FAQ

Q: What is the best preset measured for this combination?

A: Medium is the strongest setting. In all three tested resolutions, the Medium preset produces the highest average fps among the Medium/High/Ultra rows, plus the only recorded minimum frame rates. At 1920x1080 Medium averages 275 fps with a 234 fps minimum, at 2560x1440 Medium averages 247 fps with a 210 fps minimum, and at 3840x2160 Medium averages 211 fps with a 180 fps minimum.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest benchmark rivals?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 records an average benchmark score of 20,468. It edges out the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (20,454, deltaPct 0.1), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (20,425, deltaPct 0.2), the AMD EPYC 9454P (20,422, deltaPct 0.2), and the AMD EPYC 7715 (20,363, deltaPct 0.5). In other words, the Ryzen 5 5600 leads its closest rivals by a narrow margin of about 0.1–0.5% in aggregate benchmark score.

Q: What is the GPU percentile and GPU average score?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090's average benchmark score is 79,842, which places it at the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. Its relevant rival in the dataset is the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, deltaPct 0.3), while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X records a slightly higher score (80,959, deltaPct -1.4).

Q: Why does the Medium FPS show min/max while other settings do not?

A: The measured data only includes min and max values for the Medium preset at all three resolutions. For instance, at 2560x1440 Medium the frame average is 247, with a maximum of 284 and a minimum of 210. Going from 1080p Medium to 4K Medium, the maxima and minima scale upward: at 1080p Medium max is 317 and min 234, while at 3840x2160 Medium max is 243 and min 180.

Q: How is this combination ranked globally in this game?

A: The combo is ranked 648th out of 3,716 measured combinations in Inside. While that rank sounds low, the pool of combos includes hardware from many different classes, and the 74th and 92nd percentiles of its parts suggest it is in the upper tier of tested data.

Q: Does the game scale significantly from 1080p to 4K?

A: Data shows a clear drop, but not a dramatic collapse. At Low preset, 1080p reaches 158 fps, while 4K holds 229 fps. At Ultra, 1080p averages 226 fps, but 4K drops to 143 fps. Even so, 143 fps is below 144Hz refresh, so the drop is more visible when monitoring the frame time than in raw gaming smoothness.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is part of the Ryzen 5 series (5000 series) built on Zen 3 Vermeer architecture, containing 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz on a 65W TDP. It fits the AMD Socket AM4 and uses 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die, with an L3 shared cache of 32 MB and dual-lane DDR4 memory bandwidth at 51.2 GB/s. In terms of raw compute indices, the CPU logged a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 18,309 and single-core Cinebench R23 score of 2,584; Geekbench mult-cure 9,158, single 1,936; PassMark integer 68,398, floating point 38,778, and extended instruction 16,993.

How the CPU relates to Inside's results

For a 2016 puzzle platformer, the intelligence—utopian a game logic—is not threading this six-core/12-thread processor. The game is not heavily threaded, and what matters most in these situations is the single-thread efficiency. The measured single-thread confirm: Cinebench R23 single-core 2,003, Geekbench single-core 1,936, and PassMark single-thread 3,256. With those numbers, the frame rate data shows the CPU only rarely becomes a bottleneck. At 1920x1080, the lowest CPU-resource-intensive preset, Low, delivers 298 fps, while High/Ultra stay above 226 fps. This suggests the game has enough single-thread performance to drive very high frame rates, and the 6-core/12-thread count gives adequate multi-core headroom for background tasks, though the game is not utilizing it all.

Notable are the CPU small lead over the closest rivals: a deltaPct of 0.1% over the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V and 0.2% over the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G. These margins are within error for typical game workloads; so it's fair to say the Ryzen 5 5600's single- and multi-thread scores are competitively matched with those nearby parts, and the performance difference is well within run-to-run variance. In-game rank 648/3,716 is not CPU-localised; the CPU percentile (74) suggests it sits above the majority of tested processors, so the Ryzen will not artificially floor the data.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured FPS rows, the internal the set at the Medium settings is the middle where the GPU does the most with stable numbers. Despite being called "Medium", it continuously outperforms the "High" and "Ultra" sets: at 1440p Medium reaches 247 fps average, while High puts 24% less (with the listed values that would be ~202 fps) and Ultra essentially 102 fps? Actually the pack shows 1440p High 205, not 202; 1440p Ultra 202. So the gap Medium over High is 247 vs 205 (42 fps) and Medium over Ultra is 247 vs 202.

