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.

Our first game of the day is Control, and this is actually the most demanding title in our test suite. At 1440p, the RTX 3070 averages 75FPS, putting it just 1% behind the RTX 2080 Ti, but compared to the RTX 2070, it comes in significant 56% faster.

As for 4K, the RTX 3070 holds above 30FPS at all times, so it is certainly playable but not the smoothest of experiences. It is, however, exactly a match for the 2080 Ti at this resolution, and holds a huge 65% lead over the RTX 2070.
