Inside

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 lands at rank 460 out of 1671 tested combos for Inside. That places it in the upper-middle tier of all systems benchmarked, with roughly 72% of tested combinations ranking below it. This is a strong result for a game that is not particularly demanding by modern standards, but the ranking reflects the ceiling imposed by the CPU rather than the GPU.

In context, the RTX 4070 sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT rests at the 78th percentile among all CPUs. The combo's overall rank of 460 suggests that the pairing is balanced, though the GPU is clearly the more capable component. The data indicates that the CPU holds back the system in CPU-limited scenarios, which becomes evident when examining the measured FPS across resolutions and settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock runs at 1920 MHz with a boost up to 2475 MHz, and the memory operates at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective throughput. These specifications position the card well above the minimum requirements for Inside, a puzzle platformer that does not stress modern GPUs heavily.

In benchmark results, the RTX 4070 scores 26927 in Passmark G3D and 14720 in Passmark GPU Compute, with an average benchmark score of 37283. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, 0.6% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (38008, 1.9% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, 2.2% faster), and the AMD Radeon RX 5300M (36371, 2.5% slower). These deltas are all within a narrow band, showing that the RTX 4070 performs consistently with its direct competitors.

For Inside, the GPU's role is largely about ensuring high frame rates without bottlenecking. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 307.8 FPS, which suggests the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions. The card's 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs provide ample raw throughput for a game of this visual complexity. The 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are present but largely unused in this title, which relies on 2D rendering and simple 3D scenes.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It runs at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosts to 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache, with dual-channel DDR4 memory support providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. It also includes integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics, though these are irrelevant when paired with a discrete GPU.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5600GT scores 17272 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2438 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 7986 and single-core score of 2035. Its average benchmark score is 20740, which places it on par with the Intel Core i7-10700 (20746, 0% delta), slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (20680, 0.3% faster), and slightly behind the Intel Core i5-12490F (20794, 0.3% slower) and AMD EPYC 7J13 (20845, 0.5% slower). These near-identical scores indicate the 5600GT performs at the level of a mid-range desktop CPU.

For Inside, the CPU's role is significant because the game is relatively lightweight on the GPU side. At higher resolutions and settings, the frame rates drop, but the pattern suggests the CPU begins to limit performance at lower resolutions. The 5600GT's single-thread performance, measured at 913 in 3DMark single-thread and 3348 in Passmark single-thread, is adequate for the game's physics and logic, but the 12 threads are not fully utilized by a title of this nature.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo spans three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1080p, the results are as follows: Low settings produce an average of 307.8 FPS, Medium delivers 281.6 FPS, High reaches 229.7 FPS, and Ultra yields 219.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 88.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU has headroom even at maximum settings.

Moving to 1440p, the averages are 277.4 FPS at Low, 253.2 FPS at Medium, 165.5 FPS at High, and 156.8 FPS at Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 120.6 FPS, a larger gap than at 1080p, showing that the GPU is more heavily taxed as resolution increases.

At 4K, the results are 209.3 FPS at Low, 167.4 FPS at Medium, 102.7 FPS at High, and 97.5 FPS at Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 111.8 FPS, which is significant but still leaves the game playable at every setting. Notably, the High and Ultra settings at 4K produce similar frame rates (102.7 vs. 97.5), suggesting that the GPU is approaching its limits in this scenario.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 307.8 FPS, which is likely CPU-bound given the game's low graphical demand. As resolution increases to 1440p and then 4K, the frame rates drop to 277.4 and 209.3 FPS respectively at Low settings. This represents a 32% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low, which is modest and suggests the GPU still has capacity.

However, at Ultra settings, the scaling is more pronounced: 219.3 FPS at 1080p drops to 156.8 FPS at 1440p and 97.5 FPS at 4K, a 55.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K. This indicates that at Ultra settings, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, as the higher graphical workload taxes the RTX 4070's 12 GB of VRAM and its 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. The fact that 4K High (102.7 FPS) and 4K Ultra (97.5 FPS) are nearly identical further supports this, as the GPU is saturated.

At lower settings, the CPU's limitations emerge. The 5600GT's single-thread performance caps frame rates at around 307 FPS, which is why 1080p Low and 1440p Low (277.4 FPS) show a smaller gap than expected from resolution scaling alone. This pattern confirms that the CPU is the limiting factor at low settings, while the GPU takes over at high settings and 4K.
