Inside

Can Intel Core i5-13400F + AMD Radeon RX 6600 run Inside? Benchmark data confirms this pairing delivers smooth, playable frame rates across the board, with the only compromise appearing at 4K resolution. The data shows the combination ranks 2869th among 3716 tested combos for this game, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database, yet the actual performance numbers tell a far more favorable story for this specific title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which produces an average of 122 FPS. This is the maximum quality setting available, and the frame rate comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold with substantial headroom.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is also Ultra, delivering an average of 88 FPS. Again, the highest quality preset clears the 60 FPS bar, though with less margin than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. Ultra drops to 55 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold. High averages 58 FPS, also short of the mark. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers an average of 93 FPS. Low runs at 116 FPS average, but Medium is the highest preset meeting the playability criterion.

FAQ

At 2560x1440, it ranges from 126 to 170 FPS with a 148 average. At 3840x2160, it ranges from 79 to 107 FPS with a 93 average. The spread is consistent, indicating no major frame-time spikes.

Q: Does this combo rank well among all tested systems for this game?

A: The combination ranks 2869 out of 3716 tested combos, placing it in the lower 23% of the database. Despite this low relative ranking, the actual frame rates are well above playable thresholds at all resolutions except 4K Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-13400F's nearest rivals are all within 0.4% of its average benchmark score of 25292. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25284) and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25201) are essentially identical in performance, making them direct substitutes for gaming workloads in this title. The Intel Core 5 120 (25362) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365) are marginally faster by 0.3%, which would produce imperceptible differences in Inside. Any of these processors would deliver the same playable experience.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 6600's average benchmark score of 19036 is matched by the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 (19030), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile (19049), NVIDIA Tesla K20m (19089), and NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation (18954). The delta percentages range from -0.3% to +0.4%, meaning all four alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside. A system swapping in any of these GPUs would see the same performance profile: playable at 1080p Ultra, playable at 1440p Ultra, and limited to Medium at 4K.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Inside? Yes, with qualifications depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the system runs every preset including Ultra above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 122 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four settings—High, Low, Medium, and Ultra—are playable, with Ultra averaging 88 FPS. At 3840x2160, the verdict is mixed: Low (116 FPS) and Medium (93 FPS) are playable, but High (58 FPS) and Ultra (55 FPS) fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The verdictByResolution data confirms this: 1080p and 1440p list all settings as playable, while 4K lists only Low and Medium.

The clear recommendation is to run Ultra at both 1080p and 1440p for the best visual experience without sacrificing smoothness. At 4K, Medium is the optimal choice, offering 93 FPS average and a 79-107 FPS range. Pushing to High or Ultra at 4K sacrifices the 60 FPS guarantee for marginal visual gains.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080:

• Low: 257 FPS average
• Medium: 206 FPS average, 175 minimum, 237 maximum
• High: 129 FPS average
• Ultra: 122 FPS average

The gap between Low and Medium is 51 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is 77 FPS. Ultra is only 7 FPS below High, showing diminishing returns at the top end.

2560x1440:

• Low: 185 FPS average
• Medium: 148 FPS average, 126 minimum, 170 maximum
• High: 92 FPS average
• Ultra: 88 FPS average

The transition from Low to Medium costs 37 FPS, while Medium to High costs 56 FPS. High and Ultra are nearly identical, differing by just 4 FPS.

3840x2160:

• Low: 116 FPS average
• Medium: 93 FPS average, 79 minimum, 107 maximum
• High: 58 FPS average
• Ultra: 55 FPS average

Here, the step from Medium to High is a steep 35 FPS loss, pushing the frame rate below the playability threshold. High and Ultra are both sub-60 FPS, with only 3 FPS separating them.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F + AMD Radeon RX 6600 combination ranks 2869th out of 3716 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the bottom 23% of all systems in the database. The low ranking is somewhat misleading given the actual gameplay results—the game is not demanding, and this mid-range hardware handles it comfortably at most settings.

The CPU itself sits in the 77th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25292. The GPU is in the 63rd percentile against all GPUs, averaging 19036. The combination's modest rank likely reflects the sheer number of higher-end systems in the database rather than any deficiency in this pairing for Inside specifically.

For context, the CPU's nearest rivals—the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, Intel Core 5 120, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, and AMD Ryzen 7 6800H—all perform within 0.4% of the i5-13400F. The GPU's nearest rivals, including the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 and GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile, are similarly close. Any of these swaps would produce nearly identical frame rates and the same rank position.

The data shows a system that is overkill for 1080p, comfortable at 1440p, and only constrained at 4K Ultra. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, the playable thresholds are met with room to spare across most configurations.
