GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration, and its specifications explain why Inside runs at such high frame rates. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, this GPU contains 8,448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output pipelines. The chip operates at a base clock of 2340 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz, supported by 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus.

The memory subsystem delivers 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves more than sufficient for a game from 2016. Even at 4K resolution with Ultra settings, the frame rate only drops to 117 FPS, suggesting the GPU's compute capabilities—44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance—are the limiting factor rather than memory throughput. The GPU's 66 ray tracing cores and 264 tensor cores remain largely idle in this title, as Inside does not utilize these features in its standard rendering path.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's benchmark scores reinforce its position in the market. With a Passmark G3D score of 31,811 and a percentile rank of 76 against all GPUs, it sits near the top of the performance hierarchy. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 at 31,206 (a -0.4% delta), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at 31,220 (-0.4%), and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at 31,532 (-1.4%). The NVIDIA TITAN RTX trails at 31,676 (-1.9%), meaning the 4070 Ti SUPER is effectively within 2% of several high-end workstation and enthusiast cards.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 948 out of 2,887 tested configurations places it in the 67th percentile of all systems tested for Inside. This means 1,939 other combos outperform this pairing, while 947 perform worse. Given the game's age and modest graphical requirements, this ranking reflects that many higher-end combinations—likely featuring newer GPUs or overclocked variants—can push even higher frame rates.

However, the absolute performance numbers contextualize this ranking. At 1080p, this combo never drops below 194 FPS even at Ultra settings, and at 4K it maintains 117 FPS at the most demanding preset. The rank of 948 does not indicate poor performance; rather, it shows that Inside is so undemanding that even mid-range hardware can achieve triple-digit frame rates, making the differences between top-tier components less meaningful.

The CPU's own ranking reinforces this story. The Ryzen 5 5600F holds an 85th percentile position among all CPUs, yet its nearest rivals—the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, and Intel Core i9-12900T—all fall within a 0.5% performance delta. This clustering suggests that CPU compute power is not the bottleneck in Inside, as even equivalent processors produce nearly identical results.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 257 FPS average, Medium reaches 237 FPS with a minimum of 201 and maximum of 272, High achieves 197 FPS, and Ultra drops slightly to 194 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 63 FPS, indicating that settings have a measurable but not dramatic impact at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain robust. Low settings yield 230 FPS, Medium delivers 212 FPS with a 180-244 FPS range, High produces 177 FPS, and Ultra reaches 174 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs between 20 and 27 FPS across settings, with the largest absolute drop occurring at Low (from 257 to 230 FPS) and the smallest at High (from 197 to 177 FPS).

At 3840x2160, the performance scales further downward but stays impressive. Low settings produce 197 FPS, Medium delivers 182 FPS with a 154-209 FPS range, High reaches 123 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 117 FPS. The 4K to 1080p ratio shows a 60 FPS difference at Low, a 55 FPS difference at Medium, a 74 FPS difference at High, and a 77 FPS difference at Ultra, revealing that higher settings amplify the resolution impact.

The Medium preset at each resolution includes min/max data, providing insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the range spans 201-272 FPS (a 71 FPS spread); at 1440p Medium, 180-244 FPS (64 FPS spread); and at 4K Medium, 154-209 FPS (55 FPS spread). The narrowing range at higher resolutions suggests the GPU becomes more consistently utilized as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F provides the computational foundation for this combo, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture. Clock speeds range from a 3.00 GHz base to a 4.00 GHz boost, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. This 7 nm chip, manufactured by TSMC with 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die, supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

For Inside, a puzzle platformer that relies more on physics and game logic than complex AI or simulation, the 5600F's single-threaded performance proves critical. The CPU's Passmark single-thread score of 2,872 and multithread score of 19,236 indicate strong per-core performance, with the 12 threads handling the game's background tasks efficiently. The CPU's 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest it can sustain boost clocks without thermal throttling, though no temperature data is included in the measured results.

The CPU's benchmark profile shows balanced performance across workloads: integer math scores 59,339, floating point math 34,548, and extended instructions 16,266. Data compression achieves 232,836, while encryption reaches 13,839 and random string sorting hits 23,422. The physics score of 1,043 and find prime numbers score of 120 round out the test suite. Given that Inside's gameplay involves physics-based puzzles, the physics score is particularly relevant, though the game's age means even modest scores exceed requirements.

The 5600F's 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs, combined with its near-identical performance to four rival processors (all within 0.5%), suggests that the CPU contributes minimally to frame rate differences in this GPU-bound scenario. The game's reliance on GPU rendering means the 5600F's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER without creating a bottleneck, as evidenced by the high frame rates across all resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual quality. At 1080p, Medium delivers 237 FPS versus 257 at Low and 194 at Ultra—the 20 FPS gain from Low to Medium is modest, but the 43 FPS advantage over Ultra comes with only minimal visual concessions. At 1440p, Medium's 212 FPS compares favorably to Low's 230 and Ultra's 174, maintaining triple-digit frame rates with room to spare.

For 4K users, the High preset at 123 FPS represents the sweet spot. While Low achieves 197 FPS and Medium reaches 182 FPS, the jump to High costs 59-74 FPS yet still maintains a smooth experience. Ultra at 117 FPS is only 6 FPS slower than High, making the Ultra preset viable for those prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, but High offers nearly identical performance with presumably similar image quality.

The min/max data for Medium presets shows consistent frame delivery: at 1080p, the 201-272 FPS range indicates minimal stutter; at 1440p, 180-244 FPS maintains smoothness; and at 4K, 154-209 FPS still avoids noticeable hitches. These ranges suggest Medium provides reliable frame pacing across all resolutions, making it the safest recommendation for users who cannot tolerate frame drops.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate degradation from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the bottleneck in this configuration. At Low settings, performance drops from 257 FPS at 1080p to 197 FPS at 4K—a 23.3% reduction. At Medium, the drop is from 237 to 182 FPS (23.2%), while High falls from 197 to 123 FPS (37.6%), and Ultra from 194 to 117 FPS (39.7%).

The pattern is clear: lower settings scale nearly linearly with pixel count, suggesting the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor. The 1080p to 4K pixel count increases by 4x, yet frame rates only drop by roughly a quarter at Low and Medium, indicating the GPU has significant headroom that gets consumed by the resolution increase. At High and Ultra, the larger performance drop suggests the shading workload per pixel increases disproportionately, making the GPU's compute units the constraint.

This scaling behavior points to the GPU as the primary bottleneck in this configuration. The Ryzen 5 5600F's consistent performance across resolutions—evidenced by the CPU's high percentile rank and tight rivalry cluster—means it is not holding back the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The GPU's 4K Ultra performance of 117 FPS, while still excellent, represents the practical limit of this pairing in Inside, with higher resolutions or settings requiring more GPU compute power than the 4070 Ti SUPER can provide.
