Inside

Inside is a puzzle platformer from 2016, and the measured data for this specific configuration places it in a strong position. The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, indicating a system with significant headroom for this title. The following analysis breaks down the performance characteristics, scaling behavior, and component roles based exclusively on the benchmark records.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data shows a classic pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases, though the magnitude of the drop is moderated by the game's relatively modest graphical demands. At 1080p High settings, the combo produces 185.3 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average falls to 169.6 FPS, a reduction of 15.7 FPS, or roughly 8.5% less performance. The jump to 4K High yields 113.4 FPS, which is 56.2 FPS lower than the 1440p result and 71.9 FPS below the 1080p figure.

The Low settings preset tells a similar story but with a steeper relative drop at 4K. At 1080p Low, the average is 242.3 FPS. At 1440p Low, it is 217.1 FPS, a 25.2 FPS decrease. At 4K Low, the score is 184.5 FPS, which is 57.8 FPS behind 1080p. The 4K Low result is still far above 60 FPS, indicating that even at the highest resolution, the GPU is not severely strained in this title.

The scaling from Medium to Ultra settings at each resolution is more telling about the GPU's role. At 4K, the difference between Medium (172.5 FPS) and Ultra (113.2 FPS) is 59.3 FPS, showing a substantial cost for the highest visual quality. The gap between High (113.4 FPS) and Ultra (113.2 FPS) at 4K is negligible, just 0.2 FPS, which suggests that the High and Ultra presets are nearly equivalent in load for this game. The data indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the limiting component at 4K, as the frame rate drops consistently with rising resolution and settings. At 1080p, the performance ceiling appears to be influenced more by the CPU, as the gap between Low (242.3 FPS) and Medium (224.5 FPS) is smaller than the gap between Medium and High (185.3 FPS), suggesting some inefficiency in scaling at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 694 out of 1671 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the top 41.5% of all configurations in the database for this specific game. The percentile data for the individual components supports this positioning. The CPU sits at the 75th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is at the 84th percentile among all graphics cards. The combo rank is lower than either individual percentile, which is a common pattern when a game is more dependent on one component than the other.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (avgScore 17482, deltaPct 0), the Intel Core i5-12450H (avgScore 17475, deltaPct 0.1), the Intel Core i3-14100T (avgScore 17636, deltaPct -0.8), and the Intel Core i3-13100F (avgScore 17665, deltaPct -1). These scores are all within a 1% band, indicating that the Ryzen 5 4600G's raw compute performance is in a tightly contested cluster with these other chips. The deltaPct values are small, meaning the CPU is effectively tied with these rivals in overall synthetic benchmarks.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (avgScore 42653, deltaPct -0.2), the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (avgScore 42723, deltaPct -0.3), the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (avgScore 41991, deltaPct 1.4), and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 (avgScore 41897, deltaPct 1.6). The RTX 4070 SUPER's avgBenchmarkScore is 42576, placing it slightly below the A6000 and RX 7650 GRE but above the other two rivals. The data shows that the combo's rank in Inside is solid, but not exceptional, given the GPU's high percentile ranking.

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. Its cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, the CPU's role is typically less demanding than in complex simulations, but the thread count still influences minimum frame rates in scenes with many dynamic objects.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark scores provide context for its gaming performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 13593 in multicore and 1919 in single-core. The single-core score is more relevant for game logic in a title like Inside, which often relies on a few main threads. The 3DMark single-thread score is 726, and the 2-thread score is 1430, showing that scaling from one to two threads nearly doubles performance, which is typical for a multi-core chip.

The data shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck in this configuration. At 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 242.3 FPS, which is high enough to stress the CPU's per-thread capacity, but the measured results remain fluid. The 12 threads ensure that background tasks and game threads are handled without significant contention. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking suggests it is a mid-to-upper tier processor, and its performance in this game aligns with that position. The memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while not the highest available, is sufficient for the game's data streaming requirements at the tested settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured average FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of performance.

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows:

• Low: 242.3 FPS
• Medium: 224.5 FPS
• High: 185.3 FPS
• Ultra: 186.0 FPS

The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is just 0.7 FPS, confirming that these presets impose nearly identical loads. The gap from Medium to High is 39.2 FPS, which is a significant step up in visual fidelity cost.

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 217.1 FPS
• Medium: 197.9 FPS
• High: 169.6 FPS
• Ultra: 163.0 FPS

The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p is a loss of 54.1 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra is 6.6 FPS, which is slightly larger than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is starting to feel the resolution increase. All results remain above 160 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 184.5 FPS
• Medium: 172.5 FPS
• High: 113.4 FPS
• Ultra: 113.2 FPS

The 4K results show the largest relative differences. The drop from Medium to High is 59.1 FPS, which is more than double the drop seen at 1440p. This indicates that the High preset at 4K introduces a heavier load than the settings scaling suggests. The Low preset still manages 184.5 FPS, proving that the RTX 4070 SUPER has ample headroom for this game even at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p displays, the High preset at 185.3 FPS provides a balanced experience, offering better visual quality than Medium (224.5 FPS) while still maintaining a frame rate well above 144 Hz. The Ultra preset at 186.0 FPS yields almost identical performance to High, so choosing Ultra is effectively free in terms of frame rate cost.

For 1440p, the Medium preset at 197.9 FPS is the best choice for high-refresh-rate gaming, as it delivers a significant frame rate advantage over High (169.6 FPS) with only a modest visual downgrade. The Ultra preset at 163.0 FPS is also viable for 144 Hz displays, but the 34.9 FPS penalty compared to Medium makes it less efficient.

At 4K, the situation changes. The High preset at 113.4 FPS is the recommended choice for a 60 Hz display, as it provides the best visual fidelity without dropping below the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 113.2 FPS offers no performance advantage, so High is the better pick. For gamers with 120 Hz 4K monitors, the Medium preset at 172.5 FPS is the only option that reaches near that refresh rate, while Low at 184.5 FPS is even faster but sacrifices visual quality. The data shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the frame rate caps out around 113 FPS for the highest-quality presets, making Medium the sweet spot for fast-paced play.
