GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is the primary driver of frame rate in this puzzle platformer, and its memory configuration plays a significant role in the results. The GPU features 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. This memory subsystem is substantial for a game like Inside, which relies on streaming environments and particle effects. The benchmark data shows that even at 4K with High settings, the memory bandwidth is sufficient to maintain a playable 54 FPS average.

Clock speeds are uniform for this GPU, with a base and boost clock of 2500 MHz. This consistent clock speed, paired with 2304 shading units and 144 texture mapping units, allows the card to handle the game's side-scrolling visuals efficiently. The GPU's 80 ROPs output a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s, which contributes to the high frame rates observed at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average FPS hits 240, indicating that the GPU's pixel throughput is not a constraint at that level.

The data confirms that the Arc B570 is well-suited for this title's graphical demands. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2649 suggests a moderate level of raw performance, yet the measured FPS in Inside far exceeds what that score might imply. This indicates that the game's art style and rendering techniques are not overly taxing on the GPU's compute resources. The 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is more than enough for the lighting and shadow computations required by the game's atmospheric presentation.

The GPU's 10 GB frame buffer prevents any memory capacity bottlenecks at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 52. While this is the lowest score recorded, it is not a sign of memory pressure but rather the expected scaling of shader complexity at higher resolutions. The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556, places it in a competitive position, particularly when considering its performance against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which it trails by only 0.1%.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound performance. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 120 at 1920x1080 to 86 at 2560x1440, and further to 54 at 3840x2160. This represents a 55% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, which is a classic indicator that the Intel Arc B570's rendering capabilities are the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

The scaling is consistent across all settings presets. With Medium settings, the average FPS goes from 192 at 1080p to 138 at 1440p and 87 at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 37%, which is slightly less severe than the 55% drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings, but still shows a significant load increase. At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced, with 240 FPS at 1080p dropping to 172 at 1440p and 108 at 4K.

These numbers suggest that while the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity become the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The 4K results, particularly the 52 FPS average at Ultra, indicate that the GPU is nearing its limits. The difference between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings (240 vs 172 FPS) shows a 28% drop, which is less than the 37% drop seen from 1440p to 4K, implying that the GPU's memory bandwidth begins to constrain performance more severely at 4K.

The data points to the GPU being the primary limiting component across all resolutions. Even at 1080p, where the CPU could potentially become a factor, the FPS remains high enough to suggest the GPU is still doing the heavy lifting. The 240 FPS cap at 1080p Low is likely a frame rate limit rather than a CPU bottleneck, as the Ryzen 7 5700G has ample multi-threaded performance. For users targeting 4K, the Medium preset offers the best balance, delivering 87 FPS average with a minimum of 74 FPS, which is smoother than the High preset's 54 FPS average.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all presets. The Low preset achieves an average of 240 FPS, which is the highest recorded for this combination. Medium settings yield 192 FPS average, with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 221 FPS, ensuring a fluid experience. High settings drop to 120 FPS average, still well above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset produces 114 FPS average, showing that even the most demanding settings at 1080p are easily handled.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a clear step down. Low settings produce 172 FPS average, while Medium settings achieve 138 FPS average with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS. High settings yield 86 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 82 FPS average. These numbers indicate that 1440p is a comfortable resolution for this combo, with even the Ultra preset maintaining a playable frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to feel the pressure. Low settings still deliver a smooth 108 FPS average, which is impressive for 4K. Medium settings produce 87 FPS average, with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS, making it the recommended preset for 4K gaming. High settings drop to 54 FPS average, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The Ultra preset yields 52 FPS average, the lowest recorded, indicating that 4K Ultra is not a feasible option for this combo.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the Medium preset provides the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Medium and Ultra is 78 FPS (192 vs 114), which is significant, but Medium still offers a highly responsive experience. At 4K, the difference between Medium and High is 33 FPS (87 vs 54), making Medium the clear choice for maintaining a stable frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2301 out of 2887 tested combinations places it in the lower-middle tier of all tested systems for Inside. This ranking is somewhat surprising given the high frame rates measured, but it reflects the fact that many other combinations, likely with higher-end GPUs, achieve even higher FPS. The rank indicates that while this combo is capable of running Inside smoothly, it does not stand out among the broader field of tested hardware.

