Performance Analysis
At 1080p high, our model places AMD RX 6700 XT near 57 FPS in Control. At 1440p, that typically translates to around 42 FPS with similar quality targets. This places the card in the mid tier for this title, with a playable experience profile. AMD RX 6700 XT can run Control reliably, but smart setting choices matter for consistency.
Control uses Remedy's Northlight engine with advanced global illumination, real-time ray tracing support, and highly detailed destructible environments that place significant load on both CPU and GPU. The game's physics simulation, particle effects, and dynamic destruction require a capable CPU for game logic alongside GPU bandwidth for rendering. Ray tracing support via NVIDIA RTX hardware pushes GPU requirements substantially higher for those wanting enhanced lighting and reflections.
AMD RX 6700 XT supports FSR 3 with Fluid Motion Frames in compatible titles. When Control supports FSR 3, Fluid Motion Frames can significantly boost the perceived frame rate on top of the base estimate shown above.
- Use low/competitive settings and performance upscaling to keep gameplay smooth.
- Keep ray tracing disabled for stable FPS.
- Disable ray tracing and lower effects density
AMD RX 6700 XT lands in a playable position for Control. Dialing in the right preset makes a noticeable difference at this performance level.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Control support ray tracing on AMD GPUs?
- No, ray tracing in Control is exclusive to NVIDIA RTX-series GPUs. AMD GPU users can still play the game at high quality settings but without real-time ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections.
- Why does Control run poorly even on high-end hardware without optimization?
- Control is known for being demanding due to its dense particle systems, physics-based destruction, and global illumination. Enabling ray tracing without DLSS can cut frame rates by 50% or more, so NVIDIA DLSS is highly recommended when using RTX cards to recover performance while maintaining image quality.
