Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT combination delivers a decisive performance surplus for Inside, a Puzzle Platformer from 2016-07-06. Benchmark data shows this pairing is not merely capable but overwhelmingly fast, producing triple-digit frame rates even at 4K resolution with High settings. The measured results indicate the primary challenge for users is not achieving playability, but rather deciding whether to prioritize maximum visual fidelity or exploit the hardware’s headroom for extremely high refresh rates.

FAQ

Q: What is the average frame rate at 1920x1080 with High settings?

A: The measured average is 147.3 FPS. This is substantially above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating a very smooth experience with high visual quality.

Q: Can this system handle 4K resolution?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with High settings, the average frame rate is 66.6 FPS. Even at the highest Ultra preset, the average remains at 60.5 FPS, which is playable.

Q: How much performance headroom is there at 1440p?

A: The data shows significant headroom. At 2560x1440 with High settings, the average is 103.6 FPS, and at Low settings it jumps to 207.9 FPS.

Q: What is the highest average frame rate recorded for this combo?

A: The peak average is 293.2 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with Low settings. This suggests the CPU and GPU combination has massive untapped potential at lower graphical loads.

Q: How does the Ultra preset compare to High at 1080p?

A: The Ultra preset averages 139.7 FPS, while High averages 147.3 FPS. The difference is only 7.6 FPS, making Ultra a compelling choice for maximum quality.

Q: Is the GPU or CPU more likely to be a bottleneck?

A: Given the very high frame rates across all settings, the data indicates that the Radeon RX 6650 XT is sufficient for the game's demands. The CPU's multi-threaded performance, with a score of 17272 in Cinebench R23 multicore, appears more than adequate.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data clearly indicates that the High preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At 1920x1080, High delivers 147.3 FPS, which is only 7.6 FPS less than the Ultra preset's 139.7 FPS. The small performance cost for the highest quality is negligible, as both are well above standard refresh rates. However, the difference between High and Ultra grows with resolution. At 2560x1440, High yields 103.6 FPS, while Ultra drops to 98.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, the gap widens further, with High at 66.6 FPS and Ultra at 60.5 FPS. For 4K users seeking to maintain a higher refresh rate, High is the optimal choice, as it provides a 6.1 FPS advantage over Ultra while still offering high-quality visuals. Medium is a viable fallback for 4K, producing 106.4 FPS, but the visual compromise is unnecessary given the High preset's strong performance.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT, featuring an 8 GB GDDR6 memory buffer on a 128-bit bus, provides a bandwidth of 280.3 GB/s. This memory configuration is sufficient for the texture and geometry loads of Inside. The GPU's core clocks, with a game clock of 2410 MHz and a boost clock of 2635 MHz, are high enough to drive the frame rates observed in the data. The measured FPS scaling across settings suggests that the GPU is handling the workload without significant memory capacity constraints, as even the Ultra preset, which typically uses more video memory, remains playable at 4K. The GPU's raw compute power, rated at 10.79 TFLOPS FP32, is more than ample for this title. The data indicates that the GPU is not the limiting factor, even at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS of 60.5 is likely constrained by the overall rendering pipeline rather than memory or texture throughput. The performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p (293.2 vs 139.7 FPS) demonstrates the GPU's scaling capability, but the absolute numbers show that even the most demanding preset is easily handled.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high. The Low preset leads with an average of 293.2 FPS, followed by Medium at 236 FPS, High at 147.3 FPS, and Ultra at 139.7 FPS. This indicates a linear progression where the most demanding preset still delivers over double the refresh rate of a standard 60 Hz monitor.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains impressive. The Low preset averages 207.9 FPS, Medium achieves 168.5 FPS, High drops to 103.6 FPS, and Ultra settles at 98.1 FPS. The delta between High and Ultra at this resolution is a modest 5.5 FPS, making the visual upgrade essentially free in terms of playability.

At 3840x2160, the hardware begins to show its limits, though it remains entirely playable. The Low preset averages 133.6 FPS, Medium produces 106.4 FPS, High hits 66.6 FPS, and Ultra manages 60.5 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is 6.1 FPS, and both settings are at or above the 60 FPS threshold, offering a smooth experience for 4K displays. The data shows that the scaling from 1080p to 4K reduces performance by roughly half at each preset, which is a typical expectation but still results in a playable experience at maximum settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Inside, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT ranks 1065 out of 1671 total combos. This places it in the 36th percentile of all tested systems, indicating that while it is not at the top tier of performance, it significantly outperforms the majority of configurations. The ranking is a reflection of the entire system's capability. The CPU, with a percentile ranking of 78 among all tested CPUs, is a strong performer. Its average benchmark score of 20740 places it in close competition with rivals such as the Intel Core i7-10700, which scores 20746, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X at 20680. The GPU's percentile ranking of 72 is also solid, with an average score of 29024, nearly matching the AMD Radeon RX 6800M at 29011. The combination of a high-percentile CPU and a high-percentile GPU results in a system that is well-suited for this game, but the 1065th rank out of 1671 suggests that many other pairings offer even higher absolute performance, likely with more powerful components. The measured FPS data supports this, showing that while the system handles Inside with ease, there is substantial headroom above its results that other configurations might exploit.
