanwhile, sits in the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. The gap between the CPU’s percentile and the GPU’s percentile indicates that the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing, especially at higher resolutions.

Within the context of Inside, the rank of 2983 out of 3716 is driven primarily by the GPU’s performance at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate dips to 52 FPS. At 1440p and 1080p, the combo moves well above the playable threshold, but the overall rank is dragged down by that single demanding preset. If the scope of comparison were limited to 1080p, this combo would rank significantly higher, as the data shows it can exceed 100 FPS on every preset at that resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and the Intel Arc B570 becomes clear when examining frame rate scaling across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 240 FPS on Low, 192 FPS on Medium, 120 FPS on High, and 114 FPS on Ultra. These numbers are so high that the CPU’s single-thread performance (3dmark single thread score of 959) and the GPU’s raw throughput both have ample headroom. The game is not stressing either component heavily at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop to 172 FPS on Low, 138 FPS on Medium, 86 FPS on High, and 82 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction of roughly 25-30% across all presets. This pattern indicates that both components are contributing, but the GPU is starting to take on more responsibility as pixel count increases. The Arc B570’s 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient, but the added pixel workload translates directly into lower frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the trend intensifies. The system produces 108 FPS on Low, 87 FPS on Medium, 54 FPS on High, and 52 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steeper than the drop from 1080p to 1440p, particularly on the High and Ultra presets. This suggests that the GPU is now the dominant constraint. The CPU’s multi-threaded scores (cinebench r23 multicore of 23794) are more than adequate for the game’s logic, but the Arc B570’s 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is what determines the ceiling at 4K.

The data also reveals that the gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, Ultra is roughly 52% slower than Low (240 FPS vs 114 FPS). At 1440p, that gap grows to 52% as well (172 FPS vs 82 FPS). At 4K, the gap is 52% again (108 FPS vs 52 FPS). This consistency indicates that the scaling between presets is uniform, and the GPU’s performance scales linearly with the workload. The CPU’s role is consistent across resolutions, but the GPU’s role becomes proportionally more significant as the pixel count rises.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers an average of 87 FPS. The Low preset averages 108 FPS, but Medium is the highest preset that maintains playability without sacrificing visual fidelity. High and Ultra fall below the threshold, with 54 FPS and 52 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, every preset clears the 60 FPS mark. The highest playable preset is Ultra, averaging 82 FPS. This is the recommended choice for 1440p, as it provides the best visual quality while still leaving 22 FPS of headroom above the threshold. High averages 86 FPS, Medium averages 138 FPS, and Low averages 172 FPS, but Ultra is the clear pick for maximum quality.

At 1920x1080, the system excels. Ultra averages 114 FPS, which is the highest preset and still nearly double the 60 FPS threshold. High averages 120 FPS, Medium averages 192 FPS, and Low averages 240 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p is the logical choice, as it combines the best visuals with a frame rate that is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is closely matched by several other processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H has an average score of 29868, a delta of 0% relative to the 5800XT. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, which is 0.3% lower than the 5800XT. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, or 0.6% higher. Any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, since the game is not heavily CPU-bound at the tested resolutions.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20534 (0.1% higher), the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 (0.1% lower), the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480 (0.4% higher), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 20662 (0.5% lower). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning that swapping the Arc B570 for any of these GPUs would yield almost identical performance in Inside. The RTX 3070 Mobile and Arc A750 are the most relevant comparisons for desktop users, as they occupy the same performance tier.

The practical implication is that this combo’s behavior in Inside is representative of a broad class of mid-range hardware. If a user already owns one of these rival components, the frame rates would be indistinguishable from the measured data, within a margin of error of less than 1%.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers the following average frame rates: Low at 240 FPS, Medium at 192 FPS (with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 221 FPS), High at 120 FPS, and Ultra at 114 FPS. The Medium preset shows the only recorded min/max range, indicating a spread of 58 FPS between the lowest and highest frames.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 172 FPS, Medium averages 138 FPS (min 117, max 159), High averages 86 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. The min/max range for Medium is 42 FPS, which is narrower than at 1080p, suggesting slightly more consistent frame pacing.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 108 FPS, Medium averages 87 FPS (min 74, max 100), High averages 54 FPS, and Ultra averages 52 FPS. The Medium preset’s min/max range is 26 FPS, which is the tightest of all resolutions, but the High and Ultra presets fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

The data shows a clear pattern: frame rates scale almost linearly with resolution, and the Medium preset consistently provides the most stable frame times across all three resolutions. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only scenario where the system fails to reach 60 FPS, and it does so by a margin of 8 FPS.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B570 can comfortably run Inside, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, with Ultra averaging 114 FPS and Low reaching 240 FPS. This resolution offers the best combination of visual quality and performance. At 2560x1440, all presets are playable, and Ultra averages 82 FPS, making it the strongest choice for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 3840x2160, the system is partially playable: Low and Medium both exceed 60 FPS (108 FPS and 87 FPS respectively), but High and Ultra fall short at 54 FPS and 52 FPS. For 4K users, Medium is the recommended setting, as it provides a playable frame rate while retaining a reasonable level of visual detail. The verdict is clear: this combo is fully playable at 1080p and 1440p, and conditionally playable at 4K with reduced settings.
