Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers overwhelming performance in Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. Across all tested resolutions and presets, the combination never dips below 153 FPS average, placing it far beyond the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data shows a system with massive headroom, where even the most demanding settings at 4K leave the hardware largely unstrained.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combo starts at 323 FPS average on Low, drops to 299 FPS on Medium, 249 FPS on High, and 245 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset includes a minimum of 254 FPS and a maximum of 343 FPS, indicating that even the lowest recorded frame is more than four times the playable threshold. The gap between High and Ultra is minimal — only 4 FPS — suggesting that at 1080p, the game's Ultra settings do not introduce a significant additional load over High.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales predictably. Low settings average 290 FPS, Medium averages 267 FPS with a minimum of 227 and maximum of 308, High averages 223 FPS, and Ultra averages 219 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 71 FPS, a substantial drop but one that leaves the system with enormous spare capacity. The difference between High and Ultra is again small at 4 FPS, reinforcing that the Ultra preset is not a major step up from High in terms of frame cost. The minimum FPS at Medium, 227, still sits more than 3.7 times above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the averages remain exceptionally high. Low settings produce 248 FPS, Medium drops to 229 FPS with a minimum of 195 and maximum of 263, High reaches 160 FPS, and Ultra sits at 153 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 95 FPS, the largest spread across any resolution. Notably, the step from Medium to High costs 69 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs only 7 FPS. This suggests that the High preset represents a significant quality jump over Medium, but Ultra is a marginal addition. Even the lowest minimum recorded anywhere in the data — 195 FPS at 4K Medium — is more than triple the required 60 FPS.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates this system runs Inside with extraordinary headroom. At 1920x1080, the Ultra setting averages 245 FPS, which is 185 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The High, Medium, and Low presets all exceed 245 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 219 FPS, again clearing 60 FPS by 159 FPS. All four presets at this resolution are above 200 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra still averages 153 FPS, which is 93 FPS above the threshold. The verdictByResolution data lists all settings — High, Low, Medium, Ultimate — as playable at each resolution. There is no scenario in the measured data where the system dips below 153 FPS average, and the minimum FPS recorded in any Medium preset is 195 FPS at 4K. The system has no problem maintaining 60 FPS at any resolution or preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

For a 60 FPS target, the optimal setting is the most demanding preset that stays above that threshold. The data shows that even the Ultra preset remains far above 60 FPS at every resolution.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 153 FPS. This is the maximum quality option tested and it clears the threshold by 93 FPS. There is no higher preset in the data to recommend.

At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 219 FPS. The gap to 60 FPS is 159 FPS. Again, this is the highest preset available.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 245 FPS. The gap is 185 FPS. The Ultra setting at 1080p produces the highest absolute frame rate among all Ultra measurements.

All three resolutions can run at Ultra settings while maintaining a margin of at least 93 FPS over the 60 FPS threshold. The average FPS numbers for the best settings per resolution are 153 FPS (4K), 219 FPS (1440p), and 245 FPS (1080p).

The combined rank of 358 out of 3,716 indicates that while the hardware is strong, other combinations in the database achieve higher frame rates, likely due to even more powerful CPUs or GPUs that edge ahead in Inside's particular workload. The gap between this combo and the top-ranked systems is not detailed in the data, but the 358 rank versus the total of 3,716 confirms the system belongs in the upper percentile of performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Inside. The game is a Puzzle Platformer that is not visually demanding, but the data shows a distinct GPU-bound behavior.

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 323 (Low) to 245 (Ultra). The difference from Low to Ultra is 78 FPS, a 24% drop. The CPU is the bottleneck at this resolution, as the GPU is overprovisioned for the low render load. The fact that the High preset (249 FPS) is very close to the Ultra preset (245 FPS) suggests that the CPU is holding the system back from reaching even higher frame rates. The GPU has more headroom but is limited by the CPU's ability to feed it with frames.

At 2560x1440, the range is 290 (Low) to 219 (Ultra), a drop of 71 FPS (24.5%). The increased resolution puts more load on the GPU, but the system still delivers over 200 FPS on all presets. The CPU no longer has to be the bottleneck at this resolution; the GPU is starting to do more work, but the overall frame rates are still limited by the rendering engine. The data shows that the GPU scaling between Low and Ultra is more pronounced than the CPU scaling, indicating that the GPU is becoming the primary constraint.

At 3840x2160, the range is 248 (Low) to 153 (Ultra), a drop of 95 FPS (38.3%). This is the largest absolute gap. The GPU is now the clear bottleneck. The step from Medium (229 FPS) to High (160 FPS) is a 69 FPS drop, which is the largest single preset jump across all resolutions. This indicates that the High preset at 4K is where the GPU starts to feel the load. The margin from High to Ultra (153 FPS) is only 7 FPS, suggesting that the GPU is primarily limited by the High preset's shading and texture work, not the Ultra overlay.

The scaling between resolutions at the same preset shows the GPU role more clearly. At Ultra, the FPS goes from 245 at 1080p to 219 at 1440p (a 10.6% drop) to 153 at 4K (a 30.1% drop from 1440p). At Low, the FPS goes from 323 at 1080p to 290 at 1440p (10.2% drop) to 248 at 4K (14.5% drop). The CPU is likely the limiting factor at 1080p, where the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. In summary, the CPU is only mildly taxed by the game, even at 1080p, and the GPU’s performance is the dominant factor as resolution increases. The system has a substantial amount of both CPU and GPU headroom, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint only at 4K with the highest presets.
