Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

Starting at 3840x2160, the recorded data shows a wide spread across the four presets. At Low settings, the combination of AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers an average of 150 FPS. Moving to Medium, the average sits at 120 FPS, with a minimum of 102 FPS and a maximum of 138 FPS. High settings produce an average of 75 FPS. At Ultra, the average drops to 72 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is substantial: 150 FPS down to 72 FPS, a reduction of more than half. Notably, only the Medium preset at this resolution has recorded min and max values; the other three presets lack those bounds in the database.

At 2560x1440, the performance envelope shifts upward considerably. Low settings reach an average of 239 FPS. Medium averages 192 FPS, with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 220 FPS. High settings record an average of 120 FPS. Ultra averages 114 FPS. The pattern mirrors 4K: Low is the fastest, Ultra is the slowest, and Medium is the only preset with documented min and max values. The step from High to Ultra is relatively small, just 6 FPS on average, while the step from Medium to High costs 72 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the numbers climb even higher. Low settings average 333 FPS. Medium averages 266 FPS, with a minimum of 226 FPS and a maximum of 306 FPS. High settings average 166 FPS. Ultra averages 159 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 174 FPS, which indicates that the preset selection has a profound impact on frame delivery. Every resolution shows the same ordering: Low beats Medium, Medium beats High, and High beats Ultra. The only preset with min and max data across all three resolutions is Medium, which makes it the most fully documented configuration in the measurements.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals which component carries the load for this game. At 1080p Low, the average is 333 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 239 FPS. At 4K Low, it falls to 150 FPS. This steep decline as pixel count rises points to the GPU becoming the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The CPU, a 16-core Zen 5 part with 32 threads, has ample headroom for a puzzle platformer like Inside; the frame rate collapse from 333 to 150 FPS across a 4x increase in pixel area is characteristic of GPU-bound rendering.

Looking at Ultra presets, the same trend holds. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 159 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it is 114 FPS. At 4K Ultra, it is 72 FPS. The proportional drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 28%, and from 1440p to 4K it is roughly 37%. These reductions are consistent with a GPU that is increasingly saturated by resolution demands. The RTX 4070 has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and a 192-bit bus, and the data suggests that memory bandwidth and shading throughput, not CPU instruction throughput, are what limit higher resolution performance.

The CPU still matters at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, 333 FPS is a number that requires both a strong graphics card and a processor capable of feeding frames quickly. The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 scores 35314 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2044 in single-core, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2464. Those figures indicate a fast modern core design, but the game itself is not computationally heavy by modern standards. Inside is a puzzle platformer, and the recorded frame rates suggest that even at 1080p, the GPU is still the dominant factor because the CPU can comfortably exceed the GPU's output.

The Medium preset provides the clearest look at scaling because it is the only preset with min and max values at every resolution. At 1080p Medium, the average is 266 FPS with a minimum of 226 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 120 FPS with a minimum of 102 FPS. The minimums scale almost proportionally with the averages, which suggests consistent frame pacing rather than occasional CPU hitches. The maximums also scale: 306, 220, and 138 FPS respectively. This consistency across resolutions reinforces the interpretation that the RTX 4070 is the limiting factor, since a CPU bottleneck would typically show more erratic scaling patterns.

FAQ

A: Yes. The recorded average at 3840x2160 Ultra is 72 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. The database lists Ultra as the best settings at this resolution, with an average of 72 FPS.

Q: What is the fastest preset at 1080p?

A: Low settings produce the highest average at 1920x1080, reaching 333 FPS. Medium follows at 266 FPS, High at 166 FPS, and Ultra at 159 FPS.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K at Medium settings?

A: At 1920x1080 Medium, the average is 266 FPS. At 3840x2160 Medium, the average is 120 FPS. That is a reduction of 146 FPS, or roughly 55% of the 1080p value.

Q: Are there any presets that fail to reach 60 FPS?

A: No. Every preset at every resolution in the measured data exceeds 60 FPS on average. The lowest recorded average is 72 FPS at 4K Ultra. The verdict by resolution lists High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080.

A: Yes. Medium is the only preset with min and max values recorded at all three resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 226 to 306 FPS. At 1440p, it is 163 to 220 FPS. At 4K, it is 102 to 138 FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations for Inside?

A: The combo ranks 1889 out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers the question directly: yes, this PC can run Inside, and it does so far beyond the 60 FPS threshold at every tested setting. At 3840x2160, the verdict lists High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable, with Ultra averaging 72 FPS. That means even the most demanding preset at the highest resolution clears the playable threshold by 12 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 114 FPS. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 159 FPS.

The practical implication is that the user can choose any combination of resolution and preset without worrying about dropping below 60 FPS. The weakest point in the entire dataset is 4K Ultra at 72 FPS, which still leaves headroom. The strongest point is 1080p Low at 333 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can even show. For a puzzle platformer, this level of performance is excessive in the best way: it guarantees smooth motion, fast input response, and the freedom to enable maximum visual quality without compromise.

The data also shows that the system is not just barely playable; it is comfortably playable. The 60 FPS threshold is a common target for smooth gameplay, and every single measurement exceeds it. The only potential concern is the lack of min and max data for most presets, which means frame dips cannot be fully assessed for High, Low, and Ultra. However, the available Medium data shows minimums that stay well above 60 FPS, with a 4K minimum of 102 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Inside, this pairing sits at rank 1889 out of 3716. That places it just past the midpoint of all tested systems. The rank reflects the combined performance of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 in this specific game. Given that the game runs at very high frame rates across all presets, the rank is more a measure of how other combinations perform in absolute terms rather than an indication of any weakness. A rank of 1889 out of 3716 means roughly half of the tested systems deliver higher average frame rates, but the measured data for this combo shows no playability issues whatsoever.

The CPU itself ranks in the 95th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 77740. The GPU ranks in the 81st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37648. These percentile placements show that both components are above average individually, and the in-game rank reflects their combined output. The game is not particularly demanding, so the high individual component scores translate into very high frame rates, even if other combos in the database manage to push even further.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 72 FPS. This is the best settings choice at 4K because it delivers the maximum visual quality while still clearing the playable threshold by a comfortable margin.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is also Ultra, with an average of 114 FPS. The headroom at 1440p is larger, so users can enable the highest preset without any concern about frame rate.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is again Ultra, with an average of 159 FPS. All three resolutions support Ultra as the best settings, which is a rare outcome for a game and hardware combination. The pattern is consistent: this system can run Inside at maximum quality at every resolution tested.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 provide context for CPU-bound tasks. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX has an average score of 76513, which is 1.6% higher than the Ryzen AI Max+ 395. The AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P scores 76492, also 1.6% higher. The Intel Core i9-14900K scores 79097, which is 1.7% lower than the Ryzen AI Max+ 395. The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX scores 76212, which is 2% higher. These deltas are all within a narrow band, meaning a system built around any of these CPUs would behave similarly in Inside, where the GPU dominates the frame rate.

The nearest rivals for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 show a similar pattern. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 has an average score of 37628, just 0.1% higher. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507, 0.4% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135, which is 1.3% lower. The AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37157, which is 1.3% higher. All four rivals are within a couple of percentage points of the RTX 4070, so swapping in any of these GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Inside. The game is light enough that even these closely matched alternatives would likely maintain the same playable status across all resolutions and presets.
