GPU Role

The RTX 4060’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory is more than sufficient for Inside, a game that does not stress VRAM capacity. The GPU’s boost clock of 2460 MHz and memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s contribute to the high frame rates observed. In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4060 scores 19,545 in Passmark G3D and 2,302 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with a percentile rank of 66 among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals—AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23,321, -0.6%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (23,338, -0.7%), Intel Arc B580 (23,021, +0.7%), and AMD Radeon 760M (22,999, +0.8%)—are all within 1% of its average score of 23,181. This indicates the GPU is a mid-tier performer, but for Inside it is clearly overkill. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (72.1) and 4K High (75.1) show that even at the highest resolution, the GPU maintains playable rates. The 8 GB VRAM is never a limiting factor; the game’s modest texture and geometry demands are easily handled.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 159.5 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for high-refresh displays. Medium (226.7) and Low (239.4) offer even higher rates, but the visual quality loss is unnecessary given the headroom. For 2560x1440, Ultra still provides 114.6 FPS, making it the best choice for a balance of quality and speed; High (122.7) is marginally faster but the difference is negligible. At 3840x2160, Ultra drops to 72.1 FPS, while High reaches 75.1 FPS—a small but consistent advantage. Since the game is not visually demanding, the Ultra preset at 1080p and 1440p is recommended, while High is the better pick at 4K to gain a few extra frames without sacrificing much detail. The data shows that the gap between Low and Ultra is modest at all resolutions, so users can comfortably run the highest settings without worrying about performance dips.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 998th out of 1,671 tested combinations for Inside, placing it in the lower half of the database. This rank reflects the overall performance of the CPU and GPU across a wide range of games, not just this title. The Ryzen 5 4600G’s average benchmark score of 17,489 puts it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, while the RTX 4060’s average score of 23,181 places it in the 66th percentile of GPUs. Despite these mid-tier positions, the measured FPS in Inside are exceptionally high—the game is lightweight, and the combo easily exceeds 60 FPS at every resolution and preset tested. The rank is therefore not indicative of the experience in this specific game; it simply reflects the hardware’s standing in a broader benchmark database. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, the combo is more than adequate, and the rank should not deter potential users.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It has 8 MB of shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In Cinebench R23, it scores 13,593 in multi-core and 1,919 in single-core, while its Geekbench scores are 6,093 (multi) and 1,575 (single). These numbers place it within 1% of its nearest rivals, as noted earlier. For Inside, the CPU is not a bottleneck; the game’s physics and logic are light, and the 6 cores are more than enough. The integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are irrelevant here because the discrete RTX 4060 handles all rendering. The CPU’s 12 threads ensure smooth background tasks, but the game’s frame rates are primarily GPU-limited, as evidenced by the scaling across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the CPU can push 239.4 FPS, indicating that even the fastest settings do not expose a CPU limitation.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four presets. At 1920x1080, the average FPS are: Low 239.4, Medium 226.7, High 165.8, and Ultra 159.5. The drop from Low to Medium is only 12.7 FPS, while High and Ultra are nearly identical, suggesting that the game’s higher presets add minimal load. At 2560x1440, the numbers are: Low 216.9, Medium 192, High 122.7, and Ultra 114.6. The gap between Medium and High is substantial (69.3 FPS), indicating that High and Ultra introduce more demanding effects. At 3840x2160, the results are: Low 149.5, Medium 123.2, High 75.1, and Ultra 72.1. Here, the difference between High and Ultra is only 3 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High is 48.1 FPS. This pattern shows that the GPU’s performance scales predictably with resolution, and the game’s settings have a moderate impact. The 4K Ultra result of 72.1 FPS is still above the 60 FPS target, making the combo viable for 4K gaming in this title. Overall, the data confirms that the Ryzen 5 4600G + RTX 4060 is a strong pairing for Inside, delivering smooth gameplay across all tested configurations.
