GPU Role

The AMD Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, featuring 512 shading units and a boost clock of 2599 MHz. It relies on system shared memory, meaning its bandwidth is system dependent, and its 5.323 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is modest for modern gaming. The GPU's 35th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates that it falls behind the majority of discrete graphics solutions, which directly explains the lower frame rates observed in Inside.

The GPU's role in this system is entirely decisive for the measured results. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H, with 16 cores and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, sits at the 87th percentile of all CPUs, representing a high-end mobile processor. However, the benchmark data shows that even with this capable CPU, the system cannot maintain high frame rates at demanding settings. For instance, at 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 46, which is less than half of the 96 FPS achieved at 1080p Low. This 50% reduction solely from changing graphics settings underscores that the Radeon 760M is the component that dictates the gaming experience.

The GPU's memory configuration as "System Shared" means it draws from the same LPDDR5X pool as the CPU. While the CPU's memory bandwidth is rated at 153.6 GB/s, the GPU's bandwidth is simply listed as "System Dependent," making it difficult to isolate the impact of memory speed. Nevertheless, the data reveals a clear pattern: the Radeon 760M provides adequate performance for low-demand scenarios but quickly becomes overwhelmed as pixel count and graphical complexity increase. The GPU's 16 ROPs and 32 TMUs are relatively low counts, which limit its ability to handle the fill-rate and texture processing demands of higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a stark and consistent decline as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, revealing the GPU as the primary bottleneck. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 96 FPS at 1920x1080 to 69 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 43 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 55% drop from 1080p to 4K, which is a substantial performance penalty that points directly to pixel-pushing limitations of the Radeon 760M.

At Medium settings, the scaling pattern is similar but slightly less severe in absolute terms. The system averages 77 FPS at 1080p, 55 FPS at 1440p, and 35 FPS at 4K. The 42 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K is nearly identical to the 53 FPS difference seen at Low settings, indicating that the relative performance hit from increasing resolution is consistent regardless of quality preset. This consistency suggests that the GPU is operating at its fill-rate limit, and the extra pixels at 4K directly translate to lower frame output.

The jump from 1440p to 4K is particularly punishing. At High settings, 1440p yields 34 FPS, while 4K yields 22 FPS, a 35% reduction. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 33 FPS at 1440p to 21 FPS at 4K, a 36% reduction. These numbers confirm that the Radeon 760M lacks the raw throughput to handle 4K output, even for a 2D puzzle platformer like Inside. The measured data indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the frame rates continue to scale down with pixel count, a classic sign of GPU-bound performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the only settings preset that provides a consistently smooth experience is 1920x1080 with Low settings, which delivers an average of 96 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for this hardware. It offers more than double the frame rate of the next viable option, 1080p Medium, which averages 77 FPS. While 77 FPS is still playable, the 19 FPS advantage of Low settings makes it the safer choice for maintaining consistent fluidity in a game that relies on precise timing and atmospheric tension.

At 1440p, the data shows that Low settings are also the best choice, with an average of 69 FPS. However, this is noticeably lower than the 96 FPS available at 1080p, and the drop to Medium at 1440p brings the average down to 55 FPS, which may introduce noticeable stutter in action sequences. For users who prioritize resolution over smoothness, 1440p Low is acceptable, but it is a compromise compared to the 1080p experience.

The High and Ultra presets are not recommended for this system. At 1080p High, the average FPS is 48, and Ultra drops to 46. At 1440p, both High and Ultra fall below 35 FPS, and at 4K, they hover in the low 20s. These configurations produce frame rates that are likely to feel sluggish for a game that requires responsive controls. The measured minimum FPS data, available for Medium settings, shows a floor of 65 FPS at 1080p and 47 FPS at 1440p, indicating that even Medium can dip below the 60 FPS threshold at higher resolutions. Therefore, the data strongly favors 1080p Low as the optimal balance of performance and visual fidelity for this combination.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H and AMD Radeon 760M ranks 2876 out of 2887 tested combos for Inside. This places the system in the bottom 0.4% of all configurations in the database, a position that is almost entirely attributable to the GPU. The CPU itself is a high performer, ranking at the 87th percentile among all processors, but the Radeon 760M's 35th percentile GPU ranking drags the combined score down significantly.

Comparing to the CPU's nearest rivals helps contextualize the processor's strength. The Intel Core 7 253PE scores an average of 40557, which is 0.1% higher than the 368H's 40518. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431, putting it 0.2% behind the 368H. These negligible differences confirm that the CPU is not the source of the system's low rank. Instead, the GPU's performance, which is 0.5% behind the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 and just 0.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6400, is the determining factor.

The rank of 2876 out of 2887 means that almost every other tested system, regardless of its CPU, outperforms this combo in Inside. This is a critical finding for any user considering this hardware. The integrated graphics solution simply cannot deliver the frame rates necessary for a high-quality gaming experience, even in a non-demanding title like Inside. The data shows a significant gap between this combo and the vast majority of the field, underscoring the importance of a discrete GPU for gaming workloads.
