Control

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 9070 pairing delivers a mid-pack result in Control, with the combination ranked 1134 out of 3720 tested configurations. The CPU, a Zen 3 (Cezanne) part on the AMD Socket AM4 platform, sits in the 79th percentile against all processors, while the RDNA 4.0 GPU lands in the 69th percentile against all GPUs. This pairing shows a system that is capable but not exceptional, with frame rates that scale predictably across resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1134 out of 3720 places this system in the upper-middle tier of tested configurations, meaning roughly 70% of paired setups deliver better or comparable results in Control. The CPU's average benchmark score of 27051 puts it nearly even with the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097, a delta of just -0.2%. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 trails at 26936, giving the 5700G a 0.4% lead. The Intel Core i5-14400T edges ahead at 27166, a 0.4% gap, while the Intel Core i7-1370P sits at 26900, 0.6% behind. These are tight margins, indicating the 5700G is a well-balanced processor for its generation, though not a standout.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 23877 is similarly competitive. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z scores 23736, placing the RX 9070 0.6% ahead, while the AMD Radeon RX 6800S reaches 24063, a 0.8% deficit for the 9070. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile trails at 23628, giving the RX 9070 a 1.1% edge, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER leads at 24170, 1.2% ahead. The data suggests this combo is neither a top contender nor a laggard, but rather a consistent performer that holds its own against older high-end parts.

In Control specifically, the measured FPS across all resolution and settings combinations shows a system that can handle 1080p and 1440p with ease, while 4K requires settings compromises. The rank reflects a setup that is more than adequate for the game's Action Adventure genre, where frame pacing and stability matter as much as raw peak output.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is built on the Navi 48 chip with RDNA 4.0 architecture and a 4 nm process from TSMC. It packs 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, with a transistor density of 151.0 million per square millimeter. The GPU's base clock runs at 1330 MHz, boosting to 2520 MHz, with a game clock of 2070 MHz. Memory clocks at 2518 MHz, translating to 20.1 Gbps effective. The 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Control's texture-heavy environments and physics-driven destruction.

The 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 128 ROPs provide the raw throughput, while 56 ray tracing cores handle the game's real-time reflections and lighting effects. The pixel rate of 322.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 564.5 GTexel/s indicate strong fill rates, and the FP32 performance of 36.13 TFLOPS (with FP16 at 36.13 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio) gives the card headroom for compute-heavy scenes. The GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design with 2x 8-pin power connectors suggest a power-hungry but manageable card, with a suggested PSU of 550 W.

In Control, the GPU is the primary driver of performance, as evidenced by the FPS scaling across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system hits 182 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 51 FPS, a 72% reduction that points squarely at the GPU as the limiting factor. The 16 GB VRAM is sufficient even at 4K with High settings, where the card maintains 59 FPS, and the memory bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s prevents any noticeable stutter in the game's more chaotic firefights. The GPU's percentile rank of 69 places it above average, but its nearest rivals, such as the RTX 2080 SUPER, show that it is not a generational leap, rather an incremental improvement.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals clear scaling patterns. At 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-bound at lower settings, with Low hitting 182 FPS and Ultra still managing 100 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the GPU begins to assert itself: Low drops to 137 FPS, a 24.7% reduction from 1080p, while Ultra falls to 75 FPS, a 25% drop. At 4K, the GPU becomes the sole bottleneck: Low plummets to 93 FPS, a 32.1% further reduction, and Ultra bottoms out at 51 FPS, a 32% drop from 1440p Ultra.

This scaling pattern indicates the RX 9070 is well-suited for 1440p gaming, where it delivers 87 FPS at High settings, but struggles to maintain 60 FPS at 4K with higher presets. The 1080p to 1440p transition sees an average FPS drop of roughly 25-30% across settings, while the 1440p to 4K transition sees a similar 30-35% reduction. The consistent percentage drops suggest the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are being taxed uniformly, with no single setting causing a disproportionate hit.

The data shows that at 4K, the system's 59 FPS at High settings is just below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while Medium at 66 FPS crosses it. At 1440p, all settings exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra at 75 FPS providing a comfortable margin. This makes 1440p the sweet spot for this combo, where the CPU's 16 threads and the GPU's 16 GB VRAM can be fully utilized without either component becoming a severe bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 182 FPS, Medium hits 129 FPS with minimums of 110 and maximums of 148, High reaches 115 FPS, and Ultra drops to 100 FPS. These numbers show that even at Ultra, the system is well above the 60 FPS threshold, making 1080p an effortless resolution for this combo.

At 2560x1440, the averages fall but remain strong. Low settings yield 137 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS with a range of 83 to 112, High hits 87 FPS, and Ultra settles at 75 FPS. The 1440p data indicates that High and Ultra presets are both viable, with the latter still providing a 25% headroom above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limits become apparent. Low settings manage 93 FPS, Medium averages 66 FPS with minimums of 56 and maximums of 76, High drops to 59 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51 FPS. The 4K results show that only Low and Medium settings can sustain frame rates above 60 FPS, with Medium providing a playable experience but High and Ultra requiring compromises.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers the best balance of frame rate and visual quality, with minimum FPS values that stay above 56 at 4K and above 83 at 1440p. The High preset at 4K, at 59 FPS, is borderline, while Ultra at any resolution other than 1080p is best avoided for competitive play.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p, the Ultra preset at 100 FPS is the clear choice, as the system has ample headroom to run the game at maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. The 100 FPS average is well above the 60 FPS baseline, and the GPU's 16 GB VRAM ensures no texture pop-in even in the game's most detailed areas.

For 1440p, the High preset at 87 FPS offers the best experience, balancing visual enhancements with a frame rate that is 45% higher than the 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset at 75 FPS is also viable, but the 12 FPS gap between High and Ultra may not justify the additional graphical load, especially in combat-heavy sequences where frame pacing matters.

For 4K, the Medium preset at 66 FPS is the only setting that provides a consistently smooth experience, with minimums of 56 FPS that stay just above the stutter threshold. The High preset at 59 FPS is close, but the average falls below 60, and the lack of minimum FPS data suggests potential dips. Low at 93 FPS is playable but sacrifices too much visual quality for the extra frames.

In summary, the data recommends Ultra at 1080p, High at 1440p, and Medium at 4K for the best balance of performance and image quality. Players prioritizing frame rate over visuals can drop to High at 1080p for 115 FPS or Medium at 1440p for 98 FPS, but the gains are marginal compared to the visual trade-offs.
