Its 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support contribute to its solid performance in gaming workloads.

For a title like Inside, which is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer, the CPU demands are typically modest. However, the benchmark results show that this processor is more than sufficient to keep up with the GPU. The Ryzen 7 5700G scores 8,717 in Cinebench R20 multicore and 1,230 in single-core, and it reaches 29.30 for Cinebench R23 single-core. These scores place the CPU in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, indicating that it has ample headroom for this game's physics and logic. The data suggests that the CPU will not be a bottleneck in any of the measured settings, allowing the GPU to dictate the frame rate.

Comparing it to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 5700G is effectively on par with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which has an average score of 25,706 against its 25,626, a negligible -0.3% delta. It is slightly ahead of the Intel Xeon D-2752TER by 0.4% and the Intel Core 5 210H by 0.5%. This performance parity means that in a game like Inside, the differences between these CPUs would be invisible in practice. The processor's strong multi-threaded performance, as shown by its 20,755 Cinebench R23 multicore score, ensures that even if the game were to spawn many entities, the frame rate would remain stable.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on the optimal settings for this hardware combination. The most striking result is that even at 4K with High settings, the system achieves an average of 77.5 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. However, for the best experience, users should consider the balance between visual fidelity and frame rate headroom.

At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 166.3 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate displays. The High preset at 175.8 FPS offers a marginal increase in speed, but the visual difference between High and Ultra is often negligible. For 1440p, the Ultra preset still provides a very playable 119 FPS, while the High preset reaches 126.6 FPS. Given the data, the Ultra preset is recommended for both 1080p and 1440p, as it provides the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

The situation changes at 4K. The Ultra preset drops to 74.8 FPS, which is still playable but begins to approach the lower boundary of what is considered ideal for fast-paced action. The High preset at 77.5 FPS is slightly better. However, the Medium preset at 127.5 FPS and the Low preset at 159.5 FPS show that dropping the settings dramatically increases performance. For 4K, the Medium preset is the sweet spot, offering a substantial performance boost over High while likely retaining a good level of visual detail for this stylized game.

A: At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average FPS is 175.8. At 3840x2160 with High settings, the average FPS is 77.5. This represents a 56% reduction in frame rate when moving to 4K.

Q: Should I use the Low preset for competitive play?

A: The Low preset provides the highest frame rates, reaching 304 FPS at 1080p and 253.1 FPS at 1440p. This ensures the absolute minimum input lag. However, the game is not a competitive multiplayer title, so the visual benefits of higher presets may be preferred.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 797th out of 1,671 tested combos for Inside. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all possible pairings. The rank is a holistic measure of the system's capability in this game, and the high FPS figures explain why it sits where it does.

The ranking is not a measure of failure, but rather a reflection of the vast number of potential hardware combinations. Many higher-ranked combos will feature more powerful GPUs, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, which is a direct rival to the RX 6750 XT but has a higher average benchmark score of 35,787. The data shows that the RX 6750 XT is positioned just below such cards, with an average benchmark score of 35,327. This means that while the combo is strong, it is not at the absolute top tier of performance.

Given the game's age and low system requirements, the 797th rank is not a cause for concern. The measured FPS at all settings is so high that the ranking is almost academic. For a game like Inside, the practical difference between the 797th and the 500th combo is likely to be unobservable, as both would be running at frame rates far beyond the refresh rate of most monitors.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture GPU based on the Navi 22 chip. It is built on a 7nm process by TSMC and features 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs.
