Measured FPS Breakdown
At 3840x2160, the recorded average frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce 106.5 FPS, Medium produces 77.3 FPS, High produces 69 FPS, and Ultra produces 60.1 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 46.4 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset exacts a significant performance cost at 4K. The minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in the database for any resolution, so only average values are available for analysis.
At 2560x1440, Low settings average 133.8 FPS, Medium averages 111.1 FPS, High averages 99 FPS, and Ultra averages 89.4 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 44.4 FPS, a slightly smaller gap than at 4K. The Ultra preset still delivers a frame rate that is 29.4 FPS above the playable threshold.
At 1920x1080, Low settings average 147.6 FPS, Medium averages 129.6 FPS, High averages 127.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 115.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 31.8 FPS, the smallest relative penalty among the three resolutions. Interestingly, at 1080p, the Medium preset (129.6 FPS) edges out High (127.4 FPS) by 2.2 FPS, suggesting that the High preset may introduce specific effects that cost more than the step to Medium.
Across all resolutions, the Low preset consistently delivers the highest average frame rates, while Ultra delivers the lowest. The scaling from Low to Ultra is roughly linear at 4K and 1440p, but at 1080p the penalty for the final step from High to Ultra is 11.6 FPS, while the step from Medium to High is only 2.2 FPS. This indicates that the Ultra preset at 1080p is still very playable, but the jump from High to Ultra is proportionally larger than earlier steps.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 21484. The nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V with a score of 21440 (0.2% lower), the Intel Core i9-11900H with 21367 (0.5% lower), the Intel Xeon D-1746TER with 21635 (0.7% higher), and the AMD EPYC 9454 with 21223 (1.2% lower). In practice, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Control, meaning the frame rates recorded for this combo would be expected to remain within a small margin if the CPU were swapped for one of these alternatives. The Xeon D-1746TER is the only one that scores slightly higher, while the EPYC 9454 scores slightly lower, but the deltas are all under 1.3%.
For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 has an average benchmark score of 40377. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon Pro 580 with 40318 (0.1% lower), the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 with 40063 (0.8% lower), the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 with 40870 (1.2% higher), and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile with 39568 (2% lower). The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is the only rival that beats the RTX 5070 in aggregate score, but the margin is small. In Control, a system with the Radeon Pro 5300 would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of those measured here, while the RTX A500 Mobile would be slightly slower.
It is important to note that these rival GPUs are professional or mobile parts, not consumer gaming cards. The benchmark scores indicate similar aggregate compute capability, but the RTX 5070's architecture includes features like 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, which may affect ray tracing workloads in Control differently than these rivals. The measured frame rates in this database come from the exact RTX 5070 and Ryzen 5 2600 combination, so direct substitution with a rival part would require additional testing to confirm exact frame rates.
The Verdict
The recorded data shows that this PC can run Control at all three tested resolutions with every preset, including the most demanding Ultra settings. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 60.1 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a razor-thin margin. The database classifies all four settings at 4K (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 89.4 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 115.8 FPS. There is no resolution or preset combination in the measured data that falls below 60 FPS.
The 4K Ultra result is the only borderline case. A 0.1 FPS margin is within measurement variance, so users who want a more stable experience at 4K might prefer the High preset, which averages 69 FPS and provides a 9 FPS buffer over Ultra. However, by the strict playable threshold of 60 FPS, Ultra is technically playable at 4K.
For 1440p and 1080p, the verdict is unambiguous. The Ultra preset at 1440p offers a 29.4 FPS margin over the threshold, and at 1080p the margin is 55.8 FPS. This combo is not just playable at these resolutions, it is comfortably above the target with headroom for demanding scenes that might cause frame rate dips.
How This Combo Ranks
In the database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 ranks 891st out of 3720 tested combos for Control. This places the combo in the 76th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms roughly three-quarters of the recorded systems. The rank reflects the aggregate performance of the CPU and GPU pair, and the measured frame rates confirm that this is a high-performing combination for this game.
The CPU itself sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the GPU sits at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs. The combo rank of 891 out of 3720 is consistent with these individual percentile positions, indicating that the pair does not exhibit any unusual synergy or bottleneck in Control. The frame rate data supports this: the system scales predictably with resolution and settings, and no preset or resolution produces a result below the playable threshold. For a game released in 2019, this modern GPU and mid-range CPU combination delivers a strong performance profile that remains relevant for high-refresh-rate 1440p and playable 4K gaming.
