Best Settings per Resolution

The benchmark data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution, focusing on the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 62 FPS. The Medium preset achieves 70 FPS, and Low reaches 98 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while staying above the threshold. The Ultra preset falls short at 54 FPS, so it is not recommended for 4K play.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is fully playable with an average of 80 FPS. The High preset runs at 92 FPS, Medium at 104 FPS, and Low at 146 FPS. Since Ultra remains above 60 FPS, it is the optimal setting for maximum visual fidelity at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset averages 106 FPS, High runs at 122 FPS, Medium at 137 FPS, and Low at 193 FPS. Ultra is the best setting here, providing a high frame rate while preserving the game's visual effects.

The data also includes minimum FPS figures for Medium settings: 59 FPS at 4K, 88 FPS at 1440p, and 116 FPS at 1080p. While the 4K Medium minimum dips just below 60 FPS, the average of 70 FPS keeps it playable. For the High preset at 4K, no minimum is listed, but the 62 FPS average suggests it remains close to the threshold.

The Verdict

This PC combination can run Control with strong performance across all tested resolutions. The verdict data confirms that the Ryzen 7 5700G + RTX 4070 pairing clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution, though the degree of headroom varies significantly.

At 3840x2160, the system achieves playable frame rates on High, Low, and Medium presets. The best settings choice is High, which delivers 62 FPS on average. The Ultra preset is not playable at this resolution, averaging only 54 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the combo clears 60 FPS on all four presets. The Ultra preset is the best option, hitting 80 FPS on average. This gives users full flexibility to maximize visual quality without sacrificing playability.

At 1920x1080, the system excels across the board. Ultra settings run at 106 FPS, providing a high-refresh-rate experience. Even the most demanding preset offers more than 75% headroom above the 60 FPS threshold.

Overall, this is a well-balanced setup for Control. The 4K experience requires a slight compromise on settings, but 1440p and 1080p users can enjoy Ultra presets with room to spare. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, while the CPU keeps pace adequately at lower resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU divide responsibilities in Control at different resolutions. The key observation is that frame rates scale dramatically with resolution, which is a hallmark of GPU-bound performance.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 54 (Ultra) to 98 (Low). The gap between Low and High is 36 FPS (98 to 62), and between High and Ultra is 8 FPS (62 to 54). This tight clustering at the top end suggests that the GPU is saturated, with rendering resolution being the dominant factor. The CPU's role is relatively minor at this resolution, as the GPU is likely the limiting component.

At 2560x1440, the spread widens: Low averages 146 FPS, Medium 104 FPS, High 92 FPS, and Ultra 80 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 66 FPS, showing that preset changes have a larger impact at this resolution. This indicates that the GPU still has headroom, allowing the CPU to exert more influence on frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the scaling becomes even more pronounced. Low hits 193 FPS, Medium 137 FPS, High 122 FPS, and Ultra 106 FPS. The 87 FPS gap between Low and Ultra is substantial. At this resolution, the CPU's ability to feed the GPU becomes more critical, as evidenced by the high frame rates that approach CPU limits.

The resolution scaling tells a clear story: moving from 1080p to 4K at the same preset reduces FPS by roughly 50-70%. For example, at High settings, the drop is from 122 FPS (1080p) to 92 FPS (1440p) to 62 FPS (4K). This consistent scaling confirms that Control is predominantly GPU-bound with this hardware. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides sufficient processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at 1080p Low, where the GPU is pushed to 193 FPS.
