Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT delivers a performance profile in Inside that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphical settings, with the data indicating a clear transition from CPU-bound behavior at lower resolutions to GPU-bound behavior at 4K. The measured frame rates reveal that this combination is exceptionally capable of high-refresh-rate gameplay at 1080p, while remaining comfortably playable at 4K with adjusted settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 demonstrates a predictable and steep drop-off, driven by the increasing pixel workload on the GPU. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 137.5 FPS at 1080p to 102.1 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of approximately 26%, and then to 62.7 FPS at 4K, a further 39% decline from the 1440p result. This trajectory indicates that the RX 5700 XT’s rendering pipeline becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases.

The trend is more pronounced when examining the Low settings data. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves an average of 276.1 FPS, which drops to 200.8 FPS at 1440p and then plummets to 126 FPS at 4K. The absolute drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 150 FPS, whereas at High settings the same resolution change results in a 74.8 FPS drop. This disparity suggests that at lower settings, the CPU has more headroom to feed frames, but the GPU still becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions, compressing the performance ceiling.

Notably, the scaling from 1440p to 4K is less severe at Medium settings, with a decline from 157.2 FPS to 100.9 FPS, compared to the High settings drop from 102.1 to 62.7 FPS. This indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute resources handle the intermediate load more gracefully, but the 4K Ultra setting, at 60.9 FPS, shows the system is right at the edge of maintaining a 60 FPS baseline. The data overall suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600GT provides sufficient single-thread performance to avoid being the primary constraint, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p, but the RX 5700 XT’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are taxed heavily as pixel count rises.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, based on the Navi 10 chip with RDNA 1.0 architecture, plays the decisive role in determining playable settings at higher resolutions. Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but appears to be a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate falls to 60.9 FPS. The GPU’s boost clock of 1905 MHz and game clock of 1755 MHz contribute to its compute throughput of 9.754 TFLOPS FP32, which is evident in the strong 1080p results.

The benchmark data shows that the GPU’s capabilities are best utilized at 1440p Medium, where the 157.2 FPS average suggests the card is operating in a balanced zone, not fully saturated but still producing high frame rates. At 1080p Low, the 276.1 FPS result indicates that the GPU is not the bottleneck; instead, the CPU’s 3.60 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock, along with its 16 MB L3 cache, are likely feeding frames as fast as the rendering pipeline can consume them. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the clear constraint, as evidenced by the 62.7 FPS High and 60.9 FPS Ultra results, which are nearly identical, suggesting that the GPU is hitting its architectural limits regardless of minor settings changes.

The RX 5700 XT’s 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs are directly relevant to Inside’s rendering style, which relies on detailed textures and lighting effects. The pixel rate of 121.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 304.8 GTexel/s are taxed at 4K, but the card still manages to exceed 60 FPS at High settings, indicating that its design is adequate for this title’s demands. The GPU’s percentile rank of 68 versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24731, places it in the upper-midrange, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A5000 Mobile, scores 24763 with a deltaPct of -0.1, showing near-identical synthetic performance.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 5 5600GT and RX 5700 XT achieves a combo rank of 1229 out of 1671 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the lower half of all combinations, which is surprising given the high absolute frame rates measured. The rank reflects that many other CPU-GPU pairings, likely with more powerful processors or newer graphics cards, achieve higher performance in this specific title.

The CPU’s synthetic benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438, are solid for a 6-core, 12-thread processor, but its percentile rank of 78 versus all CPUs indicates it is not a top-tier performer. The GPU’s rank of 68 versus all GPUs is similar. When combined, their relative positions in the overall combo hierarchy result in a rank of 1229, suggesting that while the pair is capable, it does not leverage the game’s optimization as effectively as higher-ranked combos, which likely feature newer architectures with better per-clock efficiency.

The data shows that the combo’s performance is strong enough for mainstream gaming, but the rank implies that users seeking maximum frame rates in Inside would need to consider more powerful components. The deltaPct values for the CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-10700 with a deltaPct of 0, indicate that the 5600GT is essentially on par with older high-end processors, but the GPU’s rivals, including the Intel Arc A350M with a deltaPct of 0.3, show that the RX 5700 XT is competitive with modern entry-level mobile GPUs, though not with high-end desktop cards.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at how this combo performs across a matrix of resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the results are consistently high, with Low settings achieving an average of 276.1 FPS, Medium at 223 FPS, High at 137.5 FPS, and Ultra at 134.8 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is minimal, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces negligible additional load beyond High for this GPU at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop but remain highly playable: Low at 200.8 FPS, Medium at 157.2 FPS, High at 102.1 FPS, and Ultra at 97.4 FPS. The scaling from High to Ultra at 1440p is again small, suggesting that the GPU’s memory bandwidth is not being saturated by the incremental settings changes. At 3840x2160, the results show a significant bifurcation: Low settings produce 126 FPS, Medium drops to 100.9 FPS, and High and Ultra fall to 62.7 and 60.9 FPS, respectively. The 4K Low result is noteworthy, as it remains above 120 FPS, indicating that with reduced graphical fidelity, this combo can still drive 4K at high refresh rates.

The data implies that for 4K gaming, users must choose between High settings at 62.7 FPS or drop to Medium for 100.9 FPS, a substantial difference of 38.2 FPS. At 1080p, the combo is clearly overkill for 60 Hz displays, as even Ultra settings exceed 134 FPS. For 1440p, the performance is ideal for 144 Hz displays, with Medium and High settings providing sufficient headroom. The min and max FPS values are not provided, so the analysis relies solely on averages, but the consistency of the scaling suggests stable performance across the tested configurations.
