Control Ultimate Edition Recommended Requirements

Can I run Control on PC?

Updated February 11, 2021 By Cliff Henjum Control, one of the greatest games of 2020, is now on sale on Steam for 40% off for the next few days. It is an incredible and visually-stunning adventure which means that Control also has some higher than average system requirements. The minimum CPU and GPU requirements for Control are set at the Intel Core i5-4690 and an AMD FX-4350 alongside either a GeForce GTX 780 or a Radeon R9 280X. In addition to these hardware specs, your rig will also need at least 8 GB of RAM. In order to max out the graphics on Control, you’ll have to double that amount of RAM to at least 16 GB. The recommended CPU models are set at an Intel Core i5-7600K and an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, while the necessary GPU models are set at a GeForce GTX 1060 and a Radeon RX 580. Control also offers Ray Tracing support which requires at least a GeForce RTX 2060.

Nominated and winner of a ton of awards, the supernatural action-adventure game, Control, still has the PC gaming world buzzing about its awesomeness. Many PC gamers are still wondering if their computer can run Control and, if so, on what graphics settings. The game is built on Remedy’s Northlight Engine - the same engine that was used to make Quantum Break. In Control, you play as Jesse Faden who wields the Service Weapon which can be altered in a supernatural way to adapt to a number of situations. After the Oldest House is invaded by the hostile Hiss, it is up to Jesse and the other agents to fight back against the otherworldly enemies. The game plays out beautifully and has some amazing graphics so it makes sense that it has some fairly high system requirements to match it. If you want to be able to run Control on at least Low settings, then you will need a computer that passes the minimum system requirements test.

Control is one of those games that probably should only be played on the highest of settings, but that’s not always feasible for all computers, and it still deserves to be played by everyone. Passing the minimum system requirements by a hair basically means you’ll be able to run it, but with the graphics settings turned down a fair amount in order to maintain a solid frames per second. The specs needed to run Control are fairly similar to RAGE 2 so if you’ve played that already, you’re probably in good shape. Specifically, your rig will need at least a GeForce GTX 780 or a Radeon R9 280X for a video card. Additionally, it will also need a CPU that’s at least as powerful as an Intel Core i5-4690 or an AMD FX-4350. To top it all off, your PC should also have 8 GB of system RAM (or more). But as mentioned earlier, this is a game that has really impressive graphics and visuals, so you may want to be able to pass the recommended requirements as well.

The recommended requirements for Control are on par with a lot of other games that released in the last two years. In fact, its GPU requirement is the exact same as games like DAEMON X MACHINA and Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. Remedy states that your PC should have at least a GeForce GTX 1060 or a Radeon RX 580 if you want to max out the settings on Control. They even left a little note saying that the GeForce RTX 2060 will enable you to play with Ray Tracing on. For your CPU, you should have at least an Intel Core i5-7600K or an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X in order to pass the recommended CPU test. If you have hardware that’s at or above those levels, then the only thing left is having 16 GB of system RAM and you are on your way to playing one of the best games in the last few years, Control.