The rank is influenced by the GPU's overall performance percentile of 65, which suggests that the Arc B570 is a mid-range card. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking is stronger, but the GPU's performance is the limiting factor in this game. The deltaPct values for the GPU's nearest rivals show that the Arc B570 is closely matched with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% delta) and the Intel Arc A750 (-0.1% delta), meaning that any of these GPUs would place the combo in a similar rank position.

For the CPU, the Ryzen 7 5700G's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K (-0.2% delta) and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (0.4% delta), indicating that the CPU is competitive with these parts. However, the combo's rank of 2301 suggests that the GPU's performance is what separates this combo from higher-ranked systems. In the context of Inside, the rank implies that there are 2300 other combinations that deliver higher frame rates, likely due to more powerful GPUs.

The rank position also highlights that this combo is not optimized for maximum performance in this game, but rather offers a balanced experience. The measured FPS at 1080p and 1440p are all above 82 FPS, which is excellent for gameplay, but the 4K results are less impressive. The rank of 2301 out of 2887 means that this combo sits in the 80th percentile of measured combos, meaning that 80% of tested systems perform better in Inside.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G plays a supporting role in this combo's performance in Inside. With 8 cores and 16 threads, the CPU provides ample multi-threaded processing power, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12830.5 points. The base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz ensure that the CPU can handle the game's physics and logic calculations without becoming a bottleneck.

The CPU's 3DMark scores show strong scaling from 2 threads (1758) to 8 threads (5648), and the max threads score of 6627 is only slightly lower than the 16-thread score of 6629. This indicates that the CPU's Zen 3 architecture efficiently utilizes its cores. For a game like Inside, which is not heavily multithreaded, the CPU's single-thread performance is more relevant. The 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1494 demonstrate solid single-thread capabilities.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, provided by dual-channel DDR4, is sufficient for feeding the GPU. In the context of the measured FPS, the CPU does not appear to be a limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the 240 FPS average suggests that the CPU can handle the game's update loop at very high frame rates. Even at 4K, where the GPU is the bottleneck, the CPU's performance is adequate.

The CPU's percentile rank of 79 places it above the majority of CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 27051 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i9-9900K's 27097 (-0.2% delta). This indicates that the CPU is a high-performing part for its generation. However, in this specific combo, the CPU's role is to provide a stable foundation for the GPU. The benchmark data shows that the CPU is never the limiting component in Inside, as the GPU consistently shows signs of being the primary constraint as resolution increases.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best experience across all resolutions for this combo. At 1080p, Medium delivers 192 FPS average, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay, and the minimum of 163 FPS ensures no noticeable stutters. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 114 FPS average, but the visual fidelity improvement over Medium is not worth the 40% reduction in frame rate.

At 1440p, Medium is again the recommended choice, with 138 FPS average and a minimum of 117 FPS. This provides a fluid experience that is well above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 1440p produces 86 FPS average, which is still playable, but Medium offers a 60% higher frame rate. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 82 FPS average, making it a less attractive option.

At 4K, the Medium preset is the only viable option for maintaining a comfortable frame rate. It achieves 87 FPS average with a minimum of 74 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS target for most users. The Low preset at 4K produces 108 FPS average, but the visual quality reduction is noticeable. The High preset at 4K drops to 54 FPS average, which is below the preferred 60 FPS for many players, and the Ultra preset at 52 FPS average is not recommended.

The data suggests that the Medium preset provides the optimal balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. It is the only preset that maintains an average FPS above 60 at 4K while still offering a reasonable level of graphical detail. At lower resolutions, Medium offers a significant performance headroom that can accommodate any potential frame rate drops during intense gameplay moments. For users with high refresh rate monitors at 1080p, the Low preset's 240 FPS average is the best option to maximize frame rate, but for a more balanced experience, Medium is the clear winner.
