Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in Inside shows a system that is heavily overqualified for the game's demands, with no resolution or preset combination dropping below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The measurements span three resolutions and four quality presets, though only the Medium preset includes full frame time data with minimum and maximum values.

At 1920x1080, the benchmark results are exceptionally high across every preset. The Low preset delivers an average of 233 FPS, which is the highest recorded average for this combination at any resolution. Medium produces an average of 215 FPS with a minimum of 183 FPS and a maximum of 247 FPS, showing a very tight frame time distribution. High settings average 167 FPS, while Ultra averages 159 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 74 FPS, which indicates that even the most demanding preset leaves substantial performance headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain far above the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 208 FPS, Medium averages 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 220 FPS, High averages 120 FPS, and Ultra averages 114 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 94 FPS, a slightly larger spread than at 1080p. The minimum recorded at Medium, 163 FPS, is still more than double the playable threshold, suggesting that even momentary dips in demanding scenes would not approach 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, performance scales down but remains comfortably playable. Low averages 150 FPS, Medium averages 120 FPS with a minimum of 102 FPS and a maximum of 138 FPS, High averages 75 FPS, and Ultra averages 72 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is 78 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 102 FPS is the lowest single frame data point recorded across all tested configurations, yet it still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. The Ultra preset at 4K, with an average of 72 FPS, sits just 12 FPS above the playability line, which is the closest any configuration comes to the threshold in the entire dataset.

The pattern across all three resolutions is consistent: Inside is a lightweight title for this hardware. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, paired with the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, deliver frame rates that are multiples of the 60 FPS target. Even at 4K Ultra, the weakest measured configuration, the average remains above 70 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database's verdict identifies the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS on average at each resolution. For this combination, every preset at every resolution qualifies, so the best settings are always Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 72 FPS. This is the only resolution where the best settings approach the playability threshold, but 72 FPS still provides a 12 FPS buffer. The High preset at the same resolution averages 75 FPS, which is only 3 FPS higher than Ultra, making Ultra the clear choice for maximum visual quality without sacrificing playability. Medium at 4K averages 120 FPS with a minimum of 102 FPS, but since Ultra clears 60 FPS, the database selects Ultra as the best settings.

At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 114 FPS. The buffer over the 60 FPS threshold is 54 FPS, which means there is considerable headroom even in the most visually demanding preset. Low at this resolution averages 208 FPS, but the recommendation is Ultra because it stays well above 60 FPS while offering the highest visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 159 FPS. This is nearly triple the playable threshold, so there is no reason to drop below Ultra settings. The 1080p Ultra result is the strongest recommendation in the dataset, as the 99 FPS buffer over 60 FPS means the game will run smoothly even in scenes with heavy on-screen activity.

For users seeking the absolute highest frame rates, the Low presets offer 233 FPS at 1080p, 208 FPS at 1440p, and 150 FPS at 4K. But for the best visual experience, the data supports Ultra at all three resolutions.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its nearest rivals in the database?

A: The RTX 4060's average benchmark score is 17639, which places it 0.2% below the AMD Radeon HD 7790, 0.3% above the AMD Radeon 780M, 0.5% above the AMD Radeon Pro 560, and 0.7% above the AMD Radeon Pro 460.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 2221 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside. This places it in the upper portion of the database, though not at the very top. The rank reflects the fact that many higher-end combinations exist, but the measured performance shows this combo still delivers frame rates far above what the game requires.

The CPU sits at the 68th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 14185. The GPU is at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17639. Neither component is a top-tier part, but their combined performance in this specific game is more than sufficient. The rank of 2221 out of 3716 means roughly 40% of tested combos perform better, but the practical impact of that ranking is minimal for a game this undemanding.

The data shows that percentile rankings in general-purpose benchmarks do not always translate proportionally to real-world game performance. While the CPU and GPU sit at the 68th and 61st percentiles respectively, the measured frame rates in Inside are multiples of the 60 FPS target across all settings and resolutions. This suggests that for this particular title, the combo's raw benchmark percentiles overstate the performance gap to higher-ranked hardware.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly to this combo. For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14185. The closest matches are the Intel Xeon 6756E with a score of 14163, which is 0.2% slower, and the Intel Core 7 160UL with a score of 14232, which is 0.3% faster. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% slower, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% faster. These four rivals bracket the i5-10400F within a range of roughly 1.1 percentage points, meaning any of them would deliver nearly identical CPU performance in Inside.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639. The nearest rival is the AMD Radeon HD 7790 with a score of 17666, which is 0.2% faster. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% slower, the AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% slower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7% slower. The entire cluster spans only 0.9 percentage points, so users with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would see effectively identical frame rates in this game.

It is importantly these nearest rivals are based on aggregate benchmark scores, not game-specific measurements. In a title like Inside, where even the weakest preset at 4K averages 150 FPS, the small differences between these rivals would be imperceptible. The practical takeaway is that the i5-10400F and RTX 4060 sit in a dense performance cluster, and swapping to any of the listed alternatives would not meaningfully change the experience.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset combination tested, with no configuration falling below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The database's verdict by resolution confirms that all four presets, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, are playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 72 FPS. The minimum recorded FPS across all 4K presets is 102 FPS at Medium, which means even the worst frame dips stay well above the threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 114 FPS, providing a 54 FPS buffer over the playability line. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 159 FPS, nearly triple the required frame rate.

The Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination is dramatically overprovisioned for Inside. The game's 2016 release date and Puzzle Platformer genre place modest demands on hardware, and the measured data reflects this. Users can enable maximum settings at any resolution without concern. The only scenario where the combo approaches the threshold is 4K Ultra at 72 FPS, and even that configuration has a 12 FPS margin. For a game that rarely stresses modern hardware, this combo delivers a smooth experience with substantial headroom for consistent frame pacing.
