Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT delivers a remarkably consistent performance profile in Inside, a puzzle platformer whose modest graphical demands are reflected in the high frame rates measured across all tested configurations. The dataset shows this combination ranks 1135th out of 2887 tested combos for this game, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database while still providing triple-digit frame rates at every resolution and settings level tested.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how this combo scales as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the Low preset, the average frame rate drops from 257 FPS at 1080p to 230 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 27 FPS, then falls further to 188 FPS at 4K, representing a 69 FPS total drop from 1080p to 4K. This scaling pattern indicates that even at 4K Low, the system maintains nearly 73% of its 1080p performance, suggesting the RX 7800 XT’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for this game’s data requirements.

Moving to the High preset, the scaling becomes more pronounced. The average FPS at 1080p is 197, dropping to 149 at 1440p and then to 94 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K here is approximately 52%, meaning the 4K result is less than half of the 1080p figure. This steeper decline compared to Low suggests that at higher settings, the GPU is working harder on rendering effects that scale with pixel count, though the absolute numbers remain well above playable thresholds.

The Ultra preset shows the most significant resolution scaling impact. Starting at 194 FPS at 1080p, the average falls to 142 at 1440p and then to 89 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result represents only about 46% of the 1080p Ultra performance. This pattern indicates that Ultra settings introduce additional GPU workload that becomes increasingly demanding as pixel count rises, though even the lowest measured average of 89 FPS at 4K Ultra remains smooth for a puzzle platformer.

The Medium preset provides the most complete data with min and max FPS values recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 237 FPS with a minimum of 201 and maximum of 272. At 1440p Medium, these figures shift to 212 average, 180 minimum, and 244 maximum. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 150 with a minimum of 128 and maximum of 173. The consistent gap between minimum and maximum FPS across resolutions—roughly 71 FPS at 1080p, 64 FPS at 1440p, and 45 FPS at 4K—suggests the frame time variance decreases at higher resolutions, likely because the GPU becomes more consistently utilized.

The resolution scaling data points to the GPU as the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The 1080p to 1440p transition at High costs 48 FPS, while the 1440p to 4K transition at the same settings costs 55 FPS. This nearly linear degradation indicates the RX 7800 XT is handling the increased pixel workload without hitting memory bandwidth constraints, given the 624.1 GB/s available. The overall pattern shows that for Inside, the system is never CPU-bound even at 1080p Low, where 257 FPS is achieved, since the Ryzen 5 5600F’s six cores and twelve threads provide ample headroom for this genre.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process by TSMC with 28,100 million transistors. Its clock speeds are specified as 1295 MHz base, 2124 MHz game clock, and 2430 MHz boost, with memory running at 2438 MHz or 19.5 Gbps effective. The GPU has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 624.1 GB/s bandwidth. These specifications translate into the measured frame rates, with the card’s 3840 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 96 ROPs handling Inside’s rendering tasks efficiently.

The GPU’s benchmark scores in the fact pack provide context for its raw compute capabilities. It achieves a Passmark G3D score of 24176 and a Passmark GPU Compute score of 13473. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 4157, while Geekbench results show 18290 for OpenCL and 54228 for Vulkan. These scores place the GPU at the 51st percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 11627. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 at 11680 (deltaPct -0.5), the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M at 11528 (deltaPct 0.9), the NVIDIA Tesla K20c at 11479 (deltaPct 1.3), and the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT at 11842 (deltaPct -1.8). These rivals are all within 1.8% of the RX 7800 XT’s average benchmark score, though the measured FPS in Inside shows the card performing far above what those rival scores might suggest, indicating the game favors the card’s specific architecture.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant for Inside’s visual style, which uses a dark, atmospheric palette with high-contrast lighting. Even at 4K Ultra, the game does not appear to exceed the available memory, as the 89 FPS average at that setting suggests no memory-related stuttering or frame drops. The memory bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s ensures that texture streaming and frame buffer operations at 4K do not become bottlenecks, as evidenced by the 128 FPS minimum at 4K Medium, which is still comfortably high.

