Inside

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 handles Inside with enormous headroom: every tested resolution, from 1920x1080 through 3840x2160, clears the 60 FPS playable threshold even at the Ultra preset. This pairing ranks 1635 out of 3716 tested combinations for this game, and the measured data shows a GPU-bound profile at higher resolutions with frame rates that make Inside effectively a solved problem for this hardware. The i5-13400F — a 10-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake processor with a 4.60 GHz boost clock and a launch MSRP of $196 — and the RTX 5060, a Blackwell 2.0 card with 8 GB of GDDR7 and a launch MSRP of 299 USD, are both dramatically overkill for a 2016 puzzle platformer, which is exactly why the results look the way they do.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data covers three resolutions at four presets each, with average frame rates recorded for all twelve combinations. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not captured in this dataset, so the analysis below rests on the averages alone.

At 1920x1080, the combo posts 333.5 FPS at Low, 280.6 FPS at Medium, 176.7 FPS at High, and 169.6 FPS at Ultra. The spread between Low and Ultra is large in absolute terms — 163.9 FPS — but the practical difference is negligible because even the heaviest preset sits nearly three times above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The step from High to Ultra costs only 7.1 FPS, indicating the visual quality jump at maximum settings carries almost no penalty at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the numbers are 253.2 FPS at Low, 203.5 FPS at Medium, 125.5 FPS at High, and 118.5 FPS at Ultra. Again, Ultra versus High is a modest 7.0 FPS drop, while the Low-to-Medium step costs 49.7 FPS and Medium-to-High costs 78.0 FPS. The resolution shift from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 24% at Low and about 30% at Ultra, which is consistent with a GPU working harder as pixel count rises.

At 3840x2160, the combo delivers 162 FPS at Low, 128.6 FPS at Medium, 80.5 FPS at High, and 73.4 FPS at Ultra. This is where the margins tighten relative to the rest of the table, yet Ultra still clears the 60 FPS threshold by 13.4 FPS. The High-to-Ultra drop is 7.1 FPS, mirroring the pattern at the lower resolutions. Every single tested configuration at 4K remains above the playable line.

Across all twelve measurements, not one dips below 60 FPS average. The lowest result in the entire dataset — 73.4 FPS at 4K Ultra — would qualify as comfortably playable on its own.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling behavior between resolutions reveals which component is doing the work. Moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 quadruples the pixel count, and the measured averages fall accordingly: Low drops from 333.5 to 162 FPS, Medium from 280.6 to 128.6, High from 176.7 to 80.5, and Ultra from 169.6 to 73.4. That is a reduction of roughly half at every preset, which is the signature of GPU-bound operation — the RTX 5060's frame delivery scales with resolution while the CPU's contribution stays constant.

At 1080p, where CPU limits typically surface, the frame rates do not plateau at a hard ceiling; they still climb when settings drop, reaching 333.5 FPS at Low. This suggests the i5-13400F is not the limiting factor anywhere in this test matrix. Its single-thread performance is substantial for this workload — a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3191, a Geekbench single-core score of 1996, and a PassMark single-thread score of 3634 — and Inside's requirements as a puzzle platformer simply do not stress it. The R23 multi-core result of 22604 and PassMark multithread score of 25032 describe capacity that goes largely unused here.

The GPU, meanwhile, sits in the 72nd percentile against all tested GPUs with an average benchmark score of 26331, nearest rivals per the data being the AMD Radeon 860M, NVIDIA GeForce MX550, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary, and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT. Against those neighbors, the RTX 5060 performs within a range of 1.2% on either side. For this game, the practical conclusion is simple: the GPU sets the frame rate at 1440p and 4K, and even at 1080p the card, not the chip, remains the constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

Inside the game-specific leaderboard, the i5-13400F + RTX 5060 pairing ranks 1635 out of 3716 tested combinations — the upper half, but not near the top. That placement deserves context. Inside is a game where almost any modern discrete-GPU system clears 60 FPS, so the ranking compresses and differences between combinations shrink. This combo's rank reflects the GPU's overall standing (72nd percentile) more than any pairing synergy.

On the CPU side, the i5-13400F sits in the 77th percentile against all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25292. The nearest rivals list places it essentially dead even with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (deltaPct 0), marginally behind the Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (both at -0.3%), and just ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (+0.4%). Those deltas describe a tightly clustered group, and for a game of this type the choice among them would not change the Inside experience in any measurable way.

The takeaway from the rank: this is a solid mid-to-upper combination in a game where hardware differentiation barely matters. It plays Inside flawlessly; the leaderboard position is a statement about other games, not this one.

The Verdict

Yes — this PC runs Inside at every tested resolution and preset. The verdict-by-resolution data is unambiguous: at 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra as the best setting at 169.6 FPS average. At 2560x1440, the same four presets clear the threshold, with Ultra at 118.5 FPS. At 3840x2160, all four presets remain playable, with Ultra at 73.4 FPS — the tightest margin in the dataset, but still 13.4 FPS above the 60 FPS line.

There is no configuration in the entire measured set that fails. The correct way to play Inside on this hardware is at 4K Ultra; anything less leaves performance on the table without any benefit in smoothness that matters for a puzzle platformer. The data is measured, not estimated, which strengthens the confidence in these conclusions.

FAQ

Q: Can the i5-13400F + RTX 5060 run Inside at 4K on Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The combo averages 73.4 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold by 13.4 FPS.

Q: What is the highest frame rate this combo achieves in Inside?

A: 333.5 FPS, at 1920x1080 on the Low preset.

Q: Which component is the bottleneck in this game?

A: The GPU. Frame rates fall by roughly half when moving from 1080p to 4K at every preset, which indicates GPU-bound scaling; the i5-13400F shows no limiting behavior anywhere in the data.

Q: Does dropping from Ultra to High settings help at 4K?

A: Only slightly. High averages 80.5 FPS versus Ultra's 73.4 FPS at 3840x2160 — a 7.1 FPS gain. Both presets are playable, so there is no reason to reduce settings.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested combinations for Inside?

A: It ranks 1635 out of 3716 tested combinations — upper half, consistent with the RTX 5060's 72nd percentile standing among GPUs.

Q: How does the i5-13400F compare to rival CPUs in the data?

A: Its average benchmark score of 25292 puts it dead even with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, about 0.3% behind the Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H.

Best Settings per Resolution

• 1920x1080 — Ultra: 169.6 FPS average. Nearly three times the playable threshold; there is no reason to run anything lower.
• 2560x1440 — Ultra: 118.5 FPS average. Comfortable margin at maximum settings, with High close behind at 125.5 FPS if preferred.
• 3840x2160 — Ultra: 73.4 FPS average. Ultra remains the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and it does so with room to spare.

At every resolution, Ultra is the answer. Inside simply does not push this hardware hard enough for settings trade-offs to exist.
