Inside

Inside is not the kind of title that typically stresses a modern flagship GPU, yet the measured results for this AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti pairing reveal a fascinating bottleneck dynamic. The data shows a system capable of extreme frame rates, but the shape of those numbers tells a story about where the workload actually lives.

FAQ

Q: What is the combo's overall rank among tested systems for Inside?

A: This combination ranks 359th out of 1671 tested combos, placing it in the top 21.5% of all systems benchmarked for this game.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals in average benchmark score?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G scores 25626 on average, which is 0.3% below the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (25706), 0.4% above the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25532), and 0.5% above the Intel Core 5 210H (25490). The differences are negligible.

Q: What is the GPU's standing relative to other graphics cards?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti sits at the 85th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 44900 is 0.6% lower than the GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile and 1.5% lower than the Intel Arc A730M, but 1.6% higher than the AMD Radeon Pro 580.

Q: What is the maximum average FPS recorded at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system reaches an average of 298.3 FPS. This is the highest average frame rate across all tested configurations.

Q: Does the integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics on the CPU affect the discrete GPU's performance?

A: No measurable impact appears in the data. The iGPU is present on the 5700G, but all measured FPS figures come from the discrete RTX 4070 Ti, and the results show the discrete card operating as expected.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, Low settings yield 233.7 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 114.6 FPS. That is a 119.1 FPS reduction, or roughly half the performance, when moving from the lowest to highest quality preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The 359th position out of 1671 combos is a strong result, but the percentile context matters more than the raw rank. With 1671 total combinations tested, this system sits comfortably in the upper quartile. The data suggests that for a puzzle platformer like Inside, the combination of an 8-core Zen 3 processor and an Ada Lovelace GPU is more than sufficient. The rank reflects the fact that many competing combos likely pair even newer high-end CPUs with similar GPUs, yet the 5700G holds its ground.

What is curious is the gap between the CPU's percentile (83rd among all CPUs) and the GPU's percentile (85th among all GPUs). They are closely matched in relative standing, which explains why the combo does not rank higher. Neither component is dramatically overqualified for the other, so the system performs as a balanced unit. The average benchmark scores reinforce this: the CPU's 25626 average is nearly identical to the GPU's 44900 when normalized to their respective pools. The rank of 359 suggests that roughly 21% of tested systems outperform this one, likely due to newer CPU architectures or higher-end GPUs like the RTX 5090 Mobile that appears in the GPU's rival list.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. For a game like Inside, which has a minimalist art style, this bandwidth is far beyond what the title requires. The boost clock of 2610 MHz and base clock of 2310 MHz provide the raw compute headroom, but the measured FPS indicates the GPU is often waiting on the CPU rather than the reverse.

At 1080p Low, the system hits 298.3 FPS average. The GPU is capable of far more, but the frame rate ceiling appears to be imposed by the processor's single-thread performance. The 5700G's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930 and 3DMark single-thread score of 899 are respectable but not class-leading. The GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is effectively underutilized in this title. The VRAM footprint is trivial for Inside, so the 12 GB capacity is irrelevant here. The data shows the GPU's role is to render a simple 2D side-scroller at absurdly high frame rates, which it does without breaking a sweat, leaving the CPU as the primary limiter at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the progression from Low to Ultra is: 298.3, 276.3 (Medium), 229.3 (High), and 230.3 (Ultra) FPS average. The jump from Low to Medium costs 22 FPS, while High to Ultra is nearly identical at 229.3 vs 230.3 — an anomaly worth noting. The Ultra preset actually scores 1 FPS higher than High, which suggests either a measurement quirk or that the High preset has a specific setting that is more demanding than Ultra's equivalent.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 266.4 (Low), 248.8 (Medium), 195.0 (High), and 185.4 (Ultra). The drop from Medium to High is 53.8 FPS, the largest single-step decline at this resolution. At 3840x2160, the numbers fall to 233.7 (Low), 196.5 (Medium), 119.5 (High), and 114.6 (Ultra). The 4K Ultra result is the lowest recorded, but still above 114 FPS, which is well beyond playable for this genre. The pattern across all resolutions shows that Low and Medium settings are CPU-bound, while High and Ultra introduce enough GPU workload to shift the balance.

Settings Recommendations

The data points to a clear sweet spot: Medium settings. At 1080p Medium, the system delivers 276.3 FPS average, which is 93% of the Low preset's performance. At 1440p Medium, the average is 248.8 FPS, and even at 4K Medium, the system holds 196.5 FPS. These numbers suggest that Medium provides near-maximum frame rates while likely improving visual quality over Low. The difference between Medium and High is more pronounced: at 4K, going from Medium to High costs 77 FPS (196.5 to 119.5), a 39% reduction. That is a steep price for incremental visual gains in a game with such simple geometry.

For competitive or high-refresh-rate play, Low at 1080p is the obvious choice at 298.3 FPS. But for a puzzle platformer, the extra frames beyond 200 are imperceptible. The measured data indicates that Medium at 1440p offers the best balance: 248.8 FPS average with settings that likely smooth out any visual aliasing. Ultra should be avoided; it provides no measurable benefit over High at 1080p (230.3 vs 229.3) and actively hurts performance at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support are standard for the AM4 platform. For Inside, the multi-threaded capabilities are largely irrelevant; this game does not scale with 16 threads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 shows strong all-core performance, but the single-core score of 2930 is what matters here.

The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1758 and single-thread score of 899 reveal the CPU's performance ceiling. At 1080p Low, the system hits 298.3 FPS, but this appears to be the CPU limit. The GPU could push higher, but the processor cannot feed it fast enough. This is evident from the 4K Low result of 233.7 FPS — the GPU is still not fully utilized even at 4K. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking confirms it is a solid mid-range processor, but for a game this lightweight, the 5700G's single-thread performance becomes the limiting factor. The 65W TDP and 7nm process node keep it efficient, but efficiency does not translate to higher frame rates in this scenario.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K tells a clear story about the limiting component. At Low settings, the drop is 298.3 to 233.7 FPS, a 21.6% reduction when moving from 1080p to 4K. This is a modest decline, indicating that the GPU has ample headroom and the CPU is the primary constraint. At Ultra settings, the drop is 230.3 to 114.6 FPS, a 50.2% reduction — a much steeper curve that shows the GPU becoming the bottleneck as the workload increases.

The crossover point is visible around Medium to High settings. At Medium, the 1080p to 4K drop is 276.3 to 196.5 FPS (28.9% reduction). At High, it is 229.3 to 119.5 FPS (47.9% reduction). This pattern suggests that Low and Medium are CPU-limited, while High and Ultra shift the burden to the GPU. The 4K Ultra result of 114.6 FPS is still highly playable, but the 50% drop from 1080p Ultra indicates the RTX 4070 Ti is finally being stressed. For a game like Inside, the resolution scaling data implies that players with 4K displays can comfortably use Medium settings and still exceed 190 FPS, while 1080p users are wasting potential by not using higher settings. The CPU is the ceiling at lower resolutions, and the GPU only becomes the limiting factor at 4K with High or Ultra presets.
