Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance scaling. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the combo is extremely fast. The Low preset achieves 305.8 FPS, while Medium drops slightly to 282.5 FPS. High settings yield 237.7 FPS, and Ultra is close behind at 230.5 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is a mere 7.2 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns on the highest preset at this resolution. The GPU is clearly not the limiting factor here, as even the most demanding settings remain well above 200 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the FPS remains high but shows the expected decline. Low settings produce 272.4 FPS, which is still an excellent result. Medium settings follow at 252.2 FPS, and High dips to 195.5 FPS. Ultra is the slowest at 183.7 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is 11.8 FPS, slightly larger than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is starting to work harder. At this resolution, the combo still delivers a strong high-refresh-rate experience, particularly on Medium and Low.

At 3840x2160, the 4K resolution, the GPU’s limits become apparent. Low settings still manage an impressive 238.1 FPS, which is playable on high-refresh-rate 4K displays. Medium settings drop to 192.7 FPS, while High and Ultra fall to 120.7 FPS and 118.4 FPS, respectively. The delta between High and Ultra is only 2.3 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset offers minimal visual benefit for a slight performance cost. The data shows a clear trend: the RTX 4070 Ti is capable of 4K gaming, but for maximum fluidity, users should stick to Low or Medium settings at this resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of the high frame rates in this combo. Its architecture, Ada Lovelace, and 5 nm process node allow for significant efficiency. The GPU has 7680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. It also features 60 RT cores and 240 Tensor cores, though these are not heavily utilized in a 2D platformer like Inside. The core clocks are set to a base of 2310 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz, which are high enough to ensure consistent performance across the board.

The memory subsystem is also crucial. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, the GPU achieves a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This high bandwidth is beneficial for loading texture data quickly, even though Inside has modest VRAM requirements. The GPU’s pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s are more than adequate for the game’s side-scrolling visuals. The FP32 performance of 40.09 TFLOPS indicates massive compute capability, but the game’s rendering workload is primarily fill-rate limited, which the 80 ROPs handle efficiently.

The GPU’s position in the database is strong, with an 85th percentile ranking. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, has a slightly higher average score of 45152, but the delta is only -0.6%, meaning the desktop 4070 Ti is nearly as fast. This confirms the desktop card’s performance, as it competes with newer mobile parts. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU scales well with resolution, dropping from 305.8 FPS at 1080p Low to 118.4 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is a predictable and expected curve.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data suggests that the best experience depends on the user’s display and refresh rate. For 1080p users with a 240 Hz monitor, the High preset at 237.7 FPS is nearly perfect, but to fully saturate a 240 Hz panel, the Medium preset at 282.5 FPS offers a safety margin. The Ultra preset at 230.5 FPS is also viable, but the visual difference from High is minimal, making High the more practical choice for a smoother experience. For 1440p users, the Medium preset at 252.2 FPS is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate displays. High is still excellent at 195.5 FPS, which is great for 165 Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 183.7 FPS is acceptable, but Medium provides a significant FPS boost without a major visual compromise.

For 4K users, the situation is more nuanced. A 4K 120 Hz display will be perfectly served by the High preset at 120.7 FPS, which is right at the refresh rate cap. The Ultra preset at 118.4 FPS is nearly identical, but High is slightly faster. For those with a 4K 144 Hz or higher monitor, the Low preset at 238.1 FPS is the only way to get close to that refresh rate, but the visual downgrade is noticeable. The Medium preset at 192.7 FPS is a good middle ground for 4K 144 Hz panels, offering a high frame rate while retaining some graphical details. Overall, the Low and Medium presets at 4K are the recommended settings to unlock the full potential of the RTX 4070 Ti’s performance.
