Inside

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a definitive 60 FPS experience across every resolution and preset tested for Inside. The data shows this combination is not merely adequate but overwhelmingly capable, with even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K clearing the playable threshold by a significant margin.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 72 FPS. This is a strong result, as it means the full visual experience is available at 4K without compromise. The High preset runs at 75 FPS, while Medium reaches 120 FPS with a minimum of 102 FPS and a maximum of 138 FPS, showing the frame pacing remains tight even at higher settings. The Low preset jumps to 150 FPS, but since Ultra already clears the threshold, it is the recommended choice for maximum fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are again Ultra, delivering an average of 114 FPS. The gap between presets is more pronounced here: High runs at 120 FPS, Medium at 192 FPS (min 163 FPS, max 220 FPS), and Low at 239 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p provides a 58% higher frame rate than the same preset at 4K, indicating the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution.

For 1920x1080, the answer remains Ultra, with an average of 159 FPS. This is the highest average for Ultra across all resolutions, and it is notably the Low preset hits 318 FPS, Medium reaches 266 FPS (min 226 FPS, max 306 FPS), and High runs at 167 FPS. At 1080p, the RTX 4060 is effectively maxed out in terms of visual quality while still delivering well over double the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the dominant factor for Inside, but the CPU still plays a measurable role at lower resolutions. At 3840x2160, the scaling from Medium to Ultra shows a drop from 120 FPS to 72 FPS, a 40% reduction that is almost entirely attributable to GPU load. The Ryzen 9 5950X, with its 16 cores and 32 threads, is not the bottleneck here; the RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are the limiting factors at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale more linearly with GPU load: Low at 239 FPS, Medium at 192 FPS, High at 120 FPS, and Ultra at 114 FPS. The spread between High and Ultra is only 5%, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects are not heavily taxing the GPU. The CPU's contribution becomes more apparent at 1920x1080, where the Low preset reaches 318 FPS — a figure that approaches the limits of what the 5950X's single-thread performance can feed. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 944 and PassMark single-thread score of 3470 suggest it is well-prepared for high-FPS scenarios, but the data shows the GPU saturates first at 4K.

The resolution scaling pattern is clear: as resolution increases, the GPU's role grows, while the CPU's influence diminishes. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 78 FPS (from 150 to 72), whereas at 1080p that same preset gap is 159 FPS (from 318 to 159). This indicates the RTX 4060 is the primary driver of performance, with the 5950X providing ample headroom for the game's physics and logic at all tested settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core i9-13900F has an average benchmark score of 51730, which is 0.4% higher than the 5950X's 51947. This means the 13900F would behave nearly identically in Inside, with a negligible performance delta. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX scores 52073 (-0.2% vs the 5950X) and the AMD EPYC 8124P scores 52121 (-0.3%), both effectively matching the Ryzen's performance. The Intel Core i7-14700 is 0.7% ahead with a score of 52301, but the difference is within the margin of error for game benchmarks.

For the GPU, the nearest rival is the AMD Radeon HD 7790, which scores 17666 compared to the RTX 4060's 17639 — a -0.2% delta. This is a surprising pairing, as the HD 7790 is an older architecture, but the benchmark data shows it would deliver essentially identical frame rates in Inside. The AMD Radeon 780M (integrated graphics) scores 17588 (0.3% behind) and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551 (0.5% behind), all within a 0.7% range. This suggests that for this particular game, the RTX 4060's performance class is well-represented by a broad range of hardware, and any of these alternatives would produce similar results at all resolutions.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside, and the verdict is unambiguous across all resolutions. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset runs at 72 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by 20%. The High preset at 75 FPS and Medium at 120 FPS are also playable, making 4K a fully viable option. At 2560x1440, Ultra hits 114 FPS, more than 90% above the playable threshold, and every other preset exceeds 120 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra runs at 159 FPS, with even the highest preset providing a 165% margin over the 60 FPS minimum.

The data shows no configuration in the measured results falls below 60 FPS. The lowest recorded average is 72 FPS at 4K Ultra, and the lowest minimum FPS is 102 FPS at 4K Medium. This means the user can select the highest visual quality at any resolution without concern for performance drops. The combination of the 5950X's strong multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26017) and the RTX 4060's efficient Ada Lovelace architecture results in a system that is not just playable but exceptionally smooth for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured results are as follows:

• High: Average 75 FPS
• Low: Average 150 FPS
• Medium: Average 120 FPS, minimum 102 FPS, maximum 138 FPS
• Ultra: Average 72 FPS

The Medium preset shows the most stable frame pacing, with a narrow 36 FPS range between min and max. The Ultra preset's lack of min/max data suggests the average is consistent enough that variance was not recorded.

At 2560x1440:

• High: Average 120 FPS
• Low: Average 239 FPS
• Medium: Average 192 FPS, minimum 163 FPS, maximum 220 FPS
• Ultra: Average 114 FPS

The scaling from Low to Ultra is nearly linear, with each preset step reducing the average by roughly 40-70 FPS. The Medium preset again shows a tight 57 FPS range, indicating stable performance.

At 1920x1080:

• High: Average 167 FPS
• Low: Average 318 FPS
• Medium: Average 266 FPS, minimum 226 FPS, maximum 306 FPS
• Ultra: Average 159 FPS

The 1080p results reveal the full potential of the combo, with the Low preset approaching 320 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 226 FPS is still far above the 60 FPS threshold, demonstrating that even the most demanding scenes at 1080p are trivial for this hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Inside, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1920th out of 3716 combos. This places it in the 48th percentile, meaning roughly half of all tested systems perform better. However, this ranking must be interpreted in context: the game is lightweight, and many higher-ranked combos likely feature top-tier GPUs like the RTX 4090, which would push frame rates into the hundreds at 4K. The absolute performance here is already excellent, with the lowest playable setting hitting 72 FPS, so the rank reflects relative standing rather than any deficiency.

The CPU's overall percentile of 91 versus all CPUs and the GPU's percentile of 61 versus all GPUs further contextualize this result. The 5950X is a top-tier processor, while the RTX 4060 is a mid-range GPU, and the combination lands in the upper half of tested systems. For a game like Inside, which does not heavily stress modern hardware, this rank is more than sufficient — the data confirms that every resolution and preset combination clears the 60 FPS bar with room to spare.