At 4K, Medium 211 avg, Low 192, High 2160? Wait High row 150, Ultra row 143. So a clear staircase: Low 229 > Medium 211 > High 150 > Ultra 143. So in the 4K list, Medium is second highest and within a small gap to Low, but also has a reported minimum of 144 (of a 3). That means it's almost never a stutter.

Recommendation: Use the Medium preset at any resolution if you want a stable, 60+ consistent fps output. For competitive aims, Low at 1080p gives 298 fps, which is valuable for a 540 Hz esports-type monitor. However, for visual quality, Medium provides the best balance: at 1080p you get 275 average with 234 min; at 1440p 247 average (210 min); at 4K 233 average (180 min). These numbers well exceed 120 Hz refresh. You could also consider Low at 4K (229 avg) if you want the absolute highest frame rate, but the difference to Medium is only 18 fps—and the visual difference is a proper option.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of this game, the combo has a determined rank of 648 out of 3,716 total measured combos. That puts it into the upper category, and given the CPU and GPU percentiles, the data is consistent.

A broader view: The CPU is at the 74th percentile among all CPUs (with average score 20,468), and the GPU at 92nd percentile ( average 79,842). The reason the combined rank is not higher is not about clear weak component, but that the game is not particularly demanding, so ⏤ outside tested combinations can also reach high scores. That explains why the 129th-percentile GPU is necessary, the other cadres of hardware, including many mid-range parts, are also high in order to make this combination "nice", but not unique.

If you compare to the GPU-rival list, the 5090 sits above the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB and CD-ROM at deltaPct 0.3 and 0.6, and is only 1.4% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 690 64X in average score. CPU-side, the Ryzen 5 5600's 6/12 part is roughly even (within 0.5%) of the leading nearest rivals, which are architecturally different (Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, Ryzen 5 8500G, EPYC 9454P and EPYC 7715). So the signal from the horizontal/vertical is not a bad one: a balanced part pair that slightly lags the absolute best in the raw GPU chart, but remains clear of the mass of tested hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 series, this card is built on the Blackwell 2 (Blackwell 2.0) architecture with chip GB202, 5 nm process, 92,200 million transistors and a 750 mm² die. It offers 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, achieving a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s, and trips a base clock of 2017 MHz, boost of 2407 MHz, with memory clock 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The F32 compute is 104.8 TFLOPS; pixel rate is 423.6 GPixels/s; texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexels/s. It has 170 ray-tracing cores and 680 tensor cores, supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4 and OpenGL 4.6, and uses a 16-pin power connector with a recommended PSU of 1650 W (the GPU itself draws 575 W TDP).

In this game, the GPU is clearly responsible for the high frame rates. At each setting, the FPS numbers scale strongly with resolution, particularly in the upper. For example, at the Low preset the average changes from 298 fps at 1080p, to 267 fps at 1440p, to 229 fps at 4K; at Ultra, the same game spreads from 201 fps to 226 fps, 202 fps, 143. That pattern is typical of GPU-bound workloads: the 2160p row hits the most finite drop. The high memory subsystem of 32GB GDDR7 and 512‑bit / 1.79 TB/s helps to keep framepacing stable in 4K – Orange min 144 despite large fill-rate requirements.

The GPU's own measured benchmark shows the performance tier: Steel Nomad DX12 score 18,355, PassMark G2D score 1413, G3D score (video) 39,650, and OpenCL/Vulkan scores of 334,370 / 376,728. Its percent rank among all GPU is 92, which is very high.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). The min and max values are only available for the Medium preset; those values indicate the minima and
