Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide context for its compute performance. The AMD EPYC 7313P has an average benchmark score of 53206, a mere 0.2% below the Ryzen 9 7900X. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469, which is 0.3% higher. The Intel Xeon 634 scores 52974, sitting 0.6% lower. The Intel Core i7-14700F is the closest competitor at 53620, just 0.6% above the Ryzen 9 7900X. These four processors bracket the Ryzen 9 7900X within a narrow 1.2% performance band, indicating that users would experience nearly identical frame rates in Inside when pairing any of these CPUs with the same GPU.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080's nearest rivals are similarly close in aggregate performance. The RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54209, just 0.1% lower than the RTX 4080's 54247. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, 1.1% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, which is 2.6% higher, and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, 2.7% higher. Given that Inside produces frame rates far above the 60 FPS threshold at all settings, these small benchmark differences would translate to imperceptible real-world changes — likely a few FPS at most in the already high frame rates measured.

For practical purposes, a system with an RTX 4080 SUPER or a Core i7-14700F would produce nearly identical results in Inside. The data shows that the Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 4080 sit in a dense cluster of high-performance hardware where the largest gap between any of these rivals is under 3%.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, with complete average values for all combinations. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates range from 280 FPS at Ultra to 387 FPS at Low. Medium settings produce 357 FPS average, with a minimum of 304 FPS and a maximum of 411 FPS. High settings deliver 294 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 107 FPS, representing a 38% performance drop from the lowest to highest quality preset.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 201 FPS at Ultra, 211 FPS at High, 320 FPS at Medium, and 347 FPS at Low. The Medium preset records a minimum of 272 FPS and a maximum of 368 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra here is 146 FPS, meaning Ultra runs at 58% of the Low preset's frame rate. Interestingly, the drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is only 10 FPS, while the jump from High to Medium is 109 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 126 FPS at Ultra, 133 FPS at High, 212 FPS at Medium, and 265 FPS at Low. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 181 FPS and a maximum of 244 FPS. This resolution shows the largest relative impact of settings: Ultra delivers 48% of the Low preset's frame rate. The transition from High to Ultra costs only 7 FPS, but moving from High down to Medium gains 79 FPS.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values. The minimum FPS values always stay well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the lowest recorded minimum being 181 FPS at 4K Medium. The data indicates that this system never comes close to dropping below playable frame rates in any tested configuration.

The Verdict

The verdict is unambiguous: this PC runs Inside with massive headroom at every resolution and preset. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the lowest measured average across all twelve tested configurations is 126 FPS at 4K Ultra. The verdict data confirms that all four settings presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at all three resolutions.

The best settings at 3840x2160 are Ultra, achieving 126 FPS average. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra delivers 201 FPS average. At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 280 FPS average. In every case, the most demanding preset clears the playability bar by a factor of at least 2.1x.

Users with a 60 Hz display can run Inside at maximum quality settings without any concern. Even users with 120 Hz displays have headroom at 4K Ultra, while 144 Hz and 240 Hz displays can be fully utilized at 1440p and 1080p with Ultra settings. The only scenario where this system might not saturate a display's refresh rate is 4K with a 144 Hz or higher monitor, where the 126 FPS average would fall short.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extraordinarily high — 387 FPS at Low and 280 FPS at Ultra. These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the CPU becomes a more significant factor, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames quickly but the overall throughput is constrained by how fast the processor can feed draw calls and game logic.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high, with 347 FPS at Low and 201 FPS at Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is relatively modest — roughly 10% at Low settings (387 to 347 FPS) and 28% at Ultra (280 to 201 FPS). This indicates that the GPU begins to take on a larger role at 1440p, particularly at higher quality presets where pixel shading demands increase.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes dominant. The frame rates drop to 265 FPS at Low and 126 FPS at Ultra. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a 24% reduction at Low (347 to 265 FPS) and a 37% reduction at Ultra (201 to 126 FPS). These larger drops at 4K confirm that the RTX 4080's rendering throughput is the limiting factor at this resolution, especially with Ultra settings that increase shading complexity.

The settings scaling within each resolution also illustrates this shift. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 107 FPS (387 to 280). At 1440p, it grows to 146 FPS (347 to 201). At 4K, it reaches 139 FPS (265 to 126). The proportional impact of settings increases with resolution: Ultra runs at 72% of Low's frame rate at 1080p, 58% at 1440p, and 48% at 4K. This pattern shows that the GPU's capabilities become progressively more important as resolution increases, while the CPU maintains sufficient performance to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at the highest tested settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

The best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Since all presets exceed this threshold, the best settings are always Ultra.

At 3840x2160, Ultra delivers 126 FPS average. This is the most demanding configuration tested and provides a 66 FPS margin above the playable threshold. The data shows no reason to reduce quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra delivers 201 FPS average. This provides a 141 FPS margin above the threshold. The jump from High (211 FPS) to Ultra (201 FPS) costs only 10 FPS, making Ultra the obvious choice.

At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 280 FPS average. This provides a 220 FPS margin above the threshold. Even at Ultra, the system produces frame rates that would saturate most high-refresh-rate displays.

For users seeking maximum frame rates on very high refresh rate monitors, the data shows a clear progression: at 1080p, Low settings achieve 387 FPS; at 1440p, Low achieves 347 FPS; at 4K, Low achieves 265 FPS. These figures could inform decisions for competitive play or display-saturating scenarios, but for standard gaming, Ultra provides the best visual quality with frame rates that remain far above playable.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 177th out of 3716 tested configurations in Inside. This places the combo in the top 4.8% of all tested systems. The rank reflects the aggregate performance of both components working together in this specific game.

The CPU's 91st percentile ranking among all processors and the GPU's 86th percentile among all graphics cards combine to produce a system that sits comfortably in the upper echelon of tested hardware. The rank of 177 indicates that the vast majority of tested combos — 3539 of them — deliver lower performance in Inside.

Given the extreme frame rates measured, the practical implication of this rank is that users can expect maximum visual quality with performance far exceeding the playable threshold. The combination's position in the benchmark database reflects a balanced pairing of high-end CPU and GPU components that together provide substantial headroom in this title. For Inside, the data shows that this combo ranks within the top 5% of all tested systems, with measured performance that leaves no meaningful room for improvement through component upgrades within the tested database.
