Inside

The data for Inside with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 shows a combination that handles this puzzle platformer with overwhelming headroom at every tested setting. The measured frame rates indicate that this is not a scenario where compromises are needed; rather, the hardware is far beyond the demands of the title. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance, contextualizes the ranking, and provides practical guidance for maximizing visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results provide average frame rates across three resolutions and four quality presets, with no recorded minimum or maximum values in the data. At 1920x1080, the performance is exceptionally high. The Low preset delivers an average of 320.6 FPS, while Medium reaches 266.3 FPS and High sits at 164.7 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 155.9 FPS, which is more than double the playable threshold of 60 FPS. The scaling between presets is roughly linear: dropping from Ultra to High yields a modest gain of 8.8 FPS, while moving from High to Medium adds another 101.6 FPS, and Medium to Low adds 54.3 FPS. The data indicates the CPU and GPU are far from saturated at 1080p, even on Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 237.8 FPS, Medium drops to 188.7 FPS, and High falls to 118.4 FPS. The Ultra preset still holds an average of 115 FPS, which is nearly double the 60 FPS target. The cost of increasing resolution from 1080p to 1440p is significant but not crippling: at Ultra, the average drops from 155.9 FPS to 115 FPS, a reduction of 40.9 FPS (about 26%). At Low, the drop is smaller in percentage terms, from 320.6 FPS to 237.8 FPS, a reduction of 82.8 FPS (about 26% as well). This consistent proportional drop suggests the GPU is the primary scaling factor, but the absolute numbers remain far above any playability concern.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the performance starts to show the first signs of pressure, but still clears the 60 FPS bar comfortably. The Low preset averages 149.8 FPS, Medium reaches 122.7 FPS, and High drops to 72.4 FPS. The Ultra preset averages exactly 70 FPS, which is the lowest recorded value across all tests but still 10 FPS above the playable threshold. The delta between High and Ultra at 4K is just 2.4 FPS, indicating diminishing returns from the highest preset. The jump from Medium to High is more substantial, costing 50.3 FPS (from 122.7 to 72.4). This shows that the RTX 4060's 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus are adequate for this game's relatively simple visuals, even at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800XT and RTX 4060 achieves a comboRankInGame of 1935 out of 3716 tested combinations. This places it in the 52nd percentile of all tested combos, meaning it outperforms slightly more than half of all configurations tested for Inside. Given the game's 2016 release date and its 2D side-scrolling nature, this rank is unsurprising — the hardware is far beyond the game's requirements. The rank reflects that many modern, high-end GPUs (such as RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX class parts) will post higher frame rates, but the 4060's position in the lower-mid range of the GPU market is offset by the game's low demands.

The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus is 81, meaning it outperforms 81% of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (deltaPct 0), the Ryzen 7 8845HS (deltaPct -0.3), and the Ryzen 5 9600X (deltaPct 0.6). These are all mobile or newer desktop parts with similar multi-threaded scores. The GPU's percentileVsAllGpus is 61, placing it ahead of 61% of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all older or integrated parts: the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (deltaPct -0.2), the Radeon 780M (deltaPct 0.3), and the Radeon Pro 560 (deltaPct 0.5). This positioning explains why the combo ranks in the middle of the pack — the CPU is strong, but the GPU is only mid-tier by modern standards. For Inside, however, this rank is misleading; the game is so light that even a 4K Ultra preset at 70 FPS is achievable, which many higher-ranked combos would also match.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K Ultra settings?*

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings is 70 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the most demanding preset tested, and it still clears the bar.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p?

A: The Ultra preset is playable at 2560x1440 with an average of 115 FPS. There is no need to lower settings for performance reasons, as even the highest preset maintains a significant margin above 60 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639, which is 0.2% lower than the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17666), 0.3% higher than the AMD Radeon 780M (17588), and 0.5% higher than the AMD Radeon Pro 560 (17551). These are all very close scores, indicating the 4060 sits in a specific performance tier.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5800XT a bottleneck for this game?

