Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for the Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 shows that this combination delivers extremely high frame rates in Inside, with every tested resolution and preset landing far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The measured values are average FPS figures; no minimum or maximum values were recorded in the database for this title.

At 1920x1080, the combo is effectively uncapped by the game’s demands. Low settings return an average of 233.8 FPS, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset for this pairing. Medium settings drop that to 214.4 FPS, High settings produce 179.1 FPS, and Ultra settings still maintain 176.7 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 57.1 FPS, indicating that visual quality has a measurable but modest impact on performance at this resolution. Even the most demanding setting at 1080p leaves enormous headroom above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern continues with similarly strong results. Low settings average 207.9 FPS, Medium settings follow at 192 FPS, High settings deliver 158.9 FPS, and Ultra settings land at 160.3 FPS. Notably, the Ultra preset at 1440p actually produces a slightly higher average than High, which suggests the game’s High and Ultra configurations may not differ substantially in GPU load for this particular scene or workload. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 47.6 FPS, a narrower gap than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5070 still has no trouble keeping this game well above 60 FPS. Low settings yield 176 FPS, Medium settings reach 167 FPS, High settings average 111.6 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 106.2 FPS. The step from Medium to High is the largest single-preset drop in the entire dataset, a 55.4 FPS reduction, while High to Ultra only costs another 5.4 FPS. This implies that the High preset introduces a significant rendering cost over Medium, but Ultra is comparatively inexpensive on top of High. Even at 4K Ultra, the combination remains 46.2 FPS above the playable threshold.

Across all resolutions, the lowest recorded average is 106.2 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra. No measured configuration falls below 100 FPS. The data shows a consistent 1080p to 1440p transition cost of roughly 10-15% depending on the preset, while the 1440p to 4K transition is more severe, particularly for High and Ultra settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU pairing at position 1694 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. That places it in the upper half of all recorded systems, at roughly the 54th percentile of tested combos. The rank reflects the combined contribution of the Intel Core i5-10400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, not just the GPU alone.

Given that Inside is a puzzle platformer with modest graphical demands, the rank is somewhat lower than the raw hardware scores might suggest. The RTX 5070 sits at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the i5-10400F is at the 68th percentile among all CPUs. The game’s relatively light workload means that even mid-range hardware can achieve high frame rates, which compresses the performance curve and makes the combo’s standing less dominant than in more demanding titles.

The measured FPS values are far above what the rank alone would imply. A combo ranking in the 54th percentile still delivers over 176 FPS at 4K Low and over 106 FPS at 4K Ultra. This disconnect between rank and raw playability is characteristic of older or less demanding games where the ceiling is set by engine limits or CPU overhead rather than GPU capability.

The i5-10400F’s six cores and twelve threads, with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, are sufficient to feed the RTX 5070 in this title. The GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are far beyond what Inside requires. The database does not record any bottlenecking or frame time issues for this pairing, and the consistently high averages support that conclusion.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-10400F, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Xeon 6756E, which scores 14163 with a delta of 0.2% relative to the i5-10400F’s average benchmark score of 14185. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, a 0.5% difference. On the other side, the Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, which is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% higher. These CPUs would all be expected to perform nearly identically to the i5-10400F in Inside, since the game’s CPU demands are modest and all four rivals have similar aggregate compute scores.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070’s nearest rivals are all AMD Radeon Pro cards, which is an unusual grouping. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 40318, just 0.1% below the RTX 5070’s average benchmark score of 40377. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063, a 0.8% deficit. On the higher side, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, which is 1.2% above, and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile scores 39568, a 2% deficit. In practice, any of these GPUs would deliver frame rates within a few percentage points of the RTX 5070 in Inside, meaning they would all comfortably exceed 100 FPS at 4K Ultra and likely exceed 160 FPS at 1440p Ultra.

The database’s rival grouping suggests that the RTX 5070’s raw compute performance is comparable to a set of workstation-oriented GPUs, which are not typically associated with gaming. However, the measured FPS data for the RTX 5070 in Inside shows that this card is overwhelmingly capable for this game, and the rivals would behave similarly only if their drivers and game optimizations match.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Inside, and it does so with exceptional margin. The verdict data lists every tested resolution and preset as playable. At 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with the best settings at Ultra producing an average of 106.2 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 160.3 FPS. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 176.7 FPS.

The playable threshold in the database is 60 FPS, and the lowest recorded average across the entire dataset is 106.2 FPS. This means the combination clears the threshold by at least 46.2 FPS even in the most demanding configuration tested. There is no resolution or preset in the recorded data where this system drops to or below 60 FPS.

The verdict is unambiguous: the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 are overqualified for Inside. The game is a puzzle platformer from 2016, and the hardware is from the 2025 GPU generation paired with a 2020 CPU. The GPU alone, with 6144 shading units and 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, is far beyond the needs of this title.

For players who prioritize visual fidelity, the 4K Ultra setting at 106.2 FPS is the best choice. For those with high refresh rate displays, 1440p Ultra at 160.3 FPS or 1080p Ultra at 176.7 FPS will take full advantage of 144 Hz or 165 Hz panels. No settings adjustment is necessary to achieve a smooth experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 176.7 FPS. This is the highest quality setting tested and it still delivers nearly triple the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset is also Ultra, averaging 160.3 FPS. The gap between Ultra and the next highest preset, High at 158.9 FPS, is only 1.4 FPS, so there is no practical reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, Ultra is again the most demanding preset that remains playable, with an average of 106.2 FPS. High settings at 4K produce 111.6 FPS, but Ultra’s higher visual quality costs only 5.4 FPS relative to High, making Ultra the clear recommendation.

In all three resolutions, the Ultra preset is both the most demanding and the best choice, because the hardware has enough headroom to render the highest quality settings while remaining at least 46.2 FPS above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The database records no scenario where dropping to a lower preset is necessary.
