Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Inside with the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination shows consistently high frame rates across all tested resolutions and presets. The measurements cover three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160) and four settings levels (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with all results expressed as average FPS.

At 1920x1080, the lowest average FPS recorded is 175.8 at Ultra settings. The Medium preset delivers 212.7 FPS, High settings reach 178.4 FPS, and the Low preset produces the highest average at 232 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 56.2 FPS, which demonstrates that the game's visual settings have a measurable but not dramatic impact on performance when the resolution is this moderate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS figures remain well above the playable threshold. Low settings produce 211.1 FPS, Medium delivers 191.1 FPS, High reaches 159.6 FPS, and Ultra settles at 160 FPS. Interestingly, the High and Ultra presets are nearly identical in performance here, with only a 0.4 FPS difference between them. The spread from Low to Ultra is 51.1 FPS, slightly narrower than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops are more pronounced but still leave substantial headroom. Low settings average 176.1 FPS, Medium delivers 165.1 FPS, High reaches 120.9 FPS, and Ultra produces 116.4 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 59.7 FPS, the largest spread across all three resolutions. This indicates that at higher pixel counts, the graphical preset choice matters more for achieving consistent frame pacing.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS for each resolution, and in this case every single setting combination clears that threshold.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with a recorded average FPS of 175.8. This leaves a massive margin above the 60 FPS playable standard, so users can enable the highest visual quality without concern.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best settings choice, delivering 160 FPS on average. The 1440p Ultra result is 15.8 FPS lower than the 1080p Ultra figure, but the margin over the playable threshold remains enormous.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the best settings option, with an average of 116.4 FPS. This is the closest any configuration comes to the 60 FPS line, but it still clears it by 56.4 FPS. All four presets at 4K are playable according to the verdict data, including Low at 176.1 FPS, Medium at 165.1 FPS, and High at 120.9 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling patterns across resolutions and presets reveal how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Inside. This game is not particularly demanding by modern standards, and the data reflects that the RTX 4070 Ti is carrying most of the load at every resolution.

When comparing the same preset across resolutions, the frame rate drops that occur as resolution increases are relatively mild. For example, at Ultra settings, the average FPS goes from 175.8 at 1080p to 160 at 1440p, a reduction of 15.8 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K Ultra drops the average from 160 to 116.4 FPS, a reduction of 43.6 FPS. This larger drop when moving to 4K indicates that the GPU becomes more heavily utilized at higher pixel counts, as expected.

The Low preset shows a different scaling pattern. At 1080p Low, the average is 232 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 211.1 FPS, and at 4K Low it reaches 176.1 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is 20.9 FPS, while the reduction from 1440p to 4K is 35 FPS. The relatively small drops at lower settings suggest that the CPU can keep up with the GPU even when the rendering load is lightened.

The Medium preset follows a similar trajectory: 212.7 FPS at 1080p, 191.1 FPS at 1440p, and 165.1 FPS at 4K. The High preset goes from 178.4 FPS at 1080p to 159.6 FPS at 1440p to 120.9 FPS at 4K.

The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Comet Lake part with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, has a percentile rank of 68 against all CPUs in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 10283, and its single-core score is 1451. These figures indicate a solid mid-range processor that is not the bottleneck in this pairing. The GPU, with a percentile rank of 84 against all GPUs, is the stronger component in absolute terms, and its Passmark G3D score of 31624 confirms its high-end positioning.

The fact that even at 1080p Low, the average FPS only reaches 232 suggests that the CPU is not artificially limiting the frame rate, but the game's engine may have a natural ceiling or the CPU is approaching its limit at that point. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the resolution increase produces the largest relative performance drop.
