How This Combo Ranks

The 151st position out of 1,636 combos places this system in the upper echelon of tested configurations for Control. This ranking reflects the combined strength of the RTX 5070 Ti and Ryzen 5 5600GT, with the GPU's 87th percentile standing among all GPUs being the dominant factor. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking is respectable but secondary, indicating that the graphics card is the performance ceiling for this pairing.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 5600GT's average benchmark score of 20,740 places it within 0.5% of several competitors. The Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20,746 (0% delta), the Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20,794 (-0.3% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X scores 20,680 (0.3% delta). This tight clustering shows the 5600GT is well-matched against these alternatives, with no single rival holding a meaningful advantage.

For the GPU, the RTX 5070 Ti's average score of 52,086 sits alongside the RTX 4080 at 52,085 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 7700S at 52,505 (-0.8% delta), the NVIDIA RTX A1000 at 50,826 (2.5% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 53,414 (-2.5% delta). The RTX 5070 Ti effectively trades blows with these cards, making it a versatile choice for Control.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the system scales across resolutions, highlighting the GPU's role as the primary bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 222.8 FPS, which drops to 175.3 FPS at 1440p (-21.3%) and further to 119.5 FPS at 4K (-46.4% from 1080p). This scaling pattern indicates the RTX 5070 Ti is increasingly stressed as pixel count rises, but the Ryzen 5 5600GT keeps up without becoming a limiting factor at lower resolutions.

At High settings, the scaling is similar: 147.7 FPS at 1080p, 113.4 FPS at 1440p (-23.2%), and 76.2 FPS at 4K (-48.4%). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest the GPU is the dominant performance determinant, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom at all resolutions. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K, reflecting the exponential pixel increase at higher resolutions.

The data shows that Ultra settings at 4K (69.1 FPS) still maintain playability, while 1080p Ultra (128.3 FPS) offers high refresh rate potential. The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution is substantial: at 1080p, Low (222.8 FPS) to Ultra (128.3 FPS) represents a 42.4% drop, while at 4K, Low (119.5 FPS) to Ultra (69.1 FPS) is a 42.2% drop. This consistent penalty across resolutions indicates the GPU's compute resources are the limiting factor when quality settings increase.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers high framerates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 222.8 FPS, Medium reaches 167.2 FPS, High achieves 147.7 FPS, and Ultra settles at 128.3 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p gaming is exceptionally smooth, with even the most demanding preset staying well above 120 FPS for high refresh rate displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected reduction. Low settings average 175.3 FPS, Medium hits 129.5 FPS, High runs at 113.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 100.5 FPS. The 1440p results demonstrate that this combo can comfortably drive high refresh rate monitors at this resolution, with Ultra settings still crossing the 100 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system maintains playable framerates across all quality levels. Low settings average 119.5 FPS, Medium achieves 87.3 FPS, High runs at 76.2 FPS, and Ultra produces 69.1 FPS. While 4K Ultra is the most demanding scenario, the 69.1 FPS average keeps gameplay fluid, and dropping to High or Medium provides additional headroom for those seeking higher refresh rates at 4K.

The progression from Low to Ultra consistently reduces framerates by roughly 42% at each resolution, confirming the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are the key constraints. The RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB of VRAM proves sufficient even at 4K Ultra, as no memory-related performance cliffs appear in the data.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti serves as the performance anchor for this combo, with its 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs reflecting its strong capabilities. The card features 8,960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs, providing substantial compute throughput for Control's physics and particle effects. Its 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores further enhance rendering capabilities, though Control's implementation of ray tracing is limited compared to newer titles.

The GPU's memory configuration is particularly relevant for Control's demanding environments. With 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 256-bit bus, the card delivers 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, ensuring high-resolution textures load without stuttering. The 28 Gbps effective memory speed and 1,750 MHz memory clock provide ample bandwidth for the game's detailed office environments and supernatural effects.

Clock speeds play a significant role in the measured results. The base clock of 2,295 MHz and boost clock of 2,452 MHz allow the card to maintain high utilization across all settings. The FP32 performance of 43.94 TFLOPS and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s contribute to the strong framerates observed at 1440p and 4K. The pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s supports the high resolutions tested, while the 300 W TDP and 700 W suggested PSU ensure stable operation under sustained loads.

The GPU's benchmark results reinforce its position in the hierarchy. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,604 and PassMark G3D score of 32,974 both place the card well above average, while the Geekbench OpenCL score of 231,226 and Vulkan score of 227,554 demonstrate strong compute capabilities. The RTX 5070 Ti's performance in Control aligns with its overall GPU percentile, confirming that the game is GPU-bound with this pairing.
