Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a formidable combination for Inside, a game that is far more forgiving than most modern titles. The data shows this combo ranks 553rd out of 1,671 tested combinations, placing it in the top third of all systems. This rank is unsurprising given the hardware's pedigree; the CPU sits in the 83rd percentile of all processors, and the GPU is in the 87th percentile of all graphics cards. In practical terms, this system is not just capable of running the game but is positioned to obliterate it at nearly every setting and resolution, with the only limitation being the frame rate ceiling of the display.

How This Combo Ranks

The 553rd overall rank out of 1,671 tested combos (top 33%) is a strong result, but it actually undersells the experience you will get. This rank is a global average across all games, and Inside is a title with modest demands. The system's performance here is dictated by the sheer strength of the RX 6800 XT, which is the clear driver of the high frame rates. The CPU, a Ryzen 7 5700G, provides a solid foundation with its 8 cores and 16 threads, ensuring the GPU is never starved for data. In the context of this game, the data indicates that the combo is overkill, delivering playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra. The ranking would be far less impressive in a more demanding shooter, but for a puzzle platformer, this hardware is in the upper echelon of what is available. The delta between this combo and the top performers is likely due to more extreme CPUs and GPUs, but for the target resolution of 1440p or 4K, the performance on display is exceptional.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is the undisputed workhorse in this pairing. It is a 16 GB GDDR6 card with a 256-bit memory bus, providing 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is more than ample for Inside's textures and geometry. The GPU's clock speeds are also a significant factor: a base clock of 1825 MHz, a game clock of 2015 MHz, and a boost clock of 2250 MHz. This high boost clock allows the card to push frame rates aggressively. The card's 72 ray accelerators are present, but Inside does not use ray tracing, so their impact is null here. The FP32 compute of 20.74 TFLOPS confirms its raw power. In this game, the GPU is so powerful that it is rarely the limiting factor. The data proves this: at 1080p Low, the system hits 299.1 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum output capacity for this title. The GPU's role is to provide consistent, high frame rates, and it does so without breaking a sweat. Its performance percentile of 87% against all GPUs is reflected in the measured results, which show it outpacing the CPU's needs at every turn.

Resolution Scaling

The way frame rates scale with resolution reveals a system that is heavily GPU-bound at 4K but becomes CPU-bound at 1080p. At 4K Ultra, the system produces 93.9 FPS. Dropping to 1440p Ultra increases that to 146.5 FPS, a significant 56% jump. Moving down to 1080p Ultra yields 201.1 FPS, another 37% increase. This scaling pattern is typical for a high-end GPU; as resolution drops, the GPU has less work to do, and the CPU becomes the bottleneck. The gap between 1440p and 1080p is smaller than the gap between 4K and 1440p, suggesting that the CPU is starting to limit the frame rate at 1080p. The Ryzen 7 5700G's single-thread performance, while good, is not limitless. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system maxes out at 299.1 FPS, which is likely the ceiling of what this CPU can feed to the GPU in this engine. Therefore, for a 60 Hz or 144 Hz display, the system is overkill at 1080p, but it is perfectly matched for 4K gaming, where the GPU is fully utilized.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data paints a clear picture of a system that is ready for any challenge Inside can throw at it. Here is the breakdown:

• 1920x1080: At this resolution, the system is untouchable. The Low preset yields an average of 299.1 FPS, which is an absurdly high number. The Medium preset is nearly identical at 276.1 FPS, and the High preset drops slightly to 215.1 FPS. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, still manages a stellar 201.1 FPS. These numbers indicate that the CPU is the primary limiter here, as the GPU has plenty of headroom.

• 2560x1440: This is the sweet spot for this hardware. The Low preset delivers 271.2 FPS, while Medium hits 245 FPS. The High preset is a solid 153.1 FPS, and Ultra maintains 146.5 FPS. All of these are well above 144 Hz, meaning you can max out a high-refresh monitor without any issues. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is significant, showing the GPU is now being pushed harder.

• 3840x2160: 4K is where the GPU's power is fully realized. The Low preset produces 190.5 FPS, which is still remarkably high. Medium drops to 153.1 FPS, and High comes in at 97.5 FPS. The Ultra preset yields 93.9 FPS, which is still perfectly playable on a 60 Hz or even a 120 Hz display. This shows that even at the highest resolution, the RX 6800 XT is more than capable of providing a smooth experience.

FAQ

*Q: Can this system run Inside at 4K Ultra settings?*

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with the Ultra preset is 93.9 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, making it a viable option for 4K displays.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck at 1080p?

A: The data suggests the CPU is the limiting factor. At 1920x1080 with the Low preset, the system achieves 299.1 FPS, which is the highest score of all settings. The GPU is powerful enough to render far more frames, but the CPU cannot feed it data fast enough at this low resolution.

Q: What is the best resolution for a 144 Hz monitor?

A: 2560x1440 is the optimal choice. At this resolution, the High preset achieves 153.1 FPS, and the Ultra preset hits 146.5 FPS. Both are above the 144 Hz refresh rate, allowing you to use your monitor's full capability.

Q: How does the CPU's performance compare to a close rival?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 25,626. This is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores 25,706, a difference of -0.3%. It is also on par with the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, which scores 25,532, a delta of 0.4%.

Q: Is the RX 6800 XT significantly faster than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in this system?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 49,982. This is 2.6% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's score of 48,704. In the context of Inside, this small margin means both cards will deliver similar, extremely high frame rates.

Q: How much VRAM does the RX 6800 XT have, and is it enough?

A: The card has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. For Inside, a puzzle platformer, 16 GB is far more than sufficient. Even at 4K Ultra, the game will not come close to exhausting this buffer, ensuring no texture pop-in or stuttering due to memory limitations.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured data, the optimal experience is to maximize visual quality without sacrificing performance. At 4K, the High preset is the best choice, as it delivers 97.5 FPS, which is a good balance for a 60 Hz display. The Ultra preset at 93.9 FPS is also playable, but the 3.6 FPS difference is not worth the potential for slight dips. At 1440p, you should not compromise. The Ultra preset yields 146.5 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh monitors, and the High preset at 153.1 FPS is equally viable if you prefer a slight frame rate edge. At 1080p, the system is so fast that you can use the Ultra preset at 201.1 FPS, but you will be leaving performance on the table with a high-refresh monitor, as the Low preset at 299.1 FPS is the only way to see the absolute maximum output. For most users, the High preset at 1440p offers the best combination of visual fidelity and frame rate headroom, ensuring a perfectly smooth experience that fully utilizes the hardware's capabilities.
