On a AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Control runs at roughly 68 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 67FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Control is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 68 FPSwith 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 112 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. Control supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 112 | 112 |
| 1440p | 67 | 68 |
| 4K | 38 | 65 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) averages around 68 FPS at 1440p in Control — up from about 67 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) averages roughly 68 FPS in Control — a smooth experience.
Use a balanced preset, keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like MSAA and Volumetric Lighting 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.
