Control

Control is an Action Adventure game released on 2019-08-26. The measured combination is the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600. The measured FPS data includes 12 rows spanning 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. In Control's measured combo ranking, this pairing sits at rank 1361 out of 1636, and the dataIsMeasured flag is true.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The frame rate scales down sharply as resolution climbs. At Low settings, average FPS goes from 107.2 at 1920x1080 to 80.2 at 2560x1440, then to 55 at 3840x2160. The High preset follows the same arc: 68.2, 53.4, then 36.6. Medium starts at 75.7, falls to 56, and then to 40. Ultra starts at 57, drops to 44.4, and reaches 30.2 at 3840x2160. This pattern means the gap between the 1920x1080 and 3840x2160 results is large for every preset. The 3840x2160 Ultra row is far below the 1920x1080 Low row, and the same FPS collapse appears in the Low preset as well.

That scaling behavior is important for identifying the limiting component. The Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU, and its synthetic scores are respectable, but if the CPU were the main constraint, increasing resolution would not reduce FPS so consistently across all four presets. The measured rows show a nearly uniform pattern of lower FPS at every higher resolution. The data therefore points to the Radeon RX 6600 being pushed harder at higher pixel counts. The 3840x2160 Low result of 55 and the 3840x2160 Ultra result of 30.2 both indicate that this GPU is the component that governs how much resolution headroom the combo has in Control.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename on a 7 nm process, and it has 16 MB of L3 cache, 64 KB of L1 cache per core, and 512 KB of L2 cache per core. Memory support is dual-channel DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and the CPU is on AMD Socket AM4 with a 65 W TDP. The synthetic benchmark profile is balanced: Cinebench R23 multicore is 16429, single-core is 2319, 3DMark 16-thread is 5386, 3DMark single-thread is 836, PassMark multithread is 19330, and PassMark single thread is 3058. The CPU's percentile vs all CPUs is 79, and its average benchmark score is 20875.

In Control, the strongest evidence of CPU capability is the 1920x1080 Low result of 107.2 FPS. This is the highest average FPS in the measured set, and it occurs when the GPU has the least work to do. At 2560x1440 Low the same combo delivers 80.2 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it delivers 55. The CPU is also close to its nearest synthetic rivals: the Intel Core i5-12500 has an average score of 20897 with deltaPct -0.1, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE has 20900 with deltaPct -0.1, and the Intel Core i5-12600T has 20917 with deltaPct -0.2. The 6-core, 12-thread layout appears sufficient to keep the measured 1920x1080 frame rate well above every higher-resolution row in this dataset.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|---|---|---|

| 1920x1080 | Low | 107.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 75.7 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 68.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 57 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 80.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 56 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 53.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 44.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 55 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 40 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 36.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 30.2 |

The table shows a strict ordering at every resolution: Low produces the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. At 1920x1080, every preset remains above the 3840x2160 Low result of 55, with Ultra at 57. At 2560x1440, the Medium row is 56 and the High row is 53.4, meaning the High preset falls below the 3840x2160 Low result. At 3840x2160, Low is 55, Medium is 40, High is 36.6, and Ultra is 30.2. No 3840x2160 preset reaches the 1920x1080 Ultra value of 57. The measured rows include avgFps only; minFps and maxFps are null in the data, so no minimum or maximum frame rate information is available.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Radeon RX 6600 is based on the Navi 23 chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture on a 7 nm process. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1750 MHz and 14 Gbps effective transfer rate; memory bandwidth is 224.0 GB/s. The GPU clocks are 1626 MHz base, 2044 MHz game clock, and 2491 MHz boost. The shader array contains 1792 shading units, 112 texture units, and 64 ROPs, plus 28 RT cores. Peak pixel rate is 159.4 GPixel/s, texture rate is 279.0 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute is 8.928 TFLOPS. The GPU's TDP is 132 W, its bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, and the suggested PSU is 300 W.

In synthetic GPU tests, PassMark G3D is 15096, percentile vs all GPUs is 69, and average benchmark score is 25235. The nearest rival list includes AMD Radeon 890M at 25246, AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 25287, AMD Radeon RX 6700M at 25180, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 25120. In Control, the measured frames follow the GPU workload closely: 1920x1080 Low reaches 107.2, while 3840x2160 Low is 55, and 3840x2160 Ultra is 30.2. The 8 GB frame buffer and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are part of this configuration, and the measured data shows the GPU becoming the limiting component as pixel count rises.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Among the measured rows, at 1920x1080 the High preset provides 68.2 FPS, the Medium preset provides 75.7, and the Ultra preset provides 57. High sits above Ultra by a clear margin while remaining below Medium in average FPS. At 2560x1440, Medium is 56 and High is 53.4, so High offers no measured FPS advantage over Medium; Ultra is 44.4, and Low is 80.2. At 3840x2160, Low is 55, Medium is 40, High is 36.6, and Ultra is 30.2.

If the priority is a higher preset with a strong average FPS, the 1920x1080 High row is the standout measured result: it is above every 2560x1440 row except Low, and above every 3840x2160 row. For 2560x1440, the measured data suggests Medium as the highest preset with FPS above the 3840x2160 Low result, since Medium is 56 and High is 53.4. For 3840x2160, Low is the only measured preset that reaches 55; all other 3840x2160 rows are 40 or below.

How This Combo Ranks

The Control-specific combo rank is 1361, and the total number of tested combos is 1636. This places the pairing in the lower portion of the ranking table. By comparison, the component-level percentiles are higher: the CPU is at percentile vs all CPUs 79, and the GPU is at percentile vs all GPUs 69. The CPU's nearest rival Intel Core i5-12500 has an average score of 20897 with deltaPct -0.1, and the GPU's nearest rival AMD Radeon 890M has an average score of 25246 with deltaPct 0. Despite those component averages, Control's measured rank is 1361 out of 1636, indicating that the game's specific workload does not favor this combination as much as the synthetic averages might imply. The dataIsMeasured flag is true, so this rank is based on the measured FPS rows rather than estimated performance.
