Control

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptional performance in Control, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested. The data shows this combo is heavily GPU-bound, with the RTX 4090 providing massive headroom even when paired with a mid-range CPU. At 4K Ultra, the system still averages 74.7 FPS, making it a definitive high-refresh-rate experience at maximum settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 74.7 FPS. The recorded data shows this is the highest quality option available, and it remains comfortably above the playable threshold. High settings at this resolution reach 88.7 FPS, while Medium hits 101.7 FPS and Low reaches 138.5 FPS, but Ultra is the optimal choice since it maximizes visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings are again the best option, producing an average of 111.7 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS target, and the margin is substantial enough to support high refresh rate monitors. High settings at 1440p yield 133.1 FPS, Medium delivers 140.3 FPS, and Low reaches 162.1 FPS, but none of these lower presets are necessary given the headroom at Ultra.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings provide an average of 140.5 FPS, which is the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS. The performance gap between presets narrows at this resolution, with High at 149.2 FPS, Medium at 154.9 FPS, and Low at 177.7 FPS. The system is so powerful at 1080p that even the most demanding settings leave enormous performance reserves.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Control at 4K Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings is 74.7 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four presets at this resolution, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, are playable.

Q: What is the highest playable settings preset at 1440p?

A: Ultra is the best settings preset at 2560x1440, delivering an average of 111.7 FPS. This is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold, so there is significant headroom for demanding scenes.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the RTX 4090 in this game?

A: The benchmark results do not indicate a CPU bottleneck. At 1080p Ultra, the combo still achieves 140.5 FPS, and the CPU's percentiles and average scores place it in the 71st percentile among all CPUs. The GPU's 88th percentile ranking suggests it is the primary performance driver, but the CPU keeps up.

Q: How does the RTX 4090 compare to its nearest rivals in this context?

A: The RTX 4090's average benchmark score of 60347 is nearly identical to the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60326, a 0% difference. It is 0.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48, 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M, and 2.9% behind the AMD Radeon PRO V710.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 4600G a suitable match for the RTX 4090?

A: The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, show only a 0.1% difference in average score, meaning the 4600G is squarely in its expected performance class. The measured FPS results show no signs of CPU-induced frame drops, as all resolutions exceed 60 FPS at Ultra.

Q: What is the best settings preset for the smoothest experience at 1080p?

A: Low settings at 1920x1080 produce the highest average FPS at 177.7 FPS. However, Ultra remains the recommended preset because it still delivers 140.5 FPS, which is far above the playable threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy. Low settings average 138.5 FPS, Medium drops to 101.7 FPS, High reaches 88.7 FPS, and Ultra settles at 74.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 63.8 FPS, indicating that the RTX 4090 has substantial scaling headroom as settings increase. All four presets remain above 60 FPS, so there is no resolution where this combo fails to meet the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages climb significantly. Low settings hit 162.1 FPS, Medium delivers 140.3 FPS, High reaches 133.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 111.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra narrows to 50.4 FPS compared to 4K, suggesting the GPU is less constrained at this resolution. Every preset here is far above 60 FPS, with even the lowest preset nearly tripling the threshold.

At 1920x1080, the FPS figures are the highest in the dataset. Low settings average 177.7 FPS, Medium reaches 154.9 FPS, High hits 149.2 FPS, and Ultra stays at 140.5 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is only 37.2 FPS, showing that the RTX 4090 maintains high frame rates regardless of quality settings. The minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded in the database, so only average figures are available for analysis.

The Verdict

The data confirms this system can run Control exceptionally well at all tested resolutions. The verdict by resolution lists every setting preset as playable, meaning Low, Medium, High, and Ultra all clear the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the best settings preset is Ultra with an average of 74.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 111.7 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 140.5 FPS.

There is no scenario in the recorded measurements where this combo falls below 60 FPS. The weakest result is 4K Ultra at 74.7 FPS, which still leaves a 14.7 FPS margin above the threshold. For gamers seeking maximum visual quality, Ultra is the correct choice at every resolution, as it never compromises frame rate. The RTX 4090's raw performance dominates, and the Ryzen 5 4600G provides enough throughput to avoid holding back the GPU.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average benchmark score of 17482, which is only 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 4600G's 17507. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, a 0.6% difference. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, coming in 0.6% higher, and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, which is 0.8% higher. In practice, swapping the 4600G for any of these CPUs would result in nearly identical frame rates in Control, as the differences are within 1% of each other.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc Pro A60 has an average score of 60326, a 0% difference from the RTX 4090's 60347. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140, which is 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61896, coming in 2.5% higher, while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, which is 2.9% lower. These alternatives would produce similar performance in Control, though the RTX 4090 remains the strongest option in its immediate peer group for gaming workloads.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 344th out of 3720 tested combos in the database for Control. This places it in the top 9.2% of all configurations tested. The ranking reflects the GPU's dominance, as the RTX 4090 sits in the 88th percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU is in the 71st percentile. The high rank is driven almost entirely by the graphics card, which provides the majority of the performance in this title.

The combo's rank of 344 out of 3720 means it outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, but it is not at the very top. Systems with faster CPUs paired with the same GPU would likely rank higher, as the 4600G's mid-range standing limits the overall score. However, the measured FPS data shows that in Control specifically, the CPU does not create a meaningful bottleneck, as even the most demanding 4K Ultra preset stays above 60 FPS. The rank is a general indicator across all games, while the FPS measurements are specific to this title, and in Control, this combo delivers a flawless experience at every resolution.
