# Inside CPU/GPU Combo Analysis: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a striking performance profile in Inside, a Puzzle Platformer from 2016. This combination ranks 805th out of 1,671 tested combos, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. The data reveals a system that can push well beyond 60 FPS at 4K and approach 300 FPS at 1080p, but the scaling patterns between resolutions and settings suggest a nuanced balance between CPU and GPU workloads that deserves closer inspection.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are typical for the 5000 series. The processor sits in the 78th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19,983. Its nearest rivals show a tight cluster: the Intel Core i7-11600H scores 19,949 (0.2% higher), while the Intel Core i7-11800H and AMD EPYC 7713P both score 20,024 (0.2% lower). The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX trails at 19,928 (0.3% lower). This positioning indicates the 5600G is competitive with mid-range mobile and workstation chips, but not a top-tier desktop part.

In Inside, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but it becomes more relevant at 1080p. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 291.3 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed the GPU effectively in less demanding graphical states. The single-thread score of 872 in 3DMark and 2,365 in Cinebench R23 indicate solid per-core performance, which matters for a game that likely relies on a few main threads. The 12 threads provide headroom for background tasks, but the data shows that the CPU does not bottleneck the GPU even at maximum frame rates—291.3 FPS at 1080p Low is near the practical ceiling for many displays. The multi-threaded scores (16,758 in Cinebench R23, 19,717 in PassMark) are respectable but not exceptional, reinforcing that this is a balanced mid-range processor rather than a high-end enthusiast part.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT uses the Navi 22 chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture, featuring 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The GPU's base clock is 2150 MHz, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz and a game clock of 2495 MHz. It delivers 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 166.4 GPixel/s pixel rate. The GPU ranks in the 79th percentile against all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 35,327. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 5600M at 35,264 (0.2% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile at 35,435 (0.3% higher), and the AMD Radeon 880M at 35,646 (0.9% higher). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 35,787, which is 1.3% higher.

In Inside, the GPU's 12 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for a 2016 puzzle platformer, even at 4K Ultra. The measured FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra is 78.2, which is playable but not silky smooth. The gap between High (82.6 FPS) and Ultra (78.2 FPS) is modest, suggesting that Ultra settings add a small but measurable load. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s helps maintain high frame rates at 4K, where texture streaming and memory access become more critical. The RDNA 2.0 architecture's efficiency is evident in the 162 FPS at 4K Low, which is more than double the Ultra result and shows the GPU can scale well when the visual load is reduced.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 291.3 FPS, Medium yields 271.8 FPS, High drops to 175.9 FPS, and Ultra settles at 166.6 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is only 19.5 FPS, but the jump from Medium to High is 95.9 FPS, indicating a significant rendering cost increase. The gap between High and Ultra is just 9.3 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns at the top end.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high. Low settings hit 254.8 FPS, Medium reaches 203.3 FPS, High achieves 126.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 122 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is 77.2 FPS, which is substantial and points to a major shader or texture complexity increase. High to Ultra is only 4.1 FPS, showing that Ultra adds minimal cost over High at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the combo still performs admirably. Low settings deliver 162 FPS, Medium produces 125.7 FPS, High drops to 82.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 78.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 36.3 FPS, while Medium to High is 43.1 FPS. High to Ultra is just 4.4 FPS, again showing that Ultra is only slightly more demanding than High. The 4K results remain above 60 FPS even at Ultra, which is impressive for a mid-range GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drops from 1080p to 4K reveal how the workload shifts. At Low settings, the drop is from 291.3 FPS to 162 FPS, a reduction of 44.4%. At Medium, the drop is from 271.8 FPS to 125.7 FPS, a reduction of 53.8%. At High, the drop is from 175.9 FPS to 82.6 FPS, a reduction of 53.0%. At Ultra, the drop is from 166.6 FPS to 78.2 FPS, a reduction of 53.1%. The consistent ~53% drop at Medium, High, and Ultra suggests the GPU is the primary limiting factor at these settings, as pixel count scales roughly linearly with resolution. The smaller drop at Low (44.4%) indicates that at Low settings, the CPU begins to play a larger role, especially at 1080p where the GPU is less stressed.

The data implies that at 4K Ultra, the GPU is nearly saturated, with only 78.2 FPS achieved. At 1080p Low, the CPU and GPU are both working, but the frame rate of 291.3 FPS suggests neither is fully maxed out. The scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions and settings, with the CPU becoming more relevant only at 1080p Low.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data suggests 2560x1440 with High settings as the optimal balance. This configuration delivers 126.1 FPS, which is smooth for 120 Hz displays and only marginally below the 144 Hz threshold. The drop to Ultra at this resolution (122 FPS) is only 4.1 FPS, so players with 144 Hz monitors might prefer Ultra for the extra visual fidelity at a minimal cost.

At 1920x1080, Medium settings at 271.8 FPS is the practical choice for competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays, as Low settings (291.3 FPS) offer only a 19.5 FPS advantage. High settings at 175.9 FPS still exceed most 144 Hz displays, so players prioritizing visual quality over raw frame rate can choose High without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, High settings at 82.6 FPS is the recommended preset for 60 Hz displays, as it offers a noticeable improvement over Ultra (78.2 FPS) in terms of frame rate while maintaining high visual quality. Players with 120 Hz 4K displays may need to drop to Medium (125.7 FPS) to fully utilize the refresh rate, but this comes at a visual cost. The Low preset at 162 FPS is suitable for maximum smoothness but sacrifices most graphical features.

How This Combo Ranks

This combo ranks 805th out of 1,671 tested combinations in Inside, placing it just below the median. The CPU's 78th percentile and GPU's 79th percentile suggest both components are above average, yet the combo's rank indicates that other configurations with similar or better parts perform better in this specific game. The measured FPS data shows strong absolute performance, but the rank reflects that Inside is not particularly demanding, allowing many weaker combos to achieve high frame rates as well.

The CPU's nearest rivals—the Intel Core i7-11600H, i7-11800H, AMD EPYC 7713P, and Threadripper PRO 5995WX—all have near-identical benchmark scores, but in Inside, the 5600G's integrated graphics and power efficiency may not provide the same gaming performance as dedicated high-end CPUs. The GPU's rivals, including the RTX 3080 (1.3% higher score) and RX 5600M (0.2% lower), show that the RX 6750 XT is competitive, but the rank suggests that the combo's overall placement is driven more by the game's low system requirements than by any single component's strength. The 805th rank out of 1,671 means the combo outperforms about 52% of tested configurations, which is consistent with its mid-range positioning in the benchmark database.
