Inside

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti lands at rank 1030 out of 3716 tested combinations in Inside. That places this setup in the upper third of all recorded configurations, a strong result for a puzzle platformer that is not particularly demanding on modern hardware. The ranking reflects the raw throughput of both components rather than game-specific tuning, since Inside is a title where frame pacing and consistency matter more than brute force.

The RTX 4070 Ti sits in the 84th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 44795. Its nearest rivals include the RTX 5090 Mobile at 45152 (0.8% higher), the Radeon Pro 5500 XT at 45384 (1.3% higher), the RTX A6000 at 44075 (1.6% lower), and the Arc A730M at 45592 (1.7% higher). The delta between the 4070 Ti and these alternatives is small, meaning any of those cards would deliver nearly identical performance in this game.

The Core i5-11400F reaches the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17177. Its nearest rivals are the EPYC 7H12 at 17120 (0.3% lower), the Core i5-12450H at 17239 (0.4% higher), the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G at 17278 (0.6% higher), and the Core Ultra 7 164U at 17074 (0.6% lower). The CPU is not a bottleneck here; the data shows that even at 1080p Ultra, the combo sustains over 200 FPS, which suggests the processor keeps pace with the GPU across all settings.

The combination rank of 1030 out of 3716 puts this build ahead of roughly 72% of all tested configurations. That is a comfortable margin, especially considering Inside is a 2016 title with modest system requirements. The verdict is simple: this PC does not merely run Inside, it demolishes it.

FAQ

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components, several configurations would behave nearly identically to this combo in Inside. The GPU comparisons show that the RTX 5090 Mobile, Radeon Pro 5500 XT, RTX A6000, and Arc A730M all fall within 1.7% of the RTX 4070 Ti's average benchmark score. In a game like Inside, where frame rates hover between 119 and 274 FPS depending on resolution and settings, a 1.7% difference translates to roughly 2 to 4 FPS, which is imperceptible in practice.

On the CPU side, the EPYC 7H12, Core i5-12450H, Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, and Core Ultra 7 164U all sit within 0.6% of the Core i5-11400F's average score. That means swapping the CPU for any of these would produce virtually identical frame rates in Inside, provided the GPU remains the same. The EPYC 7H12 is a server part, but its score of 17120 is only 0.3% lower than the i5-11400F, so it would perform equally well in this title.

For a full system swap, pairing any of the four rival GPUs with any of the four rival CPUs would yield the same playable experience at all three resolutions. The data shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is so far above the performance ceiling for Inside that even a slightly slower GPU would still clear 60 FPS at 4K Ultra. The closest alternative, the RTX A6000 at 1.6% lower score, would still deliver roughly 117 FPS at 4K Ultra, well above the threshold.

The Arc A730M, despite being a mobile GPU, posts a score 1.7% higher than the 4070 Ti. That suggests it would match or slightly exceed the frame rates recorded here, though the comparison is against the 4070 Ti's desktop-oriented specifications. The Radeon Pro 5500 XT and RTX 5090 Mobile similarly bracket the 4070 Ti within a narrow band, making any of these viable substitutes for Inside specifically.

The Verdict

This combination can run Inside at every resolution and preset tested, with average frame rates ranging from 119.1 FPS at 4K Ultra to 273.9 FPS at 1080p Low. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and all twelve measured configurations clear it by a wide margin. The verdict by resolution confirms that 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080 all support High, Low, Medium, and Ultra settings without dipping below playable performance.

The weakest recorded result is 119.1 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still 98.5% above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, the lowest average is 183.3 FPS (Ultra), and at 1080p, the lowest is 209.2 FPS (Ultra). The RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for Inside's visual style, which favors atmospheric lighting and silhouettes over dense geometry.

For a game released in 2016, this hardware is overkill. The data indicates that even the most demanding preset at the highest resolution leaves enormous headroom. Players could enable every visual feature and still expect triple-digit frame rates, making this combo a no-compromise solution for Inside.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, with average frame rates as follows:

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: 208.0 FPS
• Medium: 195.7 FPS
• High: 122.3 FPS
• Ultra: 119.1 FPS

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: 242.7 FPS
• Medium: 227.8 FPS
• High: 185.7 FPS
• Ultra: 183.3 FPS

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: 273.9 FPS
• Medium: 252.1 FPS
• High: 210.7 FPS
• Ultra: 209.2 FPS

The pattern is consistent: Low and Medium presets deliver the highest frame rates, while High and Ultra sit closer together. At 4K, the gap between Medium (195.7 FPS) and High (122.3 FPS) is 73.4 FPS, a significant drop that suggests High enables certain effects that Medium disables. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 3.2 FPS, indicating diminishing returns beyond High.

At 1440p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 59.4 FPS, with Medium (227.8 FPS) and High (185.7 FPS) straddling the midpoint. At 1080p, the spread narrows to 64.7 FPS, with Low at 273.9 FPS and Ultra at 209.2 FPS. The minimum and maximum frame rates are not recorded in the database, so only averages are available for analysis.

Resolution scaling is predictable: dropping from 4K to 1440p improves frame rates by roughly 54% at Ultra (119.1 to 183.3 FPS), and from 1440p to 1080p by another 14% at Ultra (183.3 to 209.2 FPS). The GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate handle Inside's 2D-like rendering with ease.

Best Settings per Resolution

At each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, and the data shows the average frame rate at that preset:

3840x2160: Ultra at 119.1 FPS. This is the highest quality setting at 4K, and it still delivers nearly double the playable threshold. All four presets are viable, but Ultra offers the best visual experience without any performance penalty.

2560x1440: Ultra at 183.3 FPS. At this resolution, Ultra runs at more than three times the 60 FPS threshold. The jump from 4K Ultra (119.1 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (183.3 FPS) is substantial, making 1440p the sweet spot for high refresh rate displays.

1920x1080: Ultra at 209.2 FPS. At 1080p, Ultra clears 200 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz or 165Hz monitors. Low runs at 273.9 FPS, but there is no reason to drop below Ultra when the frame rate remains so high.

The verdict is uniform across all resolutions: choose Ultra and never look back. The RTX 4070 Ti's performance in Inside is so far above the requirement that settings selection becomes purely a matter of visual preference, not performance necessity. Even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains a 98.5% margin over the 60 FPS playable threshold, making this one of the most comfortable pairings in the database for this particular game.
