Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a remarkably smooth experience in Inside, a game whose minimalist visuals belie its demanding nature at extreme settings. The measured frame rates across all resolutions and presets are exceptionally high, with the lowest average dip only to 119 FPS at 4K Ultra. This combination ranks in the 72nd percentile of all tested configurations for this title, placing it at rank 1039 out of 3716 combos, a strong showing that indicates the hardware is well-matched to the game’s engine.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear narrative about how resolution impacts performance with this hardware. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are astronomical, ranging from 206 FPS at Ultra to 272 FPS at Low. This indicates that at this resolution, the system has massive headroom, and the frame rate is likely constrained by the game’s engine or a CPU bottleneck, rather than the GPU. The leap from 1080p to 1440p shows a modest but noticeable drop, with the High preset falling from 209 FPS to 187 FPS, a decrease of just over 10%. This relatively small penalty suggests the GPU is still not fully saturated at 1440p.

The scaling becomes more pronounced when moving from 1440p to 4K. At 3840x2160, the High preset drops to 125 FPS, a significant 33% reduction from its 1440p counterpart. This sharp decline indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti’s rendering capabilities are becoming the primary limiting factor at 4K. The pattern is consistent across all presets; for instance, the Low preset drops from 244 FPS at 1440p to 209 FPS at 4K. This behavior is classic for a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where the sheer number of pixels being processed begins to outweigh the CPU’s ability to feed the graphics card. The result is that while 4K is perfectly playable, it is the first resolution where the GPU’s workload becomes the definitive bottleneck, rather than the CPU or engine limits seen at 1080p.

With a combo rank of 1039 out of 3716, it sits comfortably in the upper echelon of performance, outperforming more than 72% of all recorded systems. This is a strong indicator that the hardware synergy is effective for this puzzle platformer, delivering frame rates that far exceed the demands of the gameplay.

The ranking is particularly impressive when considering the CPU’s standing among its peers. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D has a percentile rank of 77 among all CPUs, meaning it is faster than 77% of processors in general benchmarks. Its nearest rivals in overall CPU benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D, which scores only 0.1% higher, and the Intel Core i5-12450HX, which scores 0.5% lower. This shows the CPU is a highly competitive part.

Similarly, the GPU, while ranking in the 86th percentile for all GPUs, has a more varied competitive landscape. Its average benchmark score is 49,957, which is remarkably close to the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, which scores only 0.1% higher. However, it is 2% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and 3.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. This data suggests that while the GPU is powerful, its performance in this game is in line with some older high-end cards, which makes the top-third ranking for this game combo all the more notable. The high frame rates achieved are evidence of the overall system balance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at the system's performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system is clearly CPU-bound. The Low preset yields an average of 272 FPS, which is the highest score recorded. Moving up the quality ladder, the Medium preset averages 251 FPS with a minimum of 213 FPS and a maximum of 289 FPS. The High preset drops slightly to 209 FPS, while the Ultra preset achieves 206 FPS. The small gap between High and Ultra at this resolution reinforces the idea that the CPU is the limiting factor.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more work, and the scaling becomes more linear. The Low preset still produces a high average of 244 FPS. The Medium preset averages 225 FPS (min 191, max 258). The High preset maintains a strong 187 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 184 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is only 3 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's extra effects are not particularly taxing on the GPU.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is fully engaged, and the performance curve reflects its workload. The Low preset delivers an average of 209 FPS, a significant drop from the 244 FPS seen at 1440p. The Medium preset averages 193 FPS (min 164, max 221). The High preset produces a still-smooth 125 FPS, while the Ultra preset brings up the rear with an average of 119 FPS. The data shows that even at the most demanding settings, the system never drops below an average of 119 FPS, ensuring a consistently fluid experience.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the central component in driving the high frame rates seen at 4K in Inside. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s, which is more than sufficient for the game’s textures and assets at any resolution. The GPU’s architecture, Blackwell 2.0 on a 5 nm process, is built for high throughput, and its boost clock of 2452 MHz helps sustain performance. The frame rate scaling from 1440p to 4K clearly shows the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck, with average FPS dropping by approximately 33% across all presets.

The GPU’s raw compute power, measured at 43.94 TFLOPS for FP32 operations, is clearly not being fully taxed at lower resolutions. This is evidenced by the minimal performance delta between the High and Ultra presets at 1080p and 1440p. However, at 4K, the workload increases sufficiently to show a clearer distinction between the presets, with the Ultra preset at 119 FPS trailing the High preset at 125 FPS. This indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is a powerful card that only starts to feel the pressure of rendering at 4K, and even then, it handles the task with ease, maintaining triple-digit frame rates. The GPU’s 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs further supports its high-end status, though its near-tie with the Radeon RX Vega 64 in general benchmarks is an interesting data point.

Settings Recommendations

For this hardware configuration, the benchmark data suggests that the choice of settings is largely a matter of preference, as all presets deliver excellent performance. If the goal is to achieve the absolute highest frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p provides 272 FPS, which is well beyond the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. However, given the game's visual style, the enhancements from higher presets may be desirable.

At 1080p and 1440p, the Ultra preset is the clear recommendation. The performance cost is minimal compared to High, with only a 3 FPS difference at both resolutions (206 vs 209 and 184 vs 187, respectively). This suggests that the extra visual fidelity of the Ultra preset is nearly free at these resolutions, making it the best choice for a premium experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 4K, the High preset offers the best balance. It delivers an average of 125 FPS, which is 6 FPS higher than the Ultra preset’s 119 FPS. While both are well within the playable range, the High preset provides a slight performance headroom that could be beneficial for maintaining a more stable frame time. The Medium preset at 4K is also a viable option, offering 193 FPS, but the visual downgrade from High is likely not worth the extra performance. Therefore, the High preset at 4K is the recommended sweet spot for this combination, providing a flawless experience with only a marginal performance trade-off for maximum quality.
