Inside

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for this AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + Radeon RX 7600 XT combination in Inside reveal a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern as resolution climbs. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 292.8 FPS average, but this drops to 209 FPS at 1440p and 129.7 FPS at 4K. That represents a 55.7% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating the graphics card is the primary limiter even at the lowest quality preset.

Moving to High settings, the scaling is steeper: 146.7 FPS at 1080p, 104.5 FPS at 1440p, and 63.8 FPS at 4K. The 4K figure is 56.5% lower than the 1080p result, showing that the RX 7600 XT's 16 GB frame buffer and 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are being taxed more heavily as pixel count increases. The drop from 1440p to 4K at High settings is particularly sharp — 104.5 down to 63.8 FPS — which suggests the GPU's 128-bit memory interface becomes a bottleneck at 4K with higher quality assets.

Ultra settings tell a similar story: 138.8 FPS at 1080p, 98.7 FPS at 1440p, and 65.3 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K narrows slightly compared to High settings, implying that Ultra's additional rendering load is distributed more evenly across resolutions. Notably, the 4K Ultra result (65.3 FPS) is actually slightly higher than 4K High (63.8 FPS), an anomaly that suggests measurement variance rather than a true performance inversion, as Ultra typically demands more resources.

The data indicates that this combo delivers playable frame rates at every resolution tested, even 4K Ultra at 65.3 FPS. However, the scaling curve shows that 1080p is where the CPU's Zen 3 architecture with 8 cores and 16 threads can fully stretch its legs — the 292.8 FPS Low result at 1080p is more than double the 4K Low figure, highlighting how resolution scaling disproportionately impacts the GPU while the Ryzen 7 5700 remains underutilized at lower pixel counts.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this CPU+GPU pairing ranks 1079 out of 1671 tested combinations for Inside, placing it in the 35th percentile of all combos tracked. This middling rank reflects the GPU's position in the broader market — the RX 7600 XT sits at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 5700 achieves the 84th percentile among all CPUs. The combination of a strong processor with a mid-range graphics card results in a system that is CPU-heavy relative to its GPU, which explains why the overall combo rank is lower than the CPU's individual standing.

The CPU's benchmark scores reinforce this assessment. In Cinebench R23, the Ryzen 7 5700 scores 20655 multi-core and 2916 single-core, with a PassMark multi-thread score of 24303 and single-thread score of 3296. These figures place it within 1.2% of rivals like the Intel Core i9-9900K (27043 avg score, 0.7% delta) and Intel Core i7-12700H (27006 avg score, 0.8% delta). The CPU's 84th percentile ranking among all processors indicates it is not the limiting factor in this gaming combo.

The GPU, by contrast, shows a more modest profile. Its PassMark G3D score of 17132 and average benchmark score of 20146 place it at the 63rd percentile. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 7600 (20258 avg score, -0.6% delta) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (19774 avg score, 1.9% delta), showing the RX 7600 XT is competitive with but not decisively ahead of these alternatives. The 0.3% delta versus the RX 460 (20088 avg score) is particularly telling — despite the massive architectural generational gap, the average benchmark scores are nearly identical, though the RX 7600 XT's 16 GB GDDR6 memory versus the RX 460's smaller frame buffer tells a different story in actual gaming workloads.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7600 XT's memory configuration is its defining characteristic for Inside. With 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivering 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, the card has ample capacity for this puzzle platformer's relatively modest asset sizes. The 4K Ultra result of 65.3 FPS demonstrates that the 16 GB buffer is not being exhausted at any tested setting, as frame rates remain consistent with the card's compute capabilities rather than showing memory-related stutters.

Clock speeds play a significant role in the observed performance. The GPU's boost clock of 2755 MHz and game clock of 2470 MHz, built on TSMC's 6 nm process with 13,300 million transistors, enable the 22.57 TFLOPS FP32 throughput that drives the measured frame rates. The 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 176.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 352.6 GTexel/s, which are the raw throughput figures that determine how quickly Inside's atmospheric 2.5D environments can be rendered. The 32 ray accelerators are present but irrelevant for this title, as Inside does not implement ray-traced effects that would leverage them.

The GPU's RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, represents a modern design that supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6. The measured results show this translates to 292.8 FPS at 1080p Low and 146.7 FPS at 1080p High, indicating that even at the highest settings the GPU is never the sole bottleneck at 1080p — the CPU's 3.70 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clocks are sufficient to feed the card. However, at 4K, the GPU's 128-bit memory bus becomes more consequential, as evidenced by the 63.8 FPS High result that is only 46% of the 1080p High score.

Settings Recommendations

For 1440p gaming, the data suggests High settings at 104.5 FPS provides the best balance of visual quality and performance. The jump from Medium (167 FPS) to High (104.5 FPS) is substantial, but the 1440p High result remains comfortably above 60 FPS, making it the sweet spot for this resolution. Ultra at 1440p drops to 98.7 FPS, a marginal 5.5% reduction from High, which could be justified if visual fidelity is prioritized, but High offers nearly identical performance with fewer rendering demands.

At 4K, the recommendation shifts to Medium settings, which delivers 103.8 FPS — the only 4K preset that breaks the 100 FPS barrier. High at 4K yields 63.8 FPS, which is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, while Ultra at 65.3 FPS offers a paradoxically similar result. Low at 4K produces 129.7 FPS but sacrifices the atmospheric lighting and shadow quality that define Inside's visual identity. For players targeting 60 FPS with maximum fidelity, 4K High at 63.8 FPS is viable, but Medium provides a more comfortable margin.

At 1080p, the situation is reversed — the CPU becomes more relevant, and all settings deliver above 138 FPS. Low hits 292.8 FPS, Medium 230.3 FPS, High 146.7 FPS, and Ultra 138.8 FPS. Since even Ultra exceeds 120 FPS, 1080p users should select Ultra without hesitation. The narrow gap between High and Ultra at 1080p (146.7 vs 138.8 FPS) indicates that Ultra's additional settings are not particularly taxing, making it the optimal choice for high-refresh-rate monitors.
