Best Control settings for the AMD RX 6600 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 6600 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Control runs at roughly 83 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 83FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6600 XT is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Control is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 83 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 83 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. Control supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 6600 XT can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 8GB 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.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
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.
MSAAOffbaseline
Hardware edge smoothing - very heavy in this game. Leave Off and rely on the cheaper filtering AA.
Volumetric LightingMediumbaseline
God rays and dusty light shafts - core to the eerie Oldest House look but a real cost. Medium is a clean trade.
Screen Space ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Reflections on the building's many shiny floors. Medium is plenty without ray tracing.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a clean trade.
Global ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Cheaper baked reflections for the whole scene. Medium is plenty.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Cheap; leave On.
Texture ResolutionHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
