Inside

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 delivers a comprehensive performance profile for Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. Based on the measured data, this combination is exceptionally capable, surpassing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested resolution and setting preset. The benchmark results indicate that the system provides a smooth experience even at 4K Ultra, where it maintains an average of 66 FPS, making it a robust choice for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this system each have distinct performance neighbors based on aggregate benchmark scores, which helps contextualize their behavior in Inside.

For the Intel Core i5-13400F, the nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS matches its average score almost exactly, with a delta of 0%. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D are also within 0.3% of its score, while the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H trails by a negligible 0.4%. This grouping indicates that for CPU-bound scenarios, the i5-13400F performs on par with these alternatives, meaning users upgrading from any of these processors would likely see little difference in frame pacing for Inside.

On the graphics side, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 sits in a similar performance band as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which is 0.7% ahead. The AMD Radeon R9 370X and AMD Radeon RX 7700 are both 1% behind, and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 is 2.1% behind. This suggests that the RX 9060 offers performance equivalent to an RTX 3060 Ti in synthetic benchmarks, and users with any of these GPUs should expect comparable frame rates in Inside at the same settings, assuming no other bottlenecks.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data for Inside shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance, but the CPU’s headroom ensures consistent frame delivery. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 309 FPS on Low settings, which drops to 147 FPS on Ultra. This scaling—a reduction of roughly 52% from Low to Ultra—indicates that the graphical load heavily influences output. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset yields 222 FPS, and Ultra yields 106 FPS, showing a 52% drop as well. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 140 FPS, while Ultra averages 66 FPS, a 53% reduction.

The resolution scaling further clarifies the GPU’s dominance. From 1080p to 1440p on Ultra, the average FPS falls from 147 to 106, a 28% decrease; from 1440p to 4K on Ultra, it drops from 106 to 66, a 38% decrease. These consistent reductions across resolutions suggest that the RX 9060 is the limiting factor, as the i5-13400F provides ample single-thread and multi-thread performance to avoid bottlenecking. The CPU’s strong multi-threaded scores—such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22604 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 11068—support this interpretation, as Inside is not a highly threaded title. Even at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate is lowest, the system stays well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the CPU never becomes a constraint.

FAQ

*Q: Can this system run Inside at 4K Ultra settings?*

A: Yes, the benchmark results show an average of 66 FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the highest average frame rate achievable at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system reaches an average of 309 FPS, which is the highest recorded in the data.

Q: How does the RX 9060 compare to the RTX 3060 Ti?

A: Based on average benchmark scores, the RTX 3060 Ti is 0.7% faster than the RX 9060, making them effectively equivalent for Inside.

*Q: Does the CPU or GPU limit performance more in Inside?*

A: The GPU is the limiting factor, as frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings, while the CPU’s performance is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at all tested configurations.

Q: Are there any settings where the system drops below 60 FPS?

A: No, every tested resolution and preset combination—from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra—maintains an average above 60 FPS, with the lowest being 66 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded in the data?

A: The lowest minimum FPS recorded is 95 FPS, observed at 3840x2160 with Medium settings, which is still comfortably above the playable threshold.

The Verdict

This PC can run Inside without any issues. The verdict by resolution confirms that all tested settings are playable, meaning the system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 147 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best, averaging 106 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system still manages Ultra at 66 FPS, which is above the threshold. The data shows that no compromises are needed; users can max out the game at any resolution and still enjoy a fluid experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed view of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 309 FPS, Medium averages 247 FPS with a minimum of 210 FPS and a maximum of 284 FPS, High averages 155 FPS, and Ultra averages 147 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low averages 222 FPS, Medium averages 178 FPS with a minimum of 151 FPS and a maximum of 204 FPS, High averages 111 FPS, and Ultra averages 106 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low averages 140 FPS, Medium averages 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra averages 66 FPS.

The minimum FPS values are only available for the Medium preset at each resolution. These figures—210 FPS at 1080p, 151 FPS at 1440p, and 95 FPS at 4K—indicate that even the worst-case frame dips remain well above the 60 FPS threshold. The absence of minimum data for other presets suggests that the average values are representative of a consistently smooth experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

For users seeking the most demanding preset that still maintains 60 FPS, the data points to Ultra at every resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings yield an average of 147 FPS, which is the highest visual quality with a massive margin above the threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 106 FPS, still providing a fluid experience with no need to lower settings. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 66 FPS, which is the closest call in the dataset but remains playable. Since all presets exceed 60 FPS, the best settings are simply the highest available, with no trade-off required for playability.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall database of tested combinations for Inside, this system ranks 2129 out of 3716 combos. This places it in the upper portion of the field, roughly in the 43rd percentile of all tested hardware pairs. While it is not at the top tier, the rank reflects that the i5-13400F and RX 9060 combination is more than adequate for this title. The rank is influenced by the fact that Inside is an older game with low system requirements, so many higher-end combos achieve similar or higher frame rates, but this system’s ability to maintain 66 FPS at 4K Ultra demonstrates that it performs well above the minimum requirements for a smooth experience.
