Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

Starting with the most demanding scenario, 4K at Ultra settings, the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination produces an average of 61 FPS. This is the lowest recorded average across all tested settings at this resolution, but it still clears the playable threshold. At High settings in 4K, the average rises to 64 FPS. The Medium preset delivers 102 FPS on average, with a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. Dropping to Low settings in 4K yields a substantial jump to 127 FPS on average.

At 1440p, the performance headroom expands considerably. The Ultra preset averages 97 FPS, while High settings reach 101 FPS. Medium settings produce 162 FPS on average, with recorded minimum and maximum values of 138 FPS and 186 FPS respectively. The Low preset at 1440p hits 203 FPS on average, a strong indicator that the GPU is not struggling at this resolution.

At 1080p, the combo operates at very high frame rates across the board. Ultra settings average 134 FPS, and High settings reach 141 FPS. Medium settings produce 215 FPS on average, with a minimum of 183 FPS and a maximum of 247 FPS. The Low preset tops out at 233 FPS on average. The data shows a clear pattern: this system is capable of far more than 60 FPS at every resolution and setting combination recorded.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU pairing at position 2756 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. That places it in the lower half of tested systems, which reflects the age and tier of the components rather than any deficiency in this particular game. The game is a puzzle platformer from 2016, and the recorded frame rates demonstrate that even a mid-range modern GPU paired with a six-core Comet Lake CPU is more than sufficient.

The ranking should not be interpreted as poor performance. It simply means many other tested combos feature higher-end hardware. What matters for a buyer is the actual measured FPS, and those numbers show this combo outperforming the 60 FPS playable threshold at every preset and resolution tested. The rank of 2756 out of 3716 is informative for comparing against other systems in the database, but the practical takeaway is that this combination delivers smooth gameplay across the board.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Inside at 4K resolution?

A: Yes. The recorded data shows playable performance at all four settings presets in 3840x2160. The Ultra preset averages 61 FPS, High averages 64 FPS, Medium averages 102 FPS, and Low averages 127 FPS.

Q: What is the best setting to use at 1440p?

A: The Ultra preset is fully playable at 1440p with an average of 97 FPS. Since all settings presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, choosing Ultra provides the highest visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

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

A: At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 134 at 1080p to 61 at 4K, a reduction of more than half. At Low settings, the average drops from 233 at 1080p to 127 at 4K.

Q: Is the RX 7600 the limiting factor in this game?

A: The GPU records a percentile rank of 57 against all GPUs in the database, and the CPU ranks at the 68th percentile. The frame rates scale strongly with resolution, which indicates the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences between settings.

Q: Does the CPU hold back the GPU at 1080p?

A: The CPU has a single-thread score of 688 in the 3dmark_single_thread test and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1451. The high frame rates at 1080p, including 233 FPS on Low and 134 FPS on Ultra, suggest the CPU is keeping up with the GPU without bottlenecking.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1080p Medium settings?

A: The Medium preset at 1920x1080 averages 215 FPS, with a minimum of 183 FPS and a maximum of 247 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Xeon 6756E, Intel Core 7 160UL, AMD EPYC 7552, and AMD Ryzen 3 7320C. The Xeon 6756E scores 0.2 percent higher in average benchmark score, while the Core 7 160UL scores 0.3 percent lower. The EPYC 7552 scores 0.5 percent higher, and the Ryzen 3 7320C scores 0.6 percent lower. These deltas are all within one percent, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-limited behavior in Inside. A builder who already owns one of these alternatives could expect similar frame pacing and minimum FPS characteristics.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, AMD Radeon Pro 560X, AMD Radeon 680M, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti. The RTX 3050 OEM scores 0.2 percent lower in average benchmark score, the Radeon Pro 560X scores 0.6 percent higher, the Radeon 680M scores 0.7 percent lower, and the GTX 660 Ti scores 0.7 percent higher. These differences are negligible for a game like Inside, which is not graphically demanding by modern standards. A system with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of the measured results for this combo.

The practical implication is that this combination sits in a dense cluster of similar-performing hardware. The RX 7600 has a GPU percentile rank of 57, and the i5-10400F has a CPU percentile rank of 68, so neither component is an outlier. Swapping in any of the listed rivals would not meaningfully change the gameplay experience in Inside.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear pattern about which component matters more at each resolution. At 4K, the frame rates vary significantly between settings presets: 61 FPS at Ultra, 64 FPS at High, 102 FPS at Medium, and 127 FPS at Low. This spread of 66 FPS between the lowest and highest presets indicates the GPU is the dominant factor at this resolution. The pixel count demands heavy work from the Radeon RX 7600, and lowering settings produces immediate and large gains.

At 1440p, the same pattern holds but with a wider spread. The Ultra preset averages 97 FPS, High averages 101 FPS, Medium averages 162 FPS, and Low averages 203 FPS. The difference between Ultra and Low is 106 FPS, showing that the GPU still has significant headroom when settings are reduced. The CPU is capable of feeding frames at these rates, as evidenced by the 203 FPS Low result.

At 1080p, the GPU continues to be the primary scaling factor. Ultra averages 134 FPS, High averages 141 FPS, Medium averages 215 FPS, and Low averages 233 FPS. The spread here is 99 FPS between Ultra and Low. The fact that Low settings at 1080p reach 233 FPS suggests the CPU can support very high frame rates, but the GPU still determines the ceiling at higher presets.

The verdict is that the GPU is the performance limiter in Inside across all tested resolutions. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides enough throughput for the game's workloads, but the Radeon RX 7600 dictates how many frames are delivered based on the chosen settings. This is typical for a visually driven game where resolution and graphical presets directly impact render load.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside with no reservations. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four settings presets are playable at every resolution tested. At 4K, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 61 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Ultra averages 97 FPS, and at 1080p, Ultra averages 134 FPS.

The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and this combination exceeds it in every recorded scenario. The lowest recorded average is 61 FPS at 4K Ultra, and the highest is 233 FPS at 1080p Low. For a puzzle platformer, these numbers are more than adequate for smooth gameplay. Players with a 4K display can run the game at maximum settings and stay just above the threshold, while those with 1440p or 1080p displays have substantial headroom to enable all visual features without concern.

The measured data shows that the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 form a capable pairing for Inside. The CPU delivers solid single-thread performance with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 688 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1451. The GPU provides a passmark_g3d score of 16634 and a 3dmark steel nomad score of 2310. Together, they produce a system that handles this game effortlessly at all tested configurations.
