Inside

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows a wide performance envelope across the four quality presets. The Low preset delivers an average of 135 FPS, which is the highest frame rate measured for this combination at any resolution. Stepping up to Medium, the average settles at 108 FPS, with a minimum of 92 FPS and a maximum of 124 FPS, indicating consistent frame pacing. The High preset produces an average of 68 FPS, while the most demanding Ultra preset still manages an average of 64 FPS. These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the combination of the Intel Core i7-14700F and AMD Radeon RX 570 has substantial headroom across the board.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down as expected. The Low preset records an average of 97 FPS, which remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Medium shows an average of 78 FPS, with the frame window spanning 66 to 89 FPS. High drops to an average of 49 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold, while Ultra sits at 46 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at this resolution is 19 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 29 FPS, showing a steepening decline as settings increase.

At 3840x2160, the RX 570 begins to struggle with the higher detail levels. Low produces an average of 61 FPS, just barely crossing the 60 FPS line. Medium averages 49 FPS, with a recorded range of 42 to 56 FPS. High drops to 31 FPS, and Ultra falls to 29 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium is 12 FPS, while the difference between Medium and High is 18 FPS, indicating that the GPU's fill rate and bandwidth constraints become more pronounced at 4K resolutions. The minimum and maximum frame data for High and Ultra at this resolution were not recorded, meaning the dataset only captures the averages for those presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the database identifies Ultra as the best playable setting, delivering an average of 64 FPS. This is notable because it is the only resolution where the most demanding preset remains at or above 60 FPS. The High preset also qualifies with 68 FPS, but Ultra represents the highest visual fidelity that still maintains playability. Since all four presets at 1080p clear the 60 FPS threshold, users have full freedom to choose based on visual preference.

At 2560x1440, the best setting that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 78 FPS. The Low preset also qualifies at 97 FPS, but Medium offers a better balance between image quality and performance. The High preset at 49 FPS and Ultra at 46 FPS both fall short of the playable threshold, so they are excluded from the recommendation. The 78 FPS average at Medium provides a 18 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS line, which should absorb minor scene complexity spikes without dropping below playability.

For 3840x2160, the only playable option is Low, which produces an average of 61 FPS. This is a razor-thin margin of just 1 FPS above the threshold. Medium at 49 FPS, High at 31 FPS, and Ultra at 29 FPS are all firmly in unplayable territory for this hardware combination. The verdict data confirms that Low is the best settings choice at 4K, but the narrow margin suggests that users should expect occasional dips below 60 FPS during demanding scenes, even though no minimum frame data was recorded for this preset.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck for this game at higher resolutions, while the CPU has more influence at lower resolutions. The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Radeon RX 570, by contrast, sits in the 74th percentile of all GPUs and is rated at 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 with a 256-bit memory bus and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth.

At 1920x1080, the scaling from Low to Ultra shows a drop from 135 FPS to 64 FPS, a reduction of 71 FPS or roughly 53%. This large swing suggests that the GPU is already being taxed by the higher presets, but the CPU is capable of feeding frames well above the playable threshold. The fact that Ultra still hits 64 FPS indicates that the i7-14700F has enough single-thread performance to keep up with the RX 570 at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS across presets ranges from 97 FPS at Low to 46 FPS at Ultra. The relative drop from Low to Ultra is 51 FPS, similar in percentage terms to the 1080p results. However, the absolute numbers are lower across the board, which points to the GPU becoming more of a limiting factor as pixel count rises. The CPU's role diminishes because the frame rate is increasingly constrained by the rasterization and memory bandwidth of the RX 570.

At 3840x2160, the pattern shifts decisively. The average FPS at Low is just 61, and Ultra falls to 29. The total spread from Low to Ultra is 32 FPS, which is narrower in absolute terms than at lower resolutions. This compression indicates that the GPU is saturated even at Low settings, and the CPU's potential is largely untapped. The i7-14700F's high boost clock and large cache cannot compensate for the RX 570's limited 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth when pushing 8.3 million pixels per frame.

FAQ

Q: Can this combination run Inside at 60 FPS on a 4K monitor?

A: Yes, but only at Low settings, where the average FPS is 61. Medium drops to 49 FPS, High to 31 FPS, and Ultra to 29 FPS, so higher presets are not playable at 3840x2160.

Q: What is the highest quality preset that maintains 60 FPS at 2560x1440?

A: Medium is the best choice, delivering an average of 78 FPS. Low also qualifies at 97 FPS, but High and Ultra fall below the threshold at 49 FPS and 46 FPS respectively.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game at 1080p?

A: The data suggests the GPU has more influence at higher presets, as the frame rate drops from 135 FPS at Low to 64 FPS at Ultra. The CPU's 20-core and 28-thread configuration is likely not the limiting factor at this resolution.

The RX 470, in particular, being based on the same Polaris architecture, would likely track the RX 570's results almost exactly across all resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's ranking of tested combinations for Inside, this pairing of the Intel Core i7-14700F and AMD Radeon RX 570 holds position 3523 out of 3716 total combinations. This places it in the bottom 5% of all tested systems, which is a poor showing relative to the broader hardware landscape. The low rank is primarily attributable to the GPU, as the RX 570's 74th percentile standing among all GPUs is the limiting factor, while the CPU's 91st percentile ranking shows it is more than capable for this title.

The ranking reflects the fact that Inside is not a demanding game by modern standards, and most contemporary GPUs can easily exceed the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p with max settings. The RX 570's age and 4 GB memory capacity hold it back, particularly at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combination still delivers playable frame rates across all presets, which means the poor rank is more about the overall database population than about this specific game's playability. Users with this hardware should expect a smooth experience at 1080p, a workable but limited experience at 1440p, and only minimal settings at 4K.
