Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination produces a top-tier performance result in Inside, achieving a combo rank of 520 out of 3716 tested configurations. This places the pairing in the top 14% of all tested combos for this game, indicating that the system delivers an exceptionally smooth experience. The data shows a system capable of handling the game's demands with substantial headroom, as the lowest recorded average frame rate across all tested settings and resolutions is 143 FPS. This rank reflects a balanced pairing where the high-end GPU is effectively utilized, though the CPU does establish a performance ceiling that becomes more apparent at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 520 out of 3716 places this system in the 86th percentile of all tested configurations for Inside. This is a strong showing, meaning the combination outperforms the vast majority of other CPU-GPU pairings tested in this game. The high rank is driven primarily by the GPU's immense compute power, which is more than sufficient for the game's puzzle-platformer rendering demands. However, the rank also indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at higher resolutions, allowing the GPU to stretch its legs. The positioning near the top of the field suggests that users can expect a consistently fluid experience, even at the most demanding settings, with the data confirming that the system rarely dips below 143 FPS in any measured scenario. This high percentile reflects the raw power of the RTX 5090, which dominates the frame rate charts, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT provides adequate support to keep up.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz and it can boost up to 4.60 GHz. This configuration is more than capable for Inside, which is not a heavily threaded title. Benchmark results for the CPU show a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438. In the context of this game, the single-core performance is more relevant, as puzzle-platformers often rely on a single primary game thread. The 5600GT's single-core score places it in a competitive position, and its performance is sufficient to feed the RTX 5090 with frames at 1080p, where the CPU load is highest. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-12490F, have an average score of 20802, which is only 0.3% higher than the 5600GT's average benchmark score of 20733, indicating they are effectively neck-and-neck in overall processing power. This means the CPU is not a weak link in this pairing; it provides a solid foundation for the GPU to operate at its full potential, though the data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU becomes the limiting factor, as evidenced by the diminishing returns in frame rates when compared to higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a flagship graphics card featuring the GB202 chip and Blackwell 2.0 architecture. It is equipped with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing a massive 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz. This immense hardware specification makes it an absolute powerhouse in Inside. The GPU's benchmark scores are staggering, with a Passmark G3D score of 39650 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 376728. This level of performance is overkill for a game like Inside, which is not graphically intensive by modern standards. The GPU's nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, have an average score of 79605, which is 0.3% lower than the RTX 5090's average benchmark score of 79842, highlighting the card's top-tier status. The data shows that the GPU is the dominant component in this pairing, capable of delivering frame rates well above 200 FPS even at 4K resolution. Its role is to eliminate any possible graphical bottleneck, and it does so decisively, ensuring that the game's frame rate is almost entirely dependent on the CPU's ability to issue draw calls.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 306 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset. On Medium settings, the average drops to 283 FPS, with a minimum of 240 and a maximum of 325. High settings yield an average of 236 FPS, while Ultra settings produce an average of 232 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales as expected. Low settings deliver an average of 275 FPS, Medium settings 253 FPS, High settings 211 FPS, and Ultra settings 208 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system still maintains exceptionally high frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 235 FPS, Medium settings 217 FPS, High settings 150 FPS, and Ultra settings 143 FPS. The data reveals a clear pattern: the frame rate drops as resolution and settings increase, but the system never falls below 143 FPS in any tested configuration. The most significant drop occurs between High and Ultra settings at 4K, where the average frame rate falls from 150 to 143 FPS, a relatively small difference indicating that the GPU is not severely stressed even at the highest settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Ultra preset at 1920x1080 provides the best experience. It delivers an average of 232 FPS, which is only slightly lower than the High preset's 236 FPS. The visual fidelity improvement from High to Ultra is worthwhile given the minimal performance cost. At 2560x1440, the High preset is the sweet spot, offering an average of 211 FPS, which is a significant visual upgrade over Medium's 253 FPS while still maintaining a very high frame rate. At 3840x2160, the High preset is again the recommended choice, delivering an average of 150 FPS. While the Ultra preset is playable at 143 FPS, the High preset provides a more comfortable margin above the 144 FPS threshold for high-refresh-rate displays. The Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for users who prefer a higher frame rate, with an average of 253 FPS at 1440p and 217 FPS at 4K. For users with the highest refresh rate monitors, the Low preset at 1080p, with its 306 FPS average, is the only way to fully utilize a 300Hz display.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K provides insight into the system's bottleneck. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 236 FPS at 1920x1080 to 211 FPS at 2560x1440, a decrease of 10.6%. From 1440p to 4K, the frame rate drops more sharply from 211 FPS to 150 FPS, a decrease of 28.9%. This pattern is consistent across all settings presets. For example, on Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is from 306 to 275 FPS (10.1% decrease), but from 1440p to 4K, it falls from 275 to 235 FPS (14.5% decrease). This indicates that the GPU is not the primary constraint at 1080p and 1440p, as the frame rate is relatively high and the scaling is modest. However, at 4K, the GPU's workload increases significantly, and the frame rate drops more substantially, showing that the RTX 5090 is becoming the limiting factor at this resolution. The data suggests that the CPU is the limiting component at 1080p, as the frame rate does not scale linearly with the decrease in resolution, while the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K. This is a classic sign of a balanced system where the CPU is strong enough to feed the GPU at lower resolutions but is eventually overwhelmed by the sheer pixel-pushing demands of 4K.
