GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the dominant component in this pairing, and the measured frame rates reflect its substantial capabilities. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2325 MHz with a boost clock of 2512 MHz, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using a 5 nm process. Its 6144 shading units and 192 tensor cores provide the raw compute throughput necessary for high-resolution rendering, though Inside's simple 2D visuals barely stress these resources.

The 12 GB GDDR7 memory pool with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth is particularly relevant here. Inside is a visually minimalist game with a muted color palette and limited texture detail, meaning the memory bus width of 192 bits and 80 ROPs are never saturated. This is why the GPU achieves 356.1 FPS at 1080p Low settings—the render pipeline is largely idle waiting on the CPU to feed it frames.

At 4K Ultra settings, the GPU's pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s come into play more meaningfully. The 107.2 FPS result at this setting shows that even when pushing the maximum resolution and quality preset, the RTX 5070 retains over 100 FPS average. The GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 performance ensures that the few shader effects present in Inside—chiefly the atmospheric lighting and water refraction—are processed without any measurable impact on frame delivery.

The GPU's benchmark percentile of 83 indicates it outperforms 83% of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 41687 places it within 0.6% of the RTX 3090 and 0.5% of the Tesla M40, per the nearestRivals data. For Inside specifically, the measured results confirm that the GPU is never the limiting factor, as even the lowest average FPS (107.2 at 4K Ultra) exceeds the refresh rate of most standard displays.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 serves as a capable companion to the RTX 5070, with benchmark results showing it holds its own in this workload. The processor features 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 (Raphael) architecture, operating at a 3.80 GHz base clock and 5.10 GHz boost clock. Its 65W TDP and 5 nm process node from TSMC make it an efficient choice, though Inside is not a demanding CPU workload.

Single-threaded performance is critical for a game like Inside, which relies on a primary game logic thread. The CPU scores 999 in 3dmark_single_thread and 3246 in cinebench_r23_singlecore, indicating strong per-core capability. The 32 MB shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which can be beneficial for maintaining consistent frame times even when the game engine occasionally reaches out for larger data structures.

Multithreaded performance is less relevant here, but the CPU's 3dmark_max_threads score of 6503 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 22992 demonstrate that it has plenty of headroom for background processes or future titles. The CPU's average benchmark score of 26617 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (0.2% higher) and Core i9-11900K (0.3% higher). These small deltas indicate the 7600 is competitive with previous-generation high-end parts.

In Inside, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and handle physics calculations. The measured frame rates show no signs of CPU bottlenecking, as frame rates scale predictably with resolution changes. At 1080p Low, the 356.1 FPS average suggests the CPU can deliver frames faster than the GPU can render them, while at 4K Ultra, the 107.2 FPS result shows the GPU becoming more of a limiting factor as pixel count increases.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimal settings in Inside. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver well over 200 FPS, with Low achieving 356.1 FPS and Ultra still hitting 234.3 FPS. The difference between Medium (329 FPS) and Ultra (234.3 FPS) is substantial, representing a 28.8% reduction in average frame rate. For most users with 60Hz or 144Hz displays, any preset at 1080p will provide a flawless experience.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation shifts slightly. High settings deliver 178.7 FPS, while Ultra drops to 170.5 FPS—a modest 4.6% reduction. Medium offers 285.7 FPS, which is more than sufficient for even 240Hz displays. The data suggests that High or Ultra at 1440p provides the best balance, as the visual quality improvements from Ultra settings are minimal in this game but the frame rate cost is relatively small.

For 3840x2160, the choice becomes more meaningful. Ultra settings yield 107.2 FPS, which is still above 100 FPS and suitable for most displays. High settings improve this to 110.6 FPS, a marginal 3.2% gain. Medium jumps to 180.9 FPS, representing a 68.8% improvement over Ultra, while Low reaches 224.9 FPS. Given that Inside is a puzzle platformer with deliberate pacing, the visual fidelity of Ultra at 4K is likely worth the frame rate trade-off, but users prioritizing smoothness should choose Medium for a significant performance boost.

The best overall experience per the measured rows is High settings at 2560x1440, offering 178.7 FPS with a balance of visual quality and performance. For 4K users, Medium at 180.9 FPS is the optimal choice, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while maintaining decent visual quality. At 1080p, Ultra at 234.3 FPS is recommended, as the frame rate remains high enough to support fast refresh rate displays without compromise.
