Inside

The Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT form a mid-range pairing from roughly the same era — a 10-core Raptor Lake CPU sitting in the 77th percentile of all tested processors, mated to a 12 GB RDNA 2 card in the 71st GPU percentile. Against Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer from Playdead, the question is not really whether this hardware can run the game — measured data shows it clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset — but rather how much headroom it retains as pixel counts climb. The results suggest an enormous amount.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the CPU side, the i5-13400F's average benchmark score of 25292 places it in a tight cluster of processors that would behave nearly identically in this game. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS posts an average score of 25284 — a difference of effectively zero percent. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D sit at 25362 and 25365 respectively, both 0.3 percent ahead. The Ryzen 7 6800H trails by just 0.4 percent at 25201. Within a spread of roughly a tenth of a percent in either direction, any of these chips paired with the same GPU would produce indistinguishable Inside results. Inside is a game where single-thread snappiness matters more than raw thread count, and the 13400F's single-thread credentials — a 960 in 3DMark single-thread and 3634 in PassMark single-thread — are more than adequate.

For the GPU, the RX 6750 XT's average score of 26011 has similarly close neighbors. The AMD Radeon R9 M395X averages 25891 (0.5 percent behind), the FirePro W7100 averages 25856 (0.6 percent behind), and the FirePro D700 averages 25842 (0.7 percent behind). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, at 25740, is 1.1 percent behind. Anyone running this game on one of those alternatives should expect the same story: triple-digit frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, and comfortable 4K play.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data is unambiguous. At every resolution, the most demanding preset — Ultra — remains above the 60 FPS threshold:

• 1920x1080 — Ultra: 170.2 FPS average. Even the max preset runs at nearly three times the playable threshold.
• 2560x1440 — Ultra: 123.7 FPS average. Doubling the pixel count costs only about 47 FPS at Ultra.
• 3840x2160 — Ultra: 74.2 FPS average. The single most demanding combination tested still clears 60 FPS with room to spare.

The verdict fields confirm it: playableSettings lists all four presets at all three resolutions, and bestSettings is Ultra everywhere. There is no settings compromise required with this hardware in this game.

CPU and GPU Roles

Which component is the limiting factor? The scaling data points firmly at the GPU. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra drops the average from 170.2 to 123.7 FPS; moving again to 4K drops it to 74.2 FPS. That is resolution-driven scaling — the classic signature of a GPU-bound scenario. If the CPU were the ceiling, frame rates would flatten as resolution rose, and they do not.

The preset scaling reinforces the picture. At 1080p, dropping from Ultra to Low takes the average from 170.2 to 334.6 FPS — nearly a doubling. At 4K, the same drop goes from 74.2 to 158 FPS. Frame rate responds strongly to render load changes, which is what happens when the graphics card, not the processor, is the constraint. Notably, even the 1080p Low figure of 334.6 FPS suggests the i5-13400F never becomes a practical bottleneck; a weaker CPU would have shown this number pinned lower.

It is worth questioning whether the 13400F's 10 cores and 16 threads are "used" at all here. Almost certainly not — Inside launched in 2016 and its demands are modest. The CPU's role is essentially to stay out of the way, and the data indicates it does.

FAQ

**Q: Can the i5-13400F + RX 6750 XT run Inside at 4K on max settings?

A:** Yes. At 3840x2160 on Ultra, the average frame rate is 74.2 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four presets at 4K are playable.

**Q: What is the highest frame rate recorded for this combo in Inside?

A:** 334.6 FPS, at 1920x1080 on the Low preset.

**Q: Which preset should I use at 1440p?

A:** Ultra. It averages 123.7 FPS at 2560x1440 — more than double the playable threshold — so there is no reason to step down.

**Q: How close are rival CPUs to the i5-13400F for this game?

A:** Extremely close. The Ryzen 9 6900HS matches it exactly (0 percent delta), while the Core 5 120, Ryzen 5 5600X3D, and Ryzen 7 6800H are all within 0.4 percent.

**Q: How does this pairing rank among tested combos for Inside?

A:** It ranks 1627 out of 3716 tested combinations — roughly the middle of the field — despite posting frame rates far above the threshold, reflecting how many stronger combos have also been measured in this undemanding title.

**Q: Is the RX 6750 XT still in production?

A:** No. Its production status is End-of-life, though it remains widely available and fully capable based on this data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured average frame rates; minimum and maximum values were not recorded in this dataset.

1920x1080:

| Preset | Avg FPS |

|---|---|

| Low | 334.6 |

| Medium | 281.6 |

| High | 177.4 |

| Ultra | 170.2 |

2560x1440:

| Preset | Avg FPS |

|---|---|

| Low | 251.7 |

| Medium | 202.2 |

| High | 129.7 |

| Ultra | 123.7 |

3840x2160:

| Preset | Avg FPS |

|---|---|

| Low | 158 |

| Medium | 129.7 |

| High | 78.5 |

| Ultra | 74.2 |

A curious pattern: 1440p High and 4K Medium both average 129.7 FPS, an identical figure that hints at where the render load intersects. The gap between High and Ultra is small at every resolution — under 6 FPS — suggesting Ultra adds relatively little cost relative to High, while the step from Medium to High is the expensive one (202.2 to 129.7 at 1440p, for instance).

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing ranks 1627 out of 3716 tested combinations in Inside. That places it just below the midpoint of the field. The interpretation requires care: a middling rank here does not mean middling performance. It means the database contains large numbers of configurations — including many stronger CPUs and GPUs — tested against a 2016 title that scales generously with hardware. Frame rates north of 300 FPS at 1080p Low are achievable by mid-range parts precisely because the game asks so little. The rank is best read as a statement about the competitive density of the results table, not a criticism of this hardware.

The Verdict

Yes — emphatically. The Intel Core i5-13400F + AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT runs Inside at every tested resolution and every preset above the 60 FPS threshold:

• 1920x1080: all presets playable; best is Ultra at 170.2 FPS.
• 2560x1440: all presets playable; best is Ultra at 123.7 FPS.
• 3840x2160: all presets playable; best is Ultra at 74.2 FPS.

The only configuration that even approaches the threshold is 4K Ultra at 74.2 FPS, and that still clears it by a double-digit margin. For a 1080p or 1440p display, this pairing transforms Inside from a question of playability into a question of high-refresh enjoyment. The data shows a GPU-bound, CPU-relaxed profile with headroom to spare at every tier of image quality.
