Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a thoroughly playable experience for Inside across all tested resolutions, with the data showing that the game's modest engine requirements allow this mid-range GPU to push high frame rates even at 4K. Benchmark results indicate the combo is well-suited for this puzzle platformer, though the highest settings at 2160p will strain the system slightly below the 60 FPS threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data shows a clear performance hierarchy across the four quality presets. Low settings produce an average of 108 FPS, which is comfortably above the playable threshold. Medium settings average 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS, indicating smooth frame pacing with no significant dips. High settings drop to an average of 54 FPS, falling short of the 60 FPS target. Ultra settings are the most demanding, averaging 52 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is substantial, representing a 33 FPS difference that suggests a major rendering cost increase between these presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance picture improves considerably. Low settings average 172 FPS, nearly doubling the already high 4K Low result. Medium settings average 138 FPS with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS, showing exceptional consistency. High settings hold at 86 FPS, and even Ultra manages an 82 FPS average. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS bar with headroom, and the gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 4 FPS compared to the 2 FPS gap at 4K.

At 1920x1080, the combination becomes extremely fast. Low settings hit an average of 240 FPS, which is effectively the ceiling for many displays. Medium settings average 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 221 FPS, ensuring that even the slowest frames exceed most high-refresh-rate monitors. High settings average 120 FPS, and Ultra maintains a strong 114 FPS average. The resolution scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows roughly a 28-30% reduction in average FPS across presets, while scaling from 1440p to 4K produces a larger drop of approximately 37-38%, indicating that pixel count is the dominant factor at the higher end.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 2983 out of 3716 tested configurations for Inside, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. This ranking reflects the fact that Inside is a lightweight title by modern standards, so even modest hardware can achieve high frame rates, and many higher-end combinations simply saturate the engine's limits. The percentile position is not a criticism of the hardware; rather, it shows that this pairing is more than adequate for the game's demands.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Intel Core i7-13650HX, both with an average score delta of 0%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX also at 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H trails by 0.4%. These near-identical scores indicate that the 7800X3D is in a performance tier where CPU differences will not meaningfully affect Inside's frame rates, as the game is not CPU-bound at the tested settings. The GPU sits near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile with a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Arc A750 at -0.1%, and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 0.4%, putting the B570 in a competitive mid-range bracket that is more than sufficient for this title.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K with the Medium preset?*

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with Medium settings is 87 FPS, with a minimum of 74 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with comfortable margin.

Q: What is the best preset at 1440p for this combination?

A: Ultra is the best playable preset at 2560x1440, delivering an average of 82 FPS. All four presets at this resolution are above 60 FPS, so the Ultra preset is fully viable.

Q: How does the 1080p Medium preset compare to the 4K Medium preset?

A: At 1920x1080, Medium averages 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS and maximum of 221 FPS. At 3840x2160, Medium averages 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and maximum of 100 FPS. The 1080p result is roughly 2.2 times faster.

Q: Is the Ultra preset playable at any resolution?

A: Yes, at 2560x1440 the Ultra preset averages 82 FPS, and at 1920x1080 it averages 114 FPS. However, at 3840x2160 the Ultra preset averages 52 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the only resolution where this combo fails to maintain 60 FPS on all presets?

A: At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 54 FPS and the Ultra preset averages 52 FPS, both below the playable threshold. Low and Medium are the only playable presets at this resolution.

Q: Does the 7800X3D bottleneck the Arc B570 in this game?

A: No. The benchmark data shows that frame rates scale primarily with resolution and preset, not with CPU load. Given that the CPU's nearest rivals are within 0.4% in average score, the processor is not a limiting factor for Inside.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at all three tested resolutions, but with caveats at 4K. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best option at an average of 87 FPS. The High and Ultra presets at 4K both fall below 60 FPS, averaging 54 FPS and 52 FPS respectively. At 2560x1440, the verdict is fully positive: High, Low, Medium, and Ultra all clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 82 FPS. At 1920x1080, the same holds true, with Ultra averaging 114 FPS and even Low reaching 240 FPS. The practical takeaway is that for 4K gaming, users should stick to Medium or lower, while for 1440p and 1080p, the Ultra preset is entirely usable. The data indicates that this is a very capable pairing for Inside, especially for users with 1440p or 1080p displays.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rate in Inside for this combination. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces average FPS by roughly 28-30% across presets, and moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 reduces it by roughly 37-38%. This consistent pixel-count-driven decline points to the Arc B570's rendering throughput as the bottleneck, not the CPU. The 7800X3D's 3D V-Cache and eight cores are far more than this game requires; the CPU's benchmark scores place it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are within 0.4% in average score, so any modern mid-range to high-end processor would likely produce identical frame rates. The GPU, meanwhile, sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, and its performance relative to rivals like the RTX 3070 Mobile and Arc A750 suggests that B570's memory bandwidth and shading throughput are the limiting factors at higher resolutions. The game's genre likely means limited draw calls and simple geometry, allowing the CPU to stay ahead of the GPU's demands even at Low settings, where the 240 FPS result at 1080p shows the GPU can saturate most display refresh rates without any CPU-induced stutter.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which averages 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 4K, as it provides a significant visual upgrade over Low while maintaining a high average frame rate. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 82 FPS. All four presets are playable here, so there is no reason to sacrifice visual quality; the 82 FPS average leaves ample headroom for demanding scenes. At 1920x1080, Ultra is also the best preset, averaging 114 FPS. Even the minimum frame rate at Medium (163 FPS) exceeds the average of most other titles, so users with high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors can confidently enable Ultra and still enjoy a smooth experience. The data suggests that for 1440p and 1080p, the Ultra preset is the default recommendation, while 4K users should select Medium to stay safely above the 60 FPS threshold.
