Inside

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 80th out of 1,671 tested combinations for Inside, placing it in the top 4.8% of all tested systems. This is a strong showing for a puzzle platformer, a genre not typically associated with extreme hardware demands, and it reflects how this high-end pairing handles the game's specific rendering workload. The benchmark data indicates that this combination is positioned firmly in the upper echelon of tested configurations, with the ranking suggesting that only 79 other combos deliver higher average frame rates in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 80 out of 1,671 combos is a decisive metric. It shows that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5090 together produce frame rates that surpass 95.2% of all recorded system configurations for Inside. Given the game's 2016 release date and its stylized, side-scrolling nature, this performance is expected to be exceptionally high, but the exact rank confirms it. The data shows this pairing is not merely adequate; it is a top-tier performer, with the ranking reflecting the cumulative benefit of a high-end CPU and a flagship GPU working in concert. The percentileVsAllCpus score of 87 for the CPU and 94 for the GPU further contextualize the hardware's individual strengths, though the combined result in this specific game is what determines the 80th place finish.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 brings substantial resources to Inside, most notably its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. For a game with the visual simplicity of Inside, this memory configuration is far beyond what is necessary, meaning the GPU is never constrained by memory capacity or bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock of 2407 MHz and base clock of 2017 MHz provide the raw processing speed, while its 21,760 shading units handle the game's rendering tasks with ease. The benchmark results show a clear pattern: as settings increase from Low to Ultra at any given resolution, the frame rate drops, which is the GPU working harder on additional visual effects. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 39,650 and its 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirm its high-end status, though in Inside, its role is primarily to ensure that frame rates remain exceptionally high even at maximum settings, as evidenced by the 144.4 FPS average at 4K Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 346.6 FPS, which drops to 263.2 FPS at 1080p High, indicating a settings-dependent workload. Moving to 1440p, the Low setting average is 307.9 FPS, and High is 240.1 FPS. At 4K, the averages fall further to 263.4 FPS on Low and 151.3 FPS on High. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at High settings shows a 42.5% reduction in frame rate (from 263.2 to 151.3 FPS), which is a significant drop but still leaves the game highly playable. This pattern suggests that while the CPU is capable of pushing very high frame rates at lower resolutions, the GPU becomes the more limiting factor as resolution increases, particularly at 4K with higher settings. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens at 4K, with a 119 FPS difference, compared to an 85.5 FPS difference at 1080p, reinforcing that the GPU's workload scales more heavily with both resolution and settings.

FAQ

*Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems for Inside?*

A: It ranks 80th out of 1,671 tested combos, placing it in the top 4.8% of all configurations tested for this game.

Q: What is the average frame rate at 1080p Ultra settings?

Q: Does the GPU have enough memory for this game?

A: Yes, with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, the RTX 5090 vastly exceeds any requirement Inside might have, ensuring memory is never a bottleneck.

Q: What is the performance difference between 1440p High and 4K High?

A: The average FPS drops from 240.1 FPS at 2560x1440 High to 151.3 FPS at 3840x2160 High, a reduction of 88.8 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to limit performance at 1080p?

A: At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 346.6, suggesting the CPU is capable of driving very high frame rates; the GPU is likely the limiting factor when settings are increased, as frame rates drop to 263.2 FPS at High settings.

Q: What is the lowest average FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The lowest average FPS is 144.4, which occurs at 3840x2160 resolution with Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data represents the measured average frame rates for this specific CPU and GPU combination in Inside.

• 3840x2160 (4K): High 151.3 FPS, Low 263.4 FPS, Medium 242.5 FPS, Ultra 144.4 FPS.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): High 240.1 FPS, Low 307.9 FPS, Medium 282.9 FPS, Ultra 229.9 FPS.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): High 263.2 FPS, Low 346.6 FPS, Medium 317.8 FPS, Ultra 261.1 FPS.

The data shows a consistent hierarchy: Low settings always produce the highest frame rates, followed by Medium, then High, and finally Ultra. The differences between settings are more pronounced at lower resolutions; for example, at 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 85.5 FPS, while at 4K, it is 119 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is handling additional effects at higher settings, and the impact is magnified at higher resolutions where the pixel count is greater. The 1440p results show a narrow spread between High (240.1 FPS) and Ultra (229.9 FPS), suggesting that the GPU can manage these settings with only a 10.2 FPS difference, making Ultra a viable option without a major performance penalty.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its key feature is the 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is substantial for gaming workloads. In Inside, a game that does not require heavy multi-threading, the CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 959 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,115 indicate strong per-core performance. The benchmark results show that at 1080p Low, the system reaches 346.6 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's limit for this title, given the game's age and lower graphical demands. The CPU's average benchmark score of 31,580 and its 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs place it near rivals like the Intel Core i7-12700F, which has a deltaPct of 0.1%. However, for Inside, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain high frame rates, and the data suggests it does so effectively, as even at 4K High, the combo still produces 151.3 FPS, indicating the CPU is not holding back performance at higher resolutions.
