Control

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a decisive performance victory in Control, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every preset across all three tested resolutions. The data shows this combo is not merely capable but overwhelmingly dominant, with average frame rates ranging from a low of 61.8 FPS at 4K Ultra to a high of 224.3 FPS at 1080p Low. Benchmark results confirm that this pairing eliminates any need for compromise on visual fidelity, as even the most demanding settings remain comfortably above the playability bar.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 Ti produces triple-digit average frame rates across every settings tier. The Low preset reaches 224.3 FPS, while Medium drops to 159.9 FPS. High settings still deliver 142.6 FPS, and Ultra rounds out the resolution at 126.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial at 97.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU has significant headroom to spare at this resolution. Even at the most demanding preset, the average frame rate is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold, suggesting that the system is heavily bottlenecked by the display refresh rate rather than the hardware.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scaling follows a predictable pattern with slightly reduced but still excellent figures. The Low preset achieves 171.5 FPS, Medium reaches 124.5 FPS, and High produces 105.8 FPS. Ultra settings maintain a robust 92.7 FPS average, which is 32.7 FPS above the playable threshold. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 78.8 FPS, a smaller margin than at 1080p but still indicative of strong GPU headroom. The data reveals that 1440p Ultra delivers frame rates that would satisfy high-refresh-rate monitors without any adjustments.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4070 Ti demonstrates its high-resolution capability while still maintaining playability at every setting. The Low preset produces 115.7 FPS, Medium drops to 81.4 FPS, and High achieves 75.7 FPS. Ultra settings are the only configuration that approaches the threshold, with an average of 61.8 FPS—just 1.8 FPS above the 60 FPS line. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a 53.9 FPS reduction, which is the steepest drop across all resolutions. This indicates that 4K Ultra is the boundary condition for this combo, where it remains playable but with the least margin for error.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU benchmarks place the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT in a tightly contested performance band. Its average benchmark score of 29879 is virtually identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, which scores 29868 with a deltaPct of 0. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, putting them a marginal 0.3 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X trails slightly with 29713, a 0.6 percent deficit. In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Control, as the game's demands are unlikely to expose such minor single-digit percentage differences.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti's average score of 44795 places it among a diverse set of rivals. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45152, which is 0.8 percent higher, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT achieves 45384 at 1.3 percent ahead. The NVIDIA RTX A6000 trails by 1.6 percent with 44075, and the Intel Arc A730M leads by 1.7 percent with 45592. These deltas are all within a narrow 3 percent window, meaning that users comparing these GPUs should expect similar frame rates in Control. The RTX 4070 Ti's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs reinforces its position as a high-end contender, though the nearest rivals show that the performance envelope is tightly packed.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Control at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, the data shows all four settings tiers at 3840x2160 are playable. The Ultra preset averages 61.8 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold, while High, Medium, and Low achieve 75.7, 81.4, and 115.7 FPS respectively.

Q: What is the highest quality setting that maintains 60 FPS at 1440p?

A: The Ultra preset at 2560x1440 averages 92.7 FPS, making it the most demanding option that still clears the playable threshold by a wide margin of 32.7 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 Ti compare to the RTX 5090 Mobile in this game?

A: The RTX 5090 Mobile has a 0.8 percent higher average benchmark score than the RTX 4070 Ti. This negligible difference suggests both GPUs would deliver effectively equivalent frame rates in Control.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5800XT a bottleneck for the RTX 4070 Ti?

A: The CPU's 81st percentile ranking and its near-identical benchmark scores to rivals like the Ryzen 7 7840H indicate it has ample processing power. The measured FPS data shows no obvious CPU limitation, as frame rates scale consistently with GPU settings.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1080p gaming?

A: Ultra settings at 1920x1080 produce an average of 126.8 FPS, which is more than double the playable threshold. This makes Ultra the recommended choice without any performance concerns.

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

A: The combo ranks 492nd out of 3720 tested combinations, placing it in the top 13.2 percent of all systems evaluated for Control.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti achieves a rank of 492 out of 3720 tested combos, placing it comfortably in the upper tier of systems evaluated for Control. This ranking reflects the strong synergy between the 8-core, 16-thread CPU and the high-end GPU. The CPU's 81st percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 84th percentile among all graphics cards indicate a balanced pairing where neither component drastically underperforms the other. The measured FPS data supports this ranking, as the system delivers playable performance at every resolution and setting combination tested, a feat not all systems achieve at 4K Ultra.

The Verdict

This PC can definitively run Control at playable frame rates across all tested configurations. The verdict data confirms that every resolution—1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160—has all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) marked as playable. The 60 FPS threshold is cleared at 4K Ultra with an average of 61.8 FPS, which is the minimum performance point across the entire test matrix. At 1440p, the Ultra preset delivers 92.7 FPS, offering significant headroom above the playability bar. The 1080p Ultra configuration reaches 126.8 FPS, ensuring a smooth experience even on high-refresh-rate displays. There is no scenario in the data where this combo fails to meet the 60 FPS requirement.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 126.8 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for 1080p, as it provides the highest visual quality without any risk of dropping below the playable threshold.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings are again the best choice, producing an average of 92.7 FPS. The 32.7 FPS margin above the threshold ensures consistent performance even during intense combat sequences or scenes with heavy particle effects.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the optimal preset with an average of 61.8 FPS. While this is the closest margin to the 60 FPS threshold in the entire test set, it still clears the bar with 1.8 FPS to spare. Users seeking additional headroom at 4K could consider High settings at 75.7 FPS, but the data indicates that Ultra is viable for those prioritizing image quality.
