How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 9070 combination achieves a rank of 763 out of 1671 combos in Inside. This percentile placement suggests that the pairing is more capable than a majority of tested systems, but it is not at the very top of the hierarchy. The ranking is influenced by the balance between the CPU and GPU; the RX 9070 is a high-end graphics card, while the Ryzen 5 4600G is a mid-range processor from the 4000 series.

Looking at the individual components, the CPU's average benchmark score of 17489 puts it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a score of 17482 and a 0% delta, the Intel Core i5-12450H at 17475 with a 0.1% delta, and the Intel Core i3-14100T at 17636 with a -0.8% delta. This indicates the 4600G is closely matched with these processors, trading blows within a 1% margin. The GPU, on the other hand, has an average benchmark score of 34780 and sits in the 79th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA A2 with a score of 34866 and a -0.2% delta, and the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 at 34677 with a 0.3% delta. The data suggests the GPU is the stronger component in this pairing, which is reflected in the high frame rates seen in the measured results. The combo's overall rank of 763 suggests that while the GPU drives high performance, the CPU is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking in Inside, a game that is not particularly demanding on processor resources.

FAQ

Q: Is the game playable at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, at 3840x2160 with the High preset, the average FPS is 100.2, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay. Even at the most demanding Ultra preset, the average FPS remains at 92.5.

Q: What is the maximum recorded average FPS in the dataset?

A: The highest average FPS recorded is 241.4, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with the Low settings preset.

Q: Which preset provides the lowest performance hit at 4K?

A: The Low preset at 3840x2160 yields an average FPS of 187.3, which is the highest among the 4K settings. The Ultra preset shows the largest drop, with an average of 92.5 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU limit performance in this game?

A: The data indicates that the CPU is not a significant limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 4600G has a boost clock of 4.20 GHz and scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multicore. The frame rates scale consistently with resolution changes, suggesting the GPU is the primary driver of performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear trend in how the system scales across resolutions. At the High preset, the average frame rate at 1920x1080 is 188.4 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the FPS drops to 156.1, a reduction of 32.3 FPS (approximately 17%). When scaling up to 3840x2160, the average FPS further decreases to 100.2, a significant 55.9 FPS drop from the 1440p result. This pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases is typical for a GPU-bound scenario.

The scaling behavior indicates that the AMD Radeon RX 9070 is the primary component determining performance. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides adequate processing power to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the workload becomes increasingly heavier on the graphics card as pixel count rises. The drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, with the High preset losing 88.2 FPS, which represents a 46.8% reduction in performance. This suggests that while the system is exceptionally fast at 1080p and 1440p, the 4K resolution places a much larger demand on the GPU, bringing the average frame rate down to just over 100 FPS. The data shows a smooth scaling curve, with no anomalous jumps, confirming that the bottleneck shifts decisively to the GPU at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results provide clear guidance on which preset offers the best experience. For players targeting the highest refresh rates, the Low preset at 1920x1080 delivers an average of 241.4 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. At the same resolution, the Medium preset offers a substantial 225.1 FPS, while the High preset provides 188.4 FPS. The Ultra preset, with an average of 184.1 FPS, is still highly playable and offers the best visual fidelity, but the performance cost is noticeable.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset emerges as the strongest choice. It delivers an average of 199.2 FPS, which is only 17.2 FPS less than the Low preset's 216.4 FPS. The High preset at this resolution provides 156.1 FPS, which is still excellent, but the Medium preset offers a better balance between visual quality and raw speed. For 4K gaming, the High preset is the most sensible default, providing an average of 100.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 92.5 FPS, which is still playable, but the difference between High and Ultra may not justify the performance loss. The Low preset at 4K, at 187.3 FPS, is unnecessarily fast and sacrifices too much visual detail. Overall, the data suggests that the High preset is the sweet spot for this Inside combination, offering high frame rates at all resolutions without the performance penalty of Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are as follows: the Low preset achieves 241.4 FPS, the Medium preset achieves 225.1 FPS, the High preset achieves 188.4 FPS, and the Ultra preset achieves 184.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 57.3 FPS, indicating that the visual settings have a moderate impact on performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates are: Low at 216.4 FPS, Medium at 199.2 FPS, High at 156.1 FPS, and Ultra at 147 FPS. The gap between the Low and Ultra presets narrows to 69.4 FPS, showing that the resolution increase has a more pronounced effect on the higher-quality presets. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low at 187.3 FPS, Medium at 157.4 FPS, High at 100.2 FPS, and Ultra at 92.5 FPS. The drop from the Medium to High preset at 4K is particularly steep, with a difference of 57.2 FPS, highlighting the increased demand of the High settings at this resolution. The data shows a consistent pattern where the gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases, confirming that the GPU is the main bottleneck at higher pixel counts.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It has a TDP of 65 watts and is manufactured on a 7 nm process. The CPU's benchmark scores indicate a solid mid-range performer, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and a single-core score of 1919. Its average benchmark score of 17489 places it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, and it is closely matched with rivals like the Intel Core i3-14100T, which has a score of 17636.

In Inside, the CPU's role is to maintain a stable frame delivery, but the data suggests it is rarely the limiting factor. The frame rates scale predictably with resolution, which is a hallmark of GPU-bound performance. At 1080p with the Low preset, the system hits 241.4 FPS, which is near the upper limit of what the GPU can output. If the CPU were a bottleneck, the frame rates at lower resolutions would be more compressed across presets, but the data shows a clear separation between Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. This indicates that the RX 9070 has enough headroom to render frames faster than the CPU can instruct it to, but the CPU is still fast enough to keep up with the GPU's demands. The 6 cores and 12 threads of the 4600G are more than sufficient for Inside, a puzzle platformer that does not require high thread counts. The CPU's 8 MB of shared L3 cache and support for DDR4 memory also contribute to its ability to handle the game's data without causing stutters or frame drops.
