Control is an action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. Control was released on 27 August 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Northlight Engine. We test using the High preset, with 4x MSAA, DX12 API.

Moving from one AMD-sponsored title to one sponsored by Nvidia, and the RX 6600 XT delivers an average of 81FPS in Control, at 1080p. That does make it fractionally slower than the RTX 3060 here, but realistically there's no difference between either of those GPUs, or the RX 5700 XT and 2060 Super, as they're all within a couple of frames of each other.

Up at 1440p though, the 6600 XT does fall away from the RTX 3060 slightly, where it is now 7% slower. It's not a massive difference by any means, but the RX 6600 XT doesn't look as strong as it did at 1080p.
