Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. Across all tested resolutions and settings, the combo never drops below an average of 111.6 FPS, indicating a substantial performance surplus for this title. The data shows a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s 6-core, 12-thread configuration proves more than adequate even at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 235 FPS on low settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant performance driver in this configuration for Inside. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, which is ample for the game’s asset streaming. The GPU’s clock speeds, with a base of 1980 MHz and a boost of 2475 MHz, allow it to sustain high throughput. The benchmark data shows the GPU’s influence scaling directly with resolution; at 1080p, the average frame rate on High settings is 177.3 FPS, which rises to 160.4 FPS at 1440p, and then falls to 114 FPS at 4K. This steep drop from 1440p to 4K—a 46.4 FPS reduction—clearly indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s rendering capabilities are the primary constraint as pixel count increases.

The GPU’s raw compute power, measured at 35.48 TFLOPS for FP32 operations, is more than sufficient to handle the game's rendering demands. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s percentile ranking of 84 among all GPUs confirms its high-end positioning. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, shows a deltaPct of -0.2%, meaning the two are virtually indistinguishable in synthetic benchmarks. In Inside, this translates to performance that is never a bottleneck until the resolution is pushed to 4K with Ultra settings, where the average frame rate still remains a very smooth 111.6 FPS. The data indicates that the GPU’s 220W TDP and Ada Lovelace architecture are more than capable of handling this title’s graphical workload, even at maximum settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 2 architecture, provides a solid foundation for Inside. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.20 GHz are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the system in this puzzle platformer. In synthetic tests, the CPU scores 15045 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2124 in single-core, which places it in the 76th percentile of all CPUs. The data shows that the CPU’s role is more critical at lower resolutions where the GPU has spare capacity. At 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 235.6 FPS, a figure that is likely closer to the CPU's frame generation limit than the GPU's.

However, the CPU's performance is not a limiting factor in the frame rates observed. When comparing to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-11400, the Ryzen 5 3600 is only -0.1% behind in average score, demonstrating parity in processing power. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for maintaining consistent frame times. As resolution increases, the CPU's workload relative to the GPU decreases. The data supports this: the frame rate drop from 1080p High (177.3 FPS) to 1440p High (160.4 FPS) is a modest 16.9 FPS, but the drop from 1440p High to 4K High (114 FPS) is a much larger 46.4 FPS. This increasing performance gap with resolution confirms that the Ryzen 5 3600 is adequately feeding the RTX 4070 SUPER, and the GPU becomes the sole limiting component at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination holds a rank of 745 out of 1671 tested combos in Inside. This places it in the 45th percentile of all system configurations, which is a notable position given the game's age and the high-end nature of the GPU. The ranking is likely dragged down by the CPU, which, while capable, is not in the same tier as the GPU. The data suggests that many other systems with newer, higher-core-count CPUs paired with the RTX 4070 SUPER would achieve higher frame rates, especially at 1080p where the CPU has a greater influence.

Despite the mid-pack ranking, the actual gaming experience is exceptional. The combo’s performance is so far above the threshold for smooth gameplay that the rank becomes more of a theoretical exercise. The difference between this combo and those ranked higher is likely to be in the high-refresh-rate territory above 200 FPS, where the Ryzen 5 3600’s single-thread performance of 696 in 3DMark may start to show its age. The GPU, however, is ranked in the 84th percentile, and its performance in Inside is consistently strong across all settings. The rank of 745 indicates that while this is not the absolute top-tier combo for this game, it is far from a weak one, and the user will experience no discernible performance issues.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU dependency. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 235.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the frame rate drops to 213 FPS, a reduction of 22.6 FPS. This is a relatively small decrease, suggesting the system still has headroom. However, the transition to 4K Low brings the frame rate down to 182.2 FPS, a further drop of 30.8 FPS. This scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets.

The most telling data comes from the High preset. At 1080p, the average is 177.3 FPS. At 1440p, it is 160.4 FPS. At 4K, it falls to 114 FPS. This represents a 36% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K. The frame rate drop from 1440p to 4K (46.4 FPS) is nearly three times larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p (16.9 FPS). This non-linear scaling is a classic indicator of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU is able to maintain its end of the bargain up to 1440p, but the RTX 4070 SUPER's workload at 4K causes the frame rate to plummet. The data confirms that at 4K, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the definitive limiting component. The difference between High (114 FPS) and Ultra (111.6 FPS) at 4K is only 2.4 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset’s additional graphical effects do not significantly stress the GPU further, as the resolution itself is the primary burden.
