Inside

The combination of an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER occupies a solidly high position in the database for Inside. With a measured-frame-rate ranking of 425th out of 3,716 tested combos, this pairing sits in the top tier of results for this title. Both components individually score well in general benchmarks: the CPU holds the 87th percentile among all processors, and the GPU takes the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. The data shows that this system can deliver very high frame rates even at 4K resolution, confirming that the hardware is more than capable of handling the game's low system demands.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured data places this combo at rank 425 out of 3,716 total combinations tested in the Inside database, meaning it outperforms roughly 88% of all logged pairings. The Ryzen 7 7700's average benchmark score is 40,081, with a cumulative percentile of 87 across all CPUs. That places it in a tight cluster of similarly performing parts: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (score 40,048, delta +0.1%), the Intel Core 5 221E (40,144, delta -0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 9 270 (40,246, delta -0.4%), and the Intel Core i9-13905H (40,313, delta -0.6%). The delta percentage values are all within a single percent, so the CPU sits in a bandwidth where no single part dominates.

On the graphics side, the RTX 4070 SUPER posts an average benchmark score of 43,223 and a percentile of 83 against all GPUs. Its closest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (score 43,262, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43,301, delta -0.2%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43,667, delta -1%). Again, the deltas show that the GPU is within roughly 1% of these other high-end parts, so the performance tier is consistent across the range.

The combination of an above-80th percentile CPU and an above-80th percentile GPU yields practical results that reflect that ranking: in the measured settings, the system never falls below 110 frames per second at 4K Ultra, and at 1080p Ultra it exceeds 244. This performance puts the combo at #425 out of 3,716 - not a top-5 result, but clearly far above the median, which indicates a well-balanced set of components for this title.

FAQ

*Q: What is the highest average FPS measured for this combo in Inside?*

A: The highest recorded average is 371 frames per second, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings.

Q: How does the combo perform at 4K resolution?

A: At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 110 (Ultra) to 231 (Low). The High preset yields 116 average, Medium 185, and Low 231.

Q: Are there any settings that produce a minimum FPS above 300?

A: Yes, at 1920x1080 on Medium settings, the minimum FPS is 291, and the average is 343, with a maximum of 394. At 2560x1440 on Medium, the minimum is 250, average 294, and maximum 338.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU appear to be the limiting factor at high resolutions?

A: The CPU's single-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1930) and multi-core scores (R23 multi-core 18760) place it well ahead of typical game demands. Since the game is a puzzle-platformer with inherently low graphical load, the FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K follows the same trend for all settings, with no sign of a CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions: 1080p High delivers 256 avg, 1440p 184, and 4K 116.

Q: Are the FPS values the same for all settings?

A: No. The measured FPS table includes four presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. Across resolutions, the order from highest to lowest is Low, Medium, High, Ultra, with the differences shrinking at lower resolution.

Q: Is there any data on minimum and maximum FPS?

A: For the Medium setting at each resolution, the data includes min, average, and max values. At 1920x1080 medium, the min is 291, avg 343, max 394. At 2560x1440, min 250, avg 294, max 338. At 3840x2160, min 157, avg 185, max 213. No min/max values are given for the Low, High, or Ultra presets.

Resolution Scaling

Looking at the High preset, the framerate decreases notably as resolution climbs: at 1920x1080 the average is 256 FPS, at 2560x1440 it drops to 184, and at 3840x2160 it reaches 116. That means halving the pixel count nearly doubles the frame output, a correlation that holds across all presets.

For the Low preset, the scaling is more dramatic: 371 (1080p), 333 (1440p), and 231 (4K). The numbers show that the GPU becomes more demanding as resolution increases, but even at 4K the system outputs more than 200 FPS on Low, which is far beyond standard refresh rates. Medium follows a similar pattern: 343 at 1080p, 294 at 1440p, and 185 at 4K. The Ultra preset yields 244, 175, and 110 across the same resolutions.

The pattern indicates that the limiting component at 1080p and 1440p is unlikely to be the CPU, as the frame counts are extremely high - a sub-10% CPU usage would be expected for a game with only 8 cores thrashed by such low graphical requirements. At 4K Ultra the average 110 is still high enough to cover most displays, but it's the lowest of all measured combinations. The drop from 1080p Ultra (244) to 4K Ultra (110) is a drop of 134 FPS, which is a 57% reduction (edge number we cannot compute, but we can state the raw numbers). The shape of the scalings suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER provides ample GPU headroom from 1080p to 1440p, while at 4K resolution the GPU begins to constrain the framerate considerably.

The fact that the High setting at 4K (116) slightly outperforms Ultra (110) is notable. This could indicate that the Ultra preset includes some additional effects that cost performance relative to the other settings in this particular game. No it is a measurement; we present it as is.

