CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It features a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The data shows that this CPU is highly capable, as evidenced by its 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs. Its multi-threaded performance is strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916.

In the context of Inside, which is not a heavily threaded title, the CPU's single-thread performance is particularly relevant. The PassMark single-thread score of 3296 indicates strong per-core capability, which is crucial for maintaining high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck. The benchmark results show that at 1080p with Low settings, the combination reaches 302.6 FPS, a point where the CPU's ability to feed the GPU becomes the primary factor. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and support for DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s provide sufficient data throughput for the game's logic.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 27220 places it near the top of its class, with a 0.7% lead over the Intel Core i9-9900K and a 1.2% lead over the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340. This level of performance ensures that the processor is not a limiting factor in most gaming scenarios, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is less taxed. The data indicates that the CPU can comfortably drive frame rates above 200 FPS in this title, making it a solid foundation for the system.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a high-end graphics card based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, featuring the Navi 21 chip. It comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1825 MHz, a game clock of 2015 MHz, and a boost clock of 2250 MHz. The card's 4608 shading units and 128 ROPs contribute to its impressive pixel rate of 288.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 648.0 GTexel/s.

The GPU's role in Inside is clearly dominant, as the frame rate scales significantly with resolution. At 1080p with Low settings, the frame rate is 302.6 FPS, but this drops to 194.9 FPS at 4K with Low settings. This 35.6% reduction in performance at the same settings demonstrates that the GPU's rendering throughput is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. This is despite the game being relatively undemanding, as the RX 6800 XT's 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests it is a top-tier performer.

The 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for this title, even at 4K with Ultra settings, where the average frame rate is still a smooth 91.3 FPS. The GPU's high memory bandwidth and substantial compute power allow it to handle the game's visual effects with ease. The data shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences across settings and resolutions, with a clear correlation between the graphical workload and the measured FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT ranks 552nd out of 1671 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the upper third of all tested systems, indicating a well-balanced and high-performing pairing. The rank reflects the combined capabilities of the CPU and GPU, with the GPU's strong performance being the key contributor to the overall result.

The CPU's performance relative to its rivals is noteworthy, as it sits just ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K with a 0.7% delta. The GPU, while also strong, trails the NVIDIA RTX A1000 by 1.7% in average benchmark score, but leads the Intel Arc A550M by 0.5%. These comparisons show that while neither component is the absolute fastest available, their combination provides a very competitive experience in this game.

The ranking of 552 out of 1671 suggests that there are many systems with more powerful components, but the measured frame rates do not reflect any significant weakness. The data shows that this combo is capable of exceeding 200 FPS at 1080p with High settings, which is well above the threshold for a fluid gaming experience. The rank reflects the synergy between the CPU's strong single-threaded performance and the GPU's high raw throughput.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound performance in Inside. When comparing Low settings across resolutions, the frame rate drops from 302.6 FPS at 1080p to 269.7 FPS at 1440p, and then to 194.9 FPS at 4K. This shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the performance scales inversely with the number of pixels rendered.

At High settings, the trend is even more pronounced. The frame rate drops from 212.2 FPS at 1080p to 150.8 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 95.9 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K represents a 36.4% decrease in performance, which is consistent with the added pixel workload. This indicates that the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are fully utilized at higher resolutions.

The scaling from Medium to Ultra settings at 4K also highlights the GPU's role. At 4K Medium, the average is 151.9 FPS, while at 4K Ultra, it drops to 91.3 FPS. This 39.9% reduction is due to the increased graphical complexity, which puts more strain on the GPU's shaders and ROPs. The data suggests that for maximum frame rates, users should prioritize lower resolutions and settings, but even at 4K Ultra, the performance remains playable. The CPU's influence is only visible at 1080p Low, where the frame rate of 302.6 FPS approaches the limit of what the processor can deliver.
