On a NVIDIA RTX 4050 (laptop, 6GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Control runs at roughly 77 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 57FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 4050 (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Control is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 77 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 57 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 77 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 41 FPS at 4K. Control supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4050 (laptop, 6GB) 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 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Control at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 57 | 77 |
| 1440p | 34 | 62 |
| 4K | 19 | 41 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the NVIDIA RTX 4050 (laptop, 6GB) averages around 77 FPS at 1080p in Control — up from about 57 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the NVIDIA RTX 4050 (laptop, 6GB) averages roughly 62 FPS in Control — a smooth experience.
Turn on DLSS (Quality), 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.
