Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an extreme combination for Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. The benchmark data shows this system is massively overqualified, delivering average frame rates from 137.5 FPS at 4K Ultra to 342.3 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured results place this combo in the 263rd position out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the top 7% of all tested systems for this game.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest playable preset at 4K resolution?

A: According to the measured FPS data, the Ultra preset at 3840x2160 delivers an average of 137.5 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdictByResolution confirms that all four settings (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are playable at 4K.

*Q: How does the combo rank against other tested systems for Inside?*

A: The combination ranks 263rd out of 3716 tested combos, placing it in the top 7.1% of all systems tested for this game. This ranking reflects the high performance of both components.

Q: What is the performance difference between 1080p and 4K at High settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average FPS is 264.5. Moving to 3840x2160 with High settings drops the average to 148.1 FPS. This represents a 44% reduction in frame rate when scaling from 1080p to 4K.

Q: Which component has a higher percentile ranking?

A: The GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, ranks in the 88th percentile among all GPUs. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, ranks in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. Both are near the top of their respective categories.

Q: What is the average benchmark score difference between the CPU and GPU?

A: The CPU has an average benchmark score of 33079, while the GPU has an average score of 60347. The GPU's average score is approximately 82% higher than the CPU's.

Q: Is the 60 FPS threshold easily met at all tested resolutions?

A: Yes. The lowest measured average FPS across any resolution and preset is 137.5 FPS at 4K Ultra. Every other tested configuration exceeds 148 FPS, so the 60 FPS playable threshold is cleared by more than double in every scenario.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination sits at rank 263 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This places the system in the top 7.1% of all tested hardware pairs for this game. The data indicates this is a premium configuration operating far above the requirements of a 2016 Puzzle Platformer.

The combo's percentile placement is driven by the GPU's 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs, which is slightly higher than the CPU's 83rd percentile ranking. The average benchmark scores reflect this hierarchy: the RTX 4090 scores 60347, while the 7800X3D scores 33079. For Inside, a game that is not graphically demanding by modern standards, the GPU performance headroom is substantial.

The measured FPS data confirms the rank's implication. Even at the most demanding configuration tested — 4K Ultra — the system averages 137.5 FPS. The least demanding configuration — 1080p Low — produces 342.3 FPS. These figures are consistent with a combo that ranks in the upper echelon of tested systems, far exceeding the needs of a game that launched in 2016. The rank of 263 suggests that while this is a top-tier setup, a small number of even more powerful combinations exist in the database.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and the Intel Core i7-13650HX both post an average benchmark score of 33089, a delta of 0% from the 7800X3D's 33079. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33091, also a 0% delta. These processors would behave nearly identically in Inside, meaning frame rates would remain within a negligible margin. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33201, a delta of -0.4%, which is also effectively indistinguishable in gameplay terms.

For the GPU, the nearest rival is the Intel Arc Pro A60 with an average score of 60326, a delta of 0% from the RTX 4090's 60347. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140, a delta of 0.3%, while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61896, a delta of -2.5%. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, a delta of 2.9%. These GPUs would produce similar average frame rates in Inside, though the RTX 4090's advantage in raw compute (82.58 TFLOPS FP32) suggests it handles the game's occasional heavier scenes with more consistency.

When combined, these rival components would yield a system that performs within a few percent of the 7800X3D + RTX 4090 setup. For Inside, which is not CPU-bound at any tested resolution, the CPU choice matters less. The GPU remains the dominant factor, but even a GPU with a 2.9% lower score would still clear the 60 FPS threshold at 4K Ultra.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: this system can run Inside flawlessly at every resolution and preset tested. The verdictByResolution lists all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — as playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The 60 FPS playable threshold is met with substantial margin.

At 4K Ultra, the most demanding tested configuration, the system averages 137.5 FPS. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p Ultra, the average rises to 224.5 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, it reaches 258.2 FPS. The minimum measured FPS is not provided, but the average is so far above the threshold that even significant frame-time spikes would rarely dip below 60 FPS.

The data suggests that the playable ceiling for this combo is above the Ultra preset at 4K, but no higher settings were tested. The RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for a game with modest textures. The CPU's 96 MB of L3 cache and 8 cores at a 5.00 GHz boost clock are similarly overprovisioned for this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals the GPU's dominant role. At High settings, moving from 1080p (264.5 FPS) to 1440p (234.8 FPS) results in an 11% drop. Moving from 1440p to 4K (148.1 FPS) produces a 37% drop. This pattern is consistent with GPU-bound scaling, where pixel count drives frame rate.

The CPU's role is minimal at all resolutions. The 7800X3D's single-thread score of 959 in 3DMark and 1713 in Cinebench R23 are more than sufficient for a game like Inside, which does not stress multi-threaded performance. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7980 indicates the CPU is idle in most frames. There is no resolution at which the CPU would bottleneck the RTX 4090 in this title.

The gap between Low and Ultra presets at each resolution also points to GPU scaling. At 1080p, the difference between Low (342.3 FPS) and Ultra (258.2 FPS) is 84.1 FPS, a 24.6% reduction. At 4K, the same preset comparison shows a drop from 261.9 FPS to 137.5 FPS, a 47.5% reduction. The larger percentage drop at 4K indicates the GPU is working harder at higher resolutions, while the CPU load remains constant.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 137.5 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that maintains a 60+ FPS average. Since all settings are playable, Ultra is the clear choice for maximum visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 224.5 FPS. The delta between Ultra and High (234.8 FPS) is only 10.3 FPS, so there is no reason to sacrifice visual quality. Ultra remains the best option.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 258.2 FPS. The difference between Ultra and Medium (316.4 FPS) is 58.2 FPS, but the absolute frame rate at Ultra is already far beyond the refresh rate of any mainstream monitor. Ultra is the recommended preset for this resolution.

The data supports a simple conclusion: run the game at Ultra settings at any resolution. The lowest average FPS recorded across all tests is 137.5 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still 129% above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This system does not require compromise.
