Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers an exceptionally smooth experience in Inside, with average frame rates never dipping below 123.5 FPS across any tested resolution or settings preset. The data shows this combination is heavily GPU-limited at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU begins to emerge as a more significant factor, though both components remain far beyond the demands of this 2016 puzzle platformer.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic pattern of GPU-bound behavior. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 185 at 1920x1080 to 164.8 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 20.2 FPS (10.9%), before falling further to 134.3 at 3840x2160, a 50.7 FPS (27.4%) decline from the 1080p result. This progressive degradation with increasing pixel count indicates the RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern is even more pronounced at Ultra settings, where the 1080p average of 185.5 FPS falls to 163.1 at 1440p and then to 123.5 at 4K. The 62 FPS gap between 1080p and 4K Ultra represents a 33.4% performance loss, demonstrating that the GPU's rendering load grows substantially with resolution. Interestingly, the 1080p Ultra average (185.5 FPS) is nearly identical to the 1080p High average (185 FPS), suggesting the CPU may be approaching its limit in both cases.

At Low settings, the scaling is steepest: 242.6 FPS at 1080p drops to 216.1 at 1440p and 187.4 at 4K. The 55.2 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K Low (22.7%) is slightly smaller in percentage terms than the Ultra preset, but the absolute numbers remain high throughout. The data indicates that even at 4K Low, the system maintains nearly 190 FPS, confirming that resolution scaling alone cannot stress this configuration below playable thresholds.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination ranks 681st out of 1,671 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all systems evaluated. This percentile position, roughly the 59th percentile, reflects that while the RTX 4080 SUPER is a top-tier GPU, the Ryzen 5 4600G's older Zen 2 architecture and 6-core/12-thread configuration hold the combo back from the absolute top rankings.

Benchmark results indicate the GPU alone sits in the 88th percentile among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 53,610. Its nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark database include the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (avgScore 53,489, deltaPct 0.2%), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (avgScore 53,414, deltaPct 0.4%), and the AMD Radeon RX 7700S (avgScore 52,505, deltaPct 2.1%). The RTX 4080 SUPER leads these competitors by margins of 0.2% to 2.9%, confirming its position at the high end of GPU performance.

The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 75th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 17,489. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (avgScore 17,482, deltaPct 0%), the Intel Core i5-12450H (avgScore 17,475, deltaPct 0.1%), and the Intel Core i3-14100T (avgScore 17,636, deltaPct -0.8%). The Ryzen 5 4600G's performance is essentially tied with these mid-range processors, which explains why the overall combo rank does not crack the top half despite the GPU's strength.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER brings substantial hardware to this pairing, featuring 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock runs at 1438 MHz with 23 Gbps effective speed, while the base clock of 2295 MHz boosts to 2550 MHz. The GPU's 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units process pixels at 285.6 GPixel/s and textures at 816.0 GTexel/s, delivering 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

In Inside, the GPU's dominance is clear from the measured frame rates. Even at 4K Ultra, the most demanding tested configuration, the system produces 123.5 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is far more than this game requires, as Inside is a 2016 puzzle platformer with modest texture and geometry demands. The GPU's 88th percentile ranking among all graphics cards, coupled with its average benchmark score of 53,610, places it in the top tier of available hardware.

The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores 53,489 with a deltaPct of 0.2%, meaning the RTX 4080 SUPER holds a marginal 0.2% advantage. The gap widens against the Radeon Pro W6600M (0.4% advantage) and the Radeon RX 7700S (2.1% advantage), while the RTX 5070 Ti trails by 2.9%. These figures confirm the RTX 4080 SUPER operates at the apex of GPU performance, though the measured FPS in Inside suggests the game's engine does not fully stress this hardware.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to Ultra settings at 1080p or 1440p as the optimal experience for this combination. At 1080p Ultra, the system delivers 185.5 FPS average, essentially matching the High preset's 185 FPS while providing superior visual quality. The 1440p Ultra result of 163.1 FPS still provides an excellent experience, and the difference between Ultra and High at this resolution is just 1.7 FPS (163.1 vs 164.8), making Ultra the clear choice.

For 4K displays, Ultra settings remain viable with 123.5 FPS average, but the 10.8 FPS gap between Ultra and High at this resolution (123.5 vs 134.3) is the largest across all tested settings. Players prioritizing maximum frame rates at 4K should consider High settings, which maintain 134.3 FPS and still represent a substantial improvement over Medium's 169.7 FPS in the other direction. The Low preset at any resolution yields frame rates above 187 FPS, but the visual fidelity loss is unnecessary given the system's headroom.

The data suggests that Medium settings offer no meaningful advantage over High or Ultra for this configuration. At every resolution, Medium sits between Low and High in frame rate, but the GPU is powerful enough that even Ultra settings remain comfortably above 120 FPS. The 1080p Medium average of 221.5 FPS, while higher than Ultra's 185.5 FPS, does not justify the reduced visual quality when the Ultra preset already exceeds any practical refresh rate requirement.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system produces its highest frame rates. Low settings average 242.6 FPS, Medium averages 221.5 FPS, High averages 185 FPS, and Ultra averages 185.5 FPS. The near-identical High and Ultra results suggest the CPU becomes a limiting factor around the 185 FPS mark, as increasing GPU load from High to Ultra does not reduce average FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong across all presets. Low leads with 216.1 FPS, followed by Medium at 198.8 FPS, High at 164.8 FPS, and Ultra at 163.1 FPS. The 1.7 FPS difference between High and Ultra at this resolution indicates the GPU still has sufficient headroom to handle the extra visual detail without significant cost.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload increases noticeably. Low settings produce 187.4 FPS, Medium drops to 169.7 FPS, High reaches 134.3 FPS, and Ultra averages 123.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a 63.9 FPS reduction (34.1%), which is the largest percentage drop across any resolution, confirming that 4K resolution places the most significant strain on the RTX 4080 SUPER in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 2 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This 7 nm processor from TSMC, codenamed Renoir, features 9,800 million transistors on a 156 mm² die, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

In Inside, the CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p, where the High and Ultra presets produce nearly identical average FPS (185 vs 185.5). This plateau suggests the Ryzen 5 4600G's single-thread performance, measured at 726 in 3DMark single-thread and 1,919 in Cinebench R23 single-core, becomes a limiting factor when the GPU is not fully stressed. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 17,489, places it in the mid-range tier, and its nearest rivals all score within 1% of its performance.

The CPU's 12 threads handle the game's logic without issue, as evidenced by the 242.6 FPS at 1080p Low, but the architecture's age shows when compared to newer processors. The Ryzen 5 4600G's 3DMark scores range from 726 (single-thread) to 4,889 (max threads), with multi-threaded performance of 4,863 for 16 threads. These figures, combined with a PassMark multi-thread score of 15,992, indicate the CPU has sufficient processing power for Inside's puzzle platformer mechanics, though the GPU clearly dominates this pairing in most scenarios. The 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier offer modest overclocking potential, but the measured FPS data shows no CPU bottleneck at 1440p or 4K, where the GPU's workload scales more significantly.
