Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a benchmark suite for Inside that is more about headroom than compromise. The data shows that this combination is capable of obliterating standard display refresh rates at nearly every setting, making the choice of preset less about hitting a playable threshold and more about balancing image quality against an already massive performance surplus. For the best experience, the High preset is the clear recommendation, as it provides the most significant visual upgrade over Medium while still maintaining an average frame rate comfortably above 200 FPS at 1440p and above 120 FPS at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured results, the highest fidelity preset is not only viable but also the most sensible starting point. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers an average of 222.5 FPS, and at 2560x1440 it still posts an average of 193.5 FPS. Even at 3840x2160, the High preset maintains an average of 123.6 FPS. The jump from Medium to High is substantial in terms of visual quality, yet the performance cost is relatively modest. For example, at 1440p, the drop from Medium (239.3 FPS) to High (193.5 FPS) is about 19%, but the visual fidelity gains are typically worth it for a title like this.

The Ultra preset offers a marginal frame rate increase over High—at 4K, it is actually slightly slower at 117.3 FPS compared to High’s 123.6 FPS—which suggests that the Ultra settings may introduce effects that are more demanding without a proportional visual payoff. The data indicates that High strikes the optimal balance. If the goal is to maximize frame rates for a very high refresh rate display, the Low preset at 1080p yields 291.7 FPS, but this comes at a severe cost to visual detail that is unnecessary given the headroom available at higher settings. In short, start with High; it is the sweet spot for this hardware combination.

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. Its role in Inside is to provide a stable foundation that does not bottleneck the GPU. The benchmark results indicate that this CPU is more than adequate for the task. The processor’s synthetic benchmarks show a strong single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2365 and a Geekbench single-core score of 1933. This single-thread strength is crucial for a puzzle platformer where game logic and physics often rely on a few primary threads.

The multi-threaded performance is also robust, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16758 and a Passmark multithread score of 19717. However, the data from the measured FPS suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor at any resolution. The frame rates scale heavily with resolution and settings, which is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 291.7, which is a very high number that still does not seem to be capped by the CPU. The CPU’s percentile rank of 78 against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19983, places it in a solid mid-to-high tier. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-11600H and i7-11800H, show performance deltas of only 0.2% and -0.2%, respectively, indicating that the 5600G is performance-competitive with those mobile parts in general tasks, though its desktop platform likely offers more consistent sustained performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing. With 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus and a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s, it has ample resources for high-resolution textures. Its core clocks are listed with a base of 2340 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz. The GPU’s synthetic benchmarks are strong, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5569 and a Passmark G3D score of 31811, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs.

The GPU’s role is clearly to drive the high frame rates observed in the measurements. The performance gap between the Low and Ultra presets at the same resolution highlights the GPU’s capability. For instance, at 4K, the Low preset achieves 226.1 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 117.3 FPS. This shows that the GPU has enough raw power to handle even the most demanding settings at high resolutions. The 16 GB VRAM buffer is also unlikely to be a constraint in this title, ensuring that texture streaming and asset loading are not bottlenecks. The GPU’s nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, show a delta of -0.7%, indicating that the 4070 Ti SUPER is at the top of its performance tier.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 394th out of 1671 combos for this game. This places it in the top 24% of all tested configurations. While it is not in the top tier of absolute performance, this ranking is significant because it reflects the balance of the components. The data shows that the combination is highly capable, but the CPU’s mid-range status prevents it from reaching the upper echelons of the ranking, where more powerful processors like the Threadripper or newer i9 parts would sit. The ranking suggests that while the GPU is a top-tier performer, the CPU is the component that holds the combo back from competing with the absolute fastest systems. However, the sheer frame rates achieved mean that this ranking is more of a theoretical exercise; in real-world terms, the experience is extremely smooth.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear scaling pattern that points to the GPU as the primary limiting factor. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on the High preset results in a drop from 222.5 FPS to 193.5 FPS, a reduction of about 13%. Moving further to 3840x2160 on High drops the average to 123.6 FPS, a 36% reduction from the 1440p figure. This progressive decline with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU is capable of maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions, but as pixel count increases, the GPU’s workload becomes the dominant constraint.

The trend is consistent across all settings. For example, on the Low preset, the FPS goes from 291.7 at 1080p to 260.2 at 1440p, and then to 226.1 at 4K. The scaling is not perfectly linear, but the pattern is clear: the GPU's performance scales with resolution, while the CPU's role remains constant. This indicates that for users with a 1080p or 1440p monitor, this combo will easily saturate a 144Hz or even a 240Hz display. At 4K, the system is still very playable, but it requires a slight reduction in settings to maintain the highest refresh rates. The data suggests that this is a system built for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p, with 4K being a secondary but still viable option.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The detailed measurements provide a comprehensive view of the system's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 291.7 FPS on Low, 268 FPS on Medium, 222.5 FPS on High, and 220.8 FPS on Ultra. The performance difference between Low and Ultra is about 24%, which shows that even the most demanding settings are well within the system's reach at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the results are 260.2 FPS on Low, 239.3 FPS on Medium, 193.5 FPS on High, and 183.1 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows slightly, but the system still delivers a minimum of 183.1 FPS on the most demanding preset. This is a critical finding: even at 1440p Ultra, the average frame rate is high enough to take full advantage of a 165Hz or 180Hz monitor.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 226.1 FPS on Low, 195.9 FPS on Medium, 123.6 FPS on High, and 117.3 FPS on Ultra. The jump from Medium to High at 4K is significant, with a 37% drop in frame rate, highlighting the increased load of High settings at this resolution. However, the system still manages to stay above 120 FPS on High, which is a solid experience for 4K gaming. The data shows that the Low preset at 4K is exceptionally fast, but the visual quality would be suboptimal. Overall, the system’s performance is consistently high, with no single resolution or setting combination falling below a very playable threshold.
