Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination delivers a remarkably smooth experience in Inside, with performance scaling that clearly identifies the GPU as the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves a staggering 307.6 FPS, but this drops to 139.8 FPS at 4K Low—a 54.5% reduction that demonstrates how the workload shifts from CPU-bound at lower resolutions to GPU-bound as pixel count rises. The pattern holds across all settings tiers: at 1080p High, the system produces 154.4 FPS, which falls to 69.9 FPS at 4K High. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at any given resolution is substantial, but the scaling curve remains consistent, indicating that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this title’s demands, with the limiting factor being raw shading throughput rather than memory capacity.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate trajectory from 1080p to 4K reveals a textbook GPU-limited scenario. At 1080p Low, the 307.6 FPS figure suggests the CPU has ample headroom; the Ryzen 5 7500F’s Zen 4 architecture with 6 cores and 12 threads is far from saturated. Moving to 1440p Low, the score drops to 221.6 FPS, a 28% decrease, while 4K Low yields 139.8 FPS—another 37% reduction. This near-linear scaling with pixel count is the signature of a GPU that is working progressively harder. The Ultra settings tell the same story: 147.4 FPS at 1080p, 104.4 FPS at 1440p, and 66.4 FPS at 4K. The most telling data point is the 4K Ultra result of 66.4 FPS, which remains comfortably playable but is less than half the 1080p Ultra figure of 147.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K (139.8 vs 66.4 FPS) is a 52.5% performance hit, which is proportionally larger than the 53.9% hit at 1080p (307.6 vs 147.4), reinforcing that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 2560 shading units are the decisive factor at high pixel densities.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this CPU-GPU pairing sits at rank 995 out of 1671 tested combinations for Inside, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all configs. The percentile standing is not directly listed, but the rank position indicates that while this combo is not a top-tier performer, it decisively outclasses the majority of systems. The RTX 2070 SUPER itself holds a 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206. Its nearest rivals in synthetic tests include the NVIDIA RTX A400 (scoring 22307, a -0.5% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (22006, +0.9% delta), meaning the 2070 SUPER is essentially neck-and-neck with these older or workstation-oriented cards. The CPU side is stronger: the Ryzen 5 7500F posts an 82nd percentile rank among all CPUs, with an average score of 24993. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11850H, scores 24974 (a negligible 0.1% delta), while the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X trails by 0.3%. This combination of a top-quartile CPU with a mid-range GPU explains the overall rank: the processor ensures no frame pacing issues, but the graphics card caps the absolute FPS ceiling.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo hit 60 FPS at 4K Ultra settings in Inside?*

A: Yes. The measured 4K Ultra average is 66.4 FPS, which exceeds the 60 FPS threshold with a small margin. This is the most demanding preset tested, and it remains playable.

Q: How much headroom exists at 1080p for high-refresh-rate monitors?

A: At 1080p High settings, the average is 154.4 FPS, which is sufficient for 144 Hz displays. Dropping to Low yields 307.6 FPS, which can feed a 300 Hz panel, though such monitors are rare.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 1440p Medium?

A: The 1440p Medium result of 177.9 FPS is high enough that the GPU is clearly the primary constraint. The Ryzen 5 7500F’s single-thread score of 974 in 3DMark and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3218 indicate it can handle far higher frame rates than the RTX 2070 SUPER can deliver at this resolution.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its closest GPU rival in synthetic tests?

A: The nearest rival is the NVIDIA RTX A400, which scores 22307 versus the 2070 SUPER’s 22206—a difference of only 0.5%. The GTX TITAN Z is 0.9% behind, while the RTX 4060 Mobile is 2.3% ahead.

Q: What is the performance delta between Low and Ultra at 4K?

A: At 4K, Low produces 139.8 FPS while Ultra produces 66.4 FPS. That is a 52.5% reduction in frame rate, showing that the visual fidelity settings have a massive impact on this GPU at high resolution.

*Q: Is the 8 GB VRAM capacity ever a concern in Inside?*

A: The data suggests no. The 4K Ultra result of 66.4 FPS indicates the game fits within the 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer without causing a catastrophic drop, which would occur if memory were exhausted.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full dataset provides a clear matrix of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 307.6 FPS on Low, 248 FPS on Medium, 154.4 FPS on High, and 147.4 FPS on Ultra. The jump from High to Ultra is a modest 4.5% drop, suggesting that Ultra adds little cost at this resolution. At 2560x1440, the figures are 221.6 FPS (Low), 177.9 FPS (Medium), 109.1 FPS (High), and 104.4 FPS (Ultra). The High-to-Ultra gap widens slightly to 4.3%. At 3840x2160, the numbers compress: 139.8 FPS (Low), 113 FPS (Medium), 69.9 FPS (High), and 66.4 FPS (Ultra). The High-to-Ultra delta is 5.0%, which is consistent with the other resolutions. Notably, the Medium preset at 4K (113 FPS) outperforms the High preset at 1440p (109.1 FPS), indicating that resolution scaling is not perfectly linear with settings scaling. The most extreme spread occurs at 1080p, where Low (307.6 FPS) is more than double Ultra (147.4 FPS), whereas at 4K, the spread is less than 2.1x (139.8 vs 66.4). This compression at higher resolutions is a direct result of the GPU becoming the sole bottleneck.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, built on the TU104 chip using a 12 nm process, is the defining component in this pairing for Inside. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for this puzzle platformer’s relatively modest texture demands. The GPU’s 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs deliver a peak FP32 throughput of 9.062 TFLOPS, with boost clocks reaching 1770 MHz. The data shows that this compute capacity is what governs frame rates at 1440p and 4K. For instance, the 4K Low result of 139.8 FPS is nearly identical to the 1440p Ultra result of 104.4 FPS, suggesting that the GPU is scaling its work efficiently. The RTX 2070 SUPER also includes 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores, though Inside does not leverage ray tracing, so these units remain idle. The GPU’s 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average score of 22206, contextualizes its position: it is a solid mid-range card that is outclassed by newer 40-series mobile parts (RTX 4060 Mobile is 2.3% faster) but still outperforms older high-end cards like the GTX TITAN Z (0.9% slower). In this specific game, the GPU’s age shows only at 4K Ultra, where the 66.4 FPS average is the only result below the 70 FPS mark, proving that the Turing architecture can still handle a 2016 title with ease.
