Best Control settings for the AMD RX 6400 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6400 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Control runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 29FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6400 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 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 37 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 21 FPS at 4K. Control offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 6400 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.

💡 Control: A flagship ray-tracing showcase - RT is gorgeous but very heavy; pair it with DLSS.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Control (Northlight engine) supports DLSS - a major boost that makes ray tracing far more playable.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Control is a flagship ray-tracing showcase (reflections, indirect lighting, contact shadows, debris). Gorgeous but by far the heaviest option - turn it on only with DLSS and plenty of headroom.
Volumetric LightingLow+8% FPS
God rays and dusty light shafts - core to the eerie Oldest House look but a real cost. Medium is a clean trade.
Screen Space ReflectionsOff+7% FPS
Reflections on the building's many shiny floors. Medium is plenty without ray tracing.
Shadow QualityLow+7% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a clean trade.
Global ReflectionsOff+5% FPS
Cheaper baked reflections for the whole scene. Medium is plenty.
Ambient OcclusionOff+4% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. Cheap; leave On.
MSAAOffbaseline
Hardware edge smoothing - very heavy in this game. Leave Off and rely on the cheaper filtering AA.
Texture ResolutionHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
