Control

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a strong performance profile for Control, with the recorded data showing that the combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at all tested resolutions when using appropriate settings. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally capable, producing frame rates that range from 104.8 FPS at Ultra to 175 FPS at Low. Moving to 2560x1440, the combo maintains high performance, with every preset staying above 81 FPS. Even at 3840x2160, the system remains playable on most settings, although the most demanding preset dips below the 60 FPS mark.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers an average of 175 FPS on Low settings, 134.6 FPS on Medium, 122.4 FPS on High, and 104.8 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 70.2 FPS, which shows that the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution even when pushed to maximum quality.

At 2560x1440, the averages decrease but remain high. Low settings produce 145.3 FPS, Medium drops to 105.3 FPS, High achieves 90.5 FPS, and Ultra still holds 81.4 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 63.9 FPS, indicating that the performance penalty for enabling Ultra settings is slightly less pronounced than at 1080p in absolute terms, though the relative cost remains similar.

The 3840x2160 results show a more significant impact from resolution scaling. Low settings average 98.9 FPS, which is still well above the playability threshold. Medium drops to 68 FPS, High sits at 62.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 57.1 FPS, the only preset across all tested configurations that fails to reach 60 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K costs roughly 47 to 53 percent of the frame rate depending on the preset, which is typical for a game with heavy rendering demands at higher pixel counts.

The data shows that the most demanding configuration tested, 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, is the only scenario where the combination fails to maintain 60 FPS. Every other preset and resolution pairing stays above the threshold, often by a wide margin. The minimum and maximum FPS values are not recorded in the database, so the analysis relies on average frame rates, but the averages alone demonstrate a robust performance envelope for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G sits very close to several other processors in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, which is only 0.1 percent lower than the 4600G's average. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, a 0.6 percent deficit, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, putting it 0.6 percent ahead. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, which is 0.8 percent higher. These deltas are small enough that in real gaming scenarios, particularly with a strong GPU like the RTX 4070, the user would likely see no meaningful difference in Control's frame rates when swapping between these processors. The CPU's percentile rank of 71 among all tested CPUs places it in the upper portion of the database, but its nearest rivals show that it is not an outlier in either direction.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 has an average benchmark score of 37648, and its nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, just 0.1 percent behind. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507, a 0.4 percent deficit. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135, which is 1.3 percent higher, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37157, 1.3 percent lower. These margins indicate that the RTX 4070 delivers performance in line with these alternatives, though the desktop RTX 4070 benefits from full power delivery and cooling compared to the mobile variant. For Control specifically, any of these GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 4070, meaning the playability verdict at each resolution would remain unchanged.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS for each resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the threshold, so the best settings are Ultra, which averages 104.8 FPS. This leaves considerable room above the 60 FPS target, so users seeking higher refresh rates could still choose High at 122.4 FPS or Medium at 134.6 FPS, but Ultra is the most demanding option that remains comfortably playable.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 81.4 FPS. This is 21.4 FPS above the threshold, providing a smooth experience with maximum quality. The drop from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 23.4 FPS, which is a reasonable cost for the increased resolution.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are High, with an average of 62.1 FPS. This is only 2.1 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, so while it is technically playable, the margin is slim. Medium settings at 68 FPS offer more headroom, and Low at 98.9 FPS provides a much safer margin, but High is the most demanding preset that still averages above 60 FPS. Ultra at 57.1 FPS falls short, so it is not recommended at 4K.

The Verdict

The recorded verdict data confirms that this PC can run Control successfully across nearly all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at 104.8 FPS. This resolution offers the most flexibility, as even the heaviest preset provides a frame rate well above the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra at 81.4 FPS being the best choice. The system has enough performance to handle maximum quality at this resolution without dipping below the threshold. The margin of 21.4 FPS above 60 FPS means that frame rate drops during intense combat or physics-heavy scenes would still likely stay within playable range.

At 3840x2160, the system is playable on High, Medium, and Low settings, but not on Ultra. High averages 62.1 FPS, which passes the threshold but leaves little room for variance. Medium at 68 FPS provides a more comfortable buffer, and Low at 98.9 FPS is the safest option for maintaining high frame rates. Users targeting 4K should choose High for visual quality or Medium for greater stability, but Ultra is not recommended.

Overall, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is more than sufficient for Control at 1080p and 1440p, and it remains capable at 4K with adjusted settings. The only configuration that fails the 60 FPS test is 4K Ultra, which misses the mark by 2.9 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets in the measured data reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Control. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all presets, with Low reaching 175 FPS and Ultra still hitting 104.8 FPS. The relatively small gap between presets at this resolution, 70.2 FPS from Low to Ultra, suggests that the GPU is the dominant factor, since lowering the resolution would typically expose CPU limits, yet the CPU still delivers enough throughput to keep the GPU fed.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues, with Low at 145.3 FPS and Ultra at 81.4 FPS. The absolute frame rates are lower than at 1080p, which is expected as the GPU takes on more pixel work. The CPU's role becomes less critical at higher resolutions because the GPU spends more time on each frame, but the Ryzen 5 4600G's six cores and twelve threads are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4070 in this title.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload increases significantly, and the frame rates reflect this. Low drops to 98.9 FPS, Medium to 68 FPS, High to 62.1 FPS, and Ultra to 57.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 41.8 FPS, smaller than at lower resolutions in absolute terms but proportionally similar. This indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, while the CPU continues to provide adequate support. The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor at any resolution, as the frame rate scaling follows the GPU's expected performance curve.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 1023 out of 3720 tested combos for Control. This places the system in the upper 27.5 percent of all tested configurations, which is a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank reflects the overall performance of the combo across the measured scenarios, and the high frame rates recorded at 1080p and 1440p contribute significantly to this position.

The Ryzen 5 4600G's percentile rank of 71 among all CPUs indicates that it is above average in general processing power, while the RTX 4070's percentile rank of 81 among all GPUs shows that it is a high-performing graphics card. The combination of a slightly above-average CPU with a well-above-average GPU results in a system that performs well in Control, which is a game that benefits from strong GPU performance due to its visual effects and rendering techniques.

The combo rank of 1023 out of 3720 means that many other tested combinations achieve higher frame rates, but the majority of tested combos perform worse. For users with this specific pairing, the recorded data shows that Control is highly playable at all standard resolutions, with the only caveat being that 4K Ultra falls just short of the 60 FPS threshold. This ranking is consistent with the measured FPS results, confirming that the system delivers a solid experience for this title.
