Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination produces a benchmark profile that is firmly in the upper tier for Inside, achieving a composite rank of 477 out of 1671 tested combos. This places the pairing in the 71st percentile of all systems evaluated, indicating that while it is not at the absolute apex of performance, it delivers a substantial margin of capability over the majority of the field. The data shows a system that is exceptionally well-matched for this title, with the GPU’s raw power and the CPU’s multi-threaded capacity combining to eliminate any significant bottleneck, a fact made evident by the frame rates observed across all resolution and settings configurations.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 477 out of 1671 combinations is a strong indicator of its overall standing. This percentile placement is not a reflection of a weak component, but rather of the extreme performance ceiling available in the database; the top-ranked systems likely feature higher-end hardware that pushes frame rates into territory where the differences are marginal for a game like Inside. The data suggests that this pairing is in the top 30% of all possible configurations, a position that ensures a fluid and responsive experience. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25626, which sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, is a key contributor here. Its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U with a score of 25706 (a -0.3% delta) and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER with 25532 (a 0.4% delta), show that the 5700G is in a tightly contested performance band for synthetic workloads. However, in the context of this game, the combination’s rank is more heavily influenced by the GPU, which is in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. The synergy is clear: the CPU provides enough headroom to keep the GPU fed, allowing the combo to achieve a rank that is competitive with systems built around significantly more expensive processors.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary driver of the high frame rates observed in Inside. Its architecture, Ada Lovelace, is built on a 5 nm process and features 5888 shading units. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, which provides the computational throughput needed for the game’s 2D side-scrolling visuals, which are deceptively demanding at high resolutions due to their lighting and particle effects. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This is a significant asset, as it prevents any memory-related stuttering even in scenes with complex transparency effects. In the synthetic benchmark suite, the GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 26927 places it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 with a score of 37507 (a -0.6% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A with 38008 (a -1.9% delta), are actually slightly ahead in raw synthetic scores, yet the RTX 4070’s real-world performance in this title is exceptional. The high memory bandwidth and efficient architecture ensure that the GPU is never the limiting factor, allowing it to deliver frame rates that are consistently above the refresh rate of most monitors.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that remains GPU-bound at lower resolutions but begins to show signs of balancing the load as pixel count increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average frame rate is 226.4 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops this to 165.4 FPS, a 27% reduction. At 3840x2160, the frame rate falls further to 102.7 FPS, a 38% reduction from the 1440p figure. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component, as the frame rate scales inversely with the number of pixels. However, the CPU’s role becomes more apparent at the lower resolution. At 1080p, the frame rate of 226.4 FPS is high, but the difference between Low (303.9 FPS) and High (226.4 FPS) settings is only 25%, whereas at 4K, the same settings change yields a 50% difference (206.6 FPS vs 102.7 FPS). This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU’s ability to process draw calls and physics calculations is starting to cap the maximum frame rate, preventing the GPU from fully stretching its legs. At 4K, the GPU’s fill-rate limits become the dominant factor, and the CPU’s headroom is less consequential. The data shows that this is a system that is perfectly balanced for 1440p gaming, where the frame rates are still high enough to be smooth, and the CPU is not holding back the GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a detailed look at the system’s capabilities across all settings. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally fast. With Low settings, it achieves an average of 303.9 FPS, which drops to 280.6 FPS at Medium, 226.4 FPS at High, and 218.7 FPS at Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra is 28%, showing that even at maximum settings, the game remains highly playable on high-refresh-rate displays. At 2560x1440, the performance is still excellent. Low settings yield 269.2 FPS, Medium 248.4 FPS, High 165.4 FPS, and Ultra 157.8 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is significant at 33%, indicating that the High preset introduces a substantial increase in rendering complexity that taxes the GPU. At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable frame rates, but the scaling is more pronounced. Low settings average 206.6 FPS, Medium 164.1 FPS, High 102.7 FPS, and Ultra 96.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 53%, which is a clear indicator that the GPU is working near its limits at 4K. The data shows that for a 4K display, users will need to dial back to High or Medium settings to maintain a consistent 100+ FPS experience, while at 1440p, the system can handle Ultra settings with no compromise.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and 7 nm process node make it a capable partner for the RTX 4070. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 and single-core score of 2930 demonstrate its strength. The multi-threaded performance is particularly relevant for Inside, which, while not a heavily threaded title, does require consistent single-thread performance for game logic and physics. The data shows that the CPU’s single-thread performance, as indicated by a 3DMark single-thread score of 899, is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at most resolutions. The evidence for this is the frame rate scaling discussed earlier. At 1080p, the CPU is able to feed the GPU enough data to reach 303.9 FPS on Low settings, but the incremental gains from lowering settings diminish, suggesting a CPU-imposed limit. At 4K, the CPU’s role is less critical, as the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25626 places it in the 83rd percentile, and its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, is a mobile chip with a similar score, confirming that the 5700G is a strong desktop performer. Its 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier make it a versatile choice, but in this specific game, its 8 cores and 16 threads are more than enough to ensure that the RTX 4070 is never starved for data, allowing the combo to achieve the high frame rates seen in the measured data.
