Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination delivers an exceptional experience in Inside, with the data showing that even at 4K Ultra settings, the game remains fully playable. The measured results place this combo in the 2500th position out of 3716 tested configurations, a solid mid-pack ranking that reflects strong 1080p and 1440p performance. This pairing proves that a capable eight-core CPU with a mainstream RDNA 3 GPU is more than sufficient for this puzzle platformer, which prioritizes consistent frame pacing over raw graphical fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data clearly indicates that the Ultra preset is the optimal choice for this hardware configuration, as it delivers frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of standard 60Hz displays at every resolution tested. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 134 FPS, which is only a 7 FPS drop from the High preset’s 141 FPS, making the visual upgrade essentially free in performance terms. This pattern holds at 2560x1440, where Ultra averages 97 FPS versus High’s 101 FPS, and even at 3840x2160, Ultra maintains a respectable 61 FPS average, which is still perfectly smooth for a game of this genre.

For users with high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p, the Medium preset offers a compelling alternative, with an average of 162 FPS and a recorded minimum of 138 FPS, ensuring that even the most demanding scenes stay above the 120Hz threshold. The Medium settings at 1080p push performance to 226 FPS average, with a minimum of 192 FPS, making this the best choice for competitive or fast-paced play where every millisecond counts. The Low preset, while achieving extraordinary frame rates of 282 FPS at 1080p and 203 FPS at 1440p, sacrifices the atmospheric lighting and shadow quality that makes Inside visually distinctive, so it is only recommended for users with 240Hz+ displays who prioritize maximum fluidity above all else.

The 4K Medium preset, averaging 102 FPS with a minimum of 87 FPS, represents the best balance for 4K displays, as it provides a substantial improvement over Ultra’s 61 FPS while maintaining the visual coherence that Medium settings offer. The data suggests that the game engine is highly efficient at scaling with settings, as the gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution is consistent, indicating that users can freely experiment with the preset slider without fear of hitting a performance wall.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, plays the dominant role in determining performance at higher resolutions in Inside. The GPU’s boost clock of 2655 MHz and game clock of 2250 MHz, paired with 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs, allow it to deliver a pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s, which directly translates to the smooth frame rates observed in the measured data. The GPU’s 21.75 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, combined with its RDNA 3.0 architecture, proves more than adequate for this title’s relatively modest graphical demands.

The shift in bottleneck behavior is evident when comparing the 1080p Ultra result of 134 FPS to the 4K Ultra result of 61 FPS, a drop of 54.5% that clearly implicates the GPU as the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The RX 7600’s 8 GB VRAM capacity is not challenged by Inside, as even the Ultra preset at 4K does not appear to cause any memory-related stuttering, given the absence of min FPS data for most settings. The GPU’s PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while narrower than a full x16 slot, is more than sufficient for a game of this era, and the measured results show no evidence of bandwidth constraints.

The RX 7600’s nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, which is 0.2% behind, and the AMD Radeon 680M, which is 0.7% ahead, placing this GPU in a competitive mid-range tier. The GPU’s 57th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates that it sits comfortably in the upper half of the performance distribution, which aligns with its ability to maintain high frame rates in this game. The pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s is particularly relevant for Inside’s 2D-rendered elements, which rely heavily on fill rate rather than complex geometry.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 7600 achieves a rank of 2500 out of 3716 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the 67th percentile of all configurations tested. This ranking is somewhat lower than what the individual component benchmarks might suggest, likely due to the game’s low CPU utilization and the presence of many high-end GPUs in the test pool. The CPU itself, with a 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, is clearly not the limiting factor, as its 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample headroom for a game that does not heavily multi-thread its workload.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 27051 is nearly identical to that of the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097, a delta of just -0.2%, indicating that the 5700G offers comparable processing power to a flagship Intel chip from the previous generation. This parity in CPU performance means that the combo’s rank is almost entirely determined by the GPU, which sits at the 57th percentile among all GPUs. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 15171 is within 0.2% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM’s 15199, confirming that this pairing is well-balanced for a mid-range gaming system.

The data shows that this combo excels at 1080p and 1440p but begins to show its limitations at 4K, particularly on Ultra settings where the 61 FPS average is close to the edge of smoothness for some users. The rank of 2500 suggests that approximately 67% of tested configurations deliver better performance, which is expected given the presence of many higher-tier GPUs in the database. However, for the target audience of Inside players, this combo provides more than enough performance to enjoy the game’s atmospheric puzzles without compromise.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS data shows a clear progression across settings: Low averages 282 FPS, Medium averages 226 FPS with a minimum of 192 and maximum of 259, High averages 141 FPS, and Ultra averages 134 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is substantial at 85 FPS, suggesting that the High preset enables more demanding visual effects that significantly impact performance. The Ultra preset’s 134 FPS average is only 5.2% lower than High, indicating that the additional Ultra features are relatively lightweight in this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain highly playable across all settings: Low averages 203 FPS, Medium averages 162 FPS with a minimum of 138 and maximum of 186, High averages 101 FPS, and Ultra averages 97 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable 28-30% reduction in frame rates for the Low and Medium presets, while the High and Ultra presets see a 28-29% reduction, confirming that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at these settings. The Medium preset’s minimum of 138 FPS at 1440p is particularly noteworthy, as it ensures consistent frame delivery even in the game’s most visually complex scenes.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile changes dramatically: Low averages 127 FPS, Medium averages 102 FPS with a minimum of 87 and maximum of 117, High averages 64 FPS, and Ultra averages 61 FPS. The 4K Low preset’s 127 FPS average is impressive, showing that the GPU has ample headroom when visual effects are reduced. However, the High and Ultra presets at 4K drop below 65 FPS, which may cause noticeable judder on 60Hz displays if frame pacing is inconsistent. The Medium preset at 4K, with its 87 FPS minimum, offers the best combination of visual quality and smoothness for 4K users.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in an average FPS reduction of approximately 28% across all settings, while the transition from 1440p to 4K yields a further reduction of approximately 37-40% for the Low and Medium presets, and 37-38% for the High and Ultra presets. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly the limiting factor as resolution increases, with the CPU’s contribution diminishing at higher pixel counts. The relatively uniform percentage drops across settings suggest that Inside’s rendering pipeline scales linearly with pixel count, without any unexpected bottlenecks or memory constraints.

The 1080p to 4K scaling tells a clear story: Low drops from 282 FPS to 127 FPS, a 55% reduction; Medium drops from 226 FPS to 102 FPS, a 55% reduction; High drops from 141 FPS to 64 FPS, a 55% reduction; and Ultra drops from 134 FPS to 61 FPS, also a 54% reduction. This consistent 54-55% scaling across all settings is a textbook example of GPU-bound behavior, where the frame rate is directly proportional to the number of pixels being rendered. The CPU, with its 16 threads and 3.80 GHz base clock boosting to 4.60 GHz, is clearly not a limiting factor at any resolution, as evidenced by the lack of any resolution-dependent CPU bottlenecks.

The scaling data suggests that users with 1080p or 1440p displays can run the game at any preset without concern, as even the most demanding settings maintain high frame rates. For 4K users, the choice of preset is critical, as the difference between Medium’s 102 FPS and Ultra’s 61 FPS represents a 40% performance swing that directly impacts playability. The fact that 4K Low still averages 127 FPS indicates that the GPU’s 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is sufficient for this title, and the bottleneck at higher settings is purely a function of the GPU’s shading and fill rate capabilities.
