GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a flagship-class GPU built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB202 chip. It operates at a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The card's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is overkill for Inside's demands but ensures the GPU never becomes a bottleneck in this title.

The GPU's raw compute capabilities are substantial: 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. It delivers 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s. In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5090 D scores 44,065 in Passmark G3D and 14,326 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 77,712, which is 1.1% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904) but 1.6% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940).

In Inside, the GPU's role is to maintain extremely high frame rates even at 4K resolution. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 153, while at 4K Low it jumps to 294 FPS. This indicates that even at the highest settings, the GPU has ample headroom, and the game's simple 2D side-scrolling visuals are not demanding enough to stress the 5090 D's capabilities meaningfully. The GPU's performance scales almost linearly with resolution, suggesting that the card is the primary driver of frame rates in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves a rank of 59 out of 2,887 tested combinations in Inside. This places the system in the top 2.04% of all tested configurations, reflecting the high-end nature of both components. The ranking considers all aspects of performance, including CPU and GPU capabilities, and how they interact in this specific game.

The CPU itself is in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35,909. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (35,802, 0.3% slower), Intel Core 7 250H (35,728, 0.5% slower), AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 (35,719, 0.5% slower), and Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (35,670, 0.7% slower). This shows the 7700X is a well-rounded mid-range-to-high-end CPU that performs within 1% of several competitors.

The GPU is in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904, 1.1% slower), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, 1.6% faster), and two NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants (79,396 and 79,605, 2.1% and 2.4% faster respectively). Despite being a desktop flagship, the RTX 5090 D's average score is surprisingly close to these mobile and data-center parts, though in actual gaming performance, the 5090 D's advantages in VRAM and architecture likely show more prominently.

The 59th rank out of 2,887 combos indicates that while this pairing is exceptionally fast, there are 58 other combinations that outperform it in Inside. These are likely systems with even more powerful CPUs or GPUs, though the margin between them and this combo is probably small given the game's low system requirements.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. With Low settings, the average FPS is 383. Medium settings yield 353 FPS (with a minimum of 300 and maximum of 406 FPS). High settings produce 294 FPS, and Ultra settings result in 290 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 93 FPS (24.3%), showing that the GPU has significant headroom even at the most demanding 1080p settings.

At 2560x1440, frame rates remain very high but show a clear step down. Low settings average 343 FPS, Medium settings average 317 FPS (minimum 269, maximum 364), High settings average 255 FPS, and Ultra settings average 243 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is most pronounced at Low settings (383 to 343 FPS, a 10.4% reduction) and least pronounced at Ultra settings (290 to 243 FPS, a 16.2% reduction).

At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo still delivers playable-to-excellent frame rates. Low settings average 294 FPS, Medium settings average 256 FPS (minimum 218, maximum 295), High settings average 160 FPS, and Ultra settings average 153 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is only 7 FPS (4.4%), suggesting that Ultra settings introduce minimal additional load over High in this game.

The Medium settings at each resolution show the most complete data, with minimum and maximum FPS values recorded. At 1080p Medium, the range is 300-406 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it's 269-364 FPS; and at 4K Medium, it's 218-295 FPS. These ranges indicate consistent frame pacing with no major stutters, even at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the system's bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 383 at 1080p to 343 at 1440p (a 10.4% decrease) and then to 294 at 4K (a 14.3% decrease from 1440p). This totals a 23.2% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings.

At Medium settings, the progression is 353 FPS at 1080p, 317 FPS at 1440p (10.2% decrease), and 256 FPS at 4K (19.2% decrease from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 27.5%.

At High settings, the pattern is 294 FPS at 1080p, 255 FPS at 1440p (13.3% decrease), and 160 FPS at 4K (37.3% decrease from 1440p). The total reduction is 45.6%.

At Ultra settings, the drops are 290 FPS at 1080p, 243 FPS at 1440p (16.2% decrease), and 153 FPS at 4K (37.0% decrease from 1440p). The total reduction is 47.2%.

These scaling patterns indicate that the GPU is the primary limiting component. At Low and Medium settings, where the GPU workload is lighter, the frame rates remain high and the scaling is relatively gradual. At High and Ultra settings, the 4K drop is much steeper, showing that the GPU is working harder to render the additional detail. The CPU's role is secondary, as evidenced by the fact that even at 1080p Low (where CPU overhead would be most apparent), the system still achieves 383 FPS, far above what any display can show.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael), manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 4.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a TDP of 105 W. The CPU supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and it features 64 KB L1 cache per core, 1 MB L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 7700X scores 19,088 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1,987 in single-core. Its Passmark multi-thread score is 35,686, with a single-thread score of 4,190. The CPU's 3DMark scores show strong scaling: 1,090 in single-thread, 2,112 in 2-thread, 4,074 in 4-thread, 7,057 in 8-thread, and 8,859 in 16-thread (with max-thread at 8,852). This indicates that the CPU scales well up to its full 16 threads, with only a marginal gain from 8 to 16 threads.

For Inside, which is a 2D puzzle platformer, the CPU's role is relatively modest. The game is not known for demanding physics or complex AI, so even a mid-range CPU could handle it. The 7700X's high single-thread performance (1,987 in Cinebench R23 single-core) ensures that any single-threaded game logic runs without bottlenecking the GPU. The 16 threads provide ample headroom for any background tasks or streaming overhead.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 85 indicates it performs better than 85% of all CPUs tested, and its average benchmark score of 35,909 places it in the same tier as the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (35,802) and Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (35,670). In Inside, the CPU's contribution to frame rates is likely negligible, as the GPU is clearly the dominant factor in determining FPS, evidenced by the steep scaling at higher settings and resolutions. The 7700X's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for this title, and the data suggests that the system's 59th-place ranking is primarily driven by the RTX 5090 D's performance rather than any CPU limitation.
