The main differences lie in how all that chaotic debris gets lit. You can see how each ray tracing effect looks in my separate Control RTX ray tracing guide, but here's how the regular quality presets all stack up against each other:Īs you can see, they're all pretty similar in terms of object detail and overall density. I stuck with the game's three main quality presets (Low, Medium and High) for my tests, as well as their default Medium and High presets for the cards that support ray tracing.

Control PC performance: how to get the best settings The Dead Letters room, meanwhile, is an even more cavernous space for graphics cards to deal with, plus there are lots of stairs, lighting effects and things to look at.

I think it offers a pretty decent slice of how the game functions, though, as the Cafeteria is a large room that's not only prone to regular Hiss attacks, but it's also full of destructible chairs and tables and bits of furniture. Control doesn't have its own built-in benchmark, unfortunately, so I had to improvise with a route of my own devising. To test each card, I recorded the minimum and maximum frame rates I saw when I was guiding the game's main protagonist Jesse Faden through the game's Cafeteria and Dead Letters areas. That's because this game is as tough as old boots when it comes to performance, especially if you want to make the most of its RTX support. Admittedly, very few GPUs will be able to manage the latter, and even some of today's top high-end cards will struggle to run it at 1440p.

With every graphics card I tested here, I paired it with an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, 16GB of RAM, plus all the latest Windows 10 and graphics drivers installed.Īs with all my graphics card tests, the aim here is to get Control running at a smooth 60fps at 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and 4K. Medium is still more than playable at that resolution, I should add, but in both cases you're looking at average frame rates somewhere in the region of 45-50fps as opposed to that sweet 60fps - and that's with a pretty up to date PC, too. What Remedy don't mention, however, is what kind of performance their minimum and recommended specs are actually aiming for, as I've found in my testing that even the recommended GTX 1060 and RX 580 GPUs aren't really capable of hitting a consistent 60fps at 1920x1080 unless the quality's on Low. GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 or better GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 / AMD Radeon R9 280XĬPU: Intel Core i5-7500 / AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or better Below are said mini-fridge specs, which are still the latest and most up to date PC requirements for Control, and at first glance it all looks like pretty standard stuff. Control's PC requirements have had a rather unusual journey over the past couple of months, first stating you needed a PC with as much heft as one of its creepy Object of Power fridges to get the game running, before taking it all back a month later and saying you only needed a mini-fridge-sized PC instead. But first, some minimum and recommended specs.
