On a NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Control runs at roughly 78 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 78FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) 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 78 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 78 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 56 FPS at 4K. Control supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 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 DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 78 | 78 |
| 1440p | 47 | 64 |
| 4K | 27 | 56 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) averages around 78 FPS at 1080p in Control — up from about 78 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) averages roughly 64 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.
