Inside

The Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination is far more powerful than Inside requires. Measured FPS data shows every tested preset at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080 remains above the 60 FPS playable threshold; the most demanding preset, Ultra, averages 126 FPS at 4K, 200 FPS at 1440p, and 278 FPS at 1080p. The combination ranks 136th out of 3716 tested combinations.

Best Settings per Resolution

Ultra is the best setting at every resolution. It is the most demanding preset in the dataset, and it stays at or above 60 FPS in all three tested resolutions.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 126 FPS. High averages 132 FPS, Medium averages 211 FPS with a minimum of 180 FPS and a maximum of 243 FPS, and Low averages 264 FPS. Every preset is playable at 4K, and Ultra is the highest-quality option that still clears the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 200 FPS. High averages 210 FPS, Medium averages 336 FPS with a minimum of 286 FPS and a maximum of 387 FPS, and Low averages 366 FPS. The GPU has so much headroom at 1440p that even the heaviest preset runs at more than triple the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 278 FPS. High averages 292 FPS, Medium averages 377 FPS with a minimum of 320 FPS and a maximum of 433 FPS, and Low averages 408 FPS. This is the highest frame-rate tier in the dataset, and Ultra remains the recommended setting because it delivers the best visual quality without dropping below 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The i7-14700K has an aggregate benchmark average of 69355 and sits in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in aggregate score are all within 0.9%: the AMD EPYC 9115 scores 69288 and is 0.1% behind, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69515 and is 0.2% ahead, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69875 and is 0.7% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F scores 69996 and is 0.9% ahead. These are close enough that a system using one of those CPUs would be expected to produce broadly similar results in Inside.

The RTX 4080 SUPER has an aggregate benchmark average of 54209 and sits in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 with a score of 54247 and a 0.1% higher aggregate result, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X with a score of 54828 and a 1.1% higher aggregate result, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB with a score of 55698 and a 2.7% higher aggregate result, and the AMD Radeon 8060S with a score of 55757 and a 2.8% higher aggregate result. The RTX 4080 is effectively a twin of the RTX 4080 SUPER in aggregate terms, while the AMD alternatives are slightly higher in synthetic score but still within a narrow band. The measured FPS table on this page applies specifically to the i7-14700K and RTX 4080 SUPER combination, but these aggregate deltas indicate that nearby hardware would land in a similar performance envelope.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset records average FPS for every resolution and preset combination, with minimum and maximum FPS recorded for Medium presets only.

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 377 | 320 | 433 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 278 | — | — |

The lowest minimum FPS in the entire measured set is 180 FPS at 4K Medium, which is still far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Frame dips are therefore not a practical concern for this combination.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Inside at 4K Ultra?

A: Yes. Ultra is the most demanding preset tested, and it averages 126 FPS at 3840x2160. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, so Ultra at 4K is comfortably playable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling between resolutions and presets shows how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 408 FPS, the highest average in the dataset. The Ultra preset averages 278 FPS. These very high frame rates require strong single-thread CPU throughput; the i7-14700K scores 2160 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 4472 in PassMark single-thread. At 1080p, the CPU is the component that has to feed extremely high frame rates, and the data shows it has enough headroom to do so.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 366 FPS and Ultra averages 200 FPS. The GPU is doing more work than at 1080p, but the frame rates remain so high that neither component becomes a practical limit. Medium reports a minimum of 286 FPS at this resolution, so even the lowest recorded frames stay far above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 264 FPS and Ultra averages 126 FPS. This is the lowest measured result in the dataset, and it occurs at the highest GPU load. The High and Ultra averages are close at 4K, 132 FPS versus 126 FPS, while Low and Medium are much higher at 264 FPS and 211 FPS. That pattern indicates the GPU is the dominant factor at 4K Ultra. The resolution scaling is also visible in the Low preset: 408 FPS at 1080p, 366 FPS at 1440p, and 264 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset scales from 278 FPS at 1080p to 200 FPS at 1440p to 126 FPS at 4K, showing that the heaviest settings amplify the GPU workload.

Overall, the CPU matters most when the game is asked to produce very high frame rates at lower resolutions, while the GPU matters most at 4K Ultra, where the average falls to 126 FPS but remains fully playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 136th out of 3716 tested combinations in Inside. The CPU is in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. The measured FPS results support that position: no tested configuration drops below 60 FPS, and the lowest recorded minimum is 180 FPS at 4K Medium. This is one of the stronger tested configurations in the database, with enough performance headroom for maxed-out settings at every resolution.
