Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a puzzle platformer released in 2016. Measured data shows that every resolution and preset tested exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the weakest result being 132.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. The CPU carries a launch MSRP of $249, and the GPU is a current-generation Blackwell part. This analysis walks through the measured FPS, ranking, component roles, and practical settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured average FPS spans from 132.7 to 321.9 across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 3840x2160, the averages are 142.1 FPS on High, 250.3 on Low, 226.0 on Medium, and 132.7 on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 117.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed by the highest preset. At 2560x1440, the averages are 224.6 (High), 293.0 (Low), 267.9 (Medium), and 213.5 (Ultra). The Low-to-Ultra delta here is 79.5 FPS, smaller than at 4K. At 1920x1080, the averages are 251.9 (High), 321.9 (Low), 298.1 (Medium), and 246.7 (Ultra). The delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 75.2 FPS, the smallest of the three resolutions.

These numbers show a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the absolute FPS drops, and the impact of raising settings becomes more pronounced. For example, moving from 1080p High to 4K High reduces the average from 251.9 to 142.1, a loss of 109.8 FPS. The same settings change from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra drops from 246.7 to 132.7, a loss of 114.0 FPS. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary scaling factor across resolutions, while the CPU maintains enough headroom to keep frame rates high even at 1080p Low, where the average reaches 321.9 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

Among 3,716 tested combinations, this CPU-GPU pair ranks 398th. That places it in the top 11% of all combos in the database for Inside. The CPU itself sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU at the 87th percentile among all GPUs, based on aggregate benchmark scores. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 29,879, while the GPU’s is 56,083. These percentile values suggest that both components are well above average, and the in-game rank reflects that strength.

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark score, are the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29,868, 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (29,955, -0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (29,955, -0.3%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (29,713, +0.6%). The 5800XT is effectively tied with these processors, with a maximum difference of 0.6%. The GPU’s nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon 8060S (55,757, +0.6%), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698, +0.7%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828, +2.3%), and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE (57,367, -2.2%). The RTX 5080 is within 2.3% of all these GPUs, with the RX 9070 GRE being slightly faster by 2.2%. Given these close benchmark scores, any of these alternative components would likely produce similar frame rates in Inside, though the exact in-game performance would depend on other system factors.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling reveals which component dominates at each resolution. At 1080p, the average FPS ranges from 246.7 (Ultra) to 321.9 (Low). The difference between Low and Ultra is 75.2 FPS, which is the smallest across all resolutions. This suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is not fully saturated, and the CPU’s ability to feed frames becomes relatively more important. The high absolute values—even at Ultra, 246.7 FPS—indicate that the CPU is not a limiting factor in this title. At 1440p, the Low-to-Ultra delta grows to 79.5 FPS, and at 4K it expands to 117.6 FPS. The increasing delta with resolution points to the GPU becoming the dominant constraint as pixel count rises.

The resolution scaling itself reinforces this. At High settings, the average drops from 251.9 FPS at 1080p to 224.6 at 1440p (a 27.3 FPS loss) and then to 142.1 at 4K (an 82.5 FPS loss from 1440p). The much larger drop from 1440p to 4K indicates that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are the key factors at 4K. The CPU’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz is more than sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s output, as evidenced by the fact that even at 1080p Low, the average FPS reaches 321.9, which is near the upper range of typical display refresh rates. The data does not include separate CPU or GPU utilization metrics, but the consistent high frame rates across all settings and resolutions suggest that neither component is severely bottlenecked in Inside.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset tested, and it does so with a wide margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdict data lists all four settings—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—as playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The best settings, defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains at least 60 FPS, is Ultra at all three resolutions. The average FPS at Ultra is 132.7 at 4K, 213.5 at 1440p, and 246.7 at 1080p. Even the lowest measured average, 132.7 FPS at 4K Ultra, is more than double the 60 FPS threshold. For a puzzle platformer with relatively modest graphical demands, this combination delivers an extremely smooth experience, and users can confidently enable maximum settings at any resolution without concern for frame rate drops.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on aggregate benchmark scores, several CPUs and GPUs would behave similarly to the 5800XT and RTX 5080 in Inside. The CPU’s average score of 29,879 is within 0.6% of the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (29,713) and within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and 7840HS (both 29,955). The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29,868) is essentially identical. Any of these processors would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of the 5800XT in this game, assuming the same GPU and system configuration. On the GPU side, the RTX 5080’s average score of 56,083 is within 0.7% of the AMD Radeon 8060S (55,757) and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698). The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828) is 2.3% slower, while the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE (57,367) is 2.2% faster. These GPUs would deliver comparable performance in Inside, with the RX 9070 GRE potentially offering a slight edge and the Pro W5700X a minor deficit. Users with these near-identical components can expect similar measured FPS to the values reported here.

Best Settings per Resolution

At every resolution, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra. The measured average FPS at Ultra is 246.7 at 1920x1080, 213.5 at 2560x1440, and 132.7 at 3840x2160. Since all presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at each resolution, users can choose Ultra without sacrificing frame rate. The data shows that even the heaviest settings at 4K produce an average of 132.7 FPS, which is more than double the playable threshold. For the smoothest experience, Ultra is the recommended preset at all resolutions, as it provides the highest visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS.
