Inside

This analysis examines the measured performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the Intel Arc B580 in the puzzle platformer Inside. The data set includes average FPS at three resolutions and four quality presets, along with synthetic benchmark scores for both components. The combo ranks 1291st out of 1671 tested combinations in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It carries 16 MB of L3 cache and a 65W TDP, and it supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 20,655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,916 in single-core, while its 3DMark single-thread score is 901 and its Passmark single-thread score is 3,296. Its average benchmark score is 27,220, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs.

The nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the Intel Core i9-9900K (0.7% lower), Intel Core i7-12700H (0.8% lower), Intel Core i7-1370P (0.8% lower), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 (1.2% lower). The Ryzen 7 5700 outperforms all four by margins between 0.7% and 1.2%, indicating a solid mid-range position. For a puzzle platformer like Inside, single-thread performance often matters more than raw multi-core throughput. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 2,916 suggests strong per-core capability, which likely contributes to the high frame rates observed at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average FPS reaches 266.6, a figure that implies the CPU is not a bottleneck at this setting. Even at 4K Low, the average FPS is 124.1, showing that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately across the tested resolution range.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear downward trend as resolution increases. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 135.8 at 1080p to 99.1 at 1440p and 59.5 at 4K. The 4K figure falls below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at this resolution. At Low settings, the scaling is less severe: 266.6 at 1080p, 193.4 at 1440p, and 124.1 at 4K. The 4K Low result still exceeds 60 FPS, showing that the GPU has headroom when visual quality is reduced. The pattern across all presets—where FPS declines consistently with resolution—suggests a GPU-bound workload at higher pixel counts. The CPU's performance is constant across resolutions, so the drop is attributable to the GPU's rendering load. This is typical for a game like Inside, which relies on the GPU for pixel shading and post-processing effects.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1291 out of 1671 places this pairing in the lower half of tested configurations. It outperforms 380 combinations but trails 1290, meaning it is not a top-tier performer in this specific game. The CPU's 84th percentile and the GPU's 66th percentile (as detailed later) suggest both components are above average individually, yet the combined result is modest. This could indicate that Inside does not heavily stress either component, or that the pairing is not optimally balanced for this title. The rank implies that many other CPU-GPU combinations deliver higher average FPS, but the data does not specify which components those are. For a puzzle platformer, the absolute frame rate is already high—even at 4K Ultra, the average is 55.5 FPS—so the rank may reflect the game's low overall demand rather than a weakness in this combo.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution. At 1080p, all four presets exceed 60 FPS: Low (266.6), Medium (215.4), High (135.8), and Ultra (127.9). High offers a strong balance, delivering 135.8 FPS while presumably retaining more visual detail than Medium. At 1440p, all presets also stay above 60 FPS, with High at 99.1 and Ultra at 92.9. For 4K, only Low (124.1) and Medium (99.8) maintain 60 FPS or higher; High (59.5) and Ultra (55.5) fall short. Therefore, for 4K gaming, Low or Medium are the only viable choices to ensure smooth gameplay. For 1080p and 1440p, High is recommended as it provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while likely preserving visual fidelity. Ultra at 1080p and 1440p still delivers playable frame rates, but the incremental visual gain over High may not justify the performance drop.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture and features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz, and it contains 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The GPU's FP32 performance is 13.67 TFLOPS, and it has a TDP of 190 W. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 3,068 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 92,821 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 109,672 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its Passmark G3D score is 15,748, and its average benchmark score is 23,021, placing it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs.

The nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the AMD Radeon 760M (0.1% lower), NVIDIA P106-100 (0.3% lower), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (0.7% higher), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (1.3% lower). The Arc B580 sits 0.1% above the Radeon 760M, 0.3% above the P106-100, and 1.3% above the RTX 4060 Mobile, but 0.7% below the RTX 4060. In Inside, the GPU's 12 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for a puzzle platformer, and the high memory bandwidth helps maintain frame rates at 4K. The measured FPS at 4K Low (124.1) and Medium (99.8) demonstrates that the GPU can handle high resolutions when settings are reduced. The drop to 59.5 FPS at 4K High suggests that the GPU's shading and texture throughput becomes a limiting factor at higher quality presets, aligning with its mid-range positioning in the benchmark hierarchy.
