Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016-07-06. Benchmark data shows this pairing achieves frame rates far exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested, from 96.8 FPS at 4K Ultra to 346.7 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured results indicate a system with significant headroom, making it far more capable than required for this title's modest graphical demands.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D sits in a tight performance cluster according to average benchmark scores. Its avgBenchmarkScore of 33079 places it within 0.4% of three direct rivals. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Intel Core i7-13650HX both match with avgScore of 33089, showing a deltaPct of 0. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX also ties at 33091, again with 0% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H trails slightly at 33201, representing a -0.4% delta. For Inside, any of these CPUs would deliver virtually identical gameplay experiences, as the title's frame rates are not constrained by processor throughput at these performance levels.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 posts an avgBenchmarkScore of 37648, placing it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla P4, scores 37628 with a 0.1% delta, meaning the two are statistically indistinguishable in synthetic benchmarks. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 comes close at 37507, showing a 0.4% delta. Interestingly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile actually scores higher at 38135, representing a -1.3% delta from the desktop RTX 4070, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 trails at 37157 with a 1.3% delta. For Inside specifically, the RTX 4070's measured FPS data shows it dominates the game, so any of these rival GPUs would likely still provide smooth gameplay, though the RTX 4070's advantage becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions where GPU load increases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that Inside scales dramatically with resolution and settings, indicating a strong GPU dependency rather than CPU limitation. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 83 and its substantial multi-threaded scores (3dmark_max_threads: 7967, cinebench_r23_multicore: 16817) suggest it is far from being a bottleneck in this title. At 1080p, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor—dropping from Ultra to Low settings increases average FPS from 231.9 to 346.7, a jump of nearly 50%. This scaling pattern persists across all resolutions.

The resolution scaling further confirms GPU-bound behavior. At High settings, moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces average FPS from 231.9 to 165.7, a 28.5% decrease. Stepping up to 3840x2160 High drops performance further to 102.6 FPS, representing another 38.1% reduction. This consistent degradation with pixel count is characteristic of a GPU-limited workload. The CPU's role remains constant across these scenarios, yet frame rates change substantially, proving that the RTX 4070's rendering throughput—not the 7800X3D's processing power—determines the final FPS. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU works hardest, the 96.8 FPS result shows the CPU still feeds frames fast enough to avoid becoming the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 produces extraordinary frame rates. Low settings yield 346.7 FPS average, Medium delivers 319.6 FPS, High reaches 231.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 219.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 127.2 FPS, demonstrating how much headroom exists even at the most demanding preset. The transition from Medium to High causes the largest single-step drop of 87.7 FPS, suggesting a significant graphical feature is enabled at the High tier.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptionally high. Low settings produce 309.4 FPS, Medium achieves 266.4 FPS, High drops to 165.7 FPS, and Ultra sustains 155.5 FPS. The relative scaling mirrors 1080p, with Medium to High again showing the steepest decline at 100.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 153.9 FPS, indicating that even the heaviest settings leave ample performance for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the GPU finally begins to feel the load, though results remain far above playable. Low settings deliver 209.9 FPS, Medium produces 165.2 FPS, High reaches 102.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 96.8 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 62.6 FPS, while the High to Ultra transition is gentler at 5.8 FPS. Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 113.1 FPS—smaller than at lower resolutions, reflecting the GPU's saturation point approaching. Throughout all 12 measured configurations, no minFps or maxFps values were recorded, meaning the data presents only average frame rates, which consistently stay above 96 FPS even in the worst case.

The Verdict

This system runs Inside with overwhelming success. The verdictByResolution data confirms that every single resolution and preset combination clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with the best settings being Ultra at 96.8 FPS average. The same holds true at 2560x1440, where Ultra achieves 155.5 FPS, and at 1920x1080, where Ultra reaches 219.5 FPS.

The data indicates there is no configuration where this PC struggles. Even the most demanding scenario—4K Ultra—produces frame rates 61% above the playable threshold. The combo ranks 795th out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the top 21% of all CPU-GPU pairings for this game. Given that the dataIsMeasured field confirms these are real benchmark results rather than estimates, the conclusion is unambiguous: this hardware is overqualified for Inside, providing a buttery-smooth experience at maximum settings across all resolutions. Players could comfortably use V-sync or high refresh rate displays without ever approaching the performance ceiling.
