Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Intel Arc B580 combination produces a wide range of frame rates in Inside, a puzzle platformer released on 2016-07-06. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $259, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 249 USD. Measured data shows this combo ranks 1282 out of 1671 tested combinations. The following sections break down resolution scaling, GPU role, and settings performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU as resolution increases. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 268.4 fps at 1920x1080 to 195.5 fps at 2560x1440, then to 124 fps at 3840x2160. That is a reduction of 144.4 fps from 1080p to 4K. At Medium, the progression is 213.5 → 154.9 → 94.6 fps. High settings go from 134.9 → 96.9 → 64 fps, and Ultra from 130 → 93 → 57.8 fps.

The pattern shows that even at 4K Ultra, the average remains close to 60 fps, which is notable for a game of this genre. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly similar in magnitude to the drop from 1440p to 4K for most presets, suggesting a balanced scaling curve. However, the absolute frame rates at 1080p are extremely high—268.4 fps on Low—which indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well beyond typical display refresh rates. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, as the frame rates fall to levels that are still playable but far from the 1080p figures.

The CPU’s single-thread performance, measured at 2365 in Cinebench R23, and multi-thread score of 16758, are strong enough to avoid bottlenecking at lower resolutions. The data shows that the frame rate at 1080p Low is more than double the 4K Low result, which is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher pixel counts. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is not linear—the 4K Low result of 124 fps is less than half of the 1080p Low result, but the 4K Ultra result of 57.8 fps is less than half of the 1080p Ultra result of 130 fps. This suggests that the GPU’s rendering load increases more steeply than the pixel count alone, likely due to shading and memory bandwidth demands.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 brings 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. Its base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 3068 in 3DMark Steel Nomad and 15748 in Passmark G3D, with an average benchmark score of 23021. This places it at the 66th percentile among all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the B580 is 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon 760M, 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA P106-100, 0.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, and 1.3% behind the RTX 4060 Mobile.

The GPU’s memory configuration is more than sufficient for Inside, which is not a memory-intensive title. The 12 GB capacity and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are unlikely to be limiting factors at any resolution tested. The high frame rates at 1080p—up to 268.4 fps on Low—indicate that the GPU can handle the game’s rendering with ease. At 4K Ultra, the average of 57.8 fps shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the CPU’s performance is well above what would be needed to drive such a scene.

The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3068 is a direct measure of its DirectX 12 performance, and the Passmark G3D score of 15748 reflects overall rasterization capability. These numbers align with the observed frame rates: the GPU is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and maintains playable performance at 4K, but it does not deliver the same headroom at higher resolutions as it does at lower ones.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1282 out of 1671 tested combinations, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. The CPU itself sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19983. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11600H (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-11800H (0.2% lower), the AMD EPYC 7713P (0.2% lower), and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (0.3% higher). The GPU, at the 66th percentile, has an average score of 23021, with the Radeon 760M 0.1% higher, the P106-100 0.3% higher, the RTX 4060 0.7% higher, and the RTX 4060 Mobile 1.3% higher.

The rank of 1282 suggests that while the individual components are mid-range, the combination does not push into the top tier of tested systems. The CPU’s strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single 2365) and the GPU’s solid rasterization scores are offset by the fact that many other combos in the database feature higher-end parts. The measured FPS in Inside are high, but the overall ranking reflects the broader performance landscape across all games and workloads.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and frame rate. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset delivers 94.6 fps, which is the highest average among the presets that still maintain a reasonable visual quality—High yields 64 fps and Ultra yields 57.8 fps. The Low preset reaches 124 fps but with reduced visual settings. For users prioritizing smoothness at 4K, Medium offers a comfortable margin above 60 fps, while High is also playable. Ultra dips slightly below 60 fps, which may be acceptable for a puzzle platformer but is not ideal for high-refresh displays.

At 2560x1440, the High preset gives 96.9 fps, and Ultra gives 93 fps, both well above 60. Medium reaches 154.9 fps, and Low hits 195.5 fps. For 1440p, High or Ultra are reasonable choices, as they provide high frame rates without sacrificing much visual quality. At 1920x1080, all presets exceed 130 fps, with Low at 268.4, Medium at 213.5, High at 134.9, and Ultra at 130. The choice at 1080p is purely visual, as even Ultra maintains a high refresh rate.

The data suggests that the combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with headroom for high refresh rates. At 4K, Medium is the sweet spot for a balance of frame rate and visual fidelity, while High is a viable alternative for those who prefer higher quality.
