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 onto Control, this Nvidia-sponsored title sees the RTX 3060 beating out both the RX 5700 and 5700 XT when testing at 1080p, as it hits 88FPS on average. That's a 22% uplift compared to both the RTX 2060 and RX 5700.

As for 1440p, it's still very playable with an average of 56FPS, and that's 10% faster than AMD's RX 5700 XT. The gains compared to the RTX 2060 do also increase as the pixel count goes up, with the RTX 3060 now 27% faster.
