Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti delivers exceptional performance in Inside, a 2016 puzzle platformer. The data shows this combination is heavily GPU-limited at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides ample headroom for high refresh-rate gaming at 1080p. Across all tested settings, this combo maintains frame rates well above 60 FPS, making it a formidable choice for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and clearly reveals the GPU as the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 299.7 FPS at 1920x1080 to 179.7 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a 40% reduction in throughput. This scaling pattern intensifies at higher quality presets; moving from 1080p to 4K on High settings sees the average drop from 198.7 FPS to 90.6 FPS, a 54% decline.

The data indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti’s rendering capacity is the limiting factor at 4K, particularly with Ultra settings where the average dips to 87.7 FPS. Conversely, at 1440p, the scaling is more forgiving, with the High preset delivering 141.8 FPS compared to 198.7 FPS at 1080p. This suggests that 1440p offers a strong balance, keeping frame rates comfortably high while leveraging more of the GPU’s capabilities. The 1080p results, especially at Low and Medium settings, show frame rates near or above 300 FPS, indicating that the CPU may become a secondary constraint only at those extreme output levels.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, provides a robust foundation for Inside’s gameplay. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz ensure responsive single-threaded performance, which is critical for a puzzle platformer’s physics and logic. The benchmark scores support this: the processor achieves a 3dmark single-thread score of 899 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930.

Multi-threaded performance is also strong, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 and a 3dmark max-threads score of 6627. In Inside, which is not a demanding multi-threaded title, this headroom means the CPU is rarely a bottleneck. The data shows that even at 1080p Low settings, where the GPU has the least work, the average frame rate of 299.7 FPS is likely approaching the engine’s or the CPU’s practical limit, but it remains sufficient for any display. The Ryzen 7 5700G ranks in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (deltaPct -0.3) and Intel Xeon D-2752TER (deltaPct 0.4), indicating it is well-positioned for this task.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is the dominant factor in determining Inside’s frame rates. With 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus providing 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth, the card has ample resources for this game’s visual effects. Its boost clock of 1770 MHz and 6144 shading units deliver the raw compute power, rated at 21.75 TFLOPS FP32, which translates directly into the high pixel throughput observed.

The GPU’s role becomes clear when examining the resolution scaling. At 4K Ultra, the average frame rate drops to 87.7 FPS, a significant reduction from the 187.8 FPS at 1080p Ultra. This 53% performance hit demonstrates that the RTX 3070 Ti is fully engaged at 4K, with its 8 GB memory buffer and processing cores being the limiting resource. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 23356 places it in the 74th percentile, with nearest rivals including the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME (deltaPct 0.3) and AMD Radeon RX 6700 (deltaPct -0.8). For Inside, the RTX 3070 Ti ensures that even the most demanding settings remain playable, though its end-of-life production status suggests this level of performance is now a baseline for modern titles.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance: Low settings average 299.7 FPS, Medium 277.6 FPS, High 198.7 FPS, and Ultra 187.8 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of driving high-refresh-rate monitors with ease, even on the most demanding preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages remain very high: Low settings achieve 268 FPS, Medium 228 FPS, High 141.8 FPS, and Ultra 138.9 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is most pronounced at High settings, where the average falls by 28.6%, but the absolute values remain far above the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the performance is still solid: Low settings average 179.7 FPS, Medium 146.6 FPS, High 90.6 FPS, and Ultra 87.7 FPS. The 4K High and Ultra presets are the only configurations that dip below 100 FPS, but they still provide smooth gameplay. The data shows that the RTX 3070 Ti can handle 4K in Inside, though users seeking maximum visual quality will need to accept frame rates in the 80-90 FPS range.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 1671 tested combinations in this benchmark database, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combination ranks 647th. This places it in the upper third of all systems tested, which is a strong showing given the age of the components. The rank reflects a balance between the CPU’s 83rd percentile performance and the GPU’s 74th percentile standing.

The combo’s position suggests that many newer or more powerful pairings outperform it, but for Inside, the actual frame rates are what matter most. The data shows that this combo delivers playable performance at all resolutions, with 4K Ultra being the only setting that falls below 90 FPS. In the context of the benchmark database, a rank of 647 out of 1671 indicates that while this is not a top-tier combo, it is far from the bottom, and its real-world performance in this specific game is excellent. The GPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700, is only 0.8% faster in average benchmark score, suggesting that this config is closely matched with other mid-range options.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data suggests prioritizing a balance between visual quality and frame rate. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 187.8 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays and represents the best visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. If aiming for the absolute highest frame rates, the Low preset at 299.7 FPS is unnecessary for most users, but the Medium preset at 277.6 FPS offers a good compromise.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the recommended choice, providing 141.8 FPS with strong visual quality. The Ultra preset at 138.9 FPS is nearly identical in performance, so users can choose either based on preference. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 146.6 FPS is the best option for maintaining high frame rates, while High at 90.6 FPS and Ultra at 87.7 FPS are still playable but may be less consistent on 120 Hz or higher refresh rate displays. The Low presets across all resolutions offer the highest FPS but sacrifice visual effects that are integral to Inside’s atmosphere, so they are not recommended for a first playthrough.