The GPU’s 263 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU requirement indicate the power draw needed to sustain these clock speeds, though the measured FPS data shows the card maintaining consistent performance without thermal throttling indicators. The 2x 8-pin power connectors and dual-slot design are typical for this performance class, and the PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface provides sufficient bandwidth for the card’s data transfer needs.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide clear guidance for optimal settings based on resolution. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver excellent performance, with Low at 257 FPS, Medium at 237 FPS, High at 197 FPS, and Ultra at 194 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is only 3 FPS at this resolution, making Ultra the recommended choice for 1080p users since the visual quality improvement comes at negligible performance cost.

At 2560x1440, the data shows a similar pattern with slightly larger gaps between presets. Low achieves 230 FPS, Medium 212 FPS, High 149 FPS, and Ultra 142 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 63 FPS, which is substantial, while High to Ultra only costs 7 FPS. For 1440p, the High preset appears to offer the best balance, as it provides 149 FPS while the jump to Ultra only gains 7 FPS in return for the highest settings. Medium at 212 FPS is also viable for users prioritizing frame rate, but the 42% increase from Medium to High in visual quality is likely worth the 63 FPS trade-off for most players.

At 3840x2160, the performance differences become more critical. Medium leads with 150 FPS, followed by Low at 188 FPS, High at 94 FPS, and Ultra at 89 FPS. The 4K Medium result with a minimum of 128 FPS and maximum of 173 FPS shows consistent frame delivery. The drop from Medium to High at 4K is 56 FPS, which is a 37% reduction, while High to Ultra costs only 5 FPS. For 4K users, Medium is the recommended preset because it maintains 150 FPS average with a solid minimum of 128 FPS, while High and Ultra fall to 94 and 89 FPS respectively. The Low preset at 188 FPS is also viable, but Medium provides a better visual experience for only a 38 FPS reduction.

The data suggests that the performance ceiling for this combo in Inside is around 257 FPS at 1080p Low, which may be limited by the CPU or game engine rather than the GPU. The consistent pattern across all resolutions shows that the RX 7800 XT has headroom at lower settings, and users should select presets based on their display refresh rate. For 60 Hz displays, even 4K Ultra at 89 FPS exceeds refresh rate requirements, while for 144 Hz displays, 1080p Ultra at 194 FPS and 1440p High at 149 FPS are the best matches.

Given that Inside is a puzzle platformer with relatively low graphical demands, the rank reflects that many high-end systems can achieve similar or higher frame rates, but this combo still delivers excellent playability.

The rank of 1135 suggests that while the RX 7800 XT is a capable GPU—ranking at the 51st percentile among all GPUs—the combination with the Ryzen 5 5600F places it slightly above the midpoint of tested combos. The CPU’s percentile of 85 among all CPUs indicates it is a strong processor, and the pairing produces results that are competitive for this game. The 4K Ultra result of 89 FPS is particularly notable when considering the combo’s rank, as many systems ranked higher may not achieve such smooth 4K performance in more demanding titles.

The measured FPS data shows that this combo exceeds 60 FPS at all tested settings and resolutions, which is the primary requirement for a smooth experience in Inside. The rank relative to other combos suggests that users with this hardware can expect consistent high frame rates without needing to compromise on settings, even at 4K where the Medium preset delivers 150 FPS. The gap between this combo’s rank and its actual performance indicates that the game’s low system requirements allow many mid-range and high-end systems to perform similarly, compressing the rank distribution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The CPU has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3 cache.

In Inside, the CPU’s role is secondary to the GPU due to the game’s puzzle platformer nature, which does not require complex physics or AI calculations. The 6 cores and 12 threads provide ample parallel processing capability, but the game likely uses only a fraction of this capacity. The boost clock of 4.00 GHz ensures responsive single-threaded performance, which is important for games that rely on a primary game thread. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 257 FPS, which is close to the maximum achievable with this hardware, suggesting the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU sufficiently at lower resolutions and settings.

The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking and benchmark scores indicate it is a well-rounded processor, but in Inside, the bottleneck is rarely the CPU. Even at 4K Ultra where the GPU is most stressed, the CPU does not appear to limit performance, as the frame rate drops are consistent with GPU scaling rather than CPU bottlenecks. The memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is sufficient for this game’s data streaming needs, and the 32 MB L3 cache helps with any repetitive data access patterns in the game’s rendering loop. For users playing Inside, the Ryzen 5 5600F provides all necessary CPU performance without becoming a limiting factor.
