Inside

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers an exceptional experience in Inside, a Puzzle Platformer from 2016. Benchmark data shows this combination produces extremely high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, with the lowest average being 108 FPS at 4K Ultra. The game is not demanding by modern standards, and this hardware configuration far exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold at every setting tier, making it a top-tier performer for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo shows a clear performance hierarchy across presets. The Low preset delivers an average of 228.8 FPS, while Medium reaches 183.5 FPS. Moving to High drops the average to 116.4 FPS, and the Ultra preset settles at 108 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, representing a 120.8 FPS difference, but even the most demanding preset maintains a triple-digit average.

The 2560x1440 (1440p) results scale predictably. Low settings produce an average of 348.8 FPS, Medium achieves 292.3 FPS, and High comes in at 186.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 175.4 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs only 11.5 FPS, suggesting the visual uplift from Ultra is relatively cheap at this resolution.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the hardware pushes extremely high numbers. Low settings hit 389.8 FPS, Medium reaches 355.5 FPS, and High averages 255.9 FPS. Ultra at 1080p delivers 242 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 147.8 FPS, but all presets remain far above any conceivable display refresh rate.

No minimum or maximum frame rate data was captured for any resolution or preset, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates. The data indicates that this CPU-GPU combination is never bottlenecked in a way that would cause frame rate dips below playable levels, given the consistently high averages.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 383rd out of 3716 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the top 10.3% of all configurations. This percentile ranking is strong, though it reflects the game's low system requirements more than the absolute power of the hardware — many older or less powerful components can also run this title well.

The CPU itself sits in the 91st percentile among all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 53288. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7313P with an average score of 53206 (0.2% slower), the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 at 53469 (0.3% faster), the Intel Xeon 634 at 52974 (0.6% slower), and the Intel Core i7-14700F at 53620 (0.6% faster). These deltas are minimal, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly identical performance in this game.

The GPU ranks in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 43223. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43262 (0.1% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile at 43268 (0.1% faster), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43301 (0.2% faster), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at 43667 (1% faster). Again, the performance deltas are negligible, so users with these alternative GPUs would see virtually identical frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 108 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it maintains a comfortable margin above the playability threshold. The data shows all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at 4K, with the lowest being Ultra at 108 FPS.

For 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, delivering an average of 175.4 FPS. Every preset at this resolution exceeds 175 FPS, so users can enable maximum quality without any concern for frame rate drops. The margin above the 60 FPS threshold is over 115 FPS, providing ample headroom.

At 1920x1080, Ultra remains the optimal choice, with an average of 242 FPS. This is more than four times the playability threshold, meaning the game will run flawlessly on high-refresh-rate displays. The lowest preset at 1080p, Low, averages 389.8 FPS, which is only relevant for users with extremely high refresh rate monitors (360Hz or above).

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X are all within 0.6% of its average benchmark score. The AMD EPYC 7313P (53206, 0.2% slower) and Intel Xeon 634 (52974, 0.6% slower) would behave nearly identically in Inside. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (53469, 0.3% faster) and Intel Core i7-14700F (53620, 0.6% faster) offer marginal improvements that would not be perceptible in this game. Any of these processors paired with the RTX 4070 SUPER would produce essentially the same frame rates.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, 0.1% faster), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, 0.1% faster), NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301, 0.2% faster), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667, 1% faster) are all close matches. The RTX 4090 Mobile is the fastest of the group, but its 1% advantage translates to roughly 1-4 FPS in Inside depending on resolution and preset — a difference that is imperceptible in real gameplay. Users with any of these GPUs should expect comparable performance to the RTX 4070 SUPER.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities across resolutions. At 1080p, the frame rates are extremely high (242-389.8 FPS), suggesting the CPU is the primary limiter since the GPU has ample headroom to render more frames. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 147.8 FPS drop, indicating that GPU load increases with settings, but the absolute numbers remain so high that neither component is stressed.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates decrease by roughly 27-41% compared to 1080p at the same settings. For example, High drops from 255.9 FPS to 186.9 FPS, and Ultra drops from 242 FPS to 175.4 FPS. This scaling suggests the GPU becomes more influential at this resolution, as the pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The frame rates drop further: High falls from 186.9 FPS at 1440p to 116.4 FPS, and Ultra falls from 175.4 FPS to 108 FPS. The pixel count doubles from 1440p to 4K, and the frame rate reduction is proportionally larger, confirming that the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering capacity is the binding constraint at this resolution. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, since the GPU takes longer to render each frame, giving the processor more time to feed it data.
