Performance Analysis: Control on Your System
The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti produces high frame rates in Control, an Action Adventure title. Measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with a playable threshold of 60 FPS. The CPU's launch MSRP is $196 and the GPU's launch MSRP is 799 USD. Across all tested configurations, the lowest average is 63 FPS at 4K Ultra, and the highest is 226 FPS at 1080p Low, so every combination clears the playable threshold.

At 4K, the average FPS ranges from 63 on Ultra to 115 on Low. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 70 and a maximum of 94. At 1440p, the range is 94 to 171, with Medium averaging 121 FPS, a minimum of 103, and a maximum of 140. At 1080p, the range is 124 to 226, with Medium averaging 161 FPS, a minimum of 136, and a maximum of 185. Only the Medium preset includes min/max values in the measured data; the other presets report average FPS only.
CPU and GPU Roles
The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, 20 MB of shared L3 cache, and an average benchmark score of 25292, placing it in the 77th percentile. The RTX 4070 Ti has 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 60 RT cores, 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, and an average benchmark score of 44795, placing it in the 84th percentile. The GPU's raw compute metrics — 40.09 TFLOPS FP32, 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate, and 208.8 GPixel/s pixel rate — are substantially higher than the CPU's compute-oriented results, but the CPU's single-thread performance is strong: 3DMark single-thread 960, Cinebench R23 single-core 3191, and Geekbench single-core 1996.
The frame-rate scaling across resolutions reveals how the balance shifts. At Low settings, average FPS drops from 226 at 1080p to 171 at 1440p to 115 at 4K. At Ultra, the same progression is 124 to 94 to 63. This consistent decline with resolution indicates that the GPU's pixel and texture throughput becomes the dominant factor as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to reach 226 FPS on Low, which is the highest measured result in the set. At 4K, the GPU workload is much heavier, and the average FPS at Ultra settles at 63, just above the 60 FPS threshold.
Preset scaling within a resolution also shows the GPU's role. At 4K, Low averages 115, Medium 82, High 73, and Ultra 63. At 1080p, Low averages 226, Medium 161, High 143, and Ultra 124. The absolute differences between presets are larger at 1080p than at 4K, which is consistent with the CPU having more headroom at lower resolution while the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolution. The CPU's multi-thread results — Cinebench R23 multi-core 22604, 3DMark max threads 7307, and PassMark multithread 25032 — are more than sufficient for this game's demands at all tested resolutions.
FAQ

The Verdict
Based on the measured data, this combination can run Control at all tested resolutions and presets. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and every average FPS value in the measured set is at or above 63. At 3840x2160, the verdict lists High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable, with Ultra averaging 63 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 94 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 124 FPS. Therefore, the system clears 60 FPS even at the highest preset and native 4K.
Best Settings per Resolution
At each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 63 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 94 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 124 FPS. Since even the most demanding preset clears the threshold, no compromise is needed for any resolution in this test set.
How This Combo Ranks
This specific combination ranks 496th out of 3720 tested combos in Control. That places it in the upper tier of the database's tested pool. The data is measured, not estimated, and the GPU's percentile (84) and CPU's percentile (77) support the strong in-game ranking.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the nearest benchmark rivals are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (average score 25284, 0% delta), Intel Core 5 120 (25362, -0.3% delta), AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365, -0.3% delta), and AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25201, 0.4% delta). These processors have average scores within 0.4% of the i5-13400F, so systems using them would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Control.
For the GPU, the nearest benchmark rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (45152, -0.8% delta), AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (45384, -1.3% delta), NVIDIA RTX A6000 (44075, 1.6% delta), and Intel Arc A730M (45592, -1.7% delta). The RTX 4070 Ti's average score of 44795 sits between the RTX A6000 and the RTX 5090 Mobile, with all rivals within 1.7%. In practice, a system with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would be expected to land near the same frame rates at each resolution and preset.
