GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. For Inside, a puzzle platformer, this memory configuration is more than sufficient, as evidenced by the frame rates that exceed 200 FPS at 1080p for most settings. The GPU’s boost clock of 2589 MHz and game clock of 2359 MHz provide the raw throughput needed to push these high numbers, with the base clock sitting at 1968 MHz for sustained loads.

The data suggests the GPU is rarely the limiting factor in this title. At 4K Ultra, the average frame rate of 76 FPS indicates the graphics card is working harder, but even this result is well above playable thresholds. The GPU’s pixel rate of 165.7 GPixel/s and texture rate of 331.4 GTexel/s are more than adequate for Inside’s relatively simple visual scenes. The RX 6600 XT also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which allows the game to utilize modern rendering features if present, though the benchmark results show that even without such optimizations, performance remains high.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings at 4K is 40 FPS (116 vs 76), which demonstrates that the GPU does respond to increased graphical loads. However, the fact that 4K Low still produces 116 FPS indicates that the card has substantial headroom for this game. The 8 GB memory capacity is never stressed, as Inside does not require large texture pools or complex geometry. The GPU’s 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs are efficiently utilized, with the benchmark data showing consistent frame delivery across all tested configurations.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This configuration provides strong single-threaded performance, as indicated by its 3DMark single-thread score of 872 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1409. For Inside, which is not heavily multithreaded, these single-thread capabilities are what drive the high frame rates observed.

The CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth ensure that data feeding is not a bottleneck. The processor’s average benchmark score of 21088 places it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i3-1220P (21066) and Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (21112), both showing deltas of less than 0.2%. This indicates that the 5600G’s compute power is well-balanced for gaming workloads.

In Inside, the CPU’s role is to maintain consistent frame pacing, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU can render frames faster. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 307 FPS, which confirms the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU quickly. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5451 and max-thread score of 5455 suggest that even when all 12 threads are utilized, the CPU maintains solid performance. While the 5600G’s integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are present, they are not used in these measurements, as the discrete RX 6600 XT handles all rendering tasks.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 307 FPS, while Medium yields 279 FPS with a minimum of 238 FPS and maximum of 321 FPS. High settings drop slightly to 247 FPS, and Ultra remains highly playable at 200 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p is well within the combo’s comfort zone, with even the most demanding preset maintaining triple-digit frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, frame rates remain high but show a predictable decrease. Low settings average 205 FPS, Medium averages 187 FPS with a range of 159-214 FPS, High averages 165 FPS, and Ultra averages 134 FPS. The 71 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution shows that the GPU begins to feel the load, but the CPU continues to provide enough throughput to keep performance smooth.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes more significant. Low settings average 116 FPS, Medium averages 105 FPS with a minimum of 90 FPS, High averages 93 FPS, and Ultra averages 76 FPS. The 40 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is the largest relative difference across all resolutions, indicating that the GPU is now the primary driver of performance. Even at 4K Ultra, the minimum frame rate is not provided, but the average of 76 FPS suggests that the experience remains fluid for this type of game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1618 out of 3716 tested combinations in Inside, placing it in the upper-middle range of all tested systems. This ranking is curious given the high absolute frame rates. The CPU’s percentile ranking of 74 and the GPU’s percentile ranking of 70 would suggest a higher overall position, but the game’s relatively simple rendering requirements mean that many lower-tier components can also achieve high frame rates, compressing the performance spread.

The nearest CPU rivals, such as the Intel Core i3-1220P with a delta of 0.1%, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V with a delta of -0.1%, demonstrate that the 5600G is positioned in a tightly contested performance band. Similarly, the GPU’s nearest rivals, including the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 (0.7% delta) and Intel Arc A350M (-0.8% delta), show that the RX 6600 XT is just slightly above average in its class. The combination of these mid-range components results in a system that is more than capable for Inside, but its ranking reflects the fact that the game does not heavily tax either component.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal setting for 1080p is High, which delivers 247 FPS average. While Low produces 307 FPS and Ultra produces 200 FPS, High provides a balance between visual quality and performance that is likely to be the most satisfying. The 47 FPS difference between High and Ultra at 1080p suggests that Ultra’s additional graphical features are not worth the performance cost, especially since High already exceeds typical display refresh rates.

At 1440p, Medium settings offer the best experience, with an average of 187 FPS and a minimum of 159 FPS. This preset provides smoother frame delivery than High (165 FPS) while maintaining better visual fidelity than Low (205 FPS). The minimum frame rate of 159 FPS ensures that there are no noticeable stutters, making Medium the recommended choice for this resolution.

For 4K, High settings are recommended, with an average of 93 FPS. While Medium (105 FPS) and Low (116 FPS) offer higher frame rates, High provides a more visually polished experience without dropping below the 90 FPS threshold that the Medium setting’s minimum reaches. Ultra at 76 FPS is playable but may be less smooth on high-refresh-rate displays, so High is the best compromise.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the limiting component. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 307 FPS at 1080p to 205 FPS at 1440p, a 33% decrease, and then to 116 FPS at 4K, a further 43% decrease. This pattern indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as resolution increases, while the CPU’s influence wanes.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is more pronounced: 200 FPS at 1080p, 134 FPS at 1440p, and 76 FPS at 4K. The 62% drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings demonstrates that the RX 6600 XT is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions and graphical presets. In contrast, the CPU’s role is more evident at 1080p, where the frame rates exceed 300 FPS, suggesting that the processor is capable of handling the game’s logic and physics without limitation.

The data implies that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the CPU and GPU work in harmony to deliver extremely high frame rates. At 4K, the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are still sufficient, but the card’s compute power limits the achievable frame rates, particularly at Ultra settings. The 40 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K, compared to the 107 FPS difference at 1080p, highlights how the GPU’s capabilities cap performance as resolution scales up.
