GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is the dominant component in this pairing. Its specifications reveal why it drives such high frame rates in Inside. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1929 MHz and a boost clock of 2498 MHz, with a game clock of 2365 MHz. The memory runs at 2500 MHz with 20 Gbps effective speed. Critically, the 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus provides 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for a 2016 puzzle platformer.

The GPU's raw compute capabilities are substantial. It delivers 61.39 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and features 6144 shading units, 384 TMUs, and 192 ROPs. The 96 ray tracing cores and 479.6 GPixel/s pixel rate further underscore its capacity. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 31238 in Passmark G3D and 17689 in Passmark GPU Compute, ranking in the 85th percentile of all GPUs.

When comparing to its nearest rivals, the RX 7900 XTX's average benchmark score of 44019 is 0.8% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile's 43667, and 1.6% higher than the NVIDIA Quadro M6000's 43313. It trails the AMD Radeon Pro 580 by 0.4% and the RTX 4070 Ti by 2%. These margins show the GPU sits in a competitive tier, yet the measured FPS in Inside indicates the game is not stressing the GPU to its limits, as even the most demanding settings produce triple-digit averages.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank for this CPU and GPU pairing in Inside is 171 out of 1671 total tested combos. This places the configuration in the 89.8th percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms roughly 1500 other combinations. The rank reflects the synergy between the Ryzen 5 7500F and the RX 7900 XTX in this specific game title.

The data indicates this is a high-performing combination, though not the absolute top. The rank of 171 suggests there are 170 other combinations that achieve higher average frame rates, likely involving more powerful CPUs or GPUs. However, the measured FPS values in this game are already so high that the practical difference between this rank and higher ranks may be minimal at standard refresh rates. For context, the CPU itself ranks in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 24993, while the GPU ranks in the 85th percentile. The combined system performance in Inside aligns with these individual rankings, confirming that neither component is a bottleneck in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 115.1 at Ultra to 240.1 at Low. The Medium preset achieves 191.9 FPS, while High reaches 119.4 FPS. This represents a performance delta of 125 FPS between the Low and Ultra presets at 4K.

Moving to 2560x1440, all presets exceed 180 FPS. The Low setting produces 313.3 FPS, Medium reaches 292.1 FPS, High achieves 190.4 FPS, and Ultra delivers 183 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 130.3 FPS at this resolution. The 1080p results show the highest frame rates: Low hits 354.1 FPS, Medium reaches 322.5 FPS, High produces 264.4 FPS, and Ultra manages 252.5 FPS.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: the difference between Low and Medium is relatively small (ranging from 30-50 FPS), while the jump from Medium to High causes a more significant drop (ranging from 70-100 FPS). The transition from High to Ultra incurs a smaller penalty of 4.3 to 7.4 FPS across resolutions. This suggests the Medium preset offers the best balance for high refresh rate displays, while High provides a solid experience for standard 60 Hz monitors at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F provides the processing foundation for this system. It features 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The CPU has a 65 W TDP and uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

Synthetic benchmarks show the CPU's multithreaded capabilities: it scores 22799 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 6379 in 3DMark max threads. Single-thread performance is also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3218 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 974. The CPU's average benchmark score of 24993 places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Notably, its nearest rival is the Intel Core i7-11850H, which scores 24974, a delta of just 0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X scores 25057, putting it 0.3% ahead, while the Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25064, also 0.3% ahead.

For Inside, a puzzle platformer, the CPU load is moderate. The game's mechanics rely on physics and logic rather than heavy simulation, so the 6-core/12-thread configuration is ample. The high single-thread score of 3218 in Cinebench R23 ensures responsive frame pacing, while the multithreaded score of 22799 provides headroom for any background tasks. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5 further supports smooth data flow to the GPU.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings. At 1920x1080, even the Ultra preset delivers 252.5 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. This means 1080p users can select Ultra without concern, as the system maintains over 250 FPS at all times. The Low preset's 354.1 FPS offers marginal benefit for competitive play, but the visual downgrade is unnecessary given the headroom.

For 2560x1440, the Medium preset at 292.1 FPS provides an excellent experience for 240 Hz displays. The High preset at 190.4 FPS suits 165 Hz monitors, while Ultra at 183 FPS remains above 144 Hz. Users with 144 Hz displays can comfortably choose Ultra, as the 183 FPS average stays well above the refresh threshold.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. The Ultra preset at 115.1 FPS is suitable for 120 Hz displays, though it falls short of 144 Hz. The High preset at 119.4 FPS offers a similar experience. The Medium preset at 191.9 FPS provides substantial headroom for 144 Hz monitors, while the Low preset at 240.1 FPS targets 240 Hz displays. For the best balance at 4K, the Medium preset is recommended, as it delivers nearly double the frame rate of Ultra while maintaining reasonable visual quality for a puzzle platformer. The High preset is a viable alternative for users prioritizing visual fidelity, with frame rates above 115 FPS.
