Inside

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a Puzzle Platformer, with the data showing a top-tier ranking. The measured frame rates are remarkably high across all settings and resolutions, indicating that this pairing is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher quality presets, yet still capable of exploiting the CPU's strengths at lower settings. The benchmark results place this combo in the 90th percentile of all 1671 tested configurations, underscoring its elite status for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep but reveals a clear performance hierarchy. At Ultra settings, the average FPS falls from 269.5 at 1920x1080 to 191.5 at 2560x1440, and finally to 118.4 at 3840x2160. This represents a 56% reduction in average FPS from 1080p to 4K. The scaling pattern is consistent across all presets, with the gap between resolutions widening as the graphical load increases.

The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the RTX 5070 Ti is not fully saturated, allowing the Ryzen 5 7600X to push frame rates to extreme levels. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 376.7 FPS, while at 2560x1440 Low it drops to 336.9 FPS. The transition to 4K is where the GPU becomes the definitive limiting component. At 3840x2160, even the Low preset yields 252 FPS, which is still exceptionally playable but represents a 33% decline from the 1080p Low result.

The scaling behavior indicates a balanced system where neither component is a bottleneck at standard resolutions. At 4K, the GPU workload increases dramatically, and the frame rate drops proportionally. The fact that the 1080p Ultra result (269.5 FPS) is lower than the 1440p Medium result (313.6 FPS) shows that the graphical settings have a more significant impact on performance than resolution alone, up to a point. The 4K Ultra result of 118.4 FPS is the only measured configuration below the 120 FPS threshold, suggesting that this combo is best suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p or below.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant factor in this game's performance at higher resolutions. With 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, the card delivers a memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s. This substantial bandwidth is critical for handling the texture-heavy environments of Inside at 4K without stuttering. The GPU's boost clock of 2452 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz provide the raw compute power needed to maintain high frame rates.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its capability. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6604 and the PassMark G3D score of 32974 place it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 52086 is nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, with a deltaPct of 0. This indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is a direct performance peer to the RTX 4080 in synthetic workloads. The data shows that the card's 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 performance is more than sufficient for this game, as even the most demanding 4K Ultra preset maintains an average of 118.4 FPS.

The GPU's role becomes increasingly apparent as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are so high that the CPU is likely providing a ceiling, but at 3840x2160, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary drivers. The 96 ROPs and 280 TMUs ensure that pixel and texture processing keep pace with the high-resolution demands. The measured results show that the RTX 5070 Ti is never the weak link, even at 4K Ultra, where it still delivers a smooth experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, plays a supporting role that becomes more critical at lower resolutions and settings. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz provide exceptional single-thread performance, which is crucial for the physics and logic calculations in Inside. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3406 and multi-core score of 24128 demonstrate strong all-around capability.

The CPU's benchmark data shows it is a high-performance part, sitting in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 26272 is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, with a deltaPct of 0.2. This places it in a competitive position among desktop processors. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core ensure that game data is readily accessible, reducing latency.

In Inside, the CPU's influence is most visible at 1080p with lower settings. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo achieves 376.7 FPS, which is 11% higher than the 1440p Low result of 336.9 FPS. This indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is able to feed the GPU more effectively, and the frame rate is less constrained by the graphics card. The data shows that the Ryzen 5 7600X is not a bottleneck in this game, as even the most CPU-intensive scenarios at 1080p produce frame rates well above the refresh rate of any standard monitor. The 12 threads handle the game's threading requirements efficiently, and the high clock speeds ensure responsive gameplay.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings. At 3840x2160, the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, with an average of 129.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 118.4 FPS, which is a 9% reduction, while Medium and Low presets deliver 202.8 FPS and 252 FPS respectively. For 4K users, High is the recommended choice as it maintains a triple-digit frame rate while offering superior visual fidelity compared to Medium.

At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 203.8 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset at this resolution yields 191.5 FPS, still well above 144 FPS, but the incremental visual gains are marginal. For 1440p, High is the sweet spot, providing a 6% performance advantage over Ultra while looking nearly identical in practice. The Medium preset at 313.6 FPS is overkill for most displays and sacrifices visual quality.

At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 280.6 FPS, which is more than enough for any current display. The Ultra preset at 269.5 FPS is also viable, and the difference between High and Ultra is minimal at this resolution. The data suggests that High is the most efficient choice across all resolutions, as it consistently offers the best frame rate-to-quality ratio. The Low preset at 1080p achieves 376.7 FPS, but this is only useful for extreme competitive play, which is not the primary use case for a puzzle platformer.
