How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark data positions this AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT combination at rank 369 out of 1671 tested configs. This ranking places the system in the 78th percentile of all tested combos. The CPU's individual percentile against all CPUs is 83, while the GPU sits at an 82nd percentile against all GPUs, indicating a well-matched pair. The near-identical average benchmark scores of the CPU and its closest rivals—the Intel Core i9-11900KF (0.1% delta) and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (-0.2% delta)—suggest that the processor is not a bottleneck in this pairing. Similarly, the GPU's closest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile, shows a 0% delta in average score, meaning the RX 7900 XT's performance is directly comparable to that mobile part in synthetic tests.

When examining the in-game results, the high ranking is justified. The combination of a strong 8-core Zen 3 processor and a high-end RDNA 3.0 GPU ensures that the game's logic and rendering are handled without strain. The data shows that the system is consistently capable of producing frame rates that are multiples of the 60 FPS standard, even at 4K resolution. The fact that the 4K Ultra setting still yields over 100 FPS reflects the headroom this combo provides. The rank is not at the absolute top, but within the top quarter of all systems, indicating that there are more powerful configurations, but this one is far above the average gaming setup.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT plays a central role in determining the frame rates observed in Inside. Its specifications include a boost clock of 2394 MHz and a game clock of 2025 MHz. The card is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture and features 5376 shading units. The GPU's memory subsystem is substantial, with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, providing 800.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This configuration is more than adequate for a game released in 2016, and the benchmark results confirm that the GPU is not constrained by memory bandwidth or capacity.

The performance scaling with settings changes is a clear indicator of the GPU's workload. For instance, at 2560x1440, lowering the settings from High to Low increases the average frame rate from 179.7 FPS to 279 FPS. This 55% increase in performance shows that the GPU is actively processing more visual effects and geometry at higher presets, and its powerful compute capabilities (51.48 TFLOPS FP32) allow it to handle these tasks at very high speeds. The GPU's high pixel rate of 459.6 GPixel/s is also a factor in its ability to maintain high frame rates at 4K resolution. The data indicates that the GPU's performance headroom is so large that the CPU is rarely the limiting factor, allowing the graphics card to operate at its full potential.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the system's performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are consistently high, starting at 308.2 FPS on Low and scaling down to 237.2 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset yields 287.2 FPS, while High produces 240.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 71 FPS, showing a 23% performance drop for maximum visual fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust. The Low preset delivers an average of 279 FPS, which is the highest score for this resolution. The Medium preset follows at 257.8 FPS, and High at 179.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces an average of 167.7 FPS. This resolution shows a more significant drop from Low to Ultra, a 40% decrease, as the GPU's pixel throughput becomes more demanding.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers excellent performance, though the scaling is more pronounced. The Low preset averages 224.5 FPS, while Medium averages 176.8 FPS. High settings yield 113.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 105.1 FPS. The difference between the lowest and highest settings at 4K is 119.4 FPS, a 53% reduction. Despite this, even the most demanding 4K Ultra preset remains well above the 60 FPS threshold, ensuring a fluid experience. The data shows a clear pattern: the system is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, and remains highly playable at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings depend on the user's display and preference for frame rate versus visual quality. For users with a 1920x1080 monitor with a 240 Hz refresh rate, the High preset, which averages 240.6 FPS, is the recommended choice. It provides a significant improvement in visual fidelity over Medium (287.2 FPS) while still keeping the average frame rate above the 240 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 237.2 FPS is also an option, but the marginal visual gain may not be worth the potential for slight dips below the maximum refresh rate.

For 2560x1440 displays, the Medium preset offers an excellent balance, with an average of 257.8 FPS. This provides a smooth experience on most high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The High preset at 179.7 FPS is also suitable for 144 Hz displays, offering better image quality. The Ultra preset at 167.7 FPS is perfectly playable and provides the highest visual quality, making it a good choice for users prioritizing graphics over achieving maximum frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the best recommendation for a 120 Hz display, as it averages 113.8 FPS. For users with a 60 Hz 4K monitor, the Ultra preset at 105.1 FPS is the best option, as it delivers the maximum visual quality while still providing a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset at 176.8 FPS is a strong alternative for 4K users who prefer higher frame rates for smoother motion, but the visual difference between Medium and High is often more noticeable at this resolution. The data suggests that the High preset at 4K provides the best compromise between visual fidelity and the high frame rate headroom that this hardware is capable of delivering.
