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.

Moving from one AMD-sponsored title to an Nvidia-sponsored title, it's perhaps not too surprising to see the 6800 XT falling a little behind the RTX 3080 in Control. At 1440p, it is 12% slower than the 3080, but still manages to hold a 16% lead over the RTX 3070.

When testing at 4K, things do look a little worse for the 6800 XT, as it is now 17% slower than the RTX 3080, and 13% faster than the RTX 3070.
