Inside

Inside is not a demanding title by modern standards, but the data for this specific pairing—AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER—reveals a combo that is dramatically overqualified for the task, delivering triple-digit frame rates even at 4K Ultra settings. The benchmark results show a system that is almost entirely GPU-bound at lower resolutions, while the CPU’s six Zen 3 cores provide more than enough throughput to keep the RTX 4070 SUPER fed. Below is a breakdown of how this combination behaves in this 2016 puzzle platformer.

FAQ

Q: What is the overall rank of this CPU and GPU combination for Inside?

A: The combo ranks 362nd out of 1671 tested combinations, placing it in the top 22% of all systems tested for this game.

Q: Can this system handle 4K resolution in Inside?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160, the average frame rate is 115.9 FPS on High settings, 187 FPS on Medium, and 112.4 FPS on Ultra. Even at the most demanding preset, it remains well above 100 FPS.

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

A: The Ryzen 5 5600GT’s average benchmark score of 20740 is effectively tied with the Intel Core i7-10700 (20746, 0% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (20680, 0.3% delta). It trails the Intel Core i5-12490F by just 0.3%.

Q: What is the GPU’s performance percentile compared to all other graphics cards?

A: The RTX 4070 SUPER sits in the 84th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its closest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, scores 42653, a negligible 0.2% difference.

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

A: The peak average is 306.9 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This suggests the game is easily pushed to very high refresh rates.

Q: Does the integrated GPU on the CPU affect the discrete GPU’s performance?

A: No. The Ryzen 5 5600GT includes Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics, but the measured FPS data is for the discrete RTX 4070 SUPER. The iGPU is irrelevant when a dedicated card is installed.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 362 out of 1671 tested systems places this configuration firmly in the upper quartile of all hardware pairings tested for Inside. This is a strong result, but it is not a top-100 placement, which makes sense given the game’s age and low system requirements. The rank suggests that while the hardware is capable of extreme frame rates, the game itself does not push the components hard enough to separate this combo from many others with high-end GPUs.

The ranking is driven primarily by the GPU. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 84th percentile standing among all GPUs ensures that the system is never the bottleneck in this title. The CPU, despite being a capable six-core part in the 78th percentile, is largely secondary here. In a game like Inside, where the rendering load is light, the GPU’s raw throughput dominates the final FPS numbers. The delta between the CPU’s score and its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, is exactly 0%, meaning that swapping the CPU for its direct competitor would likely produce identical frame rates in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, using the Cezanne die manufactured on TSMC’s 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, this level of processing power is excessive. The game’s physics and logic are not heavily threaded, and the CPU’s single-thread performance—a Geekbench single-core score of 2035 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2438—is more than sufficient.

The data shows that the CPU is not a limiting factor at any resolution. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 306.9, which is likely near the game engine’s own frame rate limit. Even at 4K Ultra, the CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth do not create a bottleneck. The benchmark results indicate that the CPU’s PassMark multithread score of 20325 is 30% higher than its single-thread score of 3348, but in this game, the single-thread performance is what matters most. The CPU’s 3dmark single-thread score of 913 confirms that it has the per-core strength to handle the game’s update loop without dropping frames.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: Inside runs at exceptionally high frame rates across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 230.3 on Ultra to 306.9 on Low. The jump from Low to Medium is modest (306.9 to 283.4), but the drop from Medium to High is more significant (283.4 to 236). The Ultra setting, at 230.3 FPS, is only slightly slower than High, indicating that the game’s Ultra preset adds little extra load over High.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds. Low settings produce 274.5 FPS, Medium 255.9, High 181.9, and Ultra 174.4. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 7.5 FPS, suggesting that Ultra is not a major additional burden at this resolution. The 4K results are the most interesting. At 3840x2160, Low settings hit 230.9 FPS, Medium 187 FPS, High 115.9 FPS, and Ultra 112.4 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is 71.1 FPS, which is the largest single-step decrease in the entire dataset, highlighting that High and Ultra presets at 4K push the GPU harder than the lower presets.

Across all resolutions, the delta between the fastest and slowest settings is consistent. At 1080p, the spread is 76.6 FPS (306.9 to 230.3). At 1440p, the spread is 100.1 FPS (274.5 to 174.4). At 4K, the spread is 118.5 FPS (230.9 to 112.4). This shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences, as the CPU load remains constant regardless of resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock reaches 2475 MHz, and it has 7168 shading units. For Inside, this hardware is enormously overprovisioned. The game does not use ray tracing or DLSS, so the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores are idle. The GPU’s raw rasterization power—35.48 TFLOPS FP32—is what drives the high frame rates.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 42576 places it in the 84th percentile, and its PassMark G3D score of 29995 is nearly double the CPU’s entire average benchmark score. In this game, the GPU is rarely the bottleneck at lower settings, but at 4K Ultra, it begins to show its limits, dropping to 112.4 FPS. This is still an excellent result, but it demonstrates that even a high-end GPU can be taxed by higher resolutions and presets. The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is more than adequate for the game’s textures, which are small by modern standards. The 12 GB VRAM is never fully utilized, but it ensures that there are no texture streaming hitches at any resolution. The GPU’s performance relative to its closest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE, is a 0.3% deficit, but this difference is imperceptible in real-world gameplay, where the combo is already producing over 100 FPS at 4K Ultra.
