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

At 1080p expect around 61 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 44 FPS with optimized settings. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. Control doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
