Control

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers a decisive performance profile in Control, with benchmark data showing that every tested resolution and preset configuration clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. The pairing of a mid-range 2021 CPU with a high-end 2025 GPU creates a system where the graphics card carries the primary workload, a fact reflected in the measured frame rates that scale predictably with resolution and settings changes.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 7 5700G sits in a tightly contested CPU performance bracket, with its average benchmark score of 27051 landing within a fraction of a percent of several mainstream rivals. The Intel Core i9-9900K trails by just 0.2%, while the Intel Core i5-14400T is 0.4% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and Intel Core i7-1370P are 0.4% and 0.6% faster, respectively. For gaming workloads like Control, this means any of these processors would produce nearly identical CPU-bound frame rates, making the choice between them inconsequential for this title.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5080's average score of 56083 places it among a cluster of high-performance graphics cards. The AMD Radeon 8060S is 0.6% slower, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB trails by 0.7%, and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X sits 2.3% behind. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE outperforms the RTX 5080 by 2.2%. In Control specifically, a system with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable Ryzen 7 5700G-class processor would deliver essentially the same experience—the measured FPS differences would fall well within run-to-run variance rather than representing a meaningful gameplay distinction.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded across all tested configurations?

A: The lowest average frame rate recorded is 73.4 FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings. The dataset does not include minimum or maximum FPS values, only averages, but every configuration tested clears the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: This CPU and GPU combination ranks 201st out of 3720 tested combos for Control, placing it in the top 5.4% of all systems benchmarked for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent performance hierarchy across all three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 219.7 FPS on Low, 184 FPS on Medium, 166.4 FPS on High, and 143.1 FPS on Ultra. The step from Low to Medium costs 35.7 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs 17.6 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 23.3 FPS. This shows diminishing returns at lower settings where the GPU has more headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down proportionally: 195.1 FPS on Low, 140.5 FPS on Medium, 126.2 FPS on High, and 109.9 FPS on Ultra. The resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 11-25% depending on the preset, with the smallest absolute drop occurring at Ultra settings (33.2 FPS difference) and the largest at Low settings (24.6 FPS difference).

At 3840x2160, the system still maintains excellent playability: 135.4 FPS on Low, 95.9 FPS on Medium, 85.8 FPS on High, and 73.4 FPS on Ultra. The transition from 1440p to 4K costs between 30.6% and 33.2% of performance across presets, with the Low setting dropping 59.7 FPS and Ultra dropping 36.5 FPS. Notably, the gap between Medium and High at 4K is just 10.1 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 12.4 FPS, suggesting that visual quality scaling becomes more efficient at higher resolutions where pixel count dominates the rendering load.

The Verdict

This system runs Control with authority at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdict data confirms that all four settings—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at all three resolutions, with the playable threshold set at 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the weakest configuration (Ultra) still produces 143.1 FPS, which is more than double the threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings deliver 109.9 FPS, providing a comfortable margin for demanding action sequences. Even at 3840x2160, the most demanding scenario, Ultra settings maintain 73.4 FPS, which clears the threshold by 22.3%.

The best settings per resolution are consistently Ultra, with the highest average FPS at each resolution occurring at the maximum quality preset. The system achieves 143.1 FPS at 1080p Ultra, 109.9 FPS at 1440p Ultra, and 73.4 FPS at 4K Ultra. This indicates that the RTX 5080 has sufficient headroom to run Control at maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness, making the choice of settings purely a matter of display capability rather than performance necessity.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 143.1 FPS. This provides 83.1 FPS of headroom over the playable threshold, making it the clear recommendation for full HD displays.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings again take the top spot with an average of 109.9 FPS. This leaves 49.9 FPS of margin, ensuring that even the most particle-heavy scenes in Control's supernatural combat encounters should remain fluid.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the best choice with an average of 73.4 FPS. While the headroom shrinks to 13.4 FPS over the 60 FPS threshold, the data shows this configuration is still comfortably playable. For users who prefer additional safety margin, High settings at 85.8 FPS offer a 12.4 FPS improvement over Ultra while sacrificing some visual fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU and GPU pairing ranks 201st out of 3720 tested combinations for Control, placing it in the 94.6th percentile of all systems benchmarked. The ranking reflects the RTX 5080's strong performance in this title, as the Ryzen 7 5700G's CPU score sits in the 79th percentile among all processors. The combination outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, with only 200 configurations achieving higher frame rates in Control.

The gap between the CPU's 79th percentile ranking and the combo's 94.6th percentile ranking highlights the GPU-centric nature of Control's performance demands. The RTX 5080's 87th percentile standing among all GPUs, combined with its 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability and 960.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, drives the overall result. The data indicates that this combo delivers a top-tier experience for Control, with performance headroom that would accommodate future patches or additional graphical mods without dropping below the playable threshold at any tested resolution.
