CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It uses a 7 nm process from TSMC, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The CPU’s cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The TDP is 65 W, and it uses the AMD Socket AM4. The processor has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, but the database does not record any overclocked test results.

For Inside, the CPU’s role is modest because the game is a puzzle platformer with relatively simple scene complexity. The measured FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings reaches 257 FPS, which is likely limited by the game engine or the measurement method rather than the CPU. The single-thread benchmark score is 2872, and the multithread score is 19236, with a physics score of 1043. These numbers show a solid mid-range desktop processor, but the game’s low computational demand means that even at 1080p, the CPU does not appear to be a bottleneck. The data shows that at 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average FPS is 175, which is still very high and suggests that the GPU handles the resolution scaling without additional CPU strain.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, and the Intel Core i9-12900T. The average scores differ by less than 0.5%, so the Ryzen 5 5600F is effectively in a performance tier with those processors. The percentile versus all CPUs is 85, meaning it outperforms 85% of all CPUs in the database. For a game like Inside, this level of CPU performance is more than adequate; the recorded frame rates at all resolutions and settings confirm that the processor is not a limiting factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT ranks 1719 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This rank places it in the 46th percentile of all combos, which is a middle-of-the-pack result. However, the absolute FPS numbers are exceptionally high for this game, so the rank reflects the fact that many other combos (likely with much more powerful GPUs) also achieve very high frame rates in a lightweight title. The rank of 1719 does not indicate poor performance; it simply means that a large number of tested systems also produce high numbers.

The combo’s rank is heavily influenced by the GPU’s capability. The Radeon RX 7700 XT has an average benchmark score of 22549, with a percentile versus all GPUs of 67. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile (score 22435, delta 0.5%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (score 22729, delta -0.8%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (score 22895, delta -1.5%), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (score 22170, delta 1.7%). These deltas are small, indicating that the RX 7700 XT sits in a tight performance band with those GPUs. In Inside, the GPU’s 12 GB of memory and high bandwidth help maintain high frame rates even at 4K.

Compared to the top-ranked combos, the 1719 rank shows that this system is not in the elite tier for this game, but the measured FPS at 1920x1080 Ultra (184 FPS) and 2560x1440 Ultra (132 FPS) are well above the thresholds for smooth gameplay. The rank is a relative measure, and the absolute numbers are what matter for practical use. The database shows that this combo delivers a playable experience at every resolution and preset, which is the primary takeaway.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (3840x2160, 2560x1440, 1920x1080) and four settings levels (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). The database records average FPS for all rows, with minimum and maximum values only for the Medium settings at each resolution.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS scales from 175 on Low to 140 on Medium, 87 on High, and 83 on Ultra. The Medium row includes a minimum of 119 FPS and a maximum of 161 FPS, showing a 42 FPS range. The drop from Low to Medium is 35 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is 53 FPS, which is the largest single step at this resolution. High to Ultra only drops 4 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset adds little additional cost over High. At 4K, the lowest recorded average is 83 FPS, which is still comfortably above 60 FPS, so all settings are playable.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 230 FPS on Low, 212 FPS on Medium, 139 FPS on High, and 132 FPS on Ultra. The Medium row shows a minimum of 180 FPS and a maximum of 244 FPS. The transition from Medium to High is a 73 FPS drop, which is significant. High to Ultra only drops 7 FPS. Even at Ultra, the average is 132 FPS, which is far above any common refresh rate target. Low settings at 1440p delivers 230 FPS, which is nearly double the 120 Hz mark.

At 1920x1080, the averages are 257 FPS on Low, 237 FPS on Medium, 193 FPS on High, and 184 FPS on Ultra. The Medium row has a minimum of 201 FPS and a maximum of 272 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 20 FPS, and Medium to High is 44 FPS, while High to Ultra is only 9 FPS. The highest recorded average for this combo is 257 FPS at 1080p Low. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 184 FPS, which is still very high.

The pattern across all resolutions is that the Ultra preset costs only a small amount over High, while the Medium to High step is the largest performance hit. The data shows that this GPU/CPU combo can push well beyond 60 FPS at 4K on any settings and beyond 140 FPS at 1440p on Ultra.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units, along with 54 ray tracing cores. The GPU’s clocks are a base of 1435 MHz, a boost of 2544 MHz, and a game clock of 2171 MHz. The memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, using 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The GPU’s FP32 performance is 35.17 TFLOPS, and the pixel rate is 244.2 GPixel/s with a texture rate of 549.5 GTexel/s. The TDP is 245 W, and it requires a 550 W power supply, using two 8-pin connectors.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 22549, with a percentile versus all GPUs of 67. Its nearest rivals are all within a 1.7% delta, which shows that the RX 7700 XT performs similarly to the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Mobile, RTX 4060 Mobile, RTX 2080, and AMD RX 5700 in general benchmarks. For Inside specifically, the GPU’s role is to handle the resolution and settings scaling. The measured FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra is 83, which suggests that the GPU is the primary factor at that resolution and setting, since the CPU is unlikely to be a bottleneck in a 2D game. At 1920x1080 Low, the average of 257 FPS likely approaches the engine’s frame rate cap or the measurement ceiling.

The 12 GB memory capacity is more than enough for Inside, which is a visually simple game. The high bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s ensures that texture streaming and memory access are not limiting factors. The GPU’s boost clock of 2544 MHz and game clock of 2171 MHz deliver consistent performance across the tested settings. The data indicates that the RX 7700 XT can handle 4K Ultra with an average above 80 FPS, which is a strong result for a game that is not graphically intensive.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience depends on the display’s resolution and refresh rate. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 83 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for a 60 Hz display. The High preset averages 87 FPS, which is only 4 FPS higher, so the visual improvement from Ultra to High is minor in performance terms. The Medium preset at 4K averages 140 FPS, which is more than double the Ultra result, but the visual quality difference between Medium and Ultra may matter for a game with a moody art style. For a 4K 120 Hz display, Medium at 140 FPS is the only preset that exceeds 120 FPS, while Low at 175 FPS also qualifies. The minimum FPS for 4K Medium is 119, which is just below 120, so there could be occasional dips below the refresh rate.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 132 FPS, which is above 120 FPS and suitable for a 144 Hz display, though the minimum is not recorded. The High preset averages 139 FPS, very close to Ultra. Medium averages 212 FPS, which is above 144 Hz and even above 200 Hz. Low at 230 FPS is the highest at this resolution. For a 1440p 144 Hz monitor, Ultra or High are both viable, with Medium providing a large headroom for consistent frame pacing. The Medium row’s minimum of 180 FPS ensures no dips below 144.

At 1920x1080, all settings average well above 180 FPS. Ultra averages 184 FPS, High averages 193 FPS, Medium averages 237 FPS, and Low averages 257 FPS. For a 1080p 240 Hz display, Medium with a minimum of 201 FPS is the best choice, as it stays above 200 FPS at all times. Low also works, but the visual downgrade is not worth the extra 20 FPS. For a 144 Hz display, Ultra at 184 FPS is more than enough. The High preset at 193 FPS is nearly identical in performance to Ultra, so using Ultra is recommended for maximum visual quality.

The general recommendation from the data is to use the Ultra preset at 1080p and 1440p, as the FPS remains above 130 in both cases. At 4K, the choice depends on the refresh rate: for 60 Hz, Ultra is fine; for 120 Hz, Medium is the only preset that consistently exceeds 120 FPS. The Low preset offers the highest frame rates but sacrifices visual quality, which is not necessary given the high averages on higher settings.
