Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about a GTX 1660 Super or RX 580; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 54 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
CONTROL Ultimate Edition recommends a Core i5-7600K or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for CONTROL Ultimate Edition, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
Not stated
The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.
Settings to lower first in CONTROL Ultimate Edition
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where CONTROL Ultimate Edition offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality last: it costs little frame rate as long as your card has enough video memory.
