Inside

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a performance profile in Inside that is overwhelmingly dominated by the graphics card. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high, ranging from 260.1 FPS at Ultra settings to 339.9 FPS at Low settings. Moving to 1440p, the average frame rates remain very high, with the Low preset still exceeding 300 FPS at 305.8 FPS. The most significant scaling occurs when moving to 4K resolution, where the Ultra preset drops to 114.4 FPS, while the High preset maintains 122.2 FPS. The data indicates that the CPU is not a limiting factor in this title; the performance scaling from 1080p to 4K is driven by the GPU's rendering load, with the most substantial frame rate drop observed at the highest resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The recorded data shows a clear and consistent pattern of frame rate reduction as resolution increases, which is typical for a game where the GPU is the primary performance bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo produces 260.1 FPS. When resolution increases to 2560x1440, the same Ultra preset yields 184.9 FPS, representing a 29% reduction. The jump to 3840x2160 is more severe, with the Ultra preset falling to 114.4 FPS, which is a 56% drop from the 1080p result. This scaling indicates that the game's rendering demands scale heavily with pixel count, and the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth become the limiting factors at higher resolutions.

The behavior at lower settings is even more telling. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 339.9 FPS. At 1440p Low, it still maintains 305.8 FPS, a modest 10% decline. However, at 4K Low, the frame rate drops to 244.1 FPS, a 20% reduction from 1440p. This suggests that at lower settings, the game is less demanding on the GPU's pixel processing, allowing the CPU to feed frames more effectively, but the 4K resolution still imposes a significant workload. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings (339.9 to 244.1 FPS) shows a 28% overall decrease, while the same resolution span at Ultra settings (260.1 to 114.4 FPS) shows a 56% decrease. This disparity confirms that the Ultra preset amplifies the GPU's pixel shading and memory bandwidth requirements, making resolution scaling more punishing.

The data indicates that this game is not CPU-bound at any tested resolution. The frame rate differences between 1080p and 1440p at the same settings are smaller than the differences between 1440p and 4K, which is a classic sign of GPU scaling. For instance, the High preset goes from 263.9 FPS at 1080p to 196.3 FPS at 1440p (a 26% drop), but then to 122.2 FPS at 4K (a 38% drop from 1440p). The increasing percentage drop at each higher resolution step points to the GPU's pixel throughput and memory interface becoming progressively more saturated.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this configuration for Inside. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s, which is sufficient for the game's texture and geometry data at all tested settings. The base clock of 2340 MHz and boost clock of 2610 MHz are high, and the GPU's 8448 shading units process the game's pixel and vertex work. The benchmark results show that the GPU's performance scales predictably with the game's settings presets, which adjust the rendering load.

The recorded data shows that the GPU is capable of delivering very high frame rates even at 4K. The High preset at 3840x2160 averages 122.2 FPS, which is above the 120 FPS threshold, while the Medium preset achieves 194.2 FPS. This indicates that the GPU has substantial headroom for this puzzle platformer. The GPU's FP32 performance of 44.10 TFLOPS and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s are directly relevant to the game's rendering, which relies heavily on fill rate and shader processing for its atmospheric lighting and particle effects.

The memory configuration is also critical. The 16 GB capacity is more than adequate for a game released in 2016, even at 4K Ultra settings. The bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s ensures that the GPU does not stall on texture reads, which is evident in the relatively small frame rate gap between the Medium and High presets at 1440p (282.8 vs 196.3 FPS, a 44% difference). The GPU's role as the primary performance driver is confirmed by the fact that the lowest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset (114.4 FPS at 4K Ultra) is still very playable, and the highest (339.9 FPS at 1080p Low) is far beyond typical display refresh rates.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database, this specific combination of the Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER achieves a combo rank of 448 out of 3716 tested combinations for Inside. This places the combo in the top 12% of all tested systems, which is a strong result for a game that is not particularly demanding on modern hardware. The rank indicates that the GPU's high performance is the primary contributor, as the CPU's role is secondary.

The CPU's own benchmark scores provide context for its contribution. The Intel Core i5-14400F has an average benchmark score of 32279, placing it at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U with a score of 32233 (a 0.1% difference) and the Intel Core i9-11900 with a score of 32226 (a 0.2% difference). These scores are nearly identical, meaning the CPU's performance is not a differentiator in this game. The combo rank of 448 is more likely driven by the GPU, which has an average benchmark score of 31087, placing it at the 76th percentile among all GPUs.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 with a score of 31206 (a -0.4% difference) and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX with a score of 31676 (a -1.9% difference). These deltas are small, suggesting that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a high-performing GPU, but not an outlier. The combo rank of 448 out of 3716 means that 448 other combinations of CPUs and GPUs deliver higher average frame rates in Inside. Given the game's age and its relatively simple rendering pipeline, the high rank is expected; the data shows that this combo is more than capable of running the game at maximum settings with high frame rates at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data provides a complete matrix of average frame rates across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 339.9 FPS, the Medium preset delivers 313.9 FPS, the High preset delivers 263.9 FPS, and the Ultra preset delivers 260.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 79.8 FPS, showing that the settings presets have a measurable impact on performance, but even the most demanding preset remains far above 240 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the data shows 305.8 FPS for Low, 282.8 FPS for Medium, 196.3 FPS for High, and 184.9 FPS for Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 120.9 FPS, and the drop from Medium to High is significant at 86.5 FPS. This suggests that the High preset introduces a substantial increase in shading or post-processing effects that the GPU must handle. The Ultra preset adds a smaller additional load, with a 11.4 FPS difference from High.

At 3840x2160, the data shows 244.1 FPS for Low, 194.2 FPS for Medium, 122.2 FPS for High, and 114.4 FPS for Ultra. The scaling here is steeper. The drop from Low to Medium is 49.9 FPS, from Medium to High is 72.0 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 7.8 FPS. This pattern indicates that the High preset is where the GPU's pixel processing becomes heavily taxed at 4K, while the Ultra preset adds only a marginal further load. The 4K Low preset at 244.1 FPS is still higher than the 1080p Ultra preset at 260.1 FPS, showing that resolution scaling is less impactful at lower settings than the settings preset itself.
