Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is an exceptionally high-end combination that utterly overwhelms Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Measured benchmark data shows this system delivers triple-digit frame rates at every resolution and preset combination tested, making it a case of massive hardware headroom for a lightweight title. The data confirms that every setting from Low to Ultra at 4K, 1440p, and 1080p clears the 60 FPS playability threshold by a wide margin, with the lowest recorded average being 126 FPS at 4K Ultra.

FAQ

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

A: Yes. The measured average frame rate at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings is 126 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the average frame rate drops from 248 FPS on Low to 126 FPS on Ultra. This represents a 122 FPS reduction, or roughly a 49% performance penalty for enabling the highest visual preset.

Q: Is the RTX 4080 SUPER a bottleneck at 1080p in this game?

A: No. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates range from 245 FPS at Ultra to 323 FPS at Low. The GPU is never the limiting factor, as even the most demanding preset produces nearly 250 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals in general benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 7 5800XT has an average benchmark score of 29879, placing it essentially even with the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29868, 0% delta) and AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (29955, -0.3% delta). It is slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (29713, 0.6% delta).

Q: What is the GPU's standing among all tested graphics cards?

A: The RTX 4080 SUPER scores in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54209. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, scores 54247, a negligible 0.1% difference.

Q: Does the game ever drop below 60 FPS with this hardware?

A: No. The only recorded minimum frame rate data points are 180 FPS at 4K Medium, 227 FPS at 1440p Medium, and 254 FPS at 1080p Medium. All measured averages and minimums are far above 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For CPU-bound tasks, the Ryzen 7 5800XT sits in a tight performance cluster. Its average benchmark score of 29879 is virtually identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29868, 0% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (29955, -0.3% delta). The AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS also lands at 29955 (-0.3% delta). The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is the nearest lower-scoring rival at 29713 (0.6% delta). In practical terms, swapping between these four processors would yield no perceptible difference in Inside, since the game's frame rates are already several times higher than the display refresh rate on any of them.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 54209 places it within a narrow band of competitors. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 scores 54247, a 0.1% delta that is effectively a tie. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828 (-1.1% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698 (-2.7% delta), and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757 (-2.8% delta). The delta percentages here indicate the RTX 4080 SUPER actually scores slightly lower than these AMD alternatives in aggregate benchmarks, though all four GPUs would deliver identical playable performance in Inside given the massive frame rate headroom.

Because Inside is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer with modest graphical demands, the realistic takeaway is that any of these rival components would produce the same 200+ FPS results at 1440p and 4K. The performance differences visible in synthetic benchmarks do not translate to any meaningful difference in this specific game. Users considering a comparable build could expect near-identical FPS with any of the listed rival CPUs or GPUs.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that the GPU is the primary scaling factor across resolutions and presets, while the CPU contributes negligible overhead. At 4K, the average frame rate scales from 248 FPS at Low to 211 FPS at Medium, 132 FPS at High, and 126 FPS at Ultra. This 122 FPS spread between Low and Ultra demonstrates that the graphics card workload increases substantially with visual quality, but even the heaviest preset leaves enormous headroom.

At 1440p, the same pattern holds with slightly higher absolute numbers: 290 FPS at Low, 267 FPS at Medium, 210 FPS at High, and 200 FPS at Ultra. At 1080p, the spread narrows in percentage terms but remains large in absolute values: 323 FPS at Low, 299 FPS at Medium, 249 FPS at High, and 245 FPS at Ultra. The resolution scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings shows a drop from 245 FPS to 126 FPS, which is a 119 FPS reduction — this is classic GPU-bound scaling where pixel count directly drives the render load.

The CPU's role is minimal in this configuration. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's 8-core, 16-thread design with a 4.80 GHz boost clock is far beyond what a 2016 puzzle platformer requires. The game's simple physics and sprite-based visuals do not create meaningful multi-threaded workloads. Evidence of this lies in the frame rates at 1080p Low (323 FPS) versus 4K Ultra (126 FPS): if the CPU were limiting, the 1080p results would plateau at a much lower value. Instead, the 1080p numbers are dramatically higher, proving the CPU is never the constraint. The component that matters more is clearly the RTX 4080 SUPER, and even that GPU is only mildly taxed at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 467th out of 3716 tested combos for Inside, placing it in the top 12.6% of all configurations in the database. The rank reflects the raw capability of both components: the CPU's 81st percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 86th percentile among all graphics cards.

The high combo rank is somewhat misleading for this game because Inside is not demanding enough to separate high-end hardware. A system ranking in the 87th percentile might sound like a mid-pack result, but the actual measured performance tells a different story. At 4K Ultra, this combo produces 126 FPS average, which is more than double the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 1440p Ultra, it hits 200 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, 245 FPS. These numbers indicate the combo sits far above the practical requirements, and the rank of 467/3716 is simply a consequence of many other high-end systems also scoring near the top.

The gap between this combo and the 466 combos ranked above it is likely negligible in actual gameplay, since all of them would be capped by display refresh rates rather than hardware limits. The data shows that the 5800XT and 4080 SUPER combination is firmly in the upper tier, with the CPU and GPU both scoring above the 80th percentile in their respective benchmark pools. For Inside, the rank is a formality — the performance outcome is indistinguishable from the top 100 combos.

The Verdict

This PC runs Inside flawlessly at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdict by resolution confirms all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the lowest measured average across all twelve test scenarios is 126 FPS at 4K Ultra.

At 4K, the best playable setting is Ultra with an average of 126 FPS, which is 66 FPS above the threshold. At 1440p, Ultra delivers 200 FPS average, and at 1080p, Ultra delivers 245 FPS average. There is no scenario in the measured data where this combination fails to meet or massively exceed 60 FPS. The minimum frame rates recorded — 180 FPS at 4K Medium, 227 FPS at 1440p Medium, and 254 FPS at 1080p Medium — all confirm that even transient drops stay far above the playability floor.

The only caveat is that these numbers represent a massive over-provision of hardware for a game from 2016. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth, combined with the Ryzen 7 5800XT's 8-core/16-thread processing power, are entirely excessive for Inside. Users with high-refresh-rate displays (144 Hz or higher) can enable Ultra at 4K and still have frame rate headroom. Those with 60 Hz displays will never see the hardware break a sweat.

Best Settings per Resolution

1920x1080: The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving 245 FPS average. This is the highest quality setting available, and it delivers 185 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The measured minimum at Medium is 254 FPS, indicating no risk of drops below 60 FPS at any point.

2560x1440: Ultra is the best setting, with a measured average of 200 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by 140 FPS. The Medium preset records a minimum of 227 FPS, so even the most demanding preset has no frame-time spikes that could approach the playability floor.

3840x2160: Ultra is the best setting, averaging 126 FPS. This is 66 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 180 FPS, confirming that the Ultra preset's lower average still leaves substantial margin — the data shows no minimum FPS recorded for Ultra, but the average of 126 FPS is more than double the threshold.

In all three resolutions, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice. No compromise is necessary: the hardware delivers playable frame rates at maximum visual quality across the board. Users seeking the absolute highest frame rates for competitive play or 240 Hz displays can drop to Low settings, which yields 323 FPS at 1080p, 290 FPS at 1440p, and 248 FPS at 4K — but for visual fidelity, Ultra at 4K remains the sensible default.
