Control

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B570 combination produces a system that sits in a well-populated performance tier. For the CPU, the Ryzen 7 5700G’s average benchmark score of 27,051 places it within a 0.6% delta of several comparable processors. The nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27,097 (0.2% higher), and the Intel Core i7-1370P, which scores 26,900 (0.6% lower). The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is also close at 26,936 (0.4% higher), while the Intel Core i5-14400T leads the group slightly with a score of 27,166, a 0.4% advantage. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in a game like Control, where the GPU typically dominates the rendering workload.

On the graphics side, the Intel Arc B570’s average benchmark score of 20,556 makes it a direct peer of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20,534 (0.1% higher). The Intel Arc A750 is nearly indistinguishable at 20,582, just 0.1% above. Two older mobile workstation parts, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X, also fall within a 0.5% band, though they are less relevant for gaming. The data indicates that swapping the Arc B570 for an Arc A750 would produce virtually the same frame rates in Control, while a move to the RTX 3070 Mobile would also be imperceptible in terms of average FPS.

The percentile rankings reinforce this picture. The Ryzen 7 5700G sits at the 79th percentile among all tested CPUs, meaning it outperforms roughly four-fifths of the database’s processors. The Arc B570, at the 65th percentile among GPUs, is a more mid-pack part. This combination of a strong CPU with a mid-tier GPU is typical for a balanced 1080p or entry-level 1440p gaming system, and the measured results in Control align with that expectation.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For users considering alternative hardware that would behave similarly in Control, the nearestRivals data provides a clear set of options. On the CPU side, the Intel Core i9-9900K, AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, Intel Core i5-14400T, and Intel Core i7-1370P all fall within a 0.6% performance envelope of the Ryzen 7 5700G. In a game like Control, which is heavily GPU-bound at most settings, this CPU difference would be negligible; frame rates would be dictated by the graphics card, not the processor. The 3DMark multi-threaded scores further confirm this: the Ryzen 7 5700G scores 6,629 in the 16-thread test, while its single-thread score is 899, showing a capable but not exceptional multi-core performance that matches its rivals.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc A750 is the closest match to the Arc B570, with an average score just 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is similarly close at 0.1% above. The Quadro M4000M and Radeon R9 M390X are also within 0.5%, though these are older designs. For Control specifically, any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical average frame rates at the same resolution and settings. The Arc B570’s 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus provides 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the game’s textures at 1080p and 1440p, though the 4K results suggest memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data for Control reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the system achieves 101 FPS on Low settings, 71 FPS on Medium, 63 FPS on High, and 55 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 46 FPS drop, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck as settings increase. The CPU, with its 16 threads and 3.80 GHz base clock (4.60 GHz boost), has ample headroom to feed the GPU at this resolution, as evidenced by the fact that even the most demanding preset stays above 50 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced. Low settings produce 76 FPS, Medium drops to 54 FPS, High to 48 FPS, and Ultra to 42 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 34 FPS, but the absolute numbers are lower across the board, suggesting that the GPU is now the dominant factor. The CPU’s performance is less relevant here because the rendering load increases by roughly 78% in pixel count from 1080p to 1440p, shifting the bottleneck squarely onto the Arc B570.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost entirely responsible for the system’s performance. Low settings yield 51 FPS, Medium 36 FPS, High 32 FPS, and Ultra 28 FPS. The CPU’s 3DMark scores, while respectable, have no bearing on these results; even a significantly faster processor would not improve these numbers because the GPU is saturated. The data shows that the Ryzen 7 5700G is never the limiting factor in this combo — the Arc B570 determines playability at every resolution, with the CPU only mattering in the sense that it is fast enough to avoid introducing a secondary bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested CPU-GPU combinations for Control, this pairing ranks 2,995 out of 3,720 total combos. This places it in the 19.5th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 80% of the tested combos perform better in this game. The rank reflects the Arc B570’s mid-tier GPU position; the CPU is strong, but the GPU holds the system back in a title like Control that scales heavily with graphics hardware. The comboRankInGame figure of 2,995 suggests that users with a faster GPU paired with the same CPU would see substantially better results, while those with a slower GPU would drop further down the list.

The percentileVsAllGpus score of 65 for the Arc B570 reinforces this interpretation. The GPU is better than 65% of all tested GPUs, yet the combo still ranks low because Control is a demanding game at higher settings. At 1080p Low, the system delivers 101 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold, but at 1080p Ultra it drops to 55 FPS, just below that threshold. This pattern — playable at medium or high settings at 1080p, but struggling at 4K — is consistent with a GPU that ranks in the 65th percentile.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 101 FPS on Low, 71 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 61 and maximum of 82), 63 FPS on High, and 55 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows the most consistent frame pacing, with a 21 FPS range between minimum and maximum, while Low and High have no reported min/max values in the data.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are lower across the board. Low settings produce 76 FPS, Medium drops to 54 FPS (min 46, max 62), High to 48 FPS, and Ultra to 42 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p shows a 16 FPS range, indicating slightly less variance than at 1080p, but the average is still below the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings yield 51 FPS, Medium 36 FPS (min 31, max 42), High 32 FPS, and Ultra 28 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K has an 11 FPS range, the tightest of any resolution, which suggests the GPU is consistently saturated. The data shows a clear pattern: each resolution step up reduces the average FPS by roughly 20-30%, and each settings step up within a resolution reduces FPS by 10-15% on average.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the highest playable preset is High, which delivers an average of 63 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium also qualifies at 71 FPS, but High offers better visual quality while still maintaining smooth gameplay. Ultra falls short at 55 FPS, so it is not recommended for 1080p.

At 2560x1440, only Low settings achieve the 60 FPS threshold, with an average of 76 FPS. Medium drops to 54 FPS, making it unplayable by the 60 FPS standard. High and Ultra are progressively slower at 48 FPS and 42 FPS, respectively.

At 3840x2160, no settings preset reaches 60 FPS. The best result is Low at 51 FPS, which is below the playability threshold. The verdict data confirms this: there are no playable settings at 4K for this combination. Users targeting 4K would need to reduce resolution or accept frame rates below 60 FPS. The overall best settings across all resolutions is 1080p High at 63 FPS, which balances visual fidelity with playability.
