Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. Across all tested resolutions and settings, the combo never drops below 106 FPS, indicating that this hardware vastly exceeds the game's requirements. The benchmark data reveals a system where the GPU is the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, while the CPU provides ample headroom for high refresh-rate gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and clearly demonstrates that the RTX 5070 becomes the limiting component at higher resolutions. At High settings, average FPS falls from 245 at 1920x1080 to 176 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 28.2%. Moving from 1440p to 3840x2160 High brings the average down further to 111 FPS, another 36.9% decrease. The total scaling from 1080p High to 4K High is a 54.7% performance loss, which is typical for a game that becomes increasingly GPU-bound as pixel count rises.

The pattern repeats across other settings. At Low settings, the 1080p average of 337 FPS drops to 302 at 1440p (a 10.4% decline) and then to 222 at 4K (a 26.5% decline from 1440p). The Medium preset shows similar scaling: 311 FPS at 1080p, 278 at 1440p, and 177 at 4K. Ultra settings follow the trend with 234 FPS at 1080p, 168 at 1440p, and 106 at 4K.

These results indicate that at 1080p, the system is likely CPU-limited or at least not fully GPU-utilized, as the frame rates are extraordinarily high. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K for most settings, which suggests the GPU still has headroom at 1440p but becomes the clear bottleneck at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 106 FPS shows that even the most demanding configuration tested remains playable, but the scaling curve confirms that the RTX 5070's workload increases disproportionately with resolution.

The data shows that users targeting 4K should expect roughly half the frame rate of 1080p, which is a direct consequence of the four-fold increase in pixel count. The Ryzen 5 7400F's six cores and 12 threads are more than adequate to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 337 FPS ceiling at 1080p Low. This indicates that the CPU is not the primary constraint in this game.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is more than sufficient for Inside, a game with relatively simple 2D-style visuals despite its 3D rendering. The GPU's 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines deliver the raw throughput needed for the high frame rates observed.

The RTX 5070's base clock is 2325 MHz with a boost clock of 2512 MHz, and it achieves a pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s alongside a texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance of 30.87 TFLOPS is substantial, but Inside's art style and gameplay mechanics do not stress the GPU to its limits. The game's release date of 2016-07-06 predates the RTX 50-series architecture by several years, meaning the GPU is operating well within its comfort zone.

The VRAM capacity of 12 GB is never threatened in this title, as Inside's graphical assets are modest by modern standards. The measured FPS data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the RTX 5070 maintains 106 FPS average, which suggests the GPU is not running out of memory or bandwidth. The 28 Gbps effective memory speed and 192-bit interface provide ample bandwidth for the game's texture streaming and rendering demands.

The benchmark scores for the RTX 5070 place it in the 82nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40377. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (deltaPct 0.8), and AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (deltaPct -1.2). These comparisons show that the RTX 5070 sits in the upper tier of GPU performance, though the specific game results in Inside are far higher than what these rival scores might suggest, because the game is not graphically intensive.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset at 2560x1440 offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. This configuration delivers 278 FPS average with a minimum of 237 FPS and a maximum of 320 FPS. The minimum frame rate is still far above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most gaming monitors, ensuring a smooth experience without any perceptible stutter.

For users with 4K displays, the Medium settings at 3840x2160 provide 177 FPS average with a minimum of 151 FPS and a maximum of 204 FPS. This is an excellent choice because it maintains high visual fidelity while keeping frame rates well above 144 FPS. The 151 FPS minimum ensures that even the most demanding scenes do not drop below the threshold for high-refresh-rate gaming.

The Ultra preset at 1080p delivers 234 FPS average, which is more than sufficient for any display. However, the visual difference between Medium and Ultra in Inside is unlikely to justify the 77 FPS drop (from 311 to 234 at 1080p). Similarly, at 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 106 FPS average, which is still playable but sacrifices the headroom that Medium provides.

The Low settings are not recommended for this hardware because the game's art style benefits from higher-quality rendering, and the performance gains are unnecessary. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 337 FPS, but this is only a 26 FPS improvement over Medium (311 FPS). The data shows that Medium provides the best performance-to-quality ratio across all resolutions.

For users who prioritize maximum visual fidelity and have a 4K display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the Ultra preset at 4K (106 FPS) is viable. However, the Medium preset at 4K (177 FPS) is the recommended choice because it offers a 67% performance increase with minimal visual compromise. The measured data clearly indicates that Medium is the sweet spot for this combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce an average of 337 FPS. Medium settings deliver 311 FPS average with a minimum of 264 FPS and a maximum of 357 FPS. High settings achieve 245 FPS average, and Ultra settings produce 234 FPS average. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 103 FPS, which shows that settings have a moderate impact on performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales predictably. Low settings produce 302 FPS average. Medium settings deliver 278 FPS average with a minimum of 237 FPS and a maximum of 320 FPS. High settings achieve 176 FPS average, and Ultra settings produce 168 FPS average. The difference between Medium and High at 1440p is 102 FPS, which is significant and suggests that High settings introduce a substantial graphical load.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates remain high but show more variation. Low settings produce 222 FPS average. Medium settings deliver 177 FPS average with a minimum of 151 FPS and a maximum of 204 FPS. High settings achieve 111 FPS average, and Ultra settings produce 106 FPS average. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 66 FPS, which is the largest proportional drop across any adjacent settings pair in the dataset.

The minimum FPS values were only recorded for Medium settings across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 264 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it is 237 FPS; and at 4K Medium, it is 151 FPS. These minimum values indicate that the frame time consistency is excellent, with no severe drops below the average. The maximum FPS values follow a similar pattern, with 357 FPS at 1080p, 320 FPS at 1440p, and 204 FPS at 4K.

The data shows that the RTX 5070 maintains a smooth experience even at the most demanding settings. The 4K Ultra result of 106 FPS is the lowest measured average, but it remains well above the 60 FPS standard for console-like performance.
