Inside

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 pairing delivers strong performance in Inside, a puzzle platformer from 2016. The CPU, with 20 cores and 28 threads, boosts up to 5.40 GHz, while the GPU features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and a 128-bit bus. Measured frame rates range from 73.5 FPS at 4K Ultra to 354.1 FPS at 1080p Low, showing that this combo handles the game with ease. The configuration ranks 734th out of 1671 tested combos, placing it above the median. The CPU's launch MSRP is $359, and the GPU's launch MSRP is 299 USD.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for each resolution. At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 77.5 FPS, while Ultra drops to 73.5 FPS. Both are above 60 FPS, but High offers a larger margin for demanding scenes, making it the recommended preset for 4K. At 2560x1440, High delivers 129.6 FPS and Ultra 119.9 FPS; both are smooth, but High again provides more headroom. For 1920x1080, Ultra still produces 168.6 FPS, so the highest preset is fully playable without compromise. Medium and Low presets yield even higher frame rates—up to 354.1 FPS at 1080p Low—but for visual fidelity, High or Ultra is the best balance. The data shows that the GPU is never a bottleneck; even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS stays above 70.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060's specifications are more than sufficient for Inside. It packs 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The base clock is 2280 MHz, boost clock 2497 MHz, and memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These figures translate to a Passmark G3D score of 20891, placing the GPU in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 30109 is essentially tied with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (delta 0%) and within 0.6% of the RTX 5070 Mobile. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (73.5) and 4K High (77.5) confirm that the GPU's memory capacity and bandwidth are adequate for the game's highest settings. The GPU's FP32 throughput of 19.18 TFLOPS and pixel rate of 119.9 GPixel/s further support its ability to maintain high frame rates across all tested resolutions.
