Inside

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER runs Inside at every resolution and preset in the database, with all measured configurations clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold. The most demanding preset, Ultra, holds exactly 60 FPS at 3840x2160, while the combination ranks 2556th out of 3716 tested CPU-GPU pairings for this title. This is a puzzle platformer from 2016, and the recorded data shows a system that is substantially overqualified for the task.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra. The measured average is exactly 60 FPS, which meets the playability threshold precisely. Low settings deliver 127 FPS, Medium delivers 102 FPS, and High delivers 63 FPS, but Ultra is the highest visual quality option and it still clears the bar.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best settings choice, averaging 96 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, providing comfortable headroom. The full spread at 1440p ranges from 202 FPS at Low to 96 FPS at Ultra.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 134 FPS, making it the best settings option without any compromise. The system has enormous headroom at 1080p, with Low settings reaching 281 FPS.

In summary, the best settings per resolution are Ultra at all three resolutions. The system never forces a preset downgrade to maintain playability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a GPU-driven scaling pattern as resolution increases. At Ultra settings, the average goes from 134 FPS at 1920x1080 to 96 FPS at 2560x1440 to 60 FPS at 3840x2160. This consistent drop across every preset indicates that the GPU is the primary scaling factor when resolution increases. The same pattern appears at Low settings, where the average goes from 281 FPS at 1920x1080 to 202 FPS at 2560x1440 to 127 FPS at 3840x2160.

The CPU's role is less prominent. The Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor with a 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26017 and single-core score of 1614, along with a PassMark single-thread score of 3470, show a processor with both high multi-threaded throughput and strong per-core performance. Inside is a puzzle platformer that does not demand high core counts, so the 5950X's single-thread strength is what matters most here.

Evidence of CPU capability comes from the Low settings results. At 1920x1080 Low, the system reaches 281 FPS, which is far beyond what the GPU can sustain at higher resolutions. This indicates the CPU can feed frames at a very high rate without becoming a bottleneck. Even at 2560x1440 Low, the system hits 202 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it reaches 127 FPS.

The GPU, an RTX 2060 SUPER with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus and 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, sits at the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. Its PassMark G3D score of 16462 places it as a mid-range card. The resolution scaling pattern shows that as pixel count increases, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, which is expected behavior for a title where the visual workload scales directly with resolution.

In short, the GPU is the component that determines how the game performs across resolutions, while the CPU provides more than enough headroom at every tested setting.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings average 281 FPS. Medium settings average 225 FPS, with a minimum of 191 FPS and a maximum of 259 FPS. High settings average 141 FPS. Ultra settings average 134 FPS. Every preset at 1080p clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with the lowest recorded minimum being 191 FPS at Medium.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain well above the playability threshold. Low settings average 202 FPS. Medium settings average 162 FPS, with a minimum of 137 FPS and a maximum of 186 FPS. High settings average 101 FPS. Ultra settings average 96 FPS. The minimum recorded at 1440p Medium is 137 FPS, well above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system remains playable at every preset. Low settings average 127 FPS. Medium settings average 102 FPS, with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. High settings average 63 FPS. Ultra settings average 60 FPS. The minimum recorded at 3840x2160 Medium is 86 FPS, which is still above the playability threshold. High and Ultra at 3840x2160 sit close to the 60 FPS line, at 63 FPS and 60 FPS respectively.

The only settings where min and max FPS were recorded are Medium at each resolution. The data shows modest frame time variance at Medium: at 1920x1080, the range is 191 to 259 FPS; at 2560x1440, 137 to 186 FPS; and at 3840x2160, 86 to 117 FPS. The absence of min and max values for other presets in the database means the analysis relies on average FPS for those configurations.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Inside at 3840x2160 Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra is exactly 60 FPS, meeting the playability threshold precisely. The verdict data lists Ultra as the best settings at 3840x2160.

Q: What is the highest frame rate recorded for this combination?

A: The highest average is 281 FPS at 1920x1080 Low settings. The next highest is 225 FPS at 1920x1080 Medium, followed by 202 FPS at 2560x1440 Low.

Q: Does the game remain playable at all settings on 2560x1440?

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 9 5950X has an average benchmark score of 51947. Its nearest rivals, all within a fraction of a percent, are the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX at 52073 (-0.2%), the AMD EPYC 8124P at 52121 (-0.3%), the Intel Core i9-13900F at 51730 (+0.4%), and the Intel Core i7-14700 at 52301 (-0.7%). Any of these processors would deliver effectively identical performance in Inside when paired with the same GPU.

The RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 18093. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile at 18159 (-0.4%), the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 at 18189 (-0.5%), the AMD Radeon RX 460 at 18373 (-1.5%), and the Intel Arc A770M at 18383 (-1.6%). A system using any of these GPUs with the Ryzen 9 5950X would produce very similar frame rates in Inside, with the RX 460 and Arc A770M being the closest in aggregate score but slightly ahead of the RTX 2060 SUPER in the database's average.

The practical implication is that the recorded FPS numbers for this combination are representative of a broader set of hardware pairings. Users with a Ryzen 9 5950X and any of the listed rival GPUs, or with an RTX 2060 SUPER and any of the listed rival CPUs, can expect comparable results in this title.

The Verdict

This system can run Inside at every resolution and preset tested. The verdict data confirms that all four settings at each of the three resolutions are playable, meaning every configuration clears the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, Ultra is the best settings choice with an average of 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 96 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 134 FPS.

The weakest point in the dataset is 3840x2160 Ultra at exactly 60 FPS, which leaves no headroom for frame rate dips. The recorded min FPS for Medium at 3840x2160 is 86 FPS, and while min values are not available for Ultra at 3840x2160, the average sitting exactly at the threshold means any variance could push individual frames below 60 FPS. For users who prefer a safety margin, High at 3840x2160 averages 63 FPS, which provides slightly more buffer.

At 2560x1440 and 1920x1080, the system has substantial headroom. The lowest average at 2560x1440 is 96 FPS at Ultra, and at 1920x1080 it is 134 FPS at Ultra. Even the most demanding settings at these resolutions leave the system comfortably above the playability threshold. This is a straightforward recommendation: the Ryzen 9 5950X and RTX 2060 SUPER combination runs Inside with maximum settings at all tested resolutions.
