Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, clearing the 60 FPS threshold with substantial headroom at every tested resolution and preset. At 4K, the combo achieves a playable average of 76.9 FPS on Ultra settings, while at 1080p it scales to 170.9 FPS on the same preset. This is a system that not only runs the game but dominates it, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays even at maximum graphical fidelity.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data indicates that this combo can run Inside at its highest visual quality across all tested resolutions without dropping below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

• 3840x2160 (4K): The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 76.9 FPS. This is the maximum preset available, and it still leaves a 16.9 FPS buffer above the playable threshold. The High preset runs at 82.6 FPS, and Medium at 124.6 FPS, but Ultra is the optimal choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

• 2560x1440 (1440p): At this resolution, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 120.3 FPS. This is more than double the 60 FPS requirement, providing a very fluid experience. Lower presets like High (129.4 FPS) and Medium (204 FPS) offer even higher frame rates but with diminishing visual returns, making Ultra the clear recommendation.

• 1920x1080 (1080p): The Ultra preset achieves an average of 170.9 FPS, making it the best setting for this resolution. This frame rate is well-suited for 144Hz or even 165Hz monitors. The Low preset reaches 355 FPS, but Ultra remains the recommended setting as it provides a perfect balance of visual quality and speed.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal a clear scaling pattern that indicates the GPU is the primary performance driver for Inside, though the CPU provides a robust foundation.

Looking at the 4K results, the frame rate drops from 160.7 FPS on Low to 76.9 FPS on Ultra, a decline of 52.1%. This significant reduction with increased graphical load demonstrates that the RTX 5060 is the bottleneck at this resolution, as raising the preset increases the GPU's workload substantially. The CPU's role at 4K is secondary; even at Low settings, the frame rate of 160.7 FPS is limited by the GPU's ability to render frames, not the processor's ability to feed it.

At 1440p, the pattern is similar. The Low preset runs at 250.9 FPS, while Ultra drops to 120.3 FPS. This 52% reduction again points to the GPU being the limiting factor. However, the high frame rates at lower presets suggest the Ryzen 7 7700 is more than capable of keeping up with the GPU's output, preventing any CPU-induced stalls.

The 1080p results are the most revealing. Here, the Low preset hits 355 FPS, a figure that is likely approaching the CPU's maximum frame generation capacity for this game engine. The Ultra preset still manages 170.9 FPS. The gap between presets is large (184.1 FPS), but the absolute numbers show that the CPU can push frame rates that far exceed the GPU's capability at higher settings. In this scenario, the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking, but the GPU is unquestionably the component that determines playable quality settings.

Across all resolutions, the scaling from Low to Ultra is dominated by GPU workload. The CPU, with its high single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1930) and multi-thread capability (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18760), ensures that even at 355 FPS, the game logic and physics are processed without frame drops.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ranks 1519th out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the top 40.9% of all systems in the database.

This ranking is strong for a mainstream mid-range pairing. The GPU's percentile of 72 (higher than 72% of all GPUs) and the CPU's percentile of 87 (higher than 87% of all CPUs) both contribute to this solid position. The measured frame rates are consistently high, which is reflected in the ranking.

In the context of the GPU's nearest rivals, the RTX 5060's average benchmark score of 26331 is competitive. It trails the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary by 0.8% but leads the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT by 1.2%. The CPU, with an average benchmark score of 40081, is nearly identical in performance to the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.1% ahead) and the Intel Core 5 221E (0.2% behind). This suggests that the combo's ranking is more a function of the game's relatively low system requirements than any weakness in the hardware.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K resolution?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160, the combo achieves 76.9 FPS on Ultra settings, 82.6 FPS on High, 124.6 FPS on Medium, and 160.7 FPS on Low. All presets are above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the highest preset that maintains above 60 FPS at 1440p?

A: The Ultra preset runs at 120.3 FPS at 2560x1440. This is the highest quality setting and it provides more than double the required frame rate for smooth gameplay.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

| 3840x2160 | Low | 160.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 124.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 76.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 129.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 250.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 204 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 120.3 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 176.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 355 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 283.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 170.9 |

The data shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern. At every resolution, the frame rate decreases as the preset quality increases from Low to Medium to High to Ultra. The largest single drop occurs between Low and Medium presets, indicating a substantial increase in GPU workload at that step. The gap between High and Ultra is smaller, suggesting that the Ultra preset adds less relative stress than the jump from Low to Medium.

The Verdict

The verdict is unambiguous: this PC can run Inside exceptionally well at all tested resolutions and settings. The verdictByResolution data confirms that every single preset at every resolution is playable, with no exceptions.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Ultra with an average of 76.9 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin, making 4K gaming a fully viable option with maximum graphical quality.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is again the best choice, delivering 120.3 FPS. This provides a high-refresh-rate experience at a common gaming resolution, with more than enough performance headroom.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset runs at 170.9 FPS. This frame rate is ideal for competitive or high-refresh-rate gaming, ensuring that the display's refresh rate is fully utilized without any compromises to visual settings.

The data indicates that this combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is overqualified for Inside. The game, a puzzle platformer released in 2016, presents minimal performance challenges to this hardware. The only potential limitation is the absence of minimum FPS data, but the average frame rates are so far above the threshold that stuttering is unlikely. The system is not just capable of running the game; it is capable of running it at maximum settings with frame rates that would be considered excellent even for modern, more demanding titles.
