Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. The measured data shows this combination handles the game with significant headroom across all tested resolutions and presets, with the lowest average frame rate recorded at 76 FPS in the most demanding scenario. The benchmark results indicate a system that is not merely playable but overwhelmingly capable, positioning it in the 1632nd rank out of 3716 tested combos, placing it in the upper half of all configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern: performance scales predictably with resolution and preset level, with the system never dropping below the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 323 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 284 FPS with a minimum of 242 FPS and a maximum of 327 FPS. The High preset averages 178 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 169 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the CPU and GPU combination is largely unconstrained, delivering frame rates that far exceed typical display refresh rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust but shows the expected scaling from the lower resolution. The Low preset averages 255 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 204 FPS with a minimum of 174 FPS and a maximum of 235 FPS. The High preset averages 128 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 122 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a performance drop of roughly 20-30% across presets, which is a moderate reduction given the increased pixel count. The system still maintains substantial headroom over the 60 FPS target.

At 3840x2160, the data shows the most demanding scenario tested. The Low preset averages 161 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 FPS and a maximum of 148 FPS. The High preset averages 80 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 76 FPS. Even at 4K with the Ultra preset, the average frame rate of 76 FPS sits comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from 1440p to 2160p shows a reduction of approximately 35-40% across presets, which is consistent with the doubling of pixel count from 3.7 million to 8.3 million.

The minimum FPS data, available only for the Medium preset at each resolution, shows that frame pacing remains stable. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 242 FPS is only 42 FPS below the average of 284 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 174 FPS is 30 FPS below the average of 204 FPS. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 109 FPS is 19 FPS below the average of 128 FPS. This data suggests that the system maintains consistent performance without significant frame time spikes, even in more demanding scenes.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 169 FPS, making it the best settings choice. This provides maximum visual quality while maintaining a frame rate that is nearly three times the playable threshold. The High preset at 178 FPS offers a marginal improvement in frame rate but sacrifices visual fidelity for a performance gain that is unlikely to be perceptible on most displays.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again emerges as the best settings option, with an average of 122 FPS. This represents a 27% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result, but still leaves substantial headroom. The High preset at 128 FPS is nearly identical in performance, differing by only 6 FPS, which is within the margin of run-to-run variance. For users prioritizing visual quality, Ultra at 1440p is the clear recommendation.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 76 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding scenario in the dataset, and the system handles it with a 16 FPS margin over the playable threshold. The High preset at 80 FPS offers a small performance advantage, but the Ultra preset provides the best visual experience while still maintaining a playable frame rate. The data shows that all four presets at 4K clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Low averaging 161 FPS, Medium averaging 128 FPS, and High averaging 80 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ranks 1632 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places the system in the 56th percentile of all configurations, meaning it outperforms a majority of tested hardware combinations. The rank reflects the system's ability to maintain high frame rates across all resolutions and presets, though the game's age and relatively modest graphical demands mean that even mid-range hardware can achieve playable performance.

The CPU alone sits in the 81st percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29879. The GPU is in the 72nd percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26331. The combination of a high-percentile CPU and a slightly lower-percentile GPU results in a system that is well-balanced for this title, where the CPU's strong single-thread performance and the GPU's ample rasterization power both contribute to the high frame rates observed. The combo rank of 1632 suggests that while many systems can run Inside, this particular pairing is among the more capable configurations, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become relevant.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside with exceptional performance at all tested resolutions and presets. The verdict by resolution confirms that all three resolutions — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — have all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) classified as playable, with the best settings being Ultra at each resolution. The average FPS at Ultra is 169 at 1080p, 122 at 1440p, and 76 at 4K. This means users can max out the game's visual settings at any resolution and still maintain frame rates well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

The system's performance headroom is substantial. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 169 FPS, which is 109 FPS above the playable threshold. At 1440p, the margin is 62 FPS. At 4K, the margin narrows to 16 FPS, but 76 FPS still provides a smooth experience for a puzzle platformer. For users with high refresh rate monitors, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 323 FPS, which is suitable for 240Hz or 300Hz displays. The data indicates that this combination is not merely adequate for Inside; it is overkill for the game's requirements, providing performance that will remain playable even if future patches or mods increase the graphical demands.

CPU and GPU Roles

The relative contribution of the CPU and GPU to performance in Inside can be inferred from the scaling between resolutions and presets. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, provides strong single-thread performance as evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 959. The GPU, with 3840 shading units and a boost clock of 2497 MHz, delivers substantial rasterization throughput. The performance scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows an average frame rate reduction of approximately 25-30% across presets, while the scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a reduction of approximately 35-40%. This increasing performance penalty at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count rises.

At 1080p, the system's frame rates are so high that neither component is likely to be a limiting factor. The 323 FPS at Low settings suggests that the CPU's game logic processing and the GPU's rendering are both well below their limits. At 1440p, the GPU begins to exert more influence, as evidenced by the drop from 255 FPS at Low to 122 FPS at Ultra. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor, with the Ultra preset at 76 FPS representing a 76% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result of 169 FPS. The CPU's role remains consistent across resolutions, as the game's logic and physics calculations do not scale with resolution, while the GPU's workload increases with pixel count. The data suggests that for Inside, the GPU is the more important component for achieving high frame rates at higher resolutions, while the CPU's strong single-thread performance ensures smooth frame pacing and consistent minimum FPS.
