Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a remarkably smooth experience in Inside, a game that is far more demanding on the GPU than the CPU. The data shows this combination is capable of high refresh rates even at 4K, but the performance scaling across resolutions reveals where each component’s limits lie.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Inside shows a clear and predictable pattern: performance drops as resolution increases, but the drop is not uniform across all settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo hits 243.8 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 218.4 FPS, a reduction of roughly 10%. At 4K Low, the average falls to 188.8 FPS, which is another 14% drop from 1440p. This scaling indicates that even at lower settings, the GPU is still the primary driver of performance, though the CPU is not fully bottlenecked.

The gap between resolutions becomes more pronounced at higher settings. At Ultra, the 1080p score is 181.7 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 162.6 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 120.5 FPS. The difference between 1080p and 4K at Ultra is roughly 34%, which is significant but still leaves the game playable at high frame rates on a 4K display. The data suggests that the RTX 5070 Ti has enough headroom to push high frame rates at 1440p and even 4K, but the CPU’s role becomes more visible at lower resolutions.

At 1080p, the difference between Low (243.8 FPS) and Ultra (181.7 FPS) is about 25%. At 4K, the same settings comparison shows a drop from 188.8 FPS to 120.5 FPS, a reduction of about 36%. This wider spread at 4K indicates that the GPU is working harder as settings increase, and the CPU is less likely to be the limiting factor. The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is more likely to cap performance, but the Ryzen 5 4600G still delivers frame rates well above 180 FPS even at Ultra, so the bottleneck is not severe.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 677th out of 1671 combos for Inside. This places it in the upper half of all tested systems, which is a strong result given that the CPU is a budget-oriented 4000-series part. The rank reflects a balance: the GPU is a high-end Blackwell 2.0 chip, while the CPU is a Zen 2 part with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz and 6 cores.

The GPU itself sits in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 52086. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, which scores 52085, a delta of 0%. This means the RTX 5070 Ti is effectively on par with the previous generation’s top-tier card in raw compute. The CPU, on the other hand, is in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 17489. Its closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, which scores 17482, a delta of 0%. The Intel Core i5-12450H is 0.1% ahead, and the Intel Core i3-14100T is 0.8% behind.

The data suggests that the combo’s rank is driven by the GPU’s strength, but the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to avoid major bottlenecks in this puzzle platformer. The 677th rank out of 1671 means that most better-performing combos use newer or higher-tier CPUs, but for a game like Inside, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo run Inside at 4K with high settings?*

A: Yes. The measured data shows an average of 129.9 FPS at 4K High settings, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo if I want the highest frame rates?

A: At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 243.8 FPS, which is the highest measured score. For a balance of quality and speed, 1440p High delivers 167.6 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or the GPU the bottleneck in this game?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the CPU becomes more relevant, but the Ryzen 5 4600G still delivers over 180 FPS at Ultra, so the bottleneck is minor.

Q: How does the RTX 5070 Ti compare to the RTX 4080 in this context?

A: The average benchmark scores are nearly identical, with the RTX 5070 Ti scoring 52086 and the RTX 4080 scoring 52085, a delta of 0%. They are effectively equal in raw performance.

Q: Does the Ryzen 5 4600G hold back the RTX 5070 Ti?

A: The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are enough for Inside. The data shows that even at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 243.8 FPS, which is high enough that any CPU limitation is not noticeable in practice.

Q: What settings should I use for a consistent 144 FPS experience?

A: At 1440p Medium, the combo averages 201.4 FPS, and at 1440p High, it averages 167.6 FPS. Both are above 144 FPS, so either preset is viable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 243.8 FPS. Medium drops to 224 FPS, High to 187 FPS, and Ultra to 181.7 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is about 25%, showing that the GPU is still capable of high frame rates even at the highest settings.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 218.4 FPS. Medium comes in at 201.4 FPS, High at 167.6 FPS, and Ultra at 162.6 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is about 26%, similar to 1080p, but the absolute values are lower due to the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 188.8 FPS. Medium is 173 FPS, High is 129.9 FPS, and Ultra is 120.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is about 36%, which is the largest spread across the three resolutions. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is working significantly harder as settings increase, and the CPU is less of a factor.

The data shows that the game is playable at high frame rates across all resolution and settings combinations. Even the lowest score, 120.5 FPS at 4K Ultra, is well above the 60 FPS standard. The RTX 5070 Ti’s 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for this title.

Settings Recommendations

For a 144 Hz monitor, the data suggests that 1440p High is the sweet spot, delivering 167.6 FPS. This is above the refresh rate of most high-end displays and offers a better visual experience than Medium, which averages 201.4 FPS but with reduced detail. At 1080p, even Ultra settings deliver 181.7 FPS, so players with a 1080p display can max out the game without concern.

For 4K gaming, the High preset at 129.9 FPS is the best recommendation. It offers a significant improvement over Medium (173 FPS) in visual quality while still maintaining a frame rate that is smooth on most displays. Ultra at 4K drops to 120.5 FPS, which is still playable, but the marginal visual gains may not justify the performance loss.

The data indicates that the Low preset is unnecessary for this combo. Even at 4K Low, the game runs at 188.8 FPS, so there is no need to sacrifice visual fidelity for performance. The Medium preset is a good fallback for players who want a higher frame rate buffer, but High is the recommended balance of quality and speed across all resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 4000 series, built on the Zen 2 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 17489, placing it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. This is a solid result for a part that launched at $154, and it sits close to rivals like the Intel Core i5-12450H, which is 0.1% faster in average score.

In Inside, the CPU’s role is secondary to the GPU. The game is a puzzle platformer that does not require high thread counts. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 243.8 FPS, which suggests the CPU is not a significant bottleneck. However, the CPU’s single-thread performance, as measured by a 3DMark single-thread score of 726, is modest compared to newer parts. This could limit performance in CPU-bound scenarios, but the measured FPS data does not show this as an issue for this title.

The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and PCIe Gen 3 interface are older standards, but they do not appear to hinder performance in Inside. The GPU’s PCIe 5.0 x16 interface is backward compatible, and the game’s data demands are low. The benchmark results indicate that the Ryzen 5 4600G is a capable partner for the RTX 5070 Ti in this specific game, even if it would be a bottleneck in more CPU-intensive titles. The 6 cores and 12 threads provide enough headroom for the game’s logic and physics, and the high boost clock ensures responsive frame times.
