Inside

Inside, released on 2016-07-06, is a Puzzle Platformer used as the measured workload for this combination. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 produce average FPS readings ranging from 77.4 at 3840x2160 High to 315.9 at 1920x1080 Low. The CPU aggregates a 93rd-percentile score of 49062; the GPU aggregates a 73rd-percentile score of 30109. In the game-specific ranking, this combo sits at 772 out of 1671 tested combinations.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread Zen 3 desktop processor in AMD's 5000 series, with the Vermeer codename on Socket AM4. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz, a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, 64 MB of L3 cache, and a 105 W TDP. The CPU uses dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, supports ECC memory, and exposes PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes. It is built on TSMC's 7 nm process with 8,300 million transistors and a die size of 2x 74 mm².

For a puzzle platformer, per-core throughput matters more than raw thread count. The 5950X posts 944 in 3dmark_single_thread, 1856 in 3dmark_2_threads, and 5450 in Cinebench R23 single-core. Those single-thread results are strong, and the measured frame rate at 1920x1080 Low reaches 315.9 fps, showing that the CPU can drive very high update rates when the GPU load is light. Its multi-thread aggregate results are also high: 11597 in 3dmark_max_threads, 38607 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 16214 in Cinebench R20 multi-core, and 45424 in Passmark multithread. Synthetic CPU scores are not game-specific, but they establish the processor's throughput profile.

In aggregate CPU score, the 5950X is close to its nearest rivals. The Core i5-14600K scores 49166 with a deltaPct of -0.2, the Core i5-14600KF scores 49367 with -0.6, the Xeon Gold 5318H scores 48698 with +0.7, and the EPYC 4345P scores 49595 with -1.1. The 5950X is slightly behind the i5-14600K, i5-14600KF, and EPYC 4345P in aggregate score, and slightly ahead of the Xeon Gold 5318H. Inside's measured FPS remain high even at preset levels that place more load on the GPU, indicating that the CPU portion of this combination is not the limiting factor in the recorded rows.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured rows provide average FPS only, with minimum and maximum frame times left null. Across all three resolutions, Low is the fastest preset. At 1920x1080, Low averages 315.9 fps, Medium averages 280.8 fps, High averages 179.1 fps, and Ultra averages 166.4 fps. At 2560x1440, Low averages 254.4 fps, Medium averages 204.1 fps, High averages 128.8 fps, and Ultra averages 121.7 fps. At 3840x2160, Low averages 156.5 fps, Medium averages 125.9 fps, High averages 77.4 fps, and Ultra averages 79.1 fps.

The High and Ultra presets are close together in every resolution, and the only reversal appears at 4K, where Ultra is slightly ahead of High. Medium is the highest preset that keeps a large margin over the High/Ultra grouping: 280.8 fps at 1080p, 204.1 fps at 1440p, and 125.9 fps at 4K. If the goal is maximum measured FPS, Low is the clear choice. If the goal is a stronger visual setting while retaining a big frame-rate cushion, the data supports Medium as the best compromise among the measured rows.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo rank in Inside is 772 out of 1671 tested combinations. Because a lower rank means a faster position, this is a slightly above-midfield result. The CPU is in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. That percentile gap suggests the CPU is the stronger component in this pairing by aggregate score, while the GPU is closer to the middle of the tested GPU field.

The RTX 5060's nearest rivals in aggregate GPU score are the Radeon RX 7700 XT with 30097 and a deltaPct of 0.0, the Radeon RX 570 with 30158 and -0.2, the Tesla M60 with 29969 and +0.5, and the RTX 5070 Mobile with 29928 and +0.6. The RTX 5060's own aggregate score of 30109 is effectively level with the RX 7700 XT, slightly behind the RX 570, and slightly ahead of the Tesla M60 and RTX 5070 Mobile.

The GPU side of this combo is a Blackwell 2.0 part on TSMC's 5 nm process, with 21,900 million transistors and a 181 mm² die size. It has 3840 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, 48 ROPs, 30 ray tracing cores, and 120 tensor cores. Its memory configuration is 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, has a 145 W TDP, and a release date of 2025-05-18. Synthetic GPU scores include 120785 in Geekbench OpenCL, 116626 in Geekbench Vulkan, 20891 in Passmark G3D, and 10899 in Passmark GPU compute.

In the game-specific rank, this combination is 772 out of 1671. The measured FPS are high in absolute terms, but the ranking shows that other tested combinations still produce faster results in Inside.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

All measured FPS values are averages because the minFps and maxFps fields are null in every recorded row. The breakdown is as follows:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 77.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 156.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 125.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 79.1 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 128.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 254.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 204.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 121.7 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 179.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 315.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 280.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 166.4 |

At 1080p, Low and Medium deliver much higher averages than High and Ultra. At 1440p, Low and Medium also stay well ahead of High and Ultra. At 4K, Low and Medium remain above 125.9 fps, while High and Ultra fall to 77.4 and 79.1 fps respectively. The High-to-Ultra relationship is not consistent: at 1080p and 1440p, High is ahead of Ultra; at 4K, Ultra is ahead of High. Since there are no minimum or maximum frame time recordings, the averages do not capture frame pacing or transient drops.
