# Inside — AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

This combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 produces measured frame rates that place it at rank 609 out of 3,716 tested combos in Inside, putting it in the top 16% of all configurations. The pairing of a mid-range 2024 processor with a high-end 2022 graphics card yields consistently high framerates across all tested settings, with the data showing this combo is firmly in the upper echelon of systems capable of running this 2016 puzzle platformer.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo achieves rank 609 out of 3,716 tested configurations, which places it in the 84th percentile of all tested systems. This is a strong result for a game that is not particularly demanding by modern standards, but the ranking reflects the substantial headroom provided by both components. The RTX 4080 alone sits in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT ranks in the 74th percentile among all CPUs — the combination of two above-average parts yields a system that outperforms roughly five out of six tested combos in this specific title.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 20,733 places it remarkably close to its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20,802 (0.3% higher), the Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20,821 (0.4% higher), the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U scores 20,826 (0.4% higher), and the AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20,845 (0.5% higher). These deltas are all within half a percentage point, meaning the 5600GT is essentially tied with these four competitors in synthetic multi-threaded workloads. For Inside, where the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at most settings, this near-parity with rival processors translates into negligible gameplay differences.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080's average benchmark score of 54,247 is similarly close to its nearest rivals. The RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 (0.1% higher), while the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828 (1.1% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698 (2.6% higher), and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757 (2.7% higher). The RTX 4080 trails these three AMD parts by small margins in synthetic averages, yet in Inside the measured FPS results show no practical disadvantage — the game runs far above any display refresh rate threshold in nearly every configuration tested.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock runs at 1400 MHz with 22.4 Gbps effective transfer rate, while the core operates between a 2205 MHz base and 2505 MHz boost clock. The GPU's 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output pipelines process pixels at a rate of 280.6 GPixel/s, with texture fill reaching 761.5 GTexel/s. Compute throughput is rated at 48.74 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 operations.

For Inside, this GPU is substantially overprovisioned. The game's art style and physics-based puzzles do not stress modern high-end hardware, yet the data shows the RTX 4080 still delivers meaningful scaling across settings and resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 306 FPS average; at 4K Ultra, it still produces 126 FPS average. The gap between these extremes — roughly 2.4x — demonstrates that the GPU has enough headroom to handle the game's maximum settings at 4K while still exceeding 120 FPS. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is never a limiting factor in this title, as even the most demanding preset does not approach memory capacity limits. The RTX 4080's 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores are present but largely idle in this 2D-side-scrolling puzzle game, which does not utilize ray tracing or DLSS features.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest framerates. Low settings produce an average of 306 FPS. Medium settings average 283 FPS with a minimum of 240 and maximum of 325. High settings average 236 FPS, while Ultra averages 232 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 74 FPS drop (306 to 232), which is a 24.2% reduction. The Medium preset's 283 FPS average with a 240 FPS minimum indicates that even in demanding scenes, the system stays well above 200 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain exceptionally strong. Low settings average 275 FPS. Medium averages 253 FPS (minimum 215, maximum 291). High averages 211 FPS, and Ultra averages 201 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra here is 74 FPS (275 to 201), a 26.9% reduction. The Medium minimum of 215 FPS still exceeds 200 FPS, showing consistent performance even during complex puzzle sequences.

At 3840x2160, the framerates remain high but show a wider spread. Low settings average 235 FPS. Medium averages 212 FPS (minimum 181, maximum 244). High averages 133 FPS, and Ultra averages 126 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 109 FPS (235 to 126), a 46.4% reduction — notably steeper than at lower resolutions. The Medium minimum of 181 FPS remains smooth, but the High and Ultra averages suggest the GPU workload is increasing substantially at 4K.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: Medium settings offer the most complete dataset with minimum and maximum values provided, and in every resolution, Medium stays within 8-10% of Low's average while providing better visual quality. High and Ultra are nearly identical at 1080p (236 vs 232 FPS) but diverge more at 4K (133 vs 126 FPS), suggesting diminishing returns from High to Ultra at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, Medium settings provide the best balance across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium averages 283 FPS with a 240 FPS minimum — this is only 23 FPS below Low but delivers noticeably better visual fidelity. At 1440p, Medium averages 253 FPS with a 215 FPS minimum, again staying above 200 FPS even in the worst-case measured frame. At 4K, Medium averages 212 FPS with a 181 FPS minimum, which remains comfortably above 144 Hz refresh rates.

For users with high-refresh displays, Low settings at 1080p or 1440p unlock the highest frame rates (306 and 275 FPS respectively), but the practical benefit over Medium is marginal — the difference is 23 FPS at 1080p and 22 FPS at 1440p. Given that Medium also provides the only complete min/max data in the pack, it appears to be the most stable preset in terms of frame pacing consistency.

Ultra settings are viable at every resolution, with 232 FPS at 1080p, 201 FPS at 1440p, and 126 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that dips below 130 FPS, but 126 FPS still exceeds standard 60 Hz and 120 Hz displays. For 4K users, choosing High over Ultra yields 133 FPS versus 126 FPS — a 5.6% improvement that might be preferable for those seeking maximum headroom without a visible quality penalty in this stylized game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, containing 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz boosts to 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel bus width providing 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The CPU also integrates Radeon Vega 7 graphics, though this is irrelevant when paired with the RTX 4080.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5600GT shows strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 17,272, while single-core scores 2,438. The 3DMark results range from 913 (single-thread) to 5,554 (max threads), with 16-thread at 5,523 and 8-thread at 4,968. PassMark multi-thread score is 20,325 with single-thread at 3,348. Geekbench multi-core reaches 7,986 with single-core at 1,843.

For Inside, the CPU's role appears secondary. The game's measured FPS scales predictably with resolution — higher resolutions show larger FPS drops — which indicates GPU-bound performance rather than CPU limitation. The 5600GT's 12 threads are more than sufficient for this puzzle platformer, and its 16 MB L3 cache handles the game's data requirements without issue. The CPU's 74th percentile ranking among all processors means it outperforms three-quarters of tested CPUs, providing ample headroom for any potential CPU-bound scenarios in this title.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between components. At Low settings, the average drops from 306 FPS at 1080p to 275 FPS at 1440p (a 10.1% decrease) and then to 235 FPS at 4K (a 14.5% decrease from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 71 FPS, or 23.2%. At Medium settings, the progression goes from 283 FPS to 253 FPS to 212 FPS — drops of 10.6% and 16.2% respectively, totaling 25.1%. At High settings, 236 FPS at 1080p falls to 211 FPS at 1440p (10.6% drop) and then to 133 FPS at 4K (37.0% drop from 1440p), totaling 43.6%. At Ultra settings, 232 FPS at 1080p drops to 201 FPS at 1440p (13.4%) and then to 126 FPS at 4K (37.3% from 1440p), totaling 45.7%.

This pattern indicates that at Low and Medium settings, the GPU has enough headroom that resolution scaling produces modest FPS reductions — the 4K results still exceed 200 FPS. However, at High and Ultra settings, the transition from 1440p to 4K causes a much steeper drop (37-37.3% versus 10-13% from 1080p to 1440p). This suggests that at 4K with higher quality presets, the RTX 4080 begins to approach its performance limits for this game, though 126-133 FPS remains highly playable. The limiting component shifts from being barely stressed at 1080p Low to moderately loaded at 4K Ultra, but in all cases, the CPU does not appear to constrain performance — the consistent FPS deltas between settings at each resolution point to GPU rendering cost as the primary variable.
