Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Intel Core i5-12400F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 310 FPS, while Medium settings average 248 FPS with a recorded minimum of 210 FPS and a maximum of 285 FPS. High settings average 155 FPS, and Ultra settings average 147 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, at 163 FPS on average, indicating that the GPU is not the limiting factor at this resolution even at maximum graphical load. The minimum FPS recorded at Medium settings, 210 FPS, still sits far above the 60 FPS playable threshold, so frame pacing concerns at 1080p are minimal.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates remain high but drop noticeably from the 1080p results. Low settings average 223 FPS, Medium settings average 178 FPS with a minimum of 151 FPS and a maximum of 205 FPS. High settings average 111 FPS, and Ultra settings average 106 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 117 FPS on average, which narrows compared with 1080p. This suggests that the GPU begins to take on more responsibility as pixel count increases, though the overall performance envelope is still comfortable for high refresh rate monitors. The minimum FPS at Medium settings, 151 FPS, remains well above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the scaling pattern continues. Low settings average 140 FPS, Medium settings average 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 129 FPS. High settings average 70 FPS, and Ultra settings average 67 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 73 FPS on average, the smallest of the three resolutions. This is a clear sign that the GPU is now the dominant performance factor. The recorded minimum at Medium settings, 95 FPS, still clears the 60 FPS threshold, but the margin is much thinner at Ultra, where the average is only 7 FPS above the playable line. The data indicates that 4K Ultra is achievable, but there is little headroom for scenes that might cause transient drops below the average.

Across all settings, the highest average FPS recorded anywhere is 310 FPS at 1080p Low, and the lowest average FPS is 67 FPS at 2160p Ultra. The Medium setting tier at each resolution follows a consistent order: Low, Medium, High, then Ultra. The min and max values are only available for the Medium preset at each resolution, so the full variance picture for other presets is not recorded in the database.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, every recorded preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 147 FPS. This means the full visual quality stack is usable at 1080p without any compromise. The data shows no reason to drop below Ultra for frame rate reasons alone, since even the heaviest settings leave more than double the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies. Ultra settings average 106 FPS, which is still comfortably above 60 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, is therefore the recommended starting point at this resolution. The margin is smaller than at 1080p, but 46 FPS of headroom above the threshold is enough for most gameplay scenarios. The database does not record any preset at 1440p that fails to reach 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings average 67 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a narrow margin. This is the most demanding configuration tested in the database, and it remains playable. Medium settings average 112 FPS and High settings average 70 FPS, but since Ultra is the highest preset and it still holds above 60 FPS, Ultra is the best setting at 4K. The 67 FPS average leaves only 7 FPS of headroom, so users who prioritize frame rate stability over absolute visual quality might prefer High at 70 FPS or Medium at 112 FPS, but the strict answer from the data is that Ultra passes the playable bar.

In summary, the best settings per resolution are Ultra at 1080p at 147 FPS, Ultra at 1440p at 106 FPS, and Ultra at 2160p at 67 FPS. All three clear the 60 FPS threshold, with the 4K result being the only one with a narrow margin.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS data allows a clear separation of CPU and GPU influence. At 1920x1080, the average frame rate at Low settings is 310 FPS, while at Ultra it drops to 147 FPS. The difference of 163 FPS is driven almost entirely by the GPU workload, since the CPU has ample headroom at this resolution. The fact that the frame rate does not plateau at lower settings suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck even at the highest presets.

At 2560x1440, the Low average is 223 FPS and the Ultra average is 106 FPS. The delta between presets is 117 FPS, which is smaller than at 1080p. This reduction in spread indicates that the GPU is starting to catch up with the CPU's output. The CPU still has enough performance to feed the GPU at 1440p, but the GPU's rendering cost per frame is higher.

At 3840x2160, the Low average is 140 FPS and the Ultra average is 67 FPS, a delta of 73 FPS. This is the smallest preset spread across all resolutions. The GPU is now the dominant component: at 4K, the pixel throughput requirement grows faster than the CPU's frame generation capacity, so the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases.

The scaling between resolutions at the same preset reinforces this. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average from 310 FPS to 223 FPS, a drop of 87 FPS, and moving to 2160p reduces it further to 140 FPS. At Ultra settings, the 1080p to 1440p drop is from 147 FPS to 106 FPS, and the 1440p to 2160p drop is from 106 FPS to 67 FPS. The percentage losses are larger at Low settings because the CPU is less involved, while at Ultra settings the GPU workload masks some of the CPU's capability. For this game, the Intel Core i5-12400F is more than sufficient at all tested resolutions, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the component that determines the ceiling for 4K performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination ranks 2087 out of 3716 tested combos in the database for Inside. This places it in the upper-middle portion of the overall distribution, above the median of 1858. The rank reflects the fact that this game is not extremely demanding, so even mid-range hardware can achieve high frame rates. The CPU alone sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs. The combination's ranking is slightly lower than the CPU's percentile would suggest, which is consistent with the GPU being the limiting factor at higher resolutions. Within the context of all tested combos, a rank of 2087 means there are 1629 combos that perform better and 2086 that perform worse. The data shows that this system is not at the top of the charts, but it is comfortably above the midpoint, and the measured FPS results confirm that it handles Inside with substantial margin at all tested settings.

The Verdict

The data says yes, this PC can run Inside. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 147 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 106 FPS. At 3840x2160, all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 67 FPS. The verdict by resolution lists every preset as playable at every resolution. The weakest result is 2160p Ultra at 67 FPS, which is playable but leaves only 7 FPS of headroom. For users with a 60 Hz display at 4K, this is sufficient. For users targeting 144 Hz at 1080p, the system delivers 147 FPS at Ultra and 310 FPS at Low, making it more than capable. At 1440p, the 106 FPS Ultra average supports high refresh rate monitors as well. The only caveat is 4K Ultra's narrow margin, but the recorded data does not show any preset dropping below the playable threshold.
