Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Inside, a puzzle platformer that is far more demanding on the graphics card than on the CPU at higher resolutions. Across all tested settings and resolutions, the combo never drops below 95.9 frames per second (FPS) on average, which means the experience is overwhelmingly smooth. The benchmark data reveals that this pairing is heavily GPU-limited at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU begins to assert its influence, though it still keeps frame rates well above typical refresh rate targets.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial but not linear, and it clearly indicates that the graphics card is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 229 at 1920x1080 to 164 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 65 FPS, and then to 101.3 at 3840x2160, another drop of 62.7 FPS. This pattern holds across all settings, showing that the GPU’s workload scales heavily with pixel count.

The Low settings data provides the clearest view of CPU versus GPU limitation. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo achieves 299.5 FPS, but at 2560x1440 Low it drops to 269.1 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it falls to 207 FPS. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is only 30.4 FPS, suggesting the CPU is holding back performance at the lower resolution, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is 62.1 FPS, indicating the GPU is now the bottleneck. For Ultra settings, the 1080p to 4K drop is from 219.4 to 95.9 FPS, a 123.5 FPS reduction, which confirms that the RX 9070 XT is doing most of the heavy lifting.

At 4K, the scaling from Low to Ultra is particularly informative. Low produces 207 FPS, Medium 167.1 FPS, High 101.3 FPS, and Ultra 95.9 FPS. The massive gap between Medium and High suggests that High settings introduce a significant graphical effect that heavily taxes the GPU. The difference between High and Ultra is relatively small at 5.4 FPS, indicating diminishing returns beyond High. Overall, resolution scaling shows that this combo is well-suited for 1440p and even 4K gaming, with the GPU being the dominant factor above 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark scores are respectable but not top-tier: it achieves a multi-core score of 20,755 in Cinebench R23 and a single-core score of 2,930 in the same test. In Geekbench, it scores 8,970 multi-core and 2,016 single-core. The processor’s percentile versus all CPUs is 83, placing it above the majority of tested processors.

In Inside, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p Low settings, where the average FPS of 299.5 is the highest recorded for this combo. This suggests the CPU is capable of driving the game well past 300 FPS if the GPU were not involved. However, at 1080p Medium, the FPS drops to 278.7, and at High it falls to 229, which shows that GPU load increases with settings even at the same resolution. The 5700G’s 16 threads are more than sufficient for a puzzle platformer, which likely uses only a few cores, so the single-thread performance of 2,930 in Cinebench R23 is the more relevant metric.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in overall benchmark scores include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores 25,706 with a delta of -0.3%, and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER at 25,532 with a delta of 0.4%. The 5700G’s average benchmark score of 25,626 is nearly identical to these, meaning its general compute capability is competitive. For Inside, the data shows that the CPU is not a limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the FPS differences between 1080p and 1440p at Ultra settings are only 62.2 FPS (from 219.4 to 157.2), which is largely attributable to the GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a complete picture of performance. At 1920x1080, Low settings deliver 299.5 FPS, Medium delivers 278.7 FPS, High delivers 229 FPS, and Ultra delivers 219.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a gradual decline, with the largest single step being from Medium to High at 49.7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low 269.1 FPS, Medium 250.3 FPS, High 164 FPS, and Ultra 157.2 FPS. The drop from Medium to High at this resolution is 86.3 FPS, which is the largest settings-based drop in the entire dataset. This suggests that High settings enable a rendering feature that is particularly demanding on the RX 9070 XT.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low 207 FPS, Medium 167.1 FPS, High 101.3 FPS, and Ultra 95.9 FPS. Here, the gap from Medium to High is 65.8 FPS, again confirming that High settings impose a heavy GPU load. The Ultra preset only costs 5.4 FPS over High at 4K, which is the smallest difference between any two consecutive settings at any resolution. Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: Low and Medium are relatively close, High causes a substantial drop, and Ultra adds minimal additional cost over High.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is a powerful graphics card built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture, featuring 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with a bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s. Its boost clock is 2970 MHz, and it has 4,096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 128 render output units. The GPU’s benchmark scores are strong: it achieves 26,795 in Passmark G3D and 7,260 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Its percentile versus all GPUs is 82, indicating it outperforms most graphics cards.

In Inside, the GPU’s role is dominant at nearly every resolution and setting. The 4K Low result of 207 FPS shows that the card can handle even the highest pixel counts with ease, while the 1080p Low result of 299.5 FPS is likely limited by the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU. The GPU’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon Pro 575 at 39,703 (delta -0.1%) and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile at 39,568 (delta 0.2%), but the RX 9070 XT’s score of 39,647 is far above these in real-world gaming due to its modern architecture.

The data shows that the RX 9070 XT’s 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for Inside, as the game is not memory-heavy. The card’s high pixel rate of 380.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 760.3 GTexel/s contribute to its ability to maintain high FPS even at 4K Ultra, where it still averages 95.9 FPS. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 48.66 TFLOPS provides ample compute headroom for this puzzle platformer, which does not stress the card’s capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo depends on the display’s refresh rate. At 1920x1080, all settings exceed 219 FPS, so players with 240 Hz displays can use Ultra settings and still stay close to the refresh ceiling. For 1440p displays, Ultra settings yield 157.2 FPS, which is ideal for 144 Hz panels, while High settings at 164 FPS offer a negligible difference and could be used for slightly lower GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation is more nuanced. High settings produce 101.3 FPS, which is suitable for 100 Hz displays, while Ultra drops to 95.9 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is only 5.4 FPS, so Ultra is viable for 60 Hz or 120 Hz displays that can tolerate slightly lower frame rates. Medium settings at 4K deliver 167.1 FPS, which is overkill for most 4K displays but could be used for maximum smoothness on high refresh rate monitors.

The data indicates that Low settings are rarely necessary, as even 4K Ultra stays above 90 FPS. For most users, the Medium preset offers the best balance at 1080p and 1440p, with 278.7 FPS and 250.3 FPS respectively. At 4K, High is the recommended middle ground, as it provides 101.3 FPS without the minor extra load of Ultra. The biggest performance cliff occurs between Medium and High at all resolutions, so players who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity should stick with Medium.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT combination ranks 482 out of 1,671 tested combos in Inside, placing it in the 71st percentile of all configurations. This is a strong showing, though not a top-tier ranking, which is expected given that the CPU is a mid-range part from 2021 while the GPU is a high-end card from 2025. The ranking suggests that many combos with newer, faster CPUs achieve higher frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU matters more.

The CPU’s percentile of 83 against all CPUs and the GPU’s percentile of 82 against all GPUs are both solid, but the combo’s rank of 482 indicates that other pairings with more balanced components outperform it. For example, a newer CPU with similar GPU performance would likely rank higher due to better single-thread performance. The measured data confirms that the combo is GPU-bound at 4K, so the ranking gap is likely due to CPU limitations at 1080p, where the 5700G’s single-core score of 2,930 in Cinebench R23 may not be as high as newer rivals.

Despite the mid-pack ranking, the actual gameplay experience is excellent, as the minimum average FPS across all tested configurations is 95.9. The combo’s rank of 482 out of 1,671 means it outperforms roughly 71% of all tested combinations, which is a commendable result for a processor that is several generations old. For players using this pairing, the benchmark data shows that it can handle Inside at high refresh rates and resolutions with no compromises, even if it does not top the charts.
