Best Control settings for the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Control runs at roughly 19 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 9FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Control is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 19 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 9 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 19 FPS at 1080p and 12 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 7 FPS at 4K. Control offers ray tracing, but the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Control at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS 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 XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+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.
