Control

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers a strong, consistent experience in Control across all tested settings, with the data indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The measured frame rates show that this combo is capable of exceeding 60 FPS at 4K with High settingsings, while 1440p and 1080p offer headroom for high refresh rate displays. Benchmark results place this pairing in the 86.7th percentile of all tested combos for this title, confirming its standing as a high-end configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario, particularly at higher quality presets. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 226 at 1920x1080 to 171 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 55 FPS, and then further to 115 at 3840x2160, a 111 FPS drop from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that even at Low settings, the rendering load increases dramatically with pixel count, and the RTX 4070 Ti’s compute and memory bandwidth are being taxed accordingly.

At Medium settings, the progression is similar but with slightly narrower absolute gaps: 161 FPS at 1080p, 121 FPS at 1440p, and 82 FPS at 4K. The delta between 1080p and 1440p is 40 FPS, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 39 FPS. This linear scaling pattern is typical for a GPU that is fully utilized, as the workload per pixel scales directly with resolution. The High preset shows a comparable trend, with 143 FPS at 1080p, 108 FPS at 1440p, and 73 FPS at 4K.

The Ultra preset exhibits the most significant relative drop, moving from 124 FPS at 1080p to 94 FPS at 1440p, and then to 63 FPS at 4K. The absolute difference between 1080p and 4K is 61 FPS. The fact that the 4K Ultra score of 63 FPS is the lowest recorded in the dataset, and that the 1440p Ultra score of 94 FPS is still well above 60, suggests that the Ryzen 5 7600’s six-core, 12-thread Zen 4 architecture is not bottlenecking the GPU at any tested resolution. The data shows the CPU is able to feed the RTX 4070 Ti adequately, even at 1080p Low, where the 226 FPS average indicates a high CPU throughput ceiling.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, with its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The measured FPS data strongly supports the conclusion that the GPU is the performance limiter, particularly as resolution increases. For example, the 4K Ultra average of 63 FPS is the lowest result, and the 1080p Low result of 226 FPS is the highest, which is a classic indication of GPU-bound scaling.

The GPU’s boost clock of 2610 MHz, combined with its 7680 shading units, allows it to handle the workload in Control effectively. The jump from High to Ultra settings at 1440p results in a 14 FPS drop (from 108 to 94 FPS), while the jump from Medium to High at the same resolution results in a 13 FPS drop (from 121 to 108 FPS). These relatively consistent deltas between presets suggest that the GPU is efficiently processing the increased visual complexity. The 84th percentile ranking for the GPU versus all other GPUs confirms its high-end status, and its average benchmark score of 44795 is within 1% of its nearest rivals, the RTX 5090 Mobile and the Radeon Pro 5500 XT.

The RTX 4070 Ti’s DirectX 12 Ultimate support is relevant for a game like Control, which is a DirectX 12 title. The GPU's 60 RT cores also suggest potential for ray tracing workloads, though the measured FPS data provided does not include ray tracing-specific results. The VRAM capacity of 12 GB is sufficient for the tested scenarios, as the data shows no signs of performance collapse at 4K Ultra, which would be the most demanding configuration for memory usage.

The measured FPS data shows a wide range of performance from 226 FPS at 1080p Low to 63 FPS at 4K Ultra, and the rank likely reflects an average across these scenarios. Users aiming for the highest possible rank would need to prioritize lower resolutions and settings, while those seeking a visual experience would still achieve a top-tier result.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the High preset at 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. It delivers an average of 108 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay and provides headroom for high refresh rate monitors. The jump from High to Ultra at this resolution costs 14 FPS (from 108 to 94 FPS), which is a minor reduction for potentially marginal visual gains. For users prioritizing frame rate above all, the Medium preset at 1440p offers 121 FPS, but High provides a more substantial visual upgrade for only a 13 FPS decrease.

For 4K displays, the High preset is the recommended choice. The average of 73 FPS at 3840x2160 is the highest score above the 60 FPS threshold for this resolution. The Ultra preset dips to 63 FPS, which is playable but leaves very little margin for demanding scenes. The Medium preset at 4K offers 82 FPS, but the visual fidelity hit from High to Medium is generally more noticeable at higher resolutions. For 1080p, the High preset at 143 FPS is a solid choice for high-refresh-rate gaming, while the Ultra preset at 124 FPS remains well above 60 FPS.

The Low preset is only recommendable for extreme frame rate pursuit, such as competitive play, where the 226 FPS at 1080p or 171 FPS at 1440p could be leveraged. However, the visual compromise is significant. The data indicates that the High preset is the "sweet spot" for this hardware, providing a significant performance boost over Medium while maintaining a high level of graphical fidelity.
