Inside

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside across all tested resolutions and settings. The recorded data shows that this combination never dips below the 60 FPS playable threshold, even at 4K with Ultra settings, making it a top-tier performer for this puzzle platformer. The benchmark results indicate a system that has substantial headroom for this title, with average FPS figures ranging from 125.4 to 234.1 depending on resolution and preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of performance. All figures are average FPS, as the database did not record minimum or maximum frame times for this title.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the average FPS scales predictably with graphical intensity. The Low preset achieves an average of 179.9 FPS, while Medium sits at 162.5 FPS. High settings bring the average down to 133.1 FPS, and the most demanding Ultra preset still holds a strong 125.4 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 54.5 FPS, which translates to a 43.4% performance difference, showing that the RTX 4080 SUPER has enough raw compute to handle the heaviest load without dropping below triple-digit frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440 (QHD), the data shows even higher averages across the board. Low settings produce an average of 205.9 FPS, which is the second-highest recorded figure for this combo. Medium follows at 195 FPS, High at 162.1 FPS, and Ultra at 157.2 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 48.7 FPS, a 31% reduction. Notably, the step from Medium to High at QHD causes a 32.9 FPS drop, which is the largest single-step decline at any resolution, indicating that High settings introduce a significant workload increase relative to Medium.

At 1920x1080 (Full HD), the averages reach their peak. The Low preset records 234.1 FPS, which is the highest average in the entire dataset. Medium achieves 217.5 FPS, High hits 181.6 FPS, and Ultra settles at 178.5 FPS. The performance delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 55.6 FPS, a 23.7% reduction. Interestingly, the gap between High and Ultra at 1080p is only 3.1 FPS, suggesting that Ultra settings add minimal additional load over High at this resolution, likely due to the CPU or memory bandwidth becoming a more significant factor than the GPU.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: Low is the fastest, Ultra is the slowest, and the relative ordering of Medium and High is always preserved. The largest absolute performance difference appears between 1080p Low and 4K Ultra, a spread of 108.7 FPS. The data also shows that resolution scaling is not perfectly linear; moving from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra costs 21.3 FPS, while moving from 1440p to 4K at Ultra costs 31.8 FPS, indicating that 4K places a disproportionately higher load on the GPU.

Best Settings per Resolution

The best settings for each resolution are defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average FPS at or above 60. Based on the recorded data, this combo exceeds that threshold with every preset at every resolution, so the best settings are always the highest available.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 125.4. This is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold, providing comfortable headroom for any potential frame-time spikes or background system load. The data shows that even the heaviest preset at 4K leaves substantial performance on the table.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, achieving an average of 157.2 FPS. This represents a 31.8 FPS improvement over the 4K Ultra result, demonstrating that QHD is significantly less demanding on the GPU while still offering high visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, the best settings remain Ultra, with an average of 178.5 FPS. This is the highest average among the three Ultra presets and sits 118.5 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The data indicates that at 1080p, the combo is heavily GPU-bound only at Ultra, but even then, the RTX 4080 SUPER has ample compute to spare.

Since all measured presets at all resolutions clear the 60 FPS bar, the recommendation is straightforward: use Ultra everywhere. The lowest recorded average, 125.4 FPS at 4K Ultra, still offers a smooth experience on any display, including high-refresh-rate monitors. There is no scenario in the database where this combo would require lowering settings to maintain playability.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database provides nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU, based on average benchmark scores. These comparisons help contextualize how other hardware might behave in the same game.

For the Intel Core i5-10400F, the CPU has an average benchmark score of 14185. Its closest rival is the Intel Core 7 160UL, which scores 14232, a difference of only 0.3% in the CPU’s favor.
