Inside

The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination ranks at position 351 out of 3,716 tested combos for Inside, placing it in the top 9.5% of all systems evaluated. This is a high-end pairing that delivers massively more performance than the game's 60 FPS playable threshold requires, with every resolution and preset combination in the measured data clearing that mark by a substantial margin. The benchmark results indicate this combo is overkill for the title, but for users seeking maximum frame rates on high-refresh displays, the data shows no practical ceiling is hit even at 4K Ultra settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 351 out of 3,716 tested configurations places it comfortably in the upper echelon of systems for Inside. This ranking reflects the combined capability of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, where the GPU's benchmark percentile of 87 versus all GPUs dominates the performance picture. The CPU, ranking at the 77th percentile against all CPUs, is not a bottleneck in this pairing.

What this rank means in practice is that the system sits ahead of roughly 90% of all tested combos for this specific game. The measured FPS data reinforces this position: even the most demanding setting tested, 4K Ultra, delivers 133.2 FPS average—more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold. At the opposite extreme, 1080p Low produces 332.6 FPS, which is over five times the playable threshold.

The rank becomes more meaningful when considering the game's release date of 2016-07-06. Inside is a puzzle platformer with modest graphical demands relative to modern titles, and the data shows the RTX 5080 has enormous headroom. The combo's position in the top 9.5% of all tested systems indicates that this hardware pairing is far beyond what the game can stress, even at maximum settings and resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data for the Intel Core i5-13400F shows its benchmark score of 25,292 is virtually identical to several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS scores 25,284 with a deltaPct of 0%, meaning the two perform within a rounding error of each other. The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25,362 (deltaPct -0.3%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scores 25,365 (deltaPct -0.3%), both effectively tied with the i5-13400F. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25,201 (deltaPct 0.4%), also essentially equivalent.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, the nearestRivals data indicates its average benchmark score of 56,083 is closely matched by several AMD alternatives. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757 (deltaPct 0.6%), while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698 (deltaPct 0.7%). The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828 (deltaPct 2.3%), and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57,367 (deltaPct -2.2%), meaning the RX 9070 GRE is slightly ahead.

In practice, swapping the i5-13400F for any of its listed rivals would produce negligible FPS differences in Inside, since the game is GPU-bound at the resolutions tested. Similarly, replacing the RTX 5080 with the AMD Radeon 8060S or RX 6750 GRE 12 GB would likely yield nearly identical frame rates, given their benchmark scores are within 0.7% of the RTX 5080. The RX 9070 GRE, being 2.2% faster in benchmark terms, could provide a marginal FPS uplift, though the measured data suggests the differences would be imperceptible at the frame rates already achieved.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU for Inside, with the GPU being the dominant factor across all resolutions and presets. This conclusion follows from the FPS scaling patterns: as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, the average FPS drops consistently across every preset, which is a signature of GPU-bound performance.

At 1080p, the GPU has the least work relative to the CPU, yet the FPS still ranges from 251.3 (Ultra) to 332.6 (Low). Moving to 1440p, the FPS drops to between 213.8 (Ultra) and 295.8 (Low), a reduction of roughly 11-15% depending on preset. At 4K, the FPS falls further to between 133.2 (Ultra) and 258.8 (Low), representing a 37-47% drop from the 1080p figures.

The preset scaling within each resolution tells the same story. At 4K, dropping from Ultra to High increases FPS from 133.2 to 140.8 (a 5.7% gain), while dropping from Ultra to Medium yields 228 FPS (a 71% gain), and Ultra to Low yields 258.8 FPS (a 94% gain). These large jumps from preset changes indicate the GPU is the limiting factor—the RTX 5080's raw compute is what determines these numbers.

The CPU's role is secondary but not negligible. The i5-13400F's 10 cores and 16 threads provide ample processing headroom, as evidenced by its multi-threaded benchmark scores: 22,604 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 25,032 in Passmark multithread. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, which does not demand heavy physics or AI simulation, the CPU is never the bottleneck. The data shows that even at 1080p Low—the setting that maximizes CPU relative load—the FPS reaches 332.6, which is far above any CPU-imposed limit.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Inside at 60 FPS and far beyond. The verdictByResolution data shows that all four settings tested—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at every resolution from 1920x1080 through 3840x2160. The best settings at each resolution are listed as Ultra, with average FPS of 133.2 at 4K, 213.8 at 1440p, and 251.3 at 1080p.

The data indicates that users can run the game at maximum graphical fidelity (Ultra preset) without any concern about frame rate. The 4K Ultra figure of 133.2 FPS is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold, providing a comfortable margin for any frame time spikes or demanding scenes. At 1440p and 1080p, the Ultra presets deliver 213.8 and 251.3 FPS respectively, which are well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors.

For players with 4K displays seeking the highest possible smoothness, the Low preset at 258.8 FPS or Medium at 228 FPS offers headroom for 240Hz displays, though the Ultra preset's 133.2 FPS already exceeds most 120Hz displays' refresh rates. The verdict is unambiguous: there is no configuration in the measured data that fails to clear 60 FPS, making this combo a definitive "yes" for Inside at any resolution and preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four presets, with average FPS recorded for each combination. No minimum or maximum FPS values were captured in the dataset, so the analysis relies solely on averages.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all presets. Low settings produce 332.6 FPS, Medium produces 304.9 FPS, High produces 254.2 FPS, and Ultra produces 251.3 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal (only 2.9 FPS), while the gap between Low and Ultra is 81.3 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the FPS values remain well above 200 for every preset. Low settings yield 295.8 FPS, Medium yields 277.6 FPS, High yields 221.9 FPS, and Ultra yields 213.8 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a reduction of 36.8 FPS for Low, 27.3 FPS for Medium, 32.3 FPS for High, and 37.5 FPS for Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates still clear 130 FPS at every preset, which is remarkable for 4K. Low settings deliver 258.8 FPS, Medium delivers 228 FPS, High delivers 140.8 FPS, and Ultra delivers 133.2 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is substantial: 37 FPS for Low, 49.6 FPS for Medium, 81.1 FPS for High, and 80.6 FPS for Ultra.

The data reveals that the High and Ultra presets are nearly identical in performance at each resolution, differing by only 2.9 FPS at 1080p, 8.1 FPS at 1440p, and 7.6 FPS at 4K. Meanwhile, the gap between Medium and High is significant: 50.7 FPS at 1080p, 55.7 FPS at 1440p, and 87.2 FPS at 4K. This suggests that the Ultra preset adds little graphical overhead over High, while Medium represents a distinct performance tier.
