Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is an exceptionally high-end combination, and the benchmark data for Inside reflects that with overwhelming performance at every tested setting. This is not a system that merely runs the game; it is one that obliterates the 60 FPS threshold with substantial headroom, making it a top-tier choice for high-refresh-rate displays even at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces frame rates that are almost absurdly high. On Low settings, the average FPS is 323, which is the highest recorded average across all resolutions and settings. Moving to Medium yields an average of 299 FPS, with a minimum of 254 FPS and a maximum of 343 FPS. High settings still deliver an average of 249 FPS, while Ultra settings only slightly reduce performance to an average of 245 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is a mere 78 FPS, indicating that even at the highest visual fidelity, the hardware is nowhere near stressed.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance remains staggering. Low settings produce an average of 290 FPS. Medium settings see an average of 267 FPS, with a minimum of 227 FPS and a maximum of 308 FPS. High settings maintain an average of 211 FPS, and Ultra settings drop only to 201 FPS on average. Even the minimum FPS at Medium here is more than triple the playable threshold of 60 FPS, showcasing that the GPU and CPU are operating with massive headroom.

At 3840x2160, the true 4K performance is still far beyond what most gamers need. Low settings yield an average of 248 FPS. Medium settings reduce this to 212 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 181 FPS and a maximum of 244 FPS. High settings average 133 FPS, and Ultra settings, the most demanding preset tested, still deliver an average of 126 FPS. This means that even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains a frame rate that is double the playable threshold, ensuring a completely smooth experience on any current high-refresh-rate 4K monitor.

The data consistently shows that the average FPS scales predictably with resolution, but the performance delta between presets is relatively small. For instance, at 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 122 FPS, which is significant but still leaves the Ultra preset at a very high 126 FPS. The minimum FPS values provided for Medium settings across all resolutions are all well above 180 FPS, indicating excellent frame pacing and a lack of severe drops.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 holds a comboRankInGame of 463 out of 3716 tested combos. This places it in the top 12.5% of all systems tested for Inside, which is a strong indicator of its high-end positioning. While it does not claim the absolute top spot, the rank reflects a system that is far more powerful than the vast majority of configurations that have been benchmarked.

The ranking is a function of both components. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, sits at the 81st percentile when compared to all other CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 29879, and it is closely matched by its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H with a score of 29868 (a 0% difference) and the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS with a score of 29955 (a -0.3% difference). This indicates that the CPU is a very strong performer, though not the absolute fastest available. The GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247. Its closest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER with a score of 54209 (a 0.1% difference) and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X with a score of 54828 (a -1.1% difference). This confirms the GPU is a top-tier component.

The combination of a high-percentile CPU and GPU naturally results in a high combo rank. The fact that the CPU's nearest rivals are all within a 1% performance delta suggests that for a game like Inside, which is not exceptionally demanding, the CPU choice has a minimal impact on the final ranking. The GPU likely plays a larger role in pushing the system to this rank, given its high percentile and the nature of the game's rendering. The 463rd rank out of 3716 is a clear verdict that this is a premium configuration that will not struggle with this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

Analyzing the FPS scaling between resolutions and presets reveals a clear picture of component roles for Inside. The core insight is that this game is far more demanding on the GPU than the CPU for this particular pairing. The evidence is in the resolution scaling. When moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 at the same settings, the average FPS drops substantially. For example, at Ultra settings, the average FPS falls from 245 at 1080p to 201 at 1440p and then to 126 at 4K. This is a 119 FPS reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is a classic sign of a GPU-bound workload. The GPU is having to render roughly four times the number of pixels at 4K compared to 1080p, and the performance cost is directly visible.

The CPU's role is less pronounced, but it still provides a solid foundation. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is more than sufficient for the game's logic and physics. The benchmark results show that the performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is smaller than the drop from 1440p to 4K. For instance, at Medium settings, the average FPS is 299 at 1080p, 267 at 1440p, and 212 at 4K. The delta between 1080p and 1440p is 32 FPS, while the delta between 1440p and 4K is 55 FPS. This increasing performance penalty as resolution rises is a hallmark of a GPU bottleneck. The CPU is feeding the GPU frames faster than it can render them at lower resolutions, but at 4K, the GPU's rendering time becomes the limiting factor.

Furthermore, the impact of changing presets is relatively flat, which further emphasizes the GPU's dominance. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 122 FPS, but even the lowest preset, Low, produces 248 FPS. This suggests that the CPU is not being taxed heavily by the game's settings. The game's visual effects, which are likely more GPU-intensive, do not create a CPU bottleneck. The data indicates that for this specific combination, the RTX 4080 is the primary performance driver, and the Ryzen 7 5800XT provides ample support without becoming a limiting factor at any tested resolution or preset. The CPU's high single-thread and multi-thread scores, such as a cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 3359 and a passmark_single_thread score of 3535, confirm its ability to handle the game's requirements without issue.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Inside? The answer is a definitive yes, at every resolution and setting combination tested. The benchmark data shows that all playableSettings for each resolution include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra. This means the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with ease across the board.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, and the system achieves an average FPS of 126. This is more than double the playable threshold, meaning users can enjoy the game at maximum fidelity with a very high frame rate on a 4K display. At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average FPS of 201. This is an exceptional result, providing a flawless experience for 1440p high-refresh-rate monitors. Finally, at 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, and the system delivers an average FPS of 245. This is an outstanding result, making the game run buttery smooth on any 1080p display, including those with refresh rates above 240 Hz.

The verdict is clear: this is a system that does not just run the game; it excels at it. There is no scenario in the data where the frame rate dips below the 60 FPS threshold. Even the lowest recorded minimum FPS, which was 181 FPS at 4K Medium settings, is nearly three times the playable threshold. This build is overkill for Inside, but that overkill translates into a perfectly smooth and visually flawless experience, with zero concerns about performance issues. For a game with a simple art style like Inside, the hardware is so far beyond the requirements that the user will likely be limited by their monitor's refresh rate rather than the system's capabilities.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For users looking at comparable hardware, the nearest rivals to both the CPU and GPU provide a clear picture of what would perform similarly. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, has an average benchmark score of 29879. Its closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, which has an average score of 29868, a 0% difference. This means a system with a Ryzen 7 7840H would behave essentially identically in Inside. Other close competitors include the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, both with an average score of 29955 and a -0.3% difference, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, with a score of 29713 and a 0.6% difference. All of these CPUs are within a 1% performance delta, meaning any of them paired with a similar GPU would yield virtually the same frame rates in this game.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 has an average benchmark score of 54247. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, with a score of 54209 and a 0.1% difference. This is a negligible performance gap, so a system with an RTX 4080 SUPER would be practically indistinguishable from one with the RTX 4080 for Inside. Other nearby options include the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, which scores 54828 (a -1.1% difference), and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, which scores 55698 (a -2.6% difference). While these AMD cards have slightly higher average benchmark scores in the database, the differences are small enough that in a game as undemanding as Inside, the user would not notice any practical difference in frame rate or smoothness.

In summary, a system built with a Ryzen 7 7840H or a Ryzen 7 8845HS, or a GPU like the RTX 4080 SUPER, would deliver a nearly identical experience. The performance deltas are all below 3%, which is well within the margin of error for real-world frame rates in a game that is already running at hundreds of FPS. These alternatives would all be excellent choices for playing Inside at maximum settings.
