Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearestRivals data, several components offer similar benchmark performance to the CPU and GPU in this combo.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, the closest alternatives are the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, with a deltaPct of 0 and an average score of 29868, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, which is 0.6% faster with a score of 29713. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS are both 0.3% slower, with average scores of 29955. These CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, as the game is not heavily multi-threaded.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, the nearest rival is the Intel Arc Pro A60, which has a deltaPct of 0 and an average score of 60326. Other close alternatives include the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (0.3% slower, score 60140) and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (2.5% slower, score 61896). The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is 2.9% faster with a score of 58657. In practice, any of these GPUs would deliver similar, extremely high frame rates in Inside, given the game's modest graphical demands.

Since the measured FPS for this combo is so high, users with these alternative components should expect comparable performance, with variations of only a few frames per second at most.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the primary performance driver in Inside, but the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT provides more than enough headroom. The game's frame rates scale significantly with resolution changes, which points to GPU-bound behavior.

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 321.5 (Low) to 247.5 (Ultra). At 2560x1440, the range is 292.9 (Low) to 218.9 (Ultra). At 3840x2160, the range is 249 (Low) to 140.9 (Ultra). The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, with Ultra settings seeing a 43% reduction in average FPS (from 247.5 to 140.9). This scaling pattern is typical of GPU-limited scenarios, where the load on the graphics card increases with pixel count.

The CPU's role is less critical here. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23794 and a single-core score of 3359. The single-threaded performance is more relevant for Inside, and the 959 score in 3dmark_single_thread suggests strong per-core capability. However, the fact that the FPS remains above 140 even at 4K Ultra shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any tested setting.

The difference between Low and High settings at a given resolution is relatively small, especially at 1080p (321.5 FPS vs 247.6 FPS). This suggests that the game's graphical presets have a moderate impact on GPU load, but the RTX 4090 handles all of them with ease. The renderer is clearly optimized for high performance, and the component roles are straightforward: the GPU scales with resolution and settings, while the CPU provides stable, high-throughput frame delivery.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside flawlessly. The verdictByResolution data lists all tested settings as playable at every resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system achieves an average of 145.7 FPS on High, 249 FPS on Low, 228.8 FPS on Medium, and 140.9 FPS on Ultra. All of these are well above the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings for 4K are Ultra, with an average of 140.9 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the results are even higher. High averages 224 FPS, Low averages 292.9 FPS, Medium averages 266.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 218.9 FPS. The best settings for 1440p are Ultra, with an average of 218.9 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the system is effectively uncapped. High averages 247.6 FPS, Low averages 321.5 FPS, Medium averages 300.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 247.5 FPS. The best settings for 1080p are Ultra, with an average of 247.5 FPS.

Ultimately, the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin in every scenario. Users can max out all settings at any resolution without any risk of frame rate drops below playable levels.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all combinations of resolution and settings.

3840x2160:

• High: average FPS 145.7
• Low: average FPS 249
• Medium: average FPS 228.8
• Ultra: average FPS 140.9

2560x1440:

• High: average FPS 224
• Low: average FPS 292.9
• Medium: average FPS 266.5
• Ultra: average FPS 218.9

1920x1080:

• High: average FPS 247.6
• Low: average FPS 321.5
• Medium: average FPS 300.7
• Ultra: average FPS 247.5

The data shows a clear pattern: reducing resolution increases FPS, and reducing settings from Ultra to Low also increases FPS. The most demanding configuration (4K Ultra) still produces 140.9 FPS, while the least demanding (1080p Low) produces 321.5 FPS. The gap between Ultra and High is small, typically around 5-10 FPS, while the jump from High to Medium is larger, and the jump to Low is the most significant. Min and max FPS values are not provided in the data, so only average frame rates are analyzed here.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average FPS at or above 60.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 140.9. This is the highest quality preset available, and it comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average FPS of 218.9. The performance headroom at this resolution is enormous, allowing for maximum visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra as well, with an average FPS of 247.5. This configuration delivers the highest frame rates while still using the most demanding graphical options.

In summary, the RTX 4090 is so powerful that the most demanding preset at each resolution is always the recommended choice. There is no scenario where a user would need to lower settings to achieve playable performance, as even the weakest configuration (4K Ultra) is more than double the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination ranks 381 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the top 10.3% of all systems benchmarked for this game.

This high rank is expected given the components' individual standings. The CPU is in the 81st percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. The combo's rank of 381 suggests that while there are 380 faster systems, the vast majority of configurations (3335 combos) perform worse in this specific game.

The rank reflects the extreme performance ceiling of this hardware. Since the game is not particularly demanding, the FPS is likely capped by the engine's frame rate limit or the CPU's single-threaded performance in certain scenarios. However, with an average of 140.9 FPS at 4K Ultra, this combo is firmly in the top tier of systems capable of running Inside. Users with this setup will experience buttery-smooth gameplay with no compromises in visual quality.
