CONTROL Resonant needs 16GB RAM and 100GB storage at both official PC tiers. Minimum graphics are GTX 1070 or RX 5600 XT 6GB; recommended moves to RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT 8GB. Remedy gives no resolution or frame-rate target.
The official CONTROL Resonant PC requirements now provide a useful hardware floor, but they still need careful reading. Minimum names a GTX 1070 or RX 5600 XT with 6GB VRAM, while recommended moves to an RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT with 8GB. Remedy does not attach a resolution, graphics preset or frame-rate target to either tier.
Spend R0 if the current PC already meets the recommended list: Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent, 16GB RAM, RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT 8GB, and 100GB free storage. Minimum is Core i5-8500 or AMD equivalent with 16GB RAM and GTX 1070 or RX 5600 XT 6GB. Compare pre-built gaming PCs only when several components fall short.
The minimum table lists 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, Core i5-8500 or AMD equivalent, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070 or RX 5600 XT with 6GB VRAM, and 100GB available storage. Recommended keeps 16GB RAM and 100GB storage while moving to Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent and RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT with 8GB VRAM.
These names define eligibility, not an automatic preset. The table does not say that minimum equals 1080p Low or that recommended equals 1440p High. Remedy lists path tracing and DLSS 4.5 for PC, but neither feature proves that path tracing must be enabled or that one of the named GPUs will hold a particular frame rate with it active.
The sequel uses Dylan Faden and shifts the series toward an action-adventure RPG structure in a more open Manhattan. A larger play space can stress CPU, storage and graphics differently from the Oldest House, but that is a planning observation, not a measured performance claim.
Record the exact processor, graphics card, VRAM, installed memory, Windows version and free storage. Compare each line separately. A PC with adequate graphics but an older processor may need a platform decision, while a balanced recent processor paired with a card below minimum is more likely to benefit from a focused graphics upgrade.
Update the graphics driver close to release rather than repeatedly changing drivers weeks early. The official table lists 100GB available storage. Leave additional working room for downloading, unpacking, patches and shader data instead of filling the game drive to its final few gigabytes.
Path tracing is optional visual ambition, not the baseline. Prepare one profile aimed at stable native or upscaled raster performance, then a second that experiments with ray or path tracing. If DLSS 4.5 is available on compatible hardware, test image quality and latency alongside the frame-rate result instead of reading an FPS counter alone.
Use the in-game benchmark if one ships. Otherwise choose a repeatable combat route with effects and traversal, record frame times, and change one setting family at a time. Readers considering a GPU after confirmed testing can compare graphics card specials.
Set a maximum amount you are willing to spend, but keep the component choice tied to evidence. If only the GPU misses the official tier, replace only that part after confirming power and case clearance. If the processor, platform and graphics card are all below the line, a balanced system from the NVIDIA gaming PC selection may be simpler.
Retail-build tests will reveal the real resolution and frame rate attached to each tier, driver behaviour, VRAM demand and the cost of optional path tracing. The official requirements are enough for a readiness audit, but not for promising a specific preset.
Minimum lists Core i5-8500 or AMD equivalent, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070 or RX 5600 XT 6GB, and 100GB storage on Windows 10 or 11.
Remedy schedules it for 24 September 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X or S.
Yes. Remedy's media index confirms path tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 for the PC launch.
The RTX 4060 is not named in either tier. Compare its capabilities with the listed GPUs, then use measured retail-build results before assigning a preset.
The official table lists 100GB available storage. Leave extra working room for installation, patches and shader data.
Ready to face Manhattan without buying blind? Compare every component with the official tiers, protect a sensible Rand ceiling, and upgrade only the part that falls below the requirement you plan to target.
Minimum lists Core i5-8500 or AMD equivalent, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070 or RX 5600 XT 6GB, and 100GB storage on Windows 10 or 11.
The recommended list names GeForce RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6700 XT with 8GB VRAM.
Remedy schedules CONTROL Resonant for 24 September 2026 on Steam, Epic Games Store and GeForce NOW.
Yes. Remedy's official media index states that the PC launch includes path tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 4.5.
The RTX 4060 is not named in either official tier. Compare it carefully with the listed GPUs and wait for measured retail-build results.
Yes. The current minimum and recommended PC tables both list 100GB of available storage.
