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.