A: The data suggests no. The CPU has a strong single-thread score (3359 in Cinebench R23) and multi-thread score (23794), and its percentile ranking of 81 indicates it is far more capable than the majority of CPUs. The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K is smooth, with no sudden drops that would indicate a CPU limitation.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between High and Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the High preset averages 164.7 FPS, while Ultra averages 155.9 FPS. The difference is 8.8 FPS, which is a negligible trade-off for the visual upgrade.

Q: Does the game ever drop below 60 FPS in any tested configuration?

A: No. The lowest average FPS recorded across all resolutions and presets is 70 FPS at 4K Ultra. Every other configuration exceeds 115 FPS on average.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside with absolute authority. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four settings presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at every resolution tested, from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the lowest average FPS recorded is 70 FPS at 4K Ultra. At 1440p, the Ultra preset delivers 115 FPS, and at 1080p, it delivers 155.9 FPS. There is no scenario in the data where this combination fails to clear the 60 FPS bar, even at the most demanding settings. The verdict is unambiguous: this is a high-refresh-rate experience at 1080p and 1440p, and a smooth 60+ FPS experience at 4K. Users with a 60 Hz 4K monitor can max out all settings; users with 144 Hz 1440p panels can also max out settings and still have headroom. The only limitation is the lack of min/max FPS data, so stutter analysis is not possible, but the average FPS figures are so high that any transient dips would likely remain above 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 7 5800XT and RTX 4060 in Inside is heavily skewed toward the GPU, but the CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the scaling from Low to Ultra shows the GPU is the limiting factor: the frame rate drops from 320.6 FPS to 155.9 FPS, a 51% reduction. The CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at these rates, as evidenced by the high single-thread score of 3359 in Cinebench R23. Had the CPU been a bottleneck, we would expect to see a plateau at high frame rates across presets, but instead we see consistent scaling, which indicates the GPU is doing the work.

At 1440p, the GPU’s dominance grows. The difference between Low (237.8 FPS) and Ultra (115 FPS) is 122.8 FPS, a 52% reduction, nearly identical to the 1080p scaling. This suggests the GPU is still the primary constraint, as the resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra reduced FPS by 40.9 FPS (from 155.9 to 115), which is a 26% drop. This is a typical GPU-bound scaling pattern — the pixel workload increases, and the GPU responds proportionally.

At 4K, the GPU is entirely the bottleneck. The scaling from Low (149.8 FPS) to Ultra (70 FPS) is a 53% reduction, again consistent with the other resolutions. The CPU’s role is minimal here, as the frame rates are low enough (relative to 1080p) that the CPU is never stretched. The Ryzen 7 5800XT’s 8 cores and 16 threads are simply not taxed by a game like Inside, which likely uses only a few threads. The data shows that the CPU’s performance (81st percentile) is far above what this game needs, making the RTX 4060 the sole arbiter of frame rates. In practical terms, upgrading the CPU would yield zero FPS gain, while upgrading the GPU would proportionally increase FPS at all resolutions, especially at 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 155.9 FPS. Since this is the highest preset available, there is no higher setting to try. The data shows no reason to lower settings for performance; even Ultra provides more than double the 60 FPS target.

For 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, delivering an average of 115 FPS. This is 55 FPS above the playable threshold, so there is no performance incentive to reduce quality. The visual upgrade from High to Ultra is worth the 3.4 FPS difference (from 118.4 to 115).

For 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 70 FPS. This is just 10 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, so it is technically playable, but there is less headroom. If a user prefers a larger safety margin, dropping to High reduces the average to 72.4 FPS — a negligible change — while Medium jumps to 122.7 FPS. However, since the question is about the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS, the answer remains Ultra. The data shows that even at 4K, the RTX 4060 has enough performance to enable the highest visual fidelity in Inside.
