Inside

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile pairing produces a measured performance profile for Inside that places this combo at 2237th out of 3716 tested configurations, with a GPU that sits at the 63rd percentile of all GPUs and a CPU at the 83rd percentile. The dataset covers four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) across three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160), yielding twelve distinct average frame-rate measurements that reveal a system comfortably capable of handling the puzzle platformer, though the GPU emerges as the more limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show that the High preset provides the most balanced experience across all resolutions, delivering 148 FPS at 1920x1080, 107 FPS at 2560x1440, and 67 FPS at 3840x2160. Ultra is nearly identical in performance, yielding 141 FPS, 102 FPS, and 64 FPS at the same resolutions respectively, which means the visual upgrade from High to Ultra costs only 7 FPS at 1080p, 5 FPS at 1440p, and 3 FPS at 4K. For users who prioritize smoothness over absolute fidelity, Medium is the standout option because it produces 237 FPS at 1080p, 171 FPS at 1440p, and 107 FPS at 4K, with the 4K Medium result matching the High preset's 1440p frame rate.

The measured rows indicate that High is the recommended preset for a 60 Hz display, as it maintains at least 60 FPS at every tested resolution, while Ultra only barely exceeds that threshold at 4K. For high-refresh-rate monitors, Medium at 2560x1440 offers 171 FPS, which is more than double the 4K High result and still retains a reasonable visual quality. Low is unnecessary for this game, as even the most demanding preset never falls below 64 FPS; the 134 FPS at 4K Low and 297 FPS at 1080p Low are useful only for maximizing frame rates on 240Hz displays. The data shows no scenario where the combination of CPU and GPU fails to deliver a playable frame rate, so the choice between presets hinges entirely on whether the user prefers the modest fidelity gains of Ultra or the substantial headroom of Medium.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060 Mobile carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s, and its clock speeds are 1545 MHz base with a 1890 MHz boost. The memory clock is 2000 MHz, which translates to 16 Gbps effective, and the GPU has 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. In the passmark G3D benchmark, the card scores 17469, with a passmark compute score of 6816, and its average benchmark score of 22729 places it at the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals show the RTX 2080 with a deltaPct of -0.7% (meaning the 2080 is 0.7% faster), the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT at +0.8% (slower), the Intel Arc B580 at -1.3% (faster), and the RTX 5060 Mobile at +1.3% (slower).

The VRAM allocation is more than adequate for Inside, which is a 2D puzzle platformer with modest texture requirements, so the 8 GB capacity never becomes a constraint. The boost clock of 1890 MHz is sufficient to push frame rates high at 1080p, but the measured results show a clear GPU-bound behavior as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the FPS reaches 297, which suggests the GPU is not the primary constraint at that point, but at 4K Ultra the frame rate drops to 64, indicating the GPU is fully engaged. The bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s and the 128-bit bus width are typical for a mobile 40-series part, and the data shows that these specifications are enough to handle the game's rendering demands without any dips below 60 FPS at any preset.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scales predictably with pixel count, and the data reveals a near-linear relationship between resolution and performance. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 148 at 1920x1080 to 107 at 2560x1440, a drop of 41 FPS, and then to 67 at 3840x2160, another drop of 40 FPS. This pattern is consistent across all presets: Low falls from 297 to 213 to 134, Medium from 237 to 171 to 107, and Ultra from 141 to 102 to 64. The consistency of these 41-40 FPS decrements at High, and similar ratios elsewhere, indicates that the GPU is the limiting component when resolution increases, as the CPU does not show signs of saturating at any resolution.

At 1080p, the highest FPS recorded is 297 FPS on Low, while the lowest is 141 FPS on Ultra. At 1440p, the range is 213 FPS on Low to 102 FPS on Ultra. At 4K, the range is 134 FPS on Low to 64 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 4K for the High preset is 148 to 67, which is a 54.7% reduction in FPS, but the pixel count quadruples, so the frame rate does not halve proportionally. This indicates that the game is heavily GPU-bound at 4K, and the RTX 4060 Mobile is working near its limit. The CPU, with its 16 cores and 22 threads, can clearly feed the GPU enough data at all resolutions, as the FPS does not collapse in a way that would indicate a CPU stall.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2237 out of 3716 tested configurations places this pairing in the bottom 60% of all combos, meaning 60% of other CPU-GPU combinations achieve higher average frame rates in Inside. This rank is lower than what the individual component percentiles might suggest, because the CPU's 83rd percentile is much higher than the GPU's 63rd percentile. The GPU's average benchmark score of 22729 is 0.7% lower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (deltaPct -0.7), 0.8% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (deltaPct +0.8), 1.3% lower than the Intel Arc B580 (deltaPct -1.3), and 1.3% higher than the RTX 5060 Mobile (deltaPct +1.3). The CPU's average score of 32697 is within 0.4% of its nearest rivals, with the Intel Core i5-14600T at 0.0% delta, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 at +0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F at -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H at -0.4%.

This ranking suggests that the GPU is the bottleneck for this specific game, as the CPU's high percentile does not translate into a top-tier combo rank. The RTX 4060 Mobile's performance is average for a laptop GPU, and the game's relatively light GPU load means that the 63rd percentile is sufficient to produce the measured FPS, but the combo rank of 2230 indicates that many other pairings with faster GPUs achieve higher frame rates. The data does not show any severe thermal or power throttling in the measurements, and the GPU's performance aligns with its passmark score.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a 16-core, 22-thread processor with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, built on the Meteor Lake architecture with a 24 MB shared L3 cache. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 15028 and the single-core score is 1743, and the passmark multithread score is 24873. The CPU's percentile vs all CPUs is 83, and its average benchmark score is 32697, with a launch MSRP of $503. In Inside, the CPU's role is secondary because the game is not heavily threaded, but the high boost clock of 4.80 GHz ensures that the single-threaded workload of the game logic does not become a bottleneck.

At 1080p Low, the FPS reaches 297, which is well beyond the refresh rate of most monitors, and even at 4K Low the FPS is 134. This suggests that the CPU can easily keep up with the GPU at all settings. The 16 cores and 22 threads are far more than the game requires, and the L3 cache of 24 MB is ample for the game's data. The CPU's 83rd percentile is high, but the combo rank is dragged down by the GPU, which confirms that the CPU is not the limiting factor. The 3.80 GHz base clock is also sufficient, as the game does not stress the CPU, and the measured frame rates at high presets are all above 60 FPS.

The Medium preset is the only one with min and max FPS data, and the range is tight: at 1080p the min is 202 and max is 273, at 1440p the min is 145 and max 196, and at 4K the min is 91 and max 123. This indicates that the frame times are consistent, with no sudden dips that would affect gameplay. The average FPS for Medium at 4K is 107, which is the same as the High preset at 1440p, and the Ultra preset at 4K is 64 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows a consistent scaling pattern, with the High preset always being about 5-7% faster than Ultra, and Medium being about 60% faster than High.
