Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 delivers a performance profile in Inside that is heavily dictated by graphical settings rather than resolution. The data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p, the combination is capable of extreme frame rates, while at 4K, the experience becomes more demanding on the GPU. The measured results indicate that this combo sits in the lower half of all tested configurations for this title, ranking 1380 out of 1671 combos.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals how the workload shifts. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 242.2 FPS at 1080p to 184.5 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 114.2 FPS at 4K. This represents a 52.8% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Ultra settings, the same resolutions produce 123.9 FPS, 87.2 FPS, and 52.9 FPS respectively, a 57.3% drop. The scaling suggests that at 1080p, the frame rate is less constrained by the GPU, as the RX 6600 has ample headroom. As resolution increases, the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth become more critical, and the performance decline becomes more pronounced.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings also widens with resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 118.3 FPS (242.2 vs 123.9). At 4K, that gap narrows to 61.3 FPS (114.2 vs 52.9). This indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU and game engine can feed frames faster than the GPU can render them at higher settings, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor across all settings. The data shows that the combo is best suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming, where it can easily exceed 120 FPS on High settings (128 FPS), while 4K gaming is only viable at Low settings (114.2 FPS) or Medium settings (95.5 FPS).

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall ranking for Inside, this CPU-GPU combination achieves a rank of 1380 out of 1671 tested combos. This places it in the bottom half of the field, indicating that while it is not a weak performer, many other configurations deliver higher average frame rates. The percentile data for the individual components helps contextualize this ranking. The Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms 75% of tested processors. The Radeon RX 6600 is at the 69th percentile among all GPUs.

The combo's rank is lower than what the individual component percentiles might suggest, which implies that the pairing may not be perfectly balanced for this particular title. The CPU's average benchmark score is 17489, placing it near rivals like the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17482) and the Intel Core i5-12450H (17475). The GPU's average score is 25235, which is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon 890M (25246) and the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (25287). The data indicates that the CPU is more than sufficient to drive the GPU, yet the overall combo ranking suggests that other pairings with similar or slightly better GPUs achieve higher frame rates in Inside.

FAQ

Q: Is the GPU or CPU more likely to be the bottleneck at 4K?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. The frame rate drops from 242.2 FPS at 1080p Low to 114.2 FPS at 4K Low, a significant reduction that aligns with the GPU's rendering load increasing with resolution.

Q: What is the best settings configuration for a 1440p monitor?

A: For a 1440p display, the High preset yields 89.6 FPS, while Ultra yields 87.2 FPS. The Medium preset provides 145.4 FPS, which is the highest frame rate among the presets that still maintains visual quality.

Q: How does this combo rank against all tested configurations?

A: This combo ranks 1380 out of 1671 total tested combinations for Inside.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces 242.2 FPS, while Ultra produces 123.9 FPS, resulting in a 118.3 FPS difference.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest performance: Low settings achieve 242.2 FPS, Medium settings achieve 208.5 FPS, High settings achieve 128 FPS, and Ultra settings achieve 123.9 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is substantial, with the Ultra preset being roughly half the frame rate of Low.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a noticeable drop. Low settings produce 184.5 FPS, Medium produces 145.4 FPS, High produces 89.6 FPS, and Ultra produces 87.2 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal at 2.4 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset offers little additional visual benefit over High at this resolution for this hardware.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more demanding. Low settings yield 114.2 FPS, which is still playable, while Medium yields 95.5 FPS. High settings drop to 58.7 FPS, and Ultra falls to 52.9 FPS. The data shows that 4K gaming is only smooth with the Low or Medium presets, as the High and Ultra presets fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a Navi 23 chip. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1626 MHz and a boost clock of 2491 MHz, with a game clock of 2044 MHz. The memory operates at 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective.

In Inside, the GPU's role is evident in the frame rate scaling with settings. At 1080p, the GPU can render frames faster than the game engine can produce them, especially at Low settings (242.2 FPS). As the settings increase to Ultra, the GPU's shading units (1792) and texture units (112) are tasked with more complex effects, reducing the frame rate to 123.9 FPS. At 4K, the GPU's pixel rate of 159.4 GPixel/s becomes a constraint, as the higher resolution requires more pixel processing. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this title, as the game does not appear to exceed this capacity at any tested setting, given that the frame rate drops are consistent with compute load rather than memory swapping.

The GPU's performance relative to its peers is notable. Its average benchmark score of 25235 places it within 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (25120). This indicates that the RX 6600 is a capable mid-range card, and its performance in Inside reflects that positioning.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture (Renoir). It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The CPU features 8 MB of shared L3 cache, with 512 KB of L2 cache per core. It supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, offering a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Inside, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The data suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p, as the frame rates at Low settings (242.2 FPS) are extremely high. The CPU's single-thread performance is strong, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1919 and Geekbench single-core score of 1575. This is important for a game like Inside, which may rely on a single main thread for physics and rendering commands.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are also sufficient. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 indicates that it can handle background tasks without impacting frame pacing. The data shows that at 1080p Ultra, the frame rate is 123.9 FPS, which is likely still above the CPU's limit, as the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms that it is a solid performer, and it does not appear to hold back the RX 6600 in this title. The combination of a 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost clock ensures responsive performance, even if the frame rate is ultimately dictated by the GPU at 4K.
