Control

Control, an Action Adventure title, appears in the benchmark database with measured FPS data for the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. The pairing is listed as rank 129 out of 1636 tested combos in Control. The measuredFps entries span three resolutions — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — and four settings: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The raw results cover a wide performance band, from 234 FPS at 1080p Low down to 67.7 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows a clear downward FPS curve as resolution increases. At Low settings, average FPS is 234 at 1080p, 180.4 at 1440p, and 123.1 at 4K. At Medium, the same progression is 168.6, 127.3, and 85. At High, it is 152, 111.5, and 75.4. At Ultra, it is 132.1, 97.9, and 67.7.

Every preset follows the same pattern: each step up in resolution produces a lower average FPS. The consistency of the decline indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions. The RTX 5070 Ti has 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and the added pixel workload at 1440p and 4K consumes more of those resources, pulling frame rates down regardless of settings.

Settings still matter independently of resolution. The Low setting at 4K produces 123.1 FPS, which is higher than the High setting at 4K at 75.4 FPS and the Ultra setting at 4K at 67.7 FPS. At 1080p, Low reaches 234 FPS, while Ultra is 132.1 FPS. This large spread between Low and Ultra within a single resolution shows that the Ultra preset places a heavy rendering load on the GPU.

The 1080p Low result is the highest in the dataset. It is the clearest evidence that the CPU is capable of pushing the system to very high frame rates when the GPU has relatively little work to do per frame. At 4K Ultra, the system still averages 67.7 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold, but the frame rate has clearly shifted into a GPU-limited zone. The overall scaling pattern is one of a strong high-resolution result that surrenders FPS quickly when resolution and settings are both maxed out.

Q: Where does this combo rank in Control?

A: The comboRankInGame field shows rank 129 out of 1636 tested combos.

Q: Are the FPS values measured or estimated?

A: Measured. The dataIsMeasured field is true, and every measuredFps record includes an avgFps value with null minFps and maxFps fields.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a 20-core, 20-thread Arrow Lake desktop processor on the Intel Socket 1851 platform. Its base clock is 3.90 GHz and its boost clock is 5.50 GHz. The shared L3 cache is 30 MB. It is built on a 3 nm TSMC process. In synthetic tests, the CPU scores 50009 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 7060 in Cinebench R23 single-core, plus 58838 in PassMark multi-thread and 4904 in PassMark single-thread. It sits at the 97th percentile among all CPUs.

These specifications line up with Control’s measured FPS behavior. The 1080p Low result of 234 FPS is the strongest number in the dataset, and it occurs when the GPU is under its lightest load. The 5.50 GHz boost clock and 7060 single-core score support high frame rate delivery in that scenario. The 1080p Medium result of 168.6 FPS and the 1080p High result of 152 FPS remain well above the 4K Ultra result of 67.7 FPS, reinforcing the point that the CPU is not the primary constraint once resolution increases.

The CPU’s nearest rival comparisons reinforce its position. The 265K’s average benchmark score of 79102 sits within -0.2 deltaPct of the Core Ultra 7 265KF and Core i9-14900KF, within -0.9 deltaPct of the Core i9-14900K, and within -1.2 deltaPct of the AMD EPYC 7413. These are small differences at the synthetic level, and they suggest that swapping among these closely matched CPUs would not dramatically alter Control’s frame delivery. The measured game results are shaped more by the GPU and the selected settings than by a CPU deficit in this combo.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame value of 129 out of 1636 places this hardware pairing near the top of the database’s tested list for Control. The CPU is at the 97th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 87th percentile among all GPUs. That combination of a very high-end processor and a high-end graphics card produces a strong measured result in this game.

The ranking is consistent with the measured FPS table. At 1440p Ultra, the combo averages 97.9 FPS. At 4K Ultra, it averages 67.7 FPS. The 4K Low result is 123.1 FPS, which is higher than the 1080p Ultra result of 132.1 FPS? No, it is lower, but it is still a high frame rate for 4K. The dataIsMeasured flag is true, so this rank is based on actual recorded runs rather than estimates. The rank also reflects the wide margin between this system’s performance and the trailing edge of the 1636-combo field; the measured FPS numbers remain above playable thresholds even in the heaviest tested configuration.
