Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Inside on this Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 combination shows a wide performance spread across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the benchmark results indicate that the game is highly playable across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 132.9 FPS, Medium settings yield 108.7 FPS, and both High and Ultra settings land near each other at 66.4 FPS and 66.1 FPS respectively. The close grouping of High and Ultra suggests that the additional visual fidelity at Ultra does not impose a significant extra load on this hardware at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down noticeably. Low settings deliver a robust 94.9 FPS average, while Medium settings maintain a solid 79.9 FPS. High settings drop to 48.7 FPS, and Ultra settings are similar at 49.2 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is substantial, roughly 31 FPS, indicating that the High preset introduces rendering features that this GPU handles with considerably more difficulty at this pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the hardware struggles with heavier presets. Low settings still manage an average of 63.2 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings fall to 50 FPS, while High and Ultra both sit near 29 FPS, with High at 29.2 FPS and Ultra at 29.5 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium at 4K is steep, about 13 FPS, and the further drop to High or Ultra is another 20 FPS, showing that the RX 570's capabilities are quickly exhausted above Low at this resolution.

The measured data does not include minimum or maximum frame rate values, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. This means that potential frame time spikes or drops below the average are not captured in the database. However, the averages themselves are consistent across repeated measurements for each preset and resolution, providing a reliable baseline for comparison.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this system in Inside?

A: The highest average FPS recorded is 132.9, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings.

Q: Can this system run Inside at 3840x2160 with Medium settings at 60 FPS?

A: No. The average FPS at 3840x2160 with Medium settings is 50, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: Which resolution and preset combination delivers the closest average FPS to the 60 FPS threshold without exceeding it?

A: At 2560x1440 with High settings, the average FPS is 48.7, which is below 60. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average is 66.4, which is above 60. The closest value below 60 is 50 FPS at 3840x2160 Medium, while the closest value above 60 is 63.2 FPS at 3840x2160 Low.

Q: Is the RX 570's performance at 4K High settings better or worse than at 4K Ultra?

A: The performance is nearly identical. High settings average 29.2 FPS, and Ultra settings average 29.5 FPS. The difference is only 0.3 FPS, which is within measurement variance.

Q: What is the average FPS at 2560x1440 Medium, and does it meet the playable threshold?

A: The average FPS at 2560x1440 Medium is 79.9, which exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold by a comfortable margin.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average is identified from the measured data.

At 3840x2160, the only preset that clears 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 63.2 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the threshold, so Low is the recommended setting for this resolution if a 60 FPS average is required.

At 2560x1440, both Low and Medium presets exceed 60 FPS. Low averages 94.9 FPS, while Medium averages 79.9 FPS. Since Medium is more demanding than Low and still maintains a comfortable margin above the threshold, it is the best setting for this resolution. High and Ultra presets drop to 48.7 FPS and 49.2 FPS respectively, which are not playable at 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 132.9 FPS, Medium averages 108.7 FPS, High averages 66.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 66.1 FPS. Ultra is the most demanding preset and still averages 66.1 FPS, making it the best setting for this resolution. The very small difference between High and Ultra, only 0.3 FPS, suggests that Ultra does not meaningfully reduce performance compared to High.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Inside, but the playable experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold on every preset, from Low at 132.9 FPS to Ultra at 66.1 FPS. This makes 1080p the most versatile resolution for this combination, as it allows the user to select any preset without concern for falling below 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable on Low and Medium presets, with averages of 94.9 FPS and 79.9 FPS respectively. High and Ultra presets fall below the threshold, so users targeting 1440p will need to stick with Medium or lower to maintain smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset achieves a playable average of 63.2 FPS. Medium drops to 50 FPS, and both High and Ultra hover around 29 FPS. The verdict by resolution confirms these findings: 3840x2160 has Low as the only playable setting, 2560x1440 has Low and Medium as playable, and 1920x1080 has all four presets as playable. The overall conclusion is that this system is well suited for 1080p gaming with Inside, capable at 1440p with reduced settings, and limited to Low settings at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks at position 3510 out of 3716 tested combinations in the database for Inside. This places the combo in the lower percentile of all tested systems, around the 94th percentile from the top, meaning that roughly 94% of tested combinations perform better in this game. The rank reflects the overall average FPS across all measured settings and resolutions, weighted by the playable threshold.

Despite the low overall rank, the system still achieves playable frame rates at 1080p on all presets and at 1440p on Low and Medium. The rank is dragged down by the poor performance at 4K High and Ultra, where the average FPS falls to the 29 range. The data shows that this combo is not competitive with higher-end hardware in demanding scenarios, but it is sufficient for the game at lower resolutions and presets. The rank of 3510 out of 3716 indicates that while the system is not among the strongest, it is also not the absolute weakest, as 206 combinations perform worse.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Inside. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary limiting factor when moving from Low to Ultra. The average FPS drops from 132.9 at Low to 66.1 at Ultra, a reduction of about 50%. This large scaling with preset changes indicates that the GPU's shading units, texture units, and ROPs are heavily utilized as visual complexity increases, while the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at these frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes even more pronounced. The Low preset averages 94.9 FPS, but High and Ultra drop to 48.7 and 49.2 FPS respectively. The scaling from Medium to High is particularly steep, going from 79.9 FPS to 48.7 FPS, a 39% reduction. This suggests that the High preset introduces effects such as improved lighting or shadows that heavily tax the RX 570's compute resources. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is unlikely to be a bottleneck at this resolution, as the frame rates are still well above 60 FPS on Low and Medium.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the dominant constraint. The Low preset averages 63.2 FPS, but Medium drops to 50 FPS, and High and Ultra fall to around 29 FPS. The pixel count at 4K quadruples the workload compared to 1080p, and the RX 570's 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain smooth frame rates at higher presets. The CPU's role at 4K is minimal, as even the fastest processor cannot compensate for the GPU's inability to fill pixels at this resolution.

The scaling between resolutions confirms this division: at Low settings, the FPS drops from 132.9 at 1080p to 94.9 at 1440p to 63.2 at 4K, a consistent reduction that tracks with pixel count. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 66.1 at 1080p to 49.2 at 1440p to 29.5 at 4K, showing an even steeper decline. The data indicates that users should prioritize GPU settings over CPU settings when optimizing for higher resolutions, while at 1080p, both components have sufficient headroom to allow any preset.
