Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is a solid mid-range combination for Inside, a Puzzle Platformer from 2016. The data shows this combo ranks 1076th out of 1671 tested combinations in this game, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. This rank reflects a system that delivers smooth, high-refresh-rate gameplay at 1080p and remains highly playable at 1440p. The benchmark results indicate that the pairing is well-balanced for this title, with the GPU becoming the primary limiting factor as resolution increases, though the CPU provides ample headroom for the game's physics and logic.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame data places this specific CPU-GPU pairing at 1076 out of 1671 tested combos. This percentile position suggests that while it is not a top-tier enthusiast setup, it sits comfortably above the median, outperforming roughly 35% of all recorded configurations. The ranking is a composite of the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance and the GPU's capable 1080p and 1440p throughput. For a title like Inside, which is not graphically demanding by modern standards, this rank indicates that the system will rarely be the bottleneck for achieving high frame rates. The data shows this is a dependable choice for a smooth experience, though it will not top leaderboards against systems with significantly more powerful components.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform and features a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This CPU is built on a 7 nm process from TSMC, with a 65 W TDP, making it an efficient powerhouse for gaming.

For Inside, the CPU's role is primarily to handle game logic, physics calculations, and the rendering thread overhead. The benchmark data shows this processor is highly capable in multi-threaded scenarios, scoring 22620 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 9500 in Cinebench R20 multi-core. Its single-thread performance is also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3193, which is crucial for games that rely heavily on a single primary thread. The CPU's 16 threads ensure that any background tasks or engine-level parallelism are handled without causing frame drops. In the context of this game, the 5700X provides far more computational headroom than Inside requires, meaning the processor will not be the limiting factor at any tested resolution. Its performance is effectively a non-issue, as the data shows it ranks in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26214. It is closely matched with rivals like the Intel Core i9-11900KF, which scores 26196 (a 0.1% difference), confirming that the 5700X is a top-tier gaming CPU.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is a member of the Radeon RX 6000 series, based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture and the Navi 23 chip. It comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 280.3 GB/s. The GPU's game clock is rated at 2410 MHz, with a boost clock of 2635 MHz. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and has 2048 shading units.

In Inside, the GPU is the component that scales most directly with resolution and graphical settings. The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p with High settings, the card delivers 148.3 FPS, which is more than enough for a smooth experience. At 4K with High settings, it drops to 64.1 FPS, indicating the GPU is working harder to fill the increased pixel count. The card's performance is consistent with its position in the market, ranking in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 29024. Its closest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, scores 29011, a negligible 0% difference, suggesting the 6650 XT is a strong performer in its class. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for Inside, which is not a VRAM-intensive title, ensuring no texture thrashing at 4K. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rate at higher resolutions, while at 1080p it has enough headroom to push very high frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with High settings, the combo achieves 148.3 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the frame rate drops to 105.3 FPS, a reduction of roughly 29%. At 4K High, the average FPS falls to 64.1 FPS, which is a 57% drop from the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

The data shows a similar trend at Ultra settings, where frame rates go from 141.7 FPS at 1080p to 98.6 FPS at 1440p and 62 FPS at 4K. The scaling is nearly linear with the pixel count, confirming that the RX 6650 XT's rendering throughput is the primary constraint. In contrast, the CPU's performance remains constant across resolutions, as its workload does not change with pixel count. This indicates that for Inside, users targeting 4K should expect playable but not high-refresh-rate performance, while 1080p and 1440p users will enjoy excellent frame times. The data strongly suggests that the GPU is the bottleneck at 4K, while the CPU has more than enough capability to feed the GPU at all settings.
