On a AMD RX 580 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Control runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 37FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 580 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Control is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 37 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 47 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 27 FPS at 4K. Control offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 580 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Control at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 37 | 61 |
| 1440p | 22 | 47 |
| 4K | 12 | 27 |

🎯 Can the AMD RX 580 (4GB) run Control? See the verdict →
With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX 580 (4GB) averages around 61 FPS at 1080p in Control — up from about 37 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD RX 580 (4GB) averages roughly 47 FPS in Control; turn on upscaling or aim for a locked 60 for the best feel.
Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Volumetric Lighting and MSAA down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
