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.

After a good start in Borderlands 3, Control brings the RX 6800 down a peg or two. At 1440p it averages 78FPS which is basically on par with both the RTX 3070 and RTX 2080 Ti. It is fractionally faster, yes, but not by any meaningful amount.

At 4K, the margins shrink further and we can see the RX 6800 holding a 3% lead over the 2080 Ti and the 3070. It's a difference of a single frame, so we'd call that a definite tie.
