GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 serves as the primary performance driver in this configuration, and its memory subsystem is particularly relevant to Control's demanding visuals. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This capacity proves sufficient for the game's texture-heavy environments, as evidenced by the consistent scaling from 1080p to 1440p where the frame rate drops by roughly 25% at each quality tier despite the 77% increase in pixel count.

The clock architecture shows a base frequency of 1920 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, while memory runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective throughput. These clocks allow the GPU to deliver 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which translates directly into the measured frame rates. At 1920x1080, the GPU achieves 122 FPS on High settings and 106 FPS on Ultra, indicating that the Ada Lovelace architecture handles the game's physics and particle effects without strain. The 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores are present but not explicitly benchmarked in the measured FPS data, so their impact remains qualitative.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 81 against all GPUs confirms its position as a high-end part, and its synthetic scores reinforce this. The PassMark G3D score of 26927 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 154858 both sit well above average, with the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 showing strong DirectX 12 performance. This matters for Control, which leverages modern rendering features. The 64 ROPs and 184 TMUs provide ample pixel throughput (158.4 GPixel/s) and texture rate (455.4 GTexel/s), which explains why the GPU maintains playable frame rates even at 3840x2160.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals a clear recommendation hierarchy for this combo, with the optimal setting depending on the user's display resolution. At 1920x1080, High settings deliver 122 FPS average, which is the best balance of visual quality and performance since Ultra only reduces the frame rate to 106 FPS while Medium sits at 137 FPS. For users prioritizing maximum frame rates at this resolution, Low achieves 193 FPS, but the 71 FPS jump from High to Low comes at a significant visual cost.

For 2560x1440 owners, High settings at 92 FPS represent the recommended choice, as this preset maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while preserving the game's atmospheric lighting and shadow quality. Medium settings at 104 FPS provide a safer buffer for demanding scenes, but the data shows High remains well within playable territory. Ultra at 80 FPS is also viable for those who want maximum fidelity, though the 12 FPS drop from High may not justify the visual uplift in all scenarios.

At 3840x2160, the recommendations become more conservative. Medium settings average 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS, making it the only 4K preset that consistently stays near the 60 FPS target. High settings average 62 FPS but lack reported minimum frame data, suggesting potential dips below the threshold. Ultra at 54 FPS falls short of ideal smoothness, while Low at 98 FPS sacrifices too much visual quality for the 4K resolution to be meaningful. The measured data therefore points to Medium as the best 4K experience, with High as an acceptable alternative for users tolerant of occasional frame drops.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The CPU's base clock of 3.80 GHz boosts to 4.60 GHz, and it features 16 MB of L3 cache alongside 512 KB of L2 cache per core. This configuration delivers strong multi-threaded performance, as shown by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12830.5 and PassMark multithread score of 24419.

For Control, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and handle game logic. The single-thread performance, measured at 899 in 3DMark single-thread and 1494 in Cinebench R23 single-core, proves adequate for the game's engine. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1758 and 4-thread score of 3389 demonstrate that the CPU scales well with the limited thread counts typical of game workloads. The 8-thread score of 5648 and max-thread score of 6627 indicate that additional cores do not provide diminishing returns until beyond 8 threads.

The memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s from dual-channel DDR4 support is sufficient for this game, as the measured FPS data shows no memory-related bottleneck. The CPU's PassMark physics score of 999 and floating-point math score of 51296 suggest robust computational ability for physics calculations, which Control uses extensively for destructible environments. The 65W TDP and unlocked multiplier allow for potential overclocking headroom, though the stock configuration already achieves the measured results.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data spans three resolutions and four quality settings, providing a comprehensive view of the combo's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the system achieves its highest performance: Low settings produce 193 FPS average, Medium reaches 137 FPS with a minimum of 116 FPS and maximum of 157 FPS, High delivers 122 FPS, and Ultra maintains 106 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 45% reduction in frame rate, which is typical for a GPU-bound title.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops proportionally: Low averages 146 FPS, Medium averages 104 FPS with a range of 88-119 FPS, High averages 92 FPS, and Ultra averages 80 FPS. The 1440p results show a similar 45% reduction from Low to Ultra, confirming that the GPU remains the limiting factor. The Medium preset's minimum of 88 FPS indicates that even demanding scenes stay comfortably above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to struggle with the highest quality settings: Low averages 98 FPS, Medium averages 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS and maximum of 80 FPS, High averages 62 FPS, and Ultra drops to 54 FPS. The 4K Medium result is particularly notable because it provides the only reported minimum frame rate above 55 FPS at this resolution, suggesting that High and Ultra may experience more pronounced dips. The 4K Low result of 98 FPS shows that the GPU has significant headroom when visual quality is reduced, but the resolution's pixel count ultimately limits the highest settings.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently provides the best balance of performance and visual quality, with the 1080p and 1440p results showing minimum frame rates that stay well above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p and 1440p remains playable, but the 4K Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The data overall demonstrates that this combo excels at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, while 4K requires Medium or High settings for acceptable performance.
