CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions and presets indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases, while the CPU provides ample headroom. At 1920x1080 Low, the system produces 334.5 FPS, far above the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution. At 3840x2160 Low, the FPS drops to 149, still high, but the reduction is substantial. The difference between Low and Ultra at each resolution is consistent: at 1080p, Low yields 334.5 FPS and Ultra yields 158.6 FPS; at 1440p, Low yields 240 FPS and Ultra yields 115.3 FPS; at 4K, Low yields 149 FPS and Ultra yields 73 FPS. This pattern shows that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining frame rates, especially at higher resolutions.

The CPU's benchmark scores reinforce this interpretation. The i7-13700K has an average benchmark score of 46881 and sits in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, while the RTX 4060 has an average score of 17639 and sits in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. The CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU within their respective distributions, which aligns with the observation that the system can push very high frame rates at low resolutions where CPU load is more significant. At 1080p Low, the 334.5 FPS result is likely CPU-bound, but even at 4K Ultra, the 73 FPS result remains above the playable threshold, indicating that the GPU is sufficient for this game's demands.

The scaling between presets also shows that the game is not heavily dependent on the CPU. The drop from Low to Ultra at each resolution is roughly proportional, with Ultra averaging about half the FPS of Low. This consistent behavior suggests that the GPU's rendering load scales predictably with settings, and the CPU is not introducing a bottleneck at any tested configuration.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark score, are the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (avgScore 46971, delta -0.2%), AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 (avgScore 47022, delta -0.3%), AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX (avgScore 46654, delta +0.5%), and Intel Xeon w3-2535 (avgScore 46653, delta +0.5%). These processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in Inside, as the differences are within 0.5% of the i7-13700K's average score. For example, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 is only 0.2% slower, which would translate to a negligible difference in measured FPS.

The GPU's nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (avgScore 17666, delta -0.2%), AMD Radeon 780M (avgScore 17588, delta +0.3%), AMD Radeon Pro 560 (avgScore 17551, delta +0.5%), and AMD Radeon Pro 460 (avgScore 17509, delta +0.7%). These GPUs have average scores within 0.7% of the RTX 4060, meaning they would deliver essentially the same performance in Inside. The AMD Radeon HD 7790, despite being an older architecture, is the closest match, with a delta of -0.2%. Users with any of these alternative components can expect similar frame rates to the i7-13700K + RTX 4060 combination.

The Verdict

The system can run Inside at 60 FPS or higher at all tested settings and resolutions. The verdict by resolution confirms that every preset—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—is playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The most demanding preset, Ultra, achieves 73 FPS at 4K, 115.3 FPS at 1440p, and 158.6 FPS at 1080p. Since the playable threshold is 60 FPS, the system clears it with margin at every configuration. The data indicates that the i7-13700K and RTX 4060 combination is fully capable of running Inside without any performance concerns.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra for all three resolutions. The measured average FPS at Ultra is as follows:

• 3840x2160 (4K): Ultra, 73 FPS
• 2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra, 115.3 FPS
• 1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra, 158.6 FPS

All lower presets (High, Medium, Low) also exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra is the highest preset tested and remains above the threshold, so it is the recommended setting for maximum visual quality.

How This Combo Ranks

This combo ranks 1844 out of 3716 tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of the database. The CPU is in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. The combo rank is lower than the CPU's percentile, which suggests that the GPU is the more limiting component in this game. However, the rank is still above the median, indicating that this pairing performs better than half of all tested systems. The high CPU percentile and moderate GPU percentile combine to produce a system that is well-balanced for Inside, with the GPU being the primary determinant of frame rates at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides average FPS only; minimum and maximum values are not reported. The following table lists all measured results:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 77.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 149 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 121.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 73 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 120 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 240 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 193.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 115.3 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 164.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 334.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 268.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 158.6 |

The data shows a clear progression: as resolution increases, FPS decreases across all settings. At 1080p, even the lowest preset (Low) yields 334.5 FPS, while at 4K, the highest preset (Ultra) yields 73 FPS. The system maintains playable performance at every combination, with the lowest recorded average being 73 FPS at 4K Ultra. This indicates that the i7-13700K and RTX 4060 combination is more than sufficient for Inside, offering headroom even at the most demanding settings.
