What limits performance in INSIDE

Your monitor's refresh rate, or the graphics card if it is slower. V-sync is always on (PCGamingWiki), so the frame rate stops at your monitor's refresh rate. Any recent card draws more than 60 FPS here, and each figure below shows what the card alone would reach.

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit on most PCs

Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT runs up to your refresh rate (the card alone: about 117 FPS) at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Intel i7 920 @ 2.7 GHz, AMD Phenom II 945 @ 3.0 GHz") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for INSIDE, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

Not stated

The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.

Settings to lower first in INSIDE

  1. 1Nothing, once you reach your monitor's refresh rate: INSIDE's frame rate goes no higher, so spend spare performance on higher settings or resolution instead.
