Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER produces exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a 2016 Puzzle Platformer. The benchmark data shows that this combination is heavily GPU-limited at lower resolutions and becomes more balanced as the resolution increases, with the system never dropping below 126 FPS average across all tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic pattern of a powerful GPU paired with a mid-range CPU. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 306 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops this to 275 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it falls to 235 FPS. This represents a 23% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the CPU is the limiting factor at lower resolutions where the GPU has headroom.

The scaling becomes more pronounced at higher settings. At High settings, the system delivers 236 FPS at 1080p, 210 FPS at 1440p, and 132 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result is 44% lower than the 1080p High result, showing that the GPU is now the primary constraint. At Ultra settings, the pattern holds: 232 FPS at 1080p, 200 FPS at 1440p, and 126 FPS at 4K, a 46% drop from 1080p to 4K.

The Medium preset shows the most complete data with min and max FPS recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 283 FPS with a minimum of 240 and maximum of 325. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 253 FPS (min 215, max 291). At 4K Medium, the average is 211 FPS (min 180, max 243). The narrowing gap between Low and Medium presets at 4K — 235 FPS vs 211 FPS — suggests that the GPU is still capable of handling the additional load without severe penalties.

What this data indicates is that the RTX 4080 SUPER is underutilized at 1080p and 1440p, where the Ryzen 5 5600GT's six cores and 12 threads become the bottleneck. At 4K, the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth come into play, and the frame rates remain highly playable across all settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear picture for optimal settings. At 1080p, the difference between Low (306 FPS) and Ultra (232 FPS) is 74 FPS, but both are far beyond any display's refresh rate capabilities. The Medium preset at 283 FPS with a minimum of 240 FPS offers a balanced experience, but given that Ultra only costs 24% performance versus Low, the Ultra preset is the sensible choice for maximum visual quality.

At 1440p, the situation is similar. Low delivers 275 FPS, Medium 253 FPS, High 210 FPS, and Ultra 200 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is just 10 FPS, making Ultra the recommended setting for this resolution. Even the minimum FPS at Medium (215) exceeds typical 144Hz refresh rates, so players can freely choose based on visual preference.

At 4K, the choices become more meaningful. Low produces 235 FPS, Medium 211 FPS, High 132 FPS, and Ultra 126 FPS. The jump from Medium to High costs 79 FPS (37%), while High to Ultra costs only 6 FPS. For players with 120Hz or 144Hz displays, the Medium preset at 211 FPS with a minimum of 180 FPS provides excellent smoothness. For those targeting 60 FPS, all presets work, but High and Ultra both stay above 120 FPS, so the visual upgrade is essentially free.

Considering the game's Puzzle Platformer genre, where frame timing consistency matters for precise controls, the Medium preset at 4K with its recorded minimum of 180 FPS offers the best combination of visual fidelity and frame rate stability. At 1080p and 1440p, Ultra settings are recommended since the performance cost is minimal relative to the total frame rate.

The data indicates that this combo is well above average but not at the absolute top tier.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT features six cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) on a 7 nm process from TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The 3DMark single-thread score is 913, and the multi-thread (max threads) score is 5554. Cinebench R23 results show 2438 for single-core and 17272 for multi-core.

In Inside, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p. The difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is only 74 FPS (306 vs 232), whereas at 4K the same settings gap is 109 FPS (235 vs 126). This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU's ability to feed the GPU becomes the limiting factor, capping performance around the 306 FPS mark for Low settings.

The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are adequate for this game's requirements. The PassMark single-thread score of 3348 and multi-thread score of 20325 indicate solid general performance. The Geekbench scores of 1843 (single-core) and 7986 (multi-core) confirm that the CPU handles both lightweight and heavily threaded workloads effectively.

For a Puzzle Platformer like Inside, which typically does not stress multi-core CPUs heavily, the single-thread performance is more relevant. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2438 places it competitively, and the game's frame rates at 1080p (above 230 FPS even at Ultra) demonstrate that the CPU is not a severe bottleneck, though it does limit maximum frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are: Low 306, Medium 283 (min 240, max 325), High 236, and Ultra 232. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 24% reduction in frame rate, from 306 to 232 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low 275, Medium 253 (min 215, max 291), High 210, and Ultra 200. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 27%, slightly steeper than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low 235, Medium 211 (min 180, max 243), High 132, and Ultra 126. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 46%, showing that the GPU is now the dominant factor.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min and max data across all resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 240 to 325 FPS (a spread of 85 FPS). At 1440p, the range is 215 to 291 FPS (a spread of 76 FPS). At 4K, the range is 180 to 243 FPS (a spread of 63 FPS). The narrowing spread at higher resolutions indicates more consistent frame pacing as the GPU becomes more loaded.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture (AD103 chip) using a 5 nm process from TSMC. It has 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. The boost clock is 2550 MHz with a base clock of 2295 MHz. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 736.3 GB/s bandwidth.

In Inside, the GPU's capabilities are most apparent at 4K. The difference between High (132 FPS) and Medium (211 FPS) at 4K is substantial at 79 FPS, showing that the GPU is heavily taxed by the higher settings. The GPU's FP32 performance of 52.22 TFLOPS and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s provide ample headroom for this older title.

The 16 GB VRAM is far more than Inside requires, even at 4K, so memory capacity is not a limiting factor. The memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s ensures that texture streaming and resolution scaling do not create bottlenecks. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 34245 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 indicate strong overall performance.

The RTX 4080 SUPER's percentile ranking of 86 among all GPUs confirms its high-end position. Its nearest rival, the standard RTX 4080, is nearly identical in performance (0.1% difference). The GPU's role in this combo is to provide massive frame rates at all resolutions, with the data showing that even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 126 remains well above standard refresh rates.
