Inside

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a decisive performance surplus for Inside at every tested resolution. Across all three resolutions—1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160—the combination exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold even at the highest preset. The data indicates that users can confidently select the Ultra preset at any resolution and still experience frame rates well above the playable mark, with the most demanding 4K configuration averaging 76.2 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the optimal choice, delivering an average of 169 FPS. This represents a 108.1 FPS margin over the 60 FPS playable threshold, leaving substantial headroom for any potential frame-time spikes or demanding scene transitions. The High preset at this resolution yields 176.1 FPS, but the difference is marginal, making Ultra the clear recommendation for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again stands as the best option, maintaining an average of 120.9 FPS. This is more than double the 60 FPS requirement, indicating that the hardware combination has significant performance reserves at this resolution. The High preset achieves 128.9 FPS, but again, the visual gains from Ultra outweigh the minor performance cost.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset remains the most demanding setting that stays above 60 FPS, averaging 76.2 FPS. While this is the lowest average among the three resolutions, it still provides a comfortable 16.2 FPS cushion above the playable threshold. The High preset at this resolution reaches 78.1 FPS, showing that even the most graphics-intensive settings leave no room for compromise. The data confirms that no resolution requires a reduction below Ultra to achieve playable frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals a clear pattern where the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises, while the CPU’s role remains consistent but secondary. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is substantial—317.8 FPS versus 169 FPS—indicating that GPU load is the primary variable. However, even at Low settings, the frame rate does not exceed 317.8 FPS, suggesting that the Intel Core i5-12400 provides a sufficient but not unlimited ceiling for the game’s rendering pipeline.

At 2560x1440, the scaling from Low (251.8 FPS) to Ultra (120.9 FPS) demonstrates a similar GPU-bound behavior, with the frame rate dropping by approximately 52% between the two extremes. The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Ultra settings shows a reduction from 169 FPS to 120.9 FPS, a 28.5% decrease, which aligns with the increased pixel count requiring more GPU processing.

The 4K resolution amplifies this GPU dominance. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 76.2 FPS, while Low averages 157.5 FPS—a gap of 81.3 FPS. The scaling from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Ultra (120.9 FPS to 76.2 FPS) represents a 37% drop, further confirming that the Radeon RX 6750 XT is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU’s 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz appears more than adequate for Inside, as evidenced by the consistently high frame rates even at lower resolutions where CPU overhead would be more pronounced.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average frame rates span from 317.8 FPS at Low settings to 169 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset delivers 284.1 FPS, while High reaches 176.1 FPS. The progression from Low to Medium to High to Ultra shows a consistent decline, but even the lowest Ultra figure remains nearly three times the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 251.8 FPS (Low), 206.2 FPS (Medium), 128.9 FPS (High), and 120.9 FPS (Ultra). The step between High and Ultra is relatively small—only 8 FPS—suggesting diminishing returns from the highest preset tier at this resolution. The Low setting at 1440p still outperforms the Ultra setting at 4K, underscoring the resolution-dependent nature of the GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 157.5 FPS (Low), 124.8 FPS (Medium), 78.1 FPS (High), and 76.2 FPS (Ultra). The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 1.9 FPS, indicating that the difference between these presets is nearly imperceptible in terms of performance. The data lacks specific min and max frame rates, but the average figures across all twelve configurations consistently exceed the 60 FPS threshold, with the lowest recorded average being 76.2 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-12400, the processor’s average benchmark score of 18683 places it in close proximity to several alternatives. The AMD EPYC 7643 scores 18697, a mere 0.1% higher, indicating nearly identical CPU-bound performance for Inside. The Intel Core i7-1355U achieves 18730, 0.3% above the i5-12400, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 scores 18811, 0.7% higher. The Intel Core i3-14100F trails at 18519, 0.9% lower. For this game, any of these processors would yield comparable frame rates, though the i5-12400’s 6-core, 12-thread architecture with 18 MB of shared L3 cache provides a solid foundation for the game’s modest threading requirements.

For the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, the GPU’s average benchmark score of 26011 is closely matched by several alternatives. The AMD Radeon R9 M395X scores 25891, just 0.5% lower, suggesting similar rasterization performance. The AMD FirePro W7100 and FirePro D700 achieve 25856 and 25842, respectively—0.6% and 0.7% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile completes the list at 25740, 1.1% below the RX 6750 XT. None of these rivals would produce meaningfully different frame rates in Inside, as the game’s graphical demands are well within the capabilities of all these GPUs. The RX 6750 XT’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth provide ample resources for the game’s art style, which relies on atmospheric lighting and shadow work rather than texture-heavy assets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 1668 out of 3716 tested combos for Inside, placing it in the 55th percentile of all configurations. This mid-pack ranking might seem modest, but the context is crucial: the database includes many high-end and enthusiast-grade pairings that push far beyond this combo’s performance tier. The measured frame rates demonstrate that this rank does not reflect any playability concerns—the combo sits comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset. The ranking likely reflects the presence of numerous top-tier CPUs and GPUs that achieve even higher averages, particularly at lower resolutions where CPU headroom becomes more relevant.

The 1668th position out of 3716 combos indicates that roughly 55% of tested configurations perform better, but the absolute performance is so high that this percentile ranking has no practical impact on the gaming experience. At 4K Ultra, the combo still delivers 76.2 FPS, which is 27% above the playable threshold, leaving no scenario where the user would need to compromise settings.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside at the highest settings across all tested resolutions. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 169 FPS, at 2560x1440 it averages 120.9 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it averages 76.2 FPS. Every configuration—all four presets at all three resolutions—clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the lowest recorded average being 76.2 FPS at 4K Ultra. The data confirms that the Intel Core i5-12400 provides sufficient processing power to avoid bottlenecking the Radeon RX 6750 XT, as frame rates scale predictably with resolution changes. Users targeting 4K displays can enable Ultra without hesitation, while those on 1440p or 1080p monitors will experience frame rates well beyond what their displays can refresh. The only consideration is that the GPU’s performance at 4K, while playable, leaves less headroom for future game updates or more demanding scenes, but for Inside as tested, this combo delivers a flawless experience.
