Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Inside, a game that scales cleanly from high-refresh 1080p panels up to 4K displays. The benchmark data shows a combo that is never CPU-bound at any tested resolution, with frame rates dropping predictably as pixel count rises. Across all twelve measured configurations, the pairing demonstrates that the RX 7600 XT’s 16 GB VRAM buffer is more than sufficient for this title, while the 5700G’s eight Zen 3 cores provide ample headroom for the game’s physics and logic threads.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 produces a clear, consistent frame rate curve that identifies the GPU as the primary scaling bottleneck. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate falls from 138.1 FPS at 1080p to 99.2 FPS at 1440p, a drop of roughly 28%, then further to 63.4 FPS at 4K. This pattern—where each resolution step costs about a third of the remaining performance—is classic GPU-bound behavior. The Low preset tells a similar story but with steeper absolute declines: 294.4 FPS at 1080p, 212.4 FPS at 1440p, and 130.4 FPS at 4K. The fact that even at 4K Low the combo still clears 130 FPS indicates the RX 7600 XT is never overwhelmed by this puzzle platformer’s relatively modest geometry load.

What makes the scaling particularly informative is the gap between presets at each resolution. At 1080p, Ultra runs at 138.1 FPS versus Low’s 294.4 FPS—more than a 2x difference. At 4K, that same preset gap narrows to 63.4 FPS versus 130.4 FPS, still roughly a 2x spread. This consistency suggests that the game’s settings primarily affect GPU shading work rather than CPU-side scene management. The 5700G’s 16 threads never appear to bottleneck the frame pipeline, as even the most CPU-intensive scenarios (1080p Low with 294.4 FPS) show no signs of plateauing. In short, resolution scaling here is purely a function of the Radeon RX 7600 XT’s rasterization throughput, with the CPU sitting comfortably in the background.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this pairing ranks 1039 out of 1671 tested combos for Inside. That places it in the lower third of all configurations tested, which is somewhat surprising given the strong absolute frame rates. The explanation lies in the nature of the game itself: Inside is a 2016 puzzle platformer with modest GPU demands, so many high-end combos achieve triple-digit frame rates at 4K, pushing the median score up. The RX 7600 XT’s 63rd percentile standing among all GPUs, combined with the 5700G’s 83rd percentile among CPUs, puts this combo in a position where it exceeds the average CPU performance but falls short of the top GPU tier for this specific title.

The rank of 1039 out of 1671 means roughly 38% of tested combos perform worse, while 62% perform better. This is not a condemnation of the hardware—the measured frame rates are playable across all settings—but rather a reflection that Inside rewards raw GPU fill rate more than most modern titles. The CPU’s nearest rivals are all mobile or low-power parts (the Ryzen 7 6800U, Xeon D-2752TER, Core 5 210H, and Ryzen 5 7640U, all within 0.6% of its average score), which reinforces that the 5700G is a solid mid-range desktop part. Meanwhile, the GPU sits within 1.9% of the RTX 2060 SUPER and 0.6% of the RX 7600, indicating that this is a firmly mainstream graphics solution.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7600 XT brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. For Inside, this is substantial overkill—the game’s art style uses simple textures and flat shading, so the memory pool is never taxed. The card’s 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs, running at a boost clock of 2755 MHz, produce a pixel rate of 176.3 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 352.6 GTexel/s. These figures translate directly into the measured performance: at 4K Ultra, the 63.4 FPS average represents roughly one frame per 15.8 milliseconds, which aligns with the GPU’s raw throughput when accounting for the game’s draw calls.

The GPU’s 22.57 TFLOPS FP32 compute is more than adequate for a game of this visual complexity. Its benchmark scores tell a consistent story: 17132 in Passmark G3D and 20146 average overall, placing it 63rd percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals are telling—the RX 7600 (non-XT) is only 0.6% faster on average, while the RX 460 (a much older part) is 0.3% slower, and the RTX 2060 SUPER is 1.9% behind. This tight clustering suggests the RX 7600 XT’s extra VRAM and slightly higher clocks do not translate into a meaningful advantage in Inside, where the game’s modest memory footprint means the 16 GB buffer never comes into play.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo run Inside at 4K with playable frame rates?*

A: Yes. At 4K High settings, the average frame rate is 64.6 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it is 63.4 FPS. Both are comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K?

A: At Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops from 138.1 FPS at 1080p to 63.4 FPS at 4K, a reduction of about 54%. At Low settings, the drop is from 294.4 FPS to 130.4 FPS, roughly a 56% reduction.

Q: Which component is the limiting factor at 1080p?

A: The data shows the GPU remains the bottleneck even at 1080p. The 5700G’s 16 threads and boost clock of 4.60 GHz are sufficient to feed the RX 7600 XT, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from 138.1 FPS at Ultra to 294.4 FPS at Low.

Q: Is the 16 GB VRAM on the RX 7600 XT useful for this game?

A: For Inside, the 16 GB buffer provides no practical benefit, as the game’s textures and geometry are modest. The card’s 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is the more relevant specification, and it is not taxed at any resolution tested.

Q: How does this combo compare to the RX 7600 non-XT?

A: The RX 7600 XT is 0.6% slower than the RX 7600 in average benchmark score, which is within the margin of measurement error. In practice, the two cards would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Inside.

Q: What is the best resolution for high-refresh displays?

A: At 1440p Low, the combo achieves 212.4 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most 144Hz monitors. For 240Hz displays, 1080p Low at 294.4 FPS is the only setting that fully saturates the panel.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and a Geekbench multicore score of 8970. For Inside, a game that does not heavily utilize more than a few threads, the CPU’s single-thread performance is more relevant—its 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and Passmark single-thread score of 3283 indicate solid IPC. The 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s provide ample data bandwidth for the game’s streaming assets.

The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 25626, places it well above the median. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of its score, confirming that the 5700G sits in a tightly contested performance band. For Inside, the CPU’s role is to maintain consistent frame pacing during physics calculations and entity updates. The data shows no scenario where the CPU becomes a limiting factor—even at 1080p Low with 294.4 FPS, the frame rate scales linearly with GPU settings changes, indicating the 5700G has headroom to spare. The 65W TDP and AM4 socket make it an efficient choice for a dedicated gaming build, though its integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are irrelevant when paired with the discrete RX 7600 XT.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear hierarchy of settings for different display targets. For 4K displays, the High preset at 64.6 FPS is the optimal choice—it offers a 1.9% improvement over Ultra’s 63.4 FPS while likely reducing some shadow or post-processing effects. The Medium preset at 4K delivers 107 FPS, which is ideal for 100Hz panels but may introduce visual compromises that are detectable in this minimalist art style. For 1440p, the High preset at 103.1 FPS is the sweet spot, providing a smooth experience on 144Hz monitors while maintaining visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 99.2 FPS is nearly identical in performance but may be worth the extra visual cost for players who prioritize image quality.

At 1080p, the choice depends on the display’s refresh rate. For 144Hz panels, the Ultra preset at 138.1 FPS is the best match, as it delivers maximum visual quality while staying above the refresh threshold. For 240Hz displays, the High preset at 148.1 FPS is sufficient, though the Medium preset at 236 FPS is the only option that approaches saturating a 240Hz panel. The Low preset at 294.4 FPS is only necessary for extreme competitive play, which is unlikely in a puzzle platformer. The data suggests that the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate across all resolutions, with the 4K High configuration at 64.6 FPS being the only scenario that falls below the 100 FPS mark—still perfectly playable for this genre.
