Control is an action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. Control was released on 27 August 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Northlight Engine. We test using the High preset, with 4x MSAA, DX12 API.

Control is the polar opposite of what we saw from AC Valhalla. At 1080p, the RX 6700 XT is 3FPS slower than the RTX 3060 Ti, averaging 109FPS. That makes it 16% slower than the RTX 3070, and 20% slower than its big brother, the RX 6800. Quite the turnaround!

As for 1440p, the 6700 XT is still very playable here, averaging 70FPS, but that makes it 3% slower than the RTX 3060 Ti – a GPU which should cost about £50 less, based on MSRP prices at least.
