Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 pairing was tested in Inside (Puzzle Platformer, released 2016) across four resolutions and four presets. The measured FPS data covers 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 with Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. This combination holds the 2969th position out of 3716 tested combos, placing it outside the top tier of the database’s results. The numbers below reveal how CPU and GPU loads shift with resolution and preset, and clearly identify the RTX 3070 as the dominant performance driver in this title.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a predictable but steep performance fall-off as resolution climbs. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 246. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that to 199, and to 3840x2160 it falls to 104. This is a 61.7% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low, yet the 4K result remains well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating the RTX 3070 is not stressed at the lowest preset.

When using the High preset, the pattern is more pronounced: 146 FPS at 1080p, 92 at 1440p, and 48 at 4K. The 4K number is less than half the 1080p figure, suggesting the GPU is the limiting component at this profile. At Ultra, the drop is steeper: 107, then 68, and 35 respectively. The 4K Ultra outcome of 35 FPS approaches the border of playability. The same three-step decline appears in the Medium preset, where averages are 220, 148, and 77. The Middle settings produce the largest absolute gap between 1080p and 4K, but the relative contraction is consistent.

These patterns indicate that 1920x1080 delivers a generous 146 FPS even on High, while 2560x1440 keeps most settings above 60 except for Ultra, which runs at 68. 3840x2160 requires Low or Medium to keep an acceptable frame rate; both those presets stay above 70, whereas High and Ultra fall to 48 and 35. The shape of this scaling suggests that the RTX 3070’s raw GPU throughput, not the Ryzen 5 5600G’s CPU performance, dictates the frame rate at the higher pixel counts. There is no CPU bottleneck visible in the data because even the largest resolution differences are consistent with GPU side limitations.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured results, the most efficient profile for Inside is Medium on most monitors. At 1920x1080 Medium averages 220 FPS, versus 246 on Low and 146 on High. The 74 FPS jump from High to Low is not worth the visual drop from the data’s perspective, but Medium offers the best trade-off to 1440p. At 2560x1440 Medium sits at 148, which is more than double the Ultra score of 68 and still leaves a 49 FPS buffer over the 199 Low value. For 3840x2160, the Medium average of 77 is the only preset that keeps the game above 60 while retaining visual effects; Low is 104 but may sacrifice too much detail, while High (48) and Ultra (35) test the playability.

The measured numbers suggest that for users prioritizing smooth motion, Low at 1080p (246) or 1440p (199) are the best choices. For those who want better appearance without a large penalty, Medium at 1080p (220) and 1440p (148) are the recommended steps. At 4K Low (104) and Medium (104) both provide playable performance, while High and Ultra only deliver when absolute frame rate is not important. Hence, the settings recommendation from the data is to use Medium for all resolutions, especially when the monitor refresh rate is 60 or higher, as balanced between the 2:1 ratios seen across the presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core (12-thread) CPU from the 5000 series using the Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock runs at 3.90 GHz, boosts to 4.40 GHz, and it draws thermal headroom of 65 W. The processor is built on a 7 nm process node and scores a single-thread Cinebench R23 result of 1409, a multi-core score of 10551, and a 3DMark single-thread of 872. Such numbers place the chip at the 74th percentile versus all CPUs in the benchmark database, with nearest competitors like the Intel Core i3-1220P (0.1% delta) and AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (-0.2%) looking similar.

For a puzzle platformer like Inside, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor. The game’s low, 2016-era engine does not require many cores, and the high FPS observed at 1080p Low (246) and 1440p Low (199) indicate the processor can sustain very high frame rates when the GPU is not saturated. The Ryzen 5 5600G’s single-thread strength, evidenced by the 872 3DMark single-thread result, allows the game’s logic and rendering state to stay ahead of the GPU. When comparing to nearest CPU rivals, the delta percentages are tiny (0.1% to -0.4%), meaning the 5600G performs essentially at the same level as these chips in compute-based tasks, and it is not the causal factor for the gradual declines seen in the FPS data.

Thus, the CPU role in this configuration is to faithfully deliver the high frame rates that the RTX 3070 can handle at lower resolutions and to avoid any CPU-induced stalls. The data indicates that the CPU is not the restrictive element; it only becomes mildly relevant if a user selects 1080p Medium or Low, where the CPU’s 1500 MB cache structure and its 6 cores still produce the 200+ FPS numbers shown in the measured table.

