Can the NVIDIA RTX 3050 (6GB) run Control? (2026)

✅ Yes

~64 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 (6GB) is a entry-level card with 6GB of VRAM, and Control is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 64 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 48 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	48	64
1440p	29	61
4K	16	34

💡 Control: A flagship ray-tracing showcase - RT is gorgeous but very heavy; pair it with DLSS.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 64 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 34 FPS with optimized settings. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
