Q: How many total combinations were ranked for Control, and where does this combo stand?

A: This combo is ranked 757 out of 1636 total tested combinations. This places it in the upper-middle portion of all tested hardware pairings for this game.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows a clear pattern across all three resolutions: the Low preset delivers the highest frame rates, while Ultra provides the most demanding workload. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 151.1 FPS, which drops to 81.7 FPS at Ultra. The High preset at 96.1 FPS offers a balanced experience, retaining substantial visual quality while keeping frame rates well above 60 FPS.

For 2560x1440, the Medium preset at 81.9 FPS provides the best ratio of visual fidelity to performance. High settings at 73.3 FPS are also viable, but Ultra at 64.5 FPS begins to approach the lower boundary of smooth gameplay. Low settings at 113.8 FPS are excessive for most displays, making Medium the recommended choice for this resolution.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings at 78.2 FPS achieve a consistently smooth experience. Medium at 56.2 FPS and High at 48.2 FPS both fall below the 60 FPS target, while Ultra at 39.6 FPS is only suitable for slower-paced exploration. Users with 4K displays should default to Low or Medium, depending on their tolerance for reduced visual effects.

The data indicates that the High preset is the most versatile choice across resolutions, offering 96.1 FPS at 1080p, 73.3 FPS at 1440p, and 48.2 FPS at 4K. For users prioritizing frame rate over visual quality, the Low preset remains the only option that exceeds 60 FPS at all three tested resolutions.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2150 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. This configuration provides 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance, which directly influences the frame rates observed in Control.

The GPU's memory capacity plays a significant role at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160, the frame rate drops from 78.2 FPS at Low settings to 39.6 FPS at Ultra, a 49.3% reduction. This steep decline suggests that the 12 GB frame buffer is sufficient for texture storage, but the memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck when shader complexity increases. The 432.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1440p gaming, where the Ultra preset still achieves 64.5 FPS.

The RDNA 2.0 architecture with 40 ray accelerators supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which is relevant for Control's use of ray-traced reflections and shadows. However, the measured data does not distinguish between rasterized and ray-traced workloads, so the impact of these cores is not directly observable. The GPU's 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs contribute to the pixel and texture fill rates of 166.4 GPixel/s and 416.0 GTexel/s, respectively.

Compared to its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, the RX 6750 XT scores 1.3% lower in average benchmark score. This small delta indicates that the two GPUs are closely matched in raw compute, though the measured FPS in Control may vary due to driver optimizations and game-specific rendering paths.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the frame rate scales predictably with settings. Low yields 151.1 FPS, Medium drops to 104.8 FPS, High produces 96.1 FPS, and Ultra reduces performance to 81.7 FPS. The largest single-step drop occurs between Low and Medium, a 46.3 FPS reduction, while the difference between High and Ultra is only 14.4 FPS. This suggests that the Medium preset introduces significant rendering features that disproportionately impact performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the values are 113.8 FPS for Low, 81.9 FPS for Medium, 73.3 FPS for High, and 64.5 FPS for Ultra. The gap between Low and Medium narrows to 31.9 FPS, while the High-to-Ultra gap remains similar at 8.8 FPS. The performance ceiling for a 144 Hz monitor is only reachable with Low settings, but 60 Hz displays can be satisfied by any preset except Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the results are 78.2 FPS for Low, 56.2 FPS for Medium, 48.2 FPS for High, and 39.6 FPS for Ultra. This resolution shows the most dramatic scaling, with a 38.6 FPS difference between Low and Ultra. The transition from Medium to High costs 8.0 FPS, while High to Ultra costs another 8.6 FPS. None of the settings above Low achieve a 60 FPS average, indicating that 4K gaming requires either reduced settings or a more powerful GPU.

Across all resolutions, the Low preset consistently provides a 55-58% performance uplift over Ultra. The relative scaling between Medium and High is more moderate, varying between 11% at 1080p and 14% at 4K. This consistency suggests that the GPU's workload is primarily shader-bound rather than memory-bound, as resolution changes do not disproportionately affect the settings deltas.

How This Combo Ranks

In Control, this combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT achieves a rank of 757 out of 1636 tested combinations. This places the system in the 46th percentile of all tested hardware pairings, meaning roughly 54% of tested combos deliver higher average frame rates in this game.

The CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all processors indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600 is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. Its nearest rival, the AMD EPYC 9554P, scores 0.6% higher on average, while the Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 0.6% lower. This tight grouping suggests that the CPU provides consistent performance across a wide range of workloads.

The GPU's 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns closely with the CPU's positioning. The RX 6750 XT is 0.2% ahead of the RX 5600M and 1.3% behind the RTX 3080 in average benchmark scores. However, the combo's overall rank of 757 indicates that other factors, such as memory configuration and driver overhead, also influence the final FPS in Control.

The measured FPS data shows that this combo performs best at 1920x1080, where even Ultra settings achieve 81.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, the system remains competitive with a 64.5 FPS average at Ultra, but at 3840x2160, only Low settings provide a playable experience. These results suggest that the combo is optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring significant settings compromises.