How This Combo Ranks

In the combined benchmark ranking, the Ryzen 5 5600G + RTX 3070 lands at 2969 out of 3716 total tested combos. This rank is close to 80% of the list, meaning that 747 combinations ranked lower, while 2968 performed better. The discrepancy between this rank and the component star scores (the GPU has a 61st percentile and the CPU has a 74th) suggests that game-specific performance for Inside may be limited by the GPU’s 8GB frame buffer at higher detail levels. A large portion of the top-ran combos likely feature stronger GPUs or more balanced CPU-GPU pairs. The delta against the closest GPU rivals — the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT (0.7% more) and the older NVIDIA GTX 5700 (1.0% more) – indicate that the RTX 3070 sits at the edge of its class, and that the combination does not lever the CPU’s raw compute to dominate the leaderboard. Instead, it places in the lower half of results, which realistically matches the fact that 4K Ultra runs at only 35 FPS.

FAQ

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p for this combination?

A: Based on the suggested measurements, Medium preset gives an average of 148 FPS at 2560x1440, cheaper than the 92 FPS from High and only 46 FPS slower than Low (199). It offers the cleanest visual state while remaining highly alive.

Q: Can this combo sustain 4K60 in Inside?

A: The data indicates that even within Medium (77 average FPS) and Low (104), the average exceeds 60 FPS at 3840x2160. High (48) and Ultra (35) are below that level, so only Low and Medium settings allow 4K60.

Q: How does the RTX 3070’s VRAM affect performance in this game?

A: The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit interface with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. At 4K Ultra the average 35 FPS suggests the frame size may be making this 8 GB a minor factor, but the exact contribution is not isolated here. Lower presets run at high FPS, so the GPU’s that do still the resolution scaling.

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p High?

A: The reported average is 146 FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings. That is similar to the 1440p value of 92, but 100 FPS above the 4K High.

Q: How close is the 5600G to its nearest CPU competitor?

A: In aggregate CPU benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600G is within 0.2% of the Intel Core i3-1220P (deltaPct 0.1), Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (-0.1), and AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (-0.2). This near parity means the CPU selection does not differentiate this page’s performance for Inside.

Q: Why is the 4K Ultra average so low?

A: The 4K Ultra result is 35 FPS, derived from a base1150 GPU with 5888 shading units and a boost clock of 1725 MHz. At higher resolutions the pixel load increases to a point where the 8GB frame buffer and 96 raster outputs are the limiting path. The High posting (48 FPS) and Medium (77) show a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern.

For Medium settings, the minima and maxima bracket the average values and show V-pattern of capability. The 1080p Medium min is 187 FPS, while the max is 254, a spread of 67 FPS. The 1440p Medium spans 126-170, and 4K Medium runs from 66 to 89, showing that even within the same preset, variance is larger at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is an Ampere-architecture GPU with a chip located GA104, built on an 8 nm node by Samsung. It has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The GPU’s base clock is 1500 MHz, its boost 1725 MHz, and its GDDR6 memory operates at a 256-bit interface with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth and 8 GB of VRAM. These specifications place the GPU’s Passmark G3D score at 22214 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad score at 3162, which is the 76th percentile? Actually the percentile given is 61st among all GPUs, and the 3DMark score matches that.

The measured FPS tables imply the RTX 3070 is the principal factor in resolution scaling. The mark’s memory bandwidth is 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient to feed the demanding lighting and physics of Inside even at 4K, but the frame rate still drops due to output needs. The difference across presets at the same resolution shows GPU overhead is the main bottleneck—for example, at 4K Low the GPU delivers 17.1x (104 vs 35) more FPS than at Ultra, and the memory architecture is singularly. The 220 W TDP and dual-slot 242 mm length shows a power class that is capable of these returns.

The GPU’s own performance in the compound database is compared with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT and the old GeForce GTX 469, which sit within 0.7% and 1.0% of its average score. This suggests that while the RTX 3070 is already overtaken by more recent cards, it retains enough raw shading to handle Inside well at most settings except for 4K Ultra. The 8 GB VRAM capacity does not show up as a limit in any of the tested presets where the avg FPS is above 60, implying the game’s memory footprint stays below 8 GB in these configurations.

The RTX 3070’s single-chip (GA104) makes the combination a serviceable 4K entry machine for this puzzle platformer, but players aiming for constant 100+ FPS at 4K would require different hardware, as the 48.6% drop from High (48) to Low (104) is substantial—a difference that comes squarely from the GPU’s shading power and memory lanes. Thus the GPU, not the Ryzen 5 5600G, is the deciding component in the experience.
