Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a remarkably smooth experience in Inside, with the data showing that the frame rate scales almost linearly with resolution, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher settings. The measured results place this combo in the 1496th position out of 2887 tested combinations, a solidly mid-pack ranking that reflects a balanced pairing capable of high refresh rates at 1440p and even playable 4K performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates reveal a clear and predictable pattern of performance scaling across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo achieves an average of 177 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average drops to 127 FPS, which represents a 28% reduction in performance. At 3840x2160 with High settings, the average further declines to 80 FPS, a 55% drop from the 1080p result. This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario, where the rendering load increases exponentially with pixel count.

The data becomes more revealing when examining the Low and Ultra presets across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system produces 257 FPS, while at 1440p Low it reaches 230 FPS, and at 4K Low it still manages 160 FPS. These figures demonstrate that even at the lowest settings, the resolution scaling remains significant, confirming that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck. The delta between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution further underscores this point: at 1080p, the gap between 257 FPS (Low) and 168 FPS (Ultra) is 89 FPS, while at 4K, the gap between 160 FPS (Low) and 76 FPS (Ultra) is 84 FPS.

The Medium preset provides the most granular data, as it is the only preset with recorded minimum and maximum frame rates. At 1080p Medium, the average is 237 FPS with a minimum of 201 FPS and a maximum of 272 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 203 FPS with a minimum of 173 FPS and a maximum of 234 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 FPS and a maximum of 147 FPS. The minimum frame rates at each resolution stay comfortably above 100 FPS, indicating that even in demanding scenes, the combo maintains fluid gameplay.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at High settings shows a 50 FPS loss, while the scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings shows a 47 FPS loss. This near-consistent drop per resolution step indicates that the GPU's pixel throughput is the primary constraint. The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings, but the data suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600F has sufficient headroom to feed the RX 6750 XT effectively. The 4K Low result of 160 FPS is particularly telling, as it shows that even with minimal GPU load, the system can achieve high frame rates, but the CPU does not become a limiting factor at this level.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. Its base clock is 3.00 GHz with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, and it has a 65W TDP. The processor features a 32 MB shared L3 cache, with 64 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core. The CPU's PassMark multithread score is 19236, and its single-thread score is 2872, with an average benchmark score of 36945.

In the context of Inside, a puzzle platformer that does not typically demand heavy multi-threaded processing, the CPU's single-thread performance is more relevant. The single-thread score of 2872 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, indicating strong per-core performance. The nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark data include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with an average score of 36938 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D with 37018 (-0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 with 37093 (-0.4% delta). These closely matched scores suggest that the 5600F is competitive with modern mid-range processors.

The measured frame rates in Inside show that even at 1080p Low, the system achieves 257 FPS, which is well beyond the refresh rate of most monitors. The fact that the frame rate scales down to 160 FPS at 4K Low indicates that the CPU is not holding back the GPU at any resolution. The processor's 12 threads and 4.00 GHz boost clock provide enough computational headroom for the game's physics and logic, which are typically light in this genre. The data does not show any significant frame rate drop that would indicate CPU bottlenecking, as the scaling from 1080p to 4K is smooth and consistent.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and dual-channel DDR4 support are adequate for this workload, and the PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes ensures that the GPU can communicate efficiently. The PassMark physics score of 1043 and floating-point math score of 34548 further indicate that the CPU can handle the game's modest computational demands without issue. The benchmark results show that the Ryzen 5 5600F is a capable partner for the RX 6750 XT in this title, with no evidence of the CPU being a limiting factor even at the highest frame rates.

The GPU's performance characteristics align well with the game's engine, which is not graphically demanding but rewards high frame rates. The RX 6750 XT's 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance provides ample compute headroom, and the 40 ray tracing cores, while not used in this game, indicate the card's modern architecture. The measured results confirm that the GPU is the primary driver of performance, and its capabilities are well-matched to the CPU in this configuration.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimizing the experience in Inside with this hardware combination. For users prioritizing the highest frame rates at 1080p, the Low preset delivers 257 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the Medium preset at 1080p provides a better balance, with an average of 237 FPS and a minimum of 201 FPS, ensuring no dips below the 200 FPS threshold while offering improved visual quality over Low.

At 1440p, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it delivers an average of 203 FPS with a minimum of 173 FPS, providing a flawless experience on 144Hz displays. The High preset at 1440p yields 127 FPS, which is still excellent, but the Medium preset's higher minimum frame rate of 173 FPS offers more consistent performance. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces 121 FPS, but the 82 FPS difference between Low and Ultra suggests that the visual improvements may not justify the performance cost for competitive play.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the clear winner, with an average of 128 FPS and a minimum of 109 FPS, providing a smooth and responsive experience on 4K displays. The High preset at 4K drops to 80 FPS, which is acceptable, but the Medium preset's minimum frame rate of 109 FPS ensures no noticeable stuttering. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 76 FPS, which approaches the threshold where frame pacing becomes critical, and the Low preset at 4K, while achieving 160 FPS, sacrifices too much visual fidelity for the modest gain over Medium.

The data indicates that the Medium preset offers the best overall experience across all three resolutions, providing the highest minimum frame rates and excellent averages. At 1080p Medium, the system achieves 237 FPS with a minimum of 201 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it achieves 203 FPS with a minimum of 173 FPS; and at 4K Medium, it achieves 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 FPS. This consistency across resolutions makes Medium the optimal setting for users who want a balance of visual quality and performance, ensuring that the game remains fluid in all scenarios. The High preset is suitable for users who prefer slightly better visuals and have displays with lower refresh rates, while the Ultra preset should be reserved for users who prioritize image quality over frame rate and have the tolerance for the lower minimum frame rates.
