Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a highly capable Inside experience, with the data showing this combination clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution tested, though the margin narrows significantly at 4K. At 1920x1080, this combo is effectively overkill, pushing average frame rates past 240 FPS on Low settings and maintaining a rock-solid 114 FPS at Ultra. The system’s performance scales predictably with resolution, but the 4K Ultra preset is the only configuration that falls below the playability mark, averaging 52 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for Inside reveal a consistent pattern of performance scaling across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional headroom: Low settings average 240 FPS, Medium averages 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS and maximum of 221 FPS, High averages 120 FPS, and Ultra averages 114 FPS. These numbers indicate that even the most demanding preset at 1080p leaves substantial performance in reserve.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain comfortably above 60 FPS across all settings. Low settings average 172 FPS, Medium averages 138 FPS (minimum 117 FPS, maximum 159 FPS), High averages 86 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. The delta between High and Ultra at this resolution is only 4 FPS, suggesting that the visual upgrade to Ultra comes at a minimal performance cost.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. Low settings still produce a smooth 108 FPS average, and Medium maintains 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and maximum of 100 FPS. High settings drop to 54 FPS, and Ultra falls to 52 FPS, both below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The interpolation here is clear: the Arc B570’s 10 GB GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth handle 4K Medium without issue, but the added shading load of High and Ultra presets overwhelms the GPU’s 2304 shading units.

The minimum FPS data available for Medium presets at each resolution shows consistent frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the 163 FPS minimum is 85% of the average. At 1440p Medium, the 117 FPS minimum is 85% of the average. At 4K Medium, the 74 FPS minimum is 85% of the average. This uniform ratio suggests the Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s 8 cores and 16 threads are not introducing any frame-time spikes, with the 96 MB shared L3 cache providing ample headroom for the game’s physics and puzzle logic.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K with the highest settings?

A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combo averages 52 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playability threshold. High settings fare only slightly better at 54 FPS. Medium settings are the best playable option at 4K, delivering 87 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming with this hardware?

A: Ultra settings are fully playable at 2560x1440, averaging 82 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS at this resolution, and it does so with 22 FPS of headroom.

Q: How much performance difference is there between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: The gap is substantial. Low settings average 240 FPS, while Ultra averages 114 FPS. This represents a 126 FPS difference, or roughly 53% of the Low setting’s score, meaning the Ultra preset demands nearly double the GPU resources.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D a bottleneck for the Arc B570 in this game?

A: The data does not indicate a CPU bottleneck. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D scores 23,230 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,080 in single-core, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU’s 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests the Arc B570 is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, not the processor.

Q: Does this combo maintain consistent frame rates, or are there drops?

A: The available minimum FPS data for Medium presets shows stable performance. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 163 FPS against a 192 FPS average. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 117 FPS against a 138 FPS average. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 74 FPS against an 87 FPS average. The minimums consistently hold at 85% of the average, indicating no severe frame dips.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other tested hardware combinations?

A: Out of 3,716 tested combos, this pairing ranks 2,983rd for Inside. This places it in the lower 20% of all configurations, which is surprising given the strong 1080p and 1440p results, but reflects the fact that many higher-tier GPUs achieve far higher 4K frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the optimal choice, averaging 114 FPS. This is the most demanding setting available, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold with 54 FPS of headroom, ensuring a fully fluid experience with all visual features enabled.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings remain the best option, averaging 82 FPS. The 22 FPS of headroom above the playability threshold means there is no reason to drop to High settings, which only save 4 FPS on average while reducing visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, Medium settings are the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, averaging 87 FPS. The jump to High drops the average to 54 FPS, a 33 FPS loss that pushes the experience below playability. For 4K users, Medium offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, with a 74 FPS minimum ensuring no sustained dips below 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS (0.4% slower), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.7% faster), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 (0.7% slower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (0.8% faster). These processors would deliver virtually identical CPU-bound performance in Inside, meaning any of them paired with the Arc B570 would produce the same measured FPS results. The Ryzen 7 7700, in particular, offers the closest performance profile, with a delta of just 0.8% in average benchmark scores.

For the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570’s nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% slower), the Intel Arc A750 (0.1% faster), the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (0.4% slower), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X (0.5% slower). The Arc A750 is the most direct comparable desktop GPU, with benchmark scores nearly identical to the B570. Substituting any of these GPUs would yield frame rates within 1% of the B570’s performance, meaning the 4K High and Ultra presets would still fall short of 60 FPS, while 1080p and 1440p would remain fully playable.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside, with the data showing playable performance at every resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 114 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear the threshold, with Ultra at 82 FPS. At 3840x2160, however, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium providing the best experience at 87 FPS. The High and Ultra presets at 4K fall short, averaging 54 FPS and 52 FPS respectively.

The verdict is straightforward: for 1080p and 1440p gaming, this combo delivers a flawless experience with maximum settings. For 4K, users must compromise on visual quality, setting the preset to Medium to maintain 60 FPS. The 10 GB VRAM of the Arc B570 is sufficient for Medium at 4K, but the GPU’s raw compute throughput of 11.52 TFLOPS limits its ability to handle the more demanding High and Ultra shader workloads at that resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

Among 3,716 tested hardware combinations for Inside, this pairing ranks 2,983rd. That ranking places it in the bottom 20% of all configurations, which may seem counterintuitive given the strong 1080p and 1440p results. The explanation lies in the game’s age and the benchmark pool’s composition: Inside launched in 2016, and many of the 3,716 tested combos include top-tier GPUs like the RTX 4090 and RX 7900 XTX, which achieve far higher 4K frame rates. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s CPU performance is exceptional, but the Arc B570’s 65th percentile GPU ranking drags the overall combo ranking down, particularly for 4K enthusiasts who prioritize maximum visual fidelity over frame rate headroom.

The practical takeaway from the ranking is that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gameplay, where it outperforms the vast majority of tested configurations. For 4K, the ranking reflects that many other GPUs offer superior performance, though the Medium preset at 87 FPS remains a highly playable option for those willing to adjust settings.
