Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers overwhelming performance in Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. Benchmark data shows this combination is capable of running the game at maximum settings across all tested resolutions, with average frame rates that are multiple times higher than the 60 FPS playability threshold. While the game itself is not graphically demanding by modern standards, the data confirms that this hardware combo leaves no performance headroom concerns for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the benchmark results show exceptional performance across every settings preset. The Low preset produces an average of 323 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded for this combination at any resolution. Moving up to Medium settings, the average drops slightly to 299 FPS, with minimum and maximum readings of 254 FPS and 343 FPS respectively. The High preset yields 245 FPS average, while the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding configuration tested, still maintains an average of 234 FPS. Even at the lowest recorded minimum of 254 FPS on Medium settings, the frame rate remains over four times higher than the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains extremely high but shows a predictable scaling pattern from the 1080p results. The Low preset averages 290 FPS, which represents a roughly 10% reduction from the 1080p Low result. Medium settings produce 267 FPS average, with minimum and maximum figures of 227 FPS and 308 FPS. The High preset delivers 176 FPS average, while Ultra settings maintain a robust 168 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is approximately 42%, which is slightly narrower than the 27% gap observed at 1080p, indicating that the GPU begins to show some scaling efficiency as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5070 still delivers frame rates that are far beyond what the game requires. The Low preset achieves 222 FPS average, which is still nearly four times the playability threshold. Medium settings produce 177 FPS average, with a minimum of 151 FPS and maximum of 204 FPS. The High preset drops to 111 FPS average, while Ultra settings maintain 106 FPS average. Notably, the Ultra preset at 4K shows only a 4.5% reduction in frame rate compared to the High preset, suggesting that the additional graphical effects in Ultra are not particularly taxing for this GPU at this resolution. The minimum FPS recorded across all 4K tests is 151 FPS on Medium settings, which still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin.

The overall pattern across all resolutions shows that Inside is not a demanding title for this hardware. The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 1440p averages about 15-20% performance reduction, while scaling from 1440p to 4K averages an additional 30-40% reduction. These numbers indicate that the GPU is the primary scaling factor at higher resolutions, but the absolute performance levels remain exceptionally high throughout.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data from this benchmark reveals that the CPU plays a minimal role in determining performance for Inside, while the GPU is the dominant factor in frame rate scaling. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, provides more than enough processing power for this puzzle platformer. The CPU's benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23794 and a single-core score of 3359, place it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs, indicating substantial headroom for this workload.

The GPU's role becomes apparent when examining performance scaling across resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is approximately 27%, while at 1440p this gap widens to 42%, and at 4K it reaches 52%. This increasing spread with higher resolutions is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance. The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth allow it to handle the higher memory pressure of 4K resolution without significant bottlenecks, as evidenced by the still-exceptional frame rates at 3840x2160.

The scaling between resolutions provides further insight into component roles. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS reduction across all settings is roughly 15-20%, while from 1440p to 4K, the reduction is approximately 30-40%. This nonlinear scaling indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, but even at 4K, the RTX 5070 operates well within its capabilities. The CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p Low settings, where the 323 FPS average suggests that frame generation is not constrained by processor performance.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside, and the data shows it does so with exceptional headroom at every resolution and settings combination tested. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four settings presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at every resolution, with the 60 FPS threshold cleared by a wide margin in all cases.

At 3840x2160, the best playable settings are Ultra with an average of 106 FPS. This is the most demanding configuration in the entire test suite, yet it still delivers nearly double the playability threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings achieve 168 FPS average, which is nearly three times the threshold. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings produce 234 FPS average, nearly four times the threshold.

The minimum FPS figures reinforce this verdict. The lowest recorded minimum is 151 FPS at 4K Medium settings, which is still 2.5 times higher than the 60 FPS playability threshold. No configuration tested in the benchmark data comes close to dipping below 60 FPS, making this combination effectively overkill for Inside. Players can enable maximum graphical settings without any concern for performance degradation.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 234 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available in the benchmark, and it performs exceptionally well at this resolution. The frame rate is nearly four times the playability threshold, leaving substantial headroom for any potential gameplay variations.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings again provide the best visual experience while maintaining 168 FPS average. This represents a 28% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result, but the absolute performance remains far above the 60 FPS requirement. The High preset at this resolution offers 176 FPS, which is only marginally better than Ultra, suggesting that the visual upgrade from High to Ultra is not particularly expensive in performance terms.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings deliver 106 FPS average, which comfortably clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding configuration tested, and it still provides nearly double the required frame rate. The data shows that even at 4K, there is no need to compromise on visual quality for this game. The Medium preset at 4K achieves 177 FPS, but this is unnecessary given the Ultra preset's strong performance.
