Inside

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Inside shows a predictable but telling pattern as resolution scales upward. At 1080p with Low settings, the Ryzen 5 5600 + RTX 5070 combination delivers 299 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 269.1 FPS, a reduction of roughly 10%, while 4K Low yields 225.1 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is modest, but the jump to 4K introduces a more substantial performance cost.

At High settings, the resolution scaling is steeper. The combo produces 226.9 FPS at 1080p, 179.4 FPS at 1440p, and 110.6 FPS at 4K. That represents a 51% drop from 1080p to 4K. The pattern is similar for Ultra settings: 225.4 FPS at 1080p, 170.5 FPS at 1440p, and 108.8 FPS at 4K. Notably, the gap between High and Ultra at any given resolution is small — about 1.5 FPS at 1080p and 1.8 FPS at 4K — which suggests that the Ultra preset is not adding significant rendering complexity for this game.

The Medium preset shows the most interesting scaling behavior. At 1080p, Medium runs at 276 FPS, which is 50 FPS higher than High. At 1440p, Medium achieves 247.1 FPS, and at 4K it reaches 177.2 FPS. The 4K Medium result is 66.6 FPS higher than 4K High, indicating that Medium is the sweet spot for resolving the GPU's capability without hitting the diminishing returns of higher presets.

The limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the spread between Low (299 FPS) and Ultra (225.4 FPS) is 73.6 FPS, suggesting the CPU is becoming more relevant at lower resolutions where the GPU has less work per frame. At 4K, the spread between Low (225.1 FPS) and Ultra (108.8 FPS) is 116.3 FPS, which indicates the GPU is the dominant constraint. The data shows that this combo is capable of well over 100 FPS at 4K even on Ultra, so Inside is not a demanding title for this hardware pairing.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070's specifications align with the measured results. It carries 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2325 MHz with a boost clock of 2512 MHz. Its 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units provide the raw throughput for the frame rates observed.

The GPU's compute capabilities are substantial: 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s. The pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s helps explain why even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains 108.8 FPS. The memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s is ample for a game like Inside, which does not require massive texture streaming.

Relative to other GPUs in the benchmark database, the RTX 5070 sits in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (with an average score 0.2% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (0.6% higher average score), and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 (0.5% lower average score). The RTX 5070's average benchmark score of 41687 places it within a tight cluster of these competing cards, with deltas under 1% in all cases.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5077 and the Geekbench OpenCL score of 185269 further contextualize the GPU's performance. The Passmark G3D score of 29137 reinforces that this is a high-end card. For Inside specifically, the GPU is never the bottleneck at 1080p, as even Ultra settings produce 225.4 FPS. At 4K, the GPU becomes more relevant, but the lowest measured result (108.8 FPS at Ultra) remains well above playable thresholds.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600 contributes meaningfully to this combo's performance, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed. This processor features 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer), manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock of 3.50 GHz boosts up to 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP.

The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes provides sufficient bandwidth for the RTX 5070.

Benchmark results for the CPU show strong single-thread and multi-thread performance. The Cinebench R23 multicore score is 18309, while the single-core score is 2584. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5641 and max-thread score of 5659 indicate consistent scaling with thread count. The Passmark multithread score of 21541 and single-thread score of 3256 place this CPU in the 79th percentile among all CPUs.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Xeon D-1746TER (0.6% higher average score), AMD EPYC 9554P (0.6% lower), and Intel Core i7-11700F (0.9% lower). These deltas are minimal, confirming the Ryzen 5 5600's position in the mid-range desktop segment.

For Inside, the CPU's role becomes evident when comparing 1080p Low at 299 FPS versus 4K Low at 225.1 FPS. The 73.9 FPS gap indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of driving frames well beyond what the GPU can render at higher resolutions. The 12 threads help maintain smooth frame delivery even when the game engine has background tasks, though Inside is not a heavily threaded title.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination achieves rank 413 out of 1671 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the top 25% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the strong synergy between a capable 6-core CPU and a high-end Blackwell GPU.

The rank is driven primarily by the GPU's ability to maintain high frame rates across all resolutions. The RTX 5070's 83rd percentile standing among GPUs contributes more to this result than the CPU's 79th percentile among processors. Given that Inside is not a CPU-intensive title, the CPU's influence on the final ranking is secondary to the GPU's raw rendering power.

Compared to alternative pairings, this combo's strength lies in its balanced performance at 1440p and 4K. The 1440p High result of 179.4 FPS and 4K High result of 110.6 FPS represent strong outcomes for a game that does not push modern hardware to its limits. The rank of 413 suggests that a significant number of combos deliver higher performance, but those are likely to feature more expensive CPUs or newer GPU generations.

The data indicates that this pairing is well suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming in Inside, while also being capable of 4K at high frame rates. The measured results show no scenario where the combo dips below 100 FPS, which is a notable achievement for a puzzle platformer.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 299 FPS, which is the highest measured result. However, Medium at 276 FPS is only 23 FPS lower and likely offers better visual fidelity. At 1440p, Medium at 247.1 FPS is the recommended choice, as it is 22 FPS above High and 78 FPS above Ultra.

For 4K, Medium at 177.2 FPS is the clear sweet spot. It is 66.6 FPS higher than High (110.6 FPS) and 68.4 FPS higher than Ultra (108.8 FPS). The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is minimal, so there is no reason to select Ultra over High unless visual quality is the sole priority.

The Low preset at 4K (225.1 FPS) is interesting because it exceeds the High preset at 1080p (226.9 FPS) by only 1.8 FPS. This suggests that Low settings reduce GPU load enough to allow high frame rates regardless of resolution, but Medium provides a better balance of visual quality and performance.

The recommendation is Medium settings for all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium offers 276 FPS; at 1440p, 247.1 FPS; and at 4K, 177.2 FPS. These results provide a comfortable margin above 144 Hz displays at 1080p and 1440p, and above 60 Hz displays at 4K. High and Ultra settings yield diminishing returns, with less than 2 FPS separating them at every resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its peak performance. Low settings produce 299 FPS, Medium achieves 276 FPS, High reaches 226.9 FPS, and Ultra hits 225.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 73.6 FPS, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High (49.1 FPS).

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings yield 269.1 FPS, Medium produces 247.1 FPS, High delivers 179.4 FPS, and Ultra achieves 170.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium narrows to 22 FPS, while the Medium-to-High drop expands to 67.7 FPS. Ultra is 8.9 FPS below High.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Low settings still produce 225.1 FPS, a remarkable result for 4K. Medium follows at 177.2 FPS, High at 110.6 FPS, and Ultra at 108.8 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra shrinks to just 1.8 FPS, confirming that the Ultra preset adds negligible visual benefit in this game.

The scaling efficiency from 1080p to 4K varies by preset. Low settings drop 24.7% from 299 to 225.1 FPS. Medium drops 35.8% from 276 to 177.2 FPS. High drops 51.2% from 226.9 to 110.6 FPS. Ultra drops 51.7% from 225.4 to 108.8 FPS. The data shows that lower presets scale more gracefully to higher resolutions, while higher presets incur steeper penalties as pixel count increases.
