Inside

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 delivers a remarkably consistent performance profile for Inside, a Puzzle Platformer from 2016. Across all three tested resolutions, every available preset—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, with average frame rates ranging from a low of 61.7 FPS at 4K Ultra to a high of 283.4 FPS at 1080p Low. The data indicates that this combination is not merely adequate for the game; it is overwhelmingly overqualified, providing maximum settings at every resolution without exception.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The benchmark data places the Intel Core i5-13400F in a tightly contested performance tier. Its average benchmark score of 25292 is essentially identical to that of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25284, showing a delta of 0%. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D both score 25362 and 25365 respectively, putting them just 0.3% ahead of the i5-13400F. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H trails by a margin of 0.4%, scoring 25201. For Inside, a game that does not demand significant CPU resources, any of these processors would yield nearly indistinguishable frame rates. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all tested CPUs further confirms its position as a solidly mid-to-upper-tier performer, though the game's low CPU overhead means that even a slower chip would likely not bottleneck the RX 7600.

On the graphics side, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 holds a 57th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15171. Its nearest rivals are clustered extremely close in raw compute power. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, a mere 0.2% higher. The AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics score 15270, sitting 0.7% above the RX 7600, while the AMD Radeon Pro 560X and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti score 15082 and 15063 respectively, trailing by 0.6% and 0.7%. In practical terms for Inside, a system with any of these GPUs would deliver comparable performance, although the RX 7600's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth provide a modern foundation that older rivals lack. The performance delta between these GPUs is so small that it would be invisible in this particular game, where even the lowest-performing rival GPU would still comfortably exceed 60 FPS at 1080p.

CPU and GPU Roles

For Inside, the data clearly shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance scaling, while the CPU plays a minimal role. This is evident from the frame rate progression across resolutions. At 1080p Ultra, the system produces 133.9 FPS, which drops to 95.3 FPS at 1440p Ultra, and further to 61.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. This scaling pattern—a reduction of approximately 29% from 1080p to 1440p, and another 35% from 1440p to 4K—is classic GPU-bound behavior. The workload scales with pixel count, and the RX 7600's 2048 shading units and 169.9 GPixel/s pixel rate are the limiting factors.

The CPU's influence is negligible because Inside is not a computationally demanding title. The i5-13400F, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, provides far more processing headroom than the game requires. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is most stressed, the frame rate of 61.7 FPS is determined by the graphics card, not the processor. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22604 and a single-core score of 3191, are more than sufficient for this title. If a weaker CPU were paired with the RX 7600, the frame rates would likely remain unchanged, as the game's logic and physics are not complex enough to create a CPU bottleneck. The resolution scaling further confirms this: the fact that 4K Ultra at 61.7 FPS is only 46% slower than 1080p Ultra at 133.9 FPS indicates the GPU is handling the increased pixel load without any CPU interference.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 61.7 FPS. This is a marginal clearance over the 60 FPS threshold, leaving only 1.7 FPS of headroom. High settings at 4K produce 66.7 FPS, Medium produces 103.2 FPS, and Low produces 126 FPS. All are playable, but Ultra is the recommended maximum. The data shows that for users with a 4K display, Ultra is the only choice that fully utilizes the hardware, though they should expect frame rates to hover just above the playable line.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings deliver 95.3 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS target and provides a substantial 58.8% performance buffer over the threshold. High settings at this resolution reach 104.8 FPS, Medium hits 165.1 FPS, and Low achieves 203.3 FPS. For 1440p users, Ultra is the clear choice, as it offers a fluid experience with no risk of dropping below the playable threshold. The 95.3 FPS average means the system is running at roughly 63% of the 1440p Low setting's 203.3 FPS, but the visual fidelity gain from Ultra is significant.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings produce 133.9 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS threshold. High settings reach 145 FPS, Medium hits 224.6 FPS, and Low achieves a staggering 283.4 FPS. At 1080p, the system is never under any stress, and Ultra is the only sensible choice. The 133.9 FPS at Ultra is 2.2 times the playable threshold, indicating that the RX 7600 has ample spare capacity at this resolution.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Inside at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdict data is unambiguous: at 3840x2160, all four settings—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are marked as playable, with Ultra being the best setting at 61.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four settings are again playable, with Ultra achieving 95.3 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 133.9 FPS, making it the best setting. There is no scenario in the measured data where this combo fails to reach 60 FPS. The only point of caution is 4K Ultra, where the 61.7 FPS average leaves a slim margin for error, but it still technically qualifies as playable. For all other configurations, the system provides a comfortable buffer above the threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay without any need to compromise on visual quality. The combination of the i5-13400F and RX 7600 is effectively a max-settings machine for this title, regardless of whether the user is on a 1080p, 1440p, or 4K display.
