This tight cluster indicates the 5700G provides performance squarely in line with mid-range mobile and workstation processors, which is more than adequate for feeding the RTX 5070 Ti in Control.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 Ti brings substantial resources to Control, featuring 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 8,960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output pipelines provide the raw throughput needed for the game's particle effects and destructible environments. With 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores, the card is well-equipped for any ray-traced workloads Control might present.

The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, while the GPU core operates between a 2295 MHz base and 2452 MHz boost clock. This Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on TSMC's 5 nm process with 45,600 million transistors, delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The 686.6 GTexel/s texture rate and 235.4 GPixel/s pixel rate suggest ample headroom for high-resolution texture work.

In Control specifically, the GPU's influence is evident in the scaling between settings presets. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra drops average FPS from 221.9 to 127.5 — a 42.5% reduction. This substantial performance cost for higher visual fidelity indicates the game's rendering features, such as volumetric lighting and physics-based debris, heavily tax the GPU's shading and rasterization capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data reveals a clear hierarchy of playable settings across resolutions. At 4K, Ultra settings produce 64.5 FPS average, which is playable but leaves little margin for demanding scenes. High settings at 4K increase the average to 74.3 FPS, while Medium reaches 84.5 FPS, and Low jumps dramatically to 119 FPS.

For 1440p, Ultra delivers 100.7 FPS, which is already smooth for most players. High settings at 110.6 FPS and Medium at 125.5 FPS both offer excellent experiences. The 176.2 FPS at Low settings makes this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate displays, though the visual compromise may be significant.

At 1080p, even Ultra maintains 127.5 FPS, making this resolution capable of driving 120Hz+ displays with maximum settings. High settings at 147.3 FPS, Medium at 167.9 FPS, and Low at 221.9 FPS all provide exceptional smoothness. The data suggests that High or Ultra at 1080p and 1440p, or High at 4K, offer the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the performance envelope spans from 221.9 FPS at Low settings to 127.5 FPS at Ultra. The progression shows a 50.2 FPS difference between Low and Medium (167.9 FPS), a 20.6 FPS difference between Medium and High (147.3 FPS), and a 19.8 FPS difference between High and Ultra. This pattern indicates diminishing returns as settings increase, with each step costing roughly 10-15% performance.

The 2560x1440 results demonstrate a similar shape but with lower absolute values. Low settings produce 176.2 FPS, Medium reaches 125.5 FPS, High achieves 110.6 FPS, and Ultra settles at 100.7 FPS. The gap between Medium and High here is 14.9 FPS, while the High-to-Ultra difference narrows to 9.9 FPS, suggesting the resolution increase amplifies the cost of higher-quality textures and effects.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly. Low settings still manage 119 FPS, but Medium falls to 84.5 FPS, High to 74.3 FPS, and Ultra to 64.5 FPS. The 4K resolution demands roughly 46-50% more GPU throughput than 1440p at equivalent settings, reflecting the pixel count increase from 3.7 million to 8.3 million pixels.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G features 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 Cezanne architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. With a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, this CPU provides solid single-thread performance as evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,930.

The processor's multi-threaded capabilities are substantial for a desktop APU. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20,755 and Geekbench multicore score of 8,970 demonstrate adequate throughput for feeding the RTX 5070 Ti in Control. The 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide sufficient data flow for game assets.

In Control, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, given that FPS drops more steeply from 1080p to 1440p than from 1440p to 4K at equivalent settings. The 5700G's PCIe Gen 3 interface (16 lanes) provides enough bandwidth for the RTX 5070 Ti's PCIe 5.0 x16 connection, though the older standard may slightly limit data transfer in CPU-bound scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU-bound nature of this configuration. At High settings, average FPS moves from 147.3 at 1080p to 110.6 at 1440p (a 24.9% drop) and then to 74.3 at 4K (a 32.8% further drop). This pattern shows increasingly severe performance penalties as pixel count grows, with 4K demanding over twice the GPU throughput of 1080p.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 221.9 FPS at 1080p drops to 176.2 at 1440p (20.6% decrease) and then to 119 at 4K (32.5% decrease). The consistent ~20% drop from 1080p to 1440p across all settings suggests the GPU remains the limiting factor even at lower quality presets, as the pixel count increase from 2.1 million to 3.7 million pixels directly impacts rendering load.

The Ultra settings curve shows the tightest relationship: 127.5 FPS at 1080p, 100.7 at 1440p, and 64.5 at 4K. The 4K-to-1080p ratio of 0.51 (64.5/127.5) indicates that Control's most demanding settings nearly halve performance when quadrupling pixel count. This behavior is consistent with a GPU-heavy title where the RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB frame buffer and 256-bit memory interface are pushed to their limits at 4K Ultra, while the Ryzen 7 5700G's 8 cores provide sufficient CPU throughput to avoid becoming the primary constraint.
