Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 combination delivers playable performance in Inside at every resolution and preset tested, with the most demanding setting (Ultra) averaging 64 FPS at 4K, 101 FPS at 1440p, and 141 FPS at 1080p. The game is a 2016 puzzle platformer, and the data shows this PC runs it far above the 60 FPS threshold even at 4K Ultra, making it a strong fit for high-refresh monitors or 4K displays.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have close rivals that would behave nearly identically in Inside.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, the nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, with an average benchmark score of 29,868 versus the 5800XT's 29,879 — a delta of 0%. Swapping to that mobile chip would yield essentially the same frame rates. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29,955, which puts them 0.3% ahead of the 5800XT; that difference is negligible in a game like Inside. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X trails by 0.6% (score 29,713), so it would also be indistinguishable in practice. All four alternatives sit within a 0.6% band of the 5800XT's average score, meaning any of them would produce the same measured FPS in this title.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 has an average benchmark score of 21,035. The closest rival is the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL at 21,153, which is 0.6% faster. The AMD Radeon HD 8970M (21,237) is 1% faster, and the NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile (21,379) is 1.6% faster. The only rival that the RTX 5050 beats is the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (20,713), where the 5050 is 1.6% faster. These deltas are all under 2%, so any of these GPUs would deliver frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 5050 in Inside. Because the game is not graphically demanding, even a slightly slower GPU would still hold 60 FPS at 4K Ultra, based on the 64 FPS average recorded here.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the primary scaling factor across resolutions, while the CPU's role is secondary in Inside. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 296 FPS; at 4K Low, it drops to 134 FPS. That is a 55% reduction in frame rate when resolution increases from 1080p to 4K at the same preset, which is typical of GPU-bound workloads. The same pattern appears at Ultra: 141 FPS at 1080p falls to 64 FPS at 4K, a 55% drop. The consistent scaling with resolution indicates that the RTX 5050 is the bottleneck at higher pixel counts, not the CPU.

The CPU's contribution is less visible because even at the lowest resolution and preset, the game runs at 296 FPS — far beyond any display's refresh rate and well above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,359) is more than adequate for a puzzle platformer, which typically relies on a few threads. Its multi-thread score of 23,794 is also high, but Inside is unlikely to use all 8 cores and 16 threads. The fact that frame rates scale almost entirely with resolution and preset suggests that the GPU dictates performance, while the CPU simply keeps up without limiting. At 1080p Low, the 296 FPS figure is likely near the engine's or CPU's ceiling, but it still leaves enormous headroom.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra at every resolution, according to the measured data.

• 3840x2160 (4K): Ultra averages 64 FPS. Medium averages 107 FPS with a minimum of 91 FPS, and High averages 67 FPS. Low averages 134 FPS. Ultra is the best playable setting, and it clears the 60 FPS bar by a narrow 4 FPS margin.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra averages 101 FPS. Medium averages 170 FPS (min 145), High averages 106 FPS, and Low averages 213 FPS. Ultra is the best setting, with a comfortable 41 FPS buffer above 60.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra averages 141 FPS. Medium averages 237 FPS (min 201), High averages 148 FPS, and Low averages 296 FPS. Ultra is the best setting, and it provides more than double the 60 FPS requirement.

In all cases, the minimum FPS for Medium (the only preset with recorded min values) stays well above 60: 91 FPS at 4K, 145 FPS at 1440p, and 201 FPS at 1080p. While Ultra lacks a min-FPS measurement, its average is above 60 at 4K and far above at lower resolutions, so it is safe to consider Ultra the recommended setting.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra averaging 64 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 101 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 141 FPS. Every preset at every resolution exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. The only borderline case is 4K Ultra, which sits at 64 FPS — still playable, but with less headroom than the lower resolutions. For a puzzle platformer with no competitive multiplayer demands, 64 FPS is smooth, and the game will feel fluid. If you prefer a higher safety margin, dropping to 4K High (67 FPS) or Medium (107 FPS) is an option, but it is not necessary for playability. At 1440p and 1080p, there is no reason to lower settings; Ultra delivers excellent frame rates.

FAQ

Q: What is the best settings preset for 4K on this combo?

A: Ultra is the best playable preset at 3840x2160, averaging 64 FPS. Medium and High also work, but Ultra offers the highest visual quality while staying above 60 FPS.

*Q: Does the CPU or GPU limit performance in Inside?*

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. Frame rates scale almost linearly with resolution (e.g., 141 FPS at 1080p Ultra drops to 64 FPS at 4K Ultra), which indicates GPU-bound behavior. The CPU's single-thread score of 3,359 in Cinebench R23 is more than enough for this game.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p with Low settings?

A: 296 FPS on average. That is the highest measured result for this combo, and it far exceeds any display's refresh rate.

Q: Is there any preset that drops below 60 FPS?

A: No. All presets at all three resolutions stay at or above 64 FPS (the lowest average is 4K Ultra). The minimum FPS recorded for Medium presets is 91 FPS at 4K, 145 FPS at 1440p, and 201 FPS at 1080p.

*Q: How does this combo compare to other tested systems in Inside?*

A: It ranks 2,247 out of 3,716 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier. That means many other configurations deliver higher frame rates, but the combo still easily meets the 60 FPS playable threshold at all settings.

Q: What is the highest resolution and preset that maintains 60 FPS?

A: 4K Ultra averages 64 FPS, so it is the most demanding configuration that still clears 60 FPS. Lower resolutions or lower presets all exceed 60 FPS with more headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

Among 3,716 tested CPU-GPU combinations in Inside, this pairing ranks 2,247th. That places it in the 40th percentile — better than roughly 1,469 combos, but worse than 2,246 others. The rank reflects the fact that the RTX 5050 is a mid-range GPU (66th percentile among all GPUs) and the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a strong CPU (81st percentile among all CPUs). The game is not demanding, so even this mid-tier GPU delivers high frame rates, but many faster GPUs (e.g., those with higher Passmark G3D scores) would push frame rates even higher. The 64 FPS at 4K Ultra is the key number: it is playable, but it leaves little room for other demanding games. For Inside specifically, the combo is more than sufficient, and the rank confirms that it sits comfortably above the playable threshold across all tested settings.
