How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific configuration at rank 85 out of 1671 tested combos in Inside. This position indicates that only 84 other system pairings deliver higher average frame rates across the tested settings and resolutions. The rank reflects the combined capability of the i7-14700KF and RTX 4070 Ti, both of which are high-end components. The CPU’s percentile of 96 among all processors suggests it outperforms 96% of CPUs tested, providing a strong foundation. The GPU’s 85th percentile is also high, though slightly lower than the CPU’s relative standing. This discrepancy hints that the graphics card is the more likely bottleneck in this pairing, though both components are clearly powerful enough for this title. The gap between the combo’s rank and the theoretical maximum is minimal, given the game’s age and the hardware’s modern specifications. For a title released in 2016, this system is overqualified, which the measured frame rates confirm.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of frame rate in Inside. It operates with a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. The GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, running at an effective 21 Gbps, provides a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, which is ample for the game’s 2D side-scrolling visuals. The card’s architecture, Ada Lovelace, includes 7680 shading units and 80 ROPs, which handle the game’s relatively simple rendering tasks with ease. The measured frame rates show the GPU scaling predictably with settings changes. At 4K, the difference between Low (242.3 FPS) and Ultra (113.7 FPS) is substantial, indicating that the GPU is doing most of the work as resolution increases. The GPU’s 85th percentile ranking means it outperforms 85% of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the RTX 5090 Mobile, scores only 0.6% higher on average. This suggests the RTX 4070 Ti is a very strong performer, though not the absolute top-tier.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels.

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 410.1 FPS on Low, 378.0 FPS on Medium, 267.3 FPS on High, and 257.6 FPS on Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra is 152.5 FPS, showing that settings have a notable impact even at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, performance drops slightly but remains extremely high. The Low setting yields 363.6 FPS, Medium produces 308.5 FPS, High results in 191.9 FPS, and Ultra delivers 186.2 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a reduction, but the system still far exceeds the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the data shows the largest variations. Low settings produce 242.3 FPS, Medium achieves 194.7 FPS, High reaches 124.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 113.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest in the dataset, yet it remains well above playable levels. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a drop of 128.6 FPS, which is the largest absolute range across all resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the limiting component shifts. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p (410.1 FPS) to 1440p (363.6 FPS) is 46.5 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K (242.3 FPS) is 121.3 FPS. This steep decline at 4K indicates the GPU is becoming more stressed as pixel count increases. At Ultra settings, the scaling is more pronounced: 1080p (257.6 FPS) to 1440p (186.2 FPS) is a 71.4 FPS drop, and 1440p to 4K (113.7 FPS) is a 72.5 FPS drop. The consistency of the drop between 1440p and 4K at both Low and Ultra settings suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p and 1440p Low settings, the frame rates exceed 360 FPS, which is likely beyond the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU efficiently, meaning the processor becomes the bottleneck at lower resolutions. The data shows a clear shift: the CPU limits at low resolution and low settings, while the GPU limits at high resolution and high settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF provides the computational backbone for this combo. It features 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The CPU’s 33 MB of shared L3 cache and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory contribute to its high benchmark scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 44557, and its single-core score is 6290, indicating strong performance in both threaded and single-threaded workloads. In Inside, which is a puzzle platformer with limited CPU demands, the i7-14700KF is rarely stressed. The benchmark data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system hits 410.1 FPS, which is likely near the engine’s ceiling. At this point, the CPU’s single-thread performance becomes the determining factor, as the GPU is not fully utilized. The CPU’s 96th percentile ranking places it above nearly all other processors, and its average benchmark score of 70104 is just 0.4% below the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X. This near-parity means that in CPU-light scenarios like Inside, the i7-14700KF will not hold back the RTX 4070 Ti, except in the most extreme low-resolution, low-settings cases.