The maximum frame-rate figure at any configuration is 371 FPS, seen at 1080p Low. The lowest measured average is 110 FPS at 4K Ultra. The Medium preset at 1080p offers the highest maximum FPS of any preset: 394. Across all Medium settings, the variance is moderate: the 4K medium has a min of 157 and max of 213, such that the range is 56 FPS. In contrast, the 1080p medium range is 292 to 394, a span of 103 FPS. That spread suggests the game has more performance headroom at lower resolutions, consistent with the GPU not being fully taxed.

All min and max values recorded are only provided for medium settings, so High and Ultra no variability data is available. But the average values alone give a clear ranking of the presets from those that draw most FPS to those that pull most.

Settings Recommendations

With the exception of 4K Ultra, every preset at every resolution exceeds 184 FPS. At 4K, the High preset yields 116 average, Ultra 110, Medium 185, and Low 231. If the goal is the highest visual fidelity possible while maintaining a very high refresh rate, the Medium preset at 4K provides an average of 195 FPS with a minimum of 157 - that is over twice the 110 FPS of Ultra and nearly double the High setting. In fact, Medium appears to be the sweet spot at 4K: it not only outperforms High and Ultra by significant margins but also includes concrete minimum and maximum values (157-213) that ensure a stable experience.

At 1440p, all settings exceed 175 FPS, so any preset is playable. However, the Ultra preset (175) is only slightly behind High (184) but yields the best image quality, and the Medium (294) gives a huge refresh rate headroom. For 1440p the differences are minor, but Medium remains the best overall choice when you want maximum FPS: it sits at 294 average with a minimum of 250, which is above the refresh rate of most 1440p monitors. A user with a 144 Hz display will never encounter screen tear with Medium, while High might dip to lower.

For 1080p, the situation is simpler: all presets are beyond 240 FPS and far above monitor refresh rates. Medium hits 343 with a min of 291, Ultra 244, High 256, and Low 371. If you have a 360 Hz panel, Low or Medium will let you use that refresh potential, but for typical 144 Hz or 240 Hz screens, Ultra is perfectly fine at 244.

In summary, the data suggests that the Medium preset offers the best overall experience across all resolutions due to its combination of high average FPS, known minimum and maximum values, and the fact that it sits well above the 4K High and Ultra results. The only exception is perhaps at 1080p where Low gives 387 avg, but the difference between Low and Medium is only 28 points (343 avg vs 371), which may not be worth the visual cost.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz, and the boost clock reaches 5.30 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. It pairs with the NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER over PCIe 4.0, and its L3 cache is 32 MB (shared). The CPU's average benchmark score is 40,081, putting it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs.

In terms of raw performance, the multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score is 18,760, and the single-core score is 1,930. Passmark’s multi-thread test yields 34,470, and the single-thread result is 4,063. All those numbers are high enough that the processor will not restrict this game at any resolution or preset; the measured FPS ceilings always exceed 110 FPS, and at lower resolutions the CPU is clearly not the limiting factor because the FPS gain as resolution drops is uniform across all settings.

The memory bandwidth of the CPU is 83.2 GB/s, and the system uses DDR5 with dual-channel support. The 8 cores run at a modest base clock but reach 5.30 GHz on boost, giving it plenty of headroom. The IPC of Zen 4 is strong, and the nine benchmarks (e.g., 3DMark 16-thread 8,484, 8-thread 6,933, 4-thread 3,931, and single-thread 1,049) all reflect a chip that can deliver high FPS in any game that is lightly threaded.

Directly measured, the 1920x1080 Low setting yields 371 FPS, a number that far exceeds the refresh rate of any consumer monitor. The fact that the medium settings at 1080p also remain above 250 FPS suggests that the CPU is not being stressed at all. When the resolution is pushed to 4K with Ultra effects, the CPU still provides a floor of 214 FPS per the data? Actually, the lowest average across all settings is 110 for 4K Ultra, which is still nearly twice the common 60 FPS threshold. This indicates that even with top visual quality, the processor is more than enough. A weaker CPU could potentially cause low minimum frames, but the medium min values (157 FPS at 4K Medium) confirm that the combination is stable under pressure.

In the hierarchy of the combo's ranks, the CPU’s closest rivals—the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, Intel Core 5 221E, AMD Ryzen 9 270, and Intel Core i9-13905H—are within 0.6% of its average score. So while the Ryzen 7 7700 is not at the very top of the benchmark heap, it is in the upper echelon for 8-core parts. In Inside, it works alongside the RTX 4070 SUPER to avoid any frame-time bottlenecks, letting the GPU show off its entirely framerates, which are the primary constraint of the game.

In summary, the CPU roles in this game, as the graph indicates, is ensentially a freedom projector: its single-thread throughput and multi-thread scores 188, due to the game's light load, the processor rarely has to drop frames. The measured FPS data strongly suggests a GPU-limited performance at 4K, while at lower resolutions the CPU remains fast enough to allow the GPU to hit extreme frame rates.
