Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a robust experience in Inside, a game that is far more forgiving on hardware than the GPU's raw compute potential might suggest. The measured data reveals a configuration that scales gracefully across resolutions, with the CPU rarely acting as a constraint. This analysis walks through the performance metrics, component roles, and optimal settings based strictly on the provided benchmark figures.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K dramatically alters the performance profile of this combo. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system produces an average of 141 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same High preset, the average drops to 101 FPS, a reduction of 40 FPS. Pushing further to 3840x2160 High, the average falls to 63 FPS. This scaling pattern indicates a predictable shift from a CPU-light workload at lower resolutions to an increasingly GPU-bound scenario at higher pixel counts.

The data for Low settings reinforces this trend with even starker numbers. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 281. At 1440p Low, it drops to 202 FPS, and at 4K Low, it settles at 127 FPS. The relative drop from 1080p to 1440p is about 28%, while the drop from 1080p to 4K is about 55%. This shows that even at the lowest visual fidelity, the pixel throughput demand at 4K is substantial enough to halve the frame rate.

For Medium settings, the measured rows include min and max FPS values, providing more context on frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the average is 225 FPS, with a minimum of 191 and a maximum of 259. At 1440p Medium, the average is 162 FPS (min 137, max 186). At 4K Medium, the average is 102 FPS (min 86, max 117). The consistency of the min-to-max spread across resolutions suggests the GPU handles the workload without sudden stutter, but the average FPS decline from 225 to 102 shows the increasing cost of rendering four times the pixels.

Ultra settings follow the same curve. The average FPS at 1080p is 134, at 1440p it is 96, and at 4K it is 60. The gap between High and Ultra is consistent at roughly 5-7% across all resolutions (141 vs 134, 101 vs 96, 63 vs 60), indicating that the Ultra preset adds a modest but measurable load that scales uniformly with resolution. Overall, the data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the GPU has ample headroom, while 4K Ultra pushes the RTX 2060 SUPER to its limit, landing exactly at the 60 FPS threshold.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip manufactured on a 12 nm process. Its specifications include 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These hardware characteristics directly influence the measured FPS, particularly at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth and pixel fill rate become critical.

The GPU's pixel rate is listed at 105.6 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 224.4 GTexel/s. In Inside, a puzzle platformer with stylized visuals, these figures are more than sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The 4K results show the GPU beginning to feel the strain: at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 60, which is exactly the refresh rate of many monitors, but the lack of headroom means any demanding scene could dip below. The memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective, and the 448 GB/s bandwidth appears adequate for the game's textures, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from Medium to High at 1440p (162 to 101 FPS).

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 18093, and its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile with an average score of 18159, a delta of -0.4%. This close margin suggests the desktop RTX 2060 SUPER performs essentially on par with that mobile part. In Inside, the GPU's role is decisive at 4K; the data shows that at 1080p Low, the frame rate of 281 FPS is likely limited by the CPU or game engine, not the GPU, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU is the clear bottleneck, delivering exactly 60 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p users, the data shows that even Ultra settings deliver an average of 134 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS standard and suitable for high-refresh-rate displays. The jump from High to Ultra costs only 7 FPS (141 to 134), so enabling Ultra at 1080p is a reasonable choice for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts. High settings produce 101 FPS, while Ultra drops to 96 FPS. Both are playable, but the marginal 5 FPS gain from dropping to High is minimal. Medium settings at 1440p offer a substantial boost to 162 FPS, which could benefit a 144 Hz monitor, but the visual quality trade-off is significant. The data suggests that High or Ultra at 1440p provides the best balance, with the choice depending on whether the user prioritizes a few extra frames or slightly sharper shadows and effects.

For 4K, the situation is more constrained. Ultra settings yield exactly 60 FPS, which is the minimum for a smooth experience on a 60 Hz display. High settings improve this to 63 FPS, a small but welcome buffer. Medium settings jump to 102 FPS, providing much more headroom. Given that the game is a puzzle platformer where precise timing matters more than rapid reflexes, the measured 60 FPS at Ultra is acceptable, but the 63 FPS at High is a safer choice to avoid occasional dips. The data indicates that Medium at 4K is the sweet spot for a high frame rate, as it more than doubles the Ultra average (102 vs 60 FPS).

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Inside, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 2556 out of 3716 combos. This places it in the lower third of all tested systems, which is surprising given the high FPS numbers. The rank reflects the relative performance of the CPU and GPU individually, not just the game's frame rate. The CPU has a percentile rank of 74 among all CPUs, while the GPU has a percentile rank of 62 among all GPUs. The combination's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's mid-tier standing.

The ranking context suggests that many other tested combos feature either faster CPUs or more powerful GPUs. The Ryzen 5 5600G, while a capable 6-core processor, is not a top-tier gaming chip, and the RTX 2060 SUPER, while solid, is not in the same league as newer high-end cards. However, for Inside specifically, the game's light graphical demands mean that even this mid-range combo produces excellent frame rates. The rank of 2556 out of 3716 indicates that roughly 31% of tested combos perform better, but the actual gaming experience is still very smooth at all resolutions below 4K Ultra.

The CPU's nearest rivals show how tight the competition is. The Intel Core i3-1220P has an average score of 21066, a delta of 0.1% from the Ryzen 5 5600G's 21088. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V is at 21112 (-0.1%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U is at 21133 (-0.2%). These sub-1% margins indicate the 5600G is squarely in the middle of a performance cluster. For the GPU, the nearest rival is the RTX 3060 Mobile at -0.4%, with the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 at -0.5%. This means the combo's overall rank is more about the specific pairing than a weakness in either component.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 16 MB of L3 cache, split as 512 KB of L2 per core and 64 KB of L1 per core. Its memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications, particularly the high boost clock and modern architecture, make it well-suited for gaming workloads.

In Inside, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but it becomes more relevant at 1080p. The measured 281 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates. The 3dmark benchmarks show a single-thread score of 872 and a max-threads score of 5455, indicating strong single-core performance that is crucial for game logic. The Cinebench R23 scores of 1409 single-core and 10551 multi-core further confirm its capability.

The data shows that the CPU is not a limiting factor in this game. At 4K Ultra, the FPS is 60, which is clearly GPU-bound. At 1080p Low, the 281 FPS is likely near the engine's ceiling or the CPU's limit, but it is far above any practical refresh rate. The CPU's average benchmark score is 21088, placing it at the 74th percentile. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i3-1220P, is only 0.1% slower, showing that the 5600G is a solid mid-range performer. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, which does not heavily utilize multiple threads, the 6 cores and 12 threads provide ample headroom, and the 4.40 GHz boost clock ensures responsive gameplay.
