Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. Across all tested resolutions and settings, the combination never drops below 100 FPS average, with the lowest result being 107.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. This places the combo in the 449th position out of 1671 tested configurations, indicating strong but not top-tier performance relative to the entire database.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions with a CPU ceiling emerging at lower ones. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 224 FPS at 1920x1080 to 176.1 FPS at 2560x1440, representing a 21.4% reduction. Moving further to 3840x2160, the average falls to 113.6 FPS, a 35.5% decrease from the 1440p result. This progressive decline is typical of a title where pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases.

The Low settings data shows an even more pronounced scaling curve. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 290.3 FPS, which drops to 262.2 FPS at 1440p (a 9.7% reduction) and then to 221.5 FPS at 4K (a 15.5% reduction from 1440p). The smaller percentage drops at lower settings indicate that the system is approaching a performance ceiling at 1080p, likely constrained by the CPU or game engine logic rather than the GPU. The RTX 5070’s 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is more than sufficient for this title’s visual demands, so the relatively modest FPS differences between Low and Medium at 1440p (262.2 vs 242.5) suggest diminishing returns from additional graphics work.

Ultra settings present the steepest resolution scaling. The 222.8 FPS at 1080p falls to 173.1 FPS at 1440p (22.3% drop) and further to 107.7 FPS at 4K (37.8% drop from 1440p). This pattern indicates that the Ultra preset introduces effects that scale super-linearly with pixel count, likely including higher-quality shadows and post-processing that demand more from the GPU’s 80 ROPs and 192 TMUs. The 4K Ultra result of 107.7 FPS is still well above playable thresholds, but it represents the largest performance penalty observed in the dataset.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600G contributes a solid foundation with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 3 architecture. Its boost clock of 4.40 GHz and base clock of 3.90 GHz provide sufficient single-thread performance for a game like Inside, which relies heavily on physics and logic updates. The 3DMark single-thread score of 872 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2365 indicate healthy per-core capability, though the CPU’s overall percentile rank of 78 places it in the upper-middle tier of all processors.

The CPU’s influence on frame rates becomes evident when comparing Low settings across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 290.3 FPS result is likely near the engine’s update rate limit, as the GPU can render frames faster than the CPU can feed it. The modest 9.7% drop from 1080p to 1440p Low suggests that the bottleneck shifts slightly toward the GPU even at minimal settings. In contrast, the 21.4% drop at High settings from 1080p to 1440p shows the GPU taking on more work, confirming that the RTX 5070 becomes the primary limiter once graphical complexity increases.

The 5600G’s 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for this game’s data requirements. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5451 and max-thread score of 5455 show near-linear scaling from 8 to 16 threads, indicating the CPU can utilize its full thread count effectively. However, the nearest rival data places the 5600G nearly even with the Intel Core i7-11600H (0.2% faster) and the AMD EPYC 7713P (0.2% slower), suggesting that CPU headroom is not a differentiator in this title’s performance envelope.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average frame rate achievable with this combo?

A: The highest recorded average is 290.3 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This represents the practical ceiling for this configuration in Inside.

Q: How much performance is lost when enabling Ultra settings over Low at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the average frame rate drops from 221.5 FPS on Low to 107.7 FPS on Ultra, a reduction of 113.8 FPS or approximately 51.4% of the Low setting performance.

Q: Is this combo better suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming in this title?

A: The data shows both are viable, but 1440p High delivers 176.1 FPS while 1080p High delivers 224 FPS. The 47.9 FPS difference suggests 1080p is optimal for maximum refresh rates, while 1440p still provides excellent smoothness.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600G scores 19983 in average benchmark score, placing it 0.2% above the Intel Core i7-11600H (19949) and 0.2% below the Intel Core i7-11800H (20024). Its performance is essentially tied with the AMD EPYC 7713P.

Q: What is the GPU’s standing relative to all tested graphics cards?

A: The RTX 5070 ranks in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41687. It sits 0.6% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 and 0.2% above the AMD Radeon Pro 5300.

Q: Does the combo rank high among all tested configurations for this game?

A: It ranks 449th out of 1671 total combos, placing it in roughly the top 26.8% of all tested systems for Inside. This is a respectable position given the game’s age and the prevalence of high-end hardware in the database.

How This Combo Ranks

The 449th rank out of 1671 tested combinations places this system in the upper quartile of all configurations evaluated for Inside. This position reflects a balance between the CPU’s mid-tier standing and the GPU’s high-tier performance. The 5600G’s 78th percentile among CPUs is the weaker link, while the RTX 5070’s 83rd percentile among GPUs pulls the overall ranking upward. In a game where frame rates exceed 100 FPS even at 4K Ultra, the ranking demonstrates that this combination offers more than sufficient power for the title’s demands.

Compared to the nearest rival combos, the 5600G’s performance is nearly identical to the Intel Core i7-11800H, with only a 0.2% difference in average benchmark scores. This means systems using either CPU would produce nearly indistinguishable results in Inside, provided the GPU remains the same. The GPU’s closest rivals include the RTX 3090, which trails by 0.6%, and the Tesla M40, which leads by 0.5%. These narrow margins suggest that the RTX 5070’s position is well-established, and any ranking differences in the combo list stem primarily from CPU variations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers consistently high performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 290.3 FPS, Medium reaches 270.9 FPS, High achieves 224 FPS, and Ultra comes in at 222.8 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal at 1.2 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset’s additional effects have little impact on the GPU at this resolution. The spread from Low to Ultra is 67.5 FPS, indicating that even the heaviest settings leave substantial headroom above 200 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages remain strong but show more differentiation between settings. Low settings deliver 262.2 FPS, Medium drops to 242.5 FPS, High falls to 176.1 FPS, and Ultra settles at 173.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 89.1 FPS, with the most significant drop occurring between Medium and High (66.4 FPS). This suggests that the High preset introduces a substantial increase in shading complexity that the RTX 5070’s 30.87 TFLOPS must process.

At 3840x2160, the performance hierarchy shifts further. Low settings maintain 221.5 FPS, Medium produces 176.7 FPS, High drops to 113.6 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 107.7 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra spread expands to 113.8 FPS, with the Medium-to-High transition accounting for 63.1 FPS of that difference. The 4K Ultra result of 107.7 FPS remains above 100 FPS, confirming that this combination handles the game’s maximum visual fidelity without dipping below smooth-playable thresholds. The 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth provide ample resources for 4K textures, and the 192-bit bus width does not appear to create a bottleneck in this title.
