Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a game where the GPU is rarely the bottleneck. The data shows this combo ranks 153rd out of 1,671 tested configurations, placing it in the top 9.2% of all systems. This is a case where the high refresh rate potential of the hardware is fully realized, with the 1080p Low preset hitting 351.3 FPS and even the demanding 4K Ultra preset maintaining a fluid 119 FPS. The combination of a modern 6-core CPU and a high-end 40-series GPU ensures that the game’s simple 2D visuals are pushed to their absolute limits, making this a top-tier performer for the title.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that remains heavily GPU-bound even at lower resolutions, but the headroom is massive. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 272 FPS at 1920x1080 to 192.6 FPS at 2560x1440, a 29.2% reduction, and then to 123.5 FPS at 3840x2160, a further 35.9% reduction from 1440p. This scaling pattern indicates that while the GPU is the primary limiter, the CPU is more than capable of feeding it at all resolutions.

The story changes when lowering settings. At Low settings, the 1080p result of 351.3 FPS drops to 313.4 FPS at 1440p and then to 248 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is 29.4%, which is smaller than the 54.6% gap seen at High settings. This suggests that at Low settings, the CPU begins to play a more significant role at 1080p, capping performance before the GPU can fully stretch its legs. However, even at 4K Low, the system produces 248 FPS, proving that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is never truly stressed by this title.

The data indicates that the limiting component shifts from the GPU at Ultra settings to a more balanced CPU/GPU partnership at lower presets. The 4K Ultra result of 119 FPS is the only point where the GPU is working hard, while the 1080p Low result of 351.3 FPS shows a CPU-imposed ceiling that still comfortably exceeds any display's refresh rate. This is a system built for extreme frame rates, and the scaling confirms that 4K gaming is the only scenario where it is challenged.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its benchmark results show strong single-thread performance, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,218. This is crucial for Inside, a game that relies heavily on consistent frame pacing rather than massive multi-threaded workloads.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are also robust, as seen in its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,799 and Geekbench multi-core score of 12,686. In a game like this, the 12 threads are more than sufficient, and the data confirms that the CPU is not the limiting factor. At 1080p Low settings, the system hits 351.3 FPS, which is likely near the engine's or CPU's practical limit. The fact that 4K Ultra still produces 119 FPS shows that the CPU maintains its composure even when the GPU is working harder.

The processor's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support contribute to its responsiveness, but the key takeaway is that its high boost clock and efficient architecture prevent any stutters. The 7500F's performance is competitive, as its average benchmark score of 24,993 places it within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX and 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. For Inside, this CPU provides ample headroom, ensuring that the GPU is always fed with data.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database for Inside, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER achieves a rank of 153 out of 1,671 tested combos. This places it in the 91st percentile of all systems, indicating that it outperforms the vast majority of configurations. The high rank is a direct result of the GPU's raw power, which allows for high frame rates at every resolution.

The ranking is particularly impressive given that the CPU is not a top-tier halo product. The data shows that the GPU is the dominant contributor to this ranking, as the 4070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score of 48,704 places it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. The CPU's percentile rank of 82 is slightly lower, but the synergy between the two components is excellent. This combo outperforms many systems with more expensive CPUs, proving that a balanced pairing is often more effective than a lopsided one.

The 153rd position out of 1,671 means there are still 152 configurations that achieve higher frame rates in Inside, likely featuring top-end CPUs like the Ryzen 9 or Core i9 series paired with the RTX 4090. However, the gap in real-world performance is minimal, as the measured FPS shows this combo already exceeds 240 FPS at 1080p Medium. For a game with simple visuals, this combo is effectively in the top tier of performers.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the High preset at 2560x1440 offers the optimal balance of visual quality and performance, delivering 192.6 FPS. This frame rate is high enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor and is 3% higher than the Ultra preset at the same resolution, which yields 187.1 FPS. The visual difference between High and Ultra in a puzzle platformer like Inside is negligible, so the extra performance is preferable.

At 4K, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it produces 123.5 FPS compared to the Ultra preset's 119 FPS. The 3.6% performance gain from dropping from Ultra to High is worthwhile, and the visual impact is minimal. For players seeking maximum frame rates on a 240Hz or 360Hz display, the Medium preset at 1920x1080 is the best option, delivering 323 FPS, which is 25.8% higher than the High preset's 272 FPS.

The Low preset is rarely necessary, as even the Ultra preset at 1080p maintains 256.6 FPS. However, the data shows that the Low preset at 1080p achieves 351.3 FPS, which may be useful for competitive play or for users with extremely high refresh rate monitors. In general, the High preset is the sweet spot, providing a significant visual upgrade over Medium while sacrificing very little performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system produces exceptional results across all presets. The Low preset leads with 351.3 FPS, followed by Medium at 323 FPS, High at 272 FPS, and Ultra at 256.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 27% reduction, showing that even the most demanding settings at 1080p are easily handled.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high. The Low preset achieves 313.4 FPS, Medium reaches 291.3 FPS, High delivers 192.6 FPS, and Ultra produces 187.1 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is significant, a 33.9% reduction, indicating that the High preset introduces substantially more rendering work at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to feel the load. The Low preset still manages an impressive 248 FPS, and Medium follows with 195.7 FPS. The High preset yields 123.5 FPS, while the Ultra preset produces 119 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 3.6%, confirming that the Ultra preset is not well-optimized for this title. Across all resolutions, the system never drops below 119 FPS, cementing its status as a high-end performer.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the primary driver of this combo's exceptional performance in Inside. With 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, it offers a memory bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s, which is more than sufficient for the game's textures and effects. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz and its 8,448 shading units ensure that it can process the game's simple 2D scenes at extremely high speeds.

The GPU's benchmark scores confirm its power, with a PassMark G3D score of 31,811 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,569. Its average benchmark score of 48,704 places it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, and it is competitive with its nearest rivals. The data shows it is 1.6% faster than the NVIDIA RTX A2000 and 2% faster than the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile, while trailing the NVIDIA CMP 50HX by 0.7% and the Intel Arc A550M by 2.1%.

In Inside, the GPU's role is to remove any potential frame rate cap, and it succeeds. The 4K Ultra result of 119 FPS demonstrates that even at maximum settings and resolution, the GPU has ample headroom. The 16 GB of VRAM is never a limiting factor, as the game's requirements are modest. The GPU's efficiency is such that it can deliver 248 FPS at 4K Low, highlighting that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is overkill for this title, but it ensures a flawless experience for users with high-refresh-rate displays or those who want to max out every setting without compromise.
