System Requirements
Published 2026-09-254 min read
Full PC requirements for Control: Resonant: minimum, recommended, enthusiast, ray tracing and path tracing presets, plus DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4.1 features.
Control: Resonant launches on September 24, 2026 with a 10:00 PM unlock, priced at ¥268 for the Standard Edition and ¥328 for the Deluxe Edition in the Steam China region. On the PC side the game targets every tier of hardware: the official spec sheet defines six preset configurations, from a 1080p/30 baseline all the way up to a path-traced 4K setup, and confirms uncapped frame rates, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4.1 upscaling with frame generation, DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, plus full ray tracing and path tracing support.
Baseline Setup (Every Preset)
| Requirement | Spec |
|---|---|
| Memory | 16 GB |
| Operating System | Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) |
| Storage | 120 GB SSD |
These three lines apply no matter which preset you aim for, and the 120 GB install must sit on an SSD.
Preset Targets
Each tier assumes a specific resolution, frame rate target, upscaling preset, and graphics preset. Ray tracing stays off for the three standard tiers.
| Tier | Resolution | Target FPS | Upscaling Preset | Graphics Preset | Ray Tracing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 1080p | 30 FPS | Quality | Low | Off |
| Recommended | 1440p | 60 FPS | Balanced | Medium | Off |
| Enthusiast | 2160p | 60 FPS | Performance | High | Off |
| Ray Tracing Minimum | 1080p | 30 FPS | Quality | Low | Low |
| Ray Tracing Recommended | 1440p | 60 FPS | Balanced | Medium | Medium |
| Path Tracing Enthusiast | 2160p | 60 FPS | Performance | High | High |
GPU and CPU Per Tier
| Tier | Graphics Card | VRAM | Processor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | NVIDIA GTX 1070 / AMD RX 5600 XT / Intel Arc A580 | 6 GB | Intel i5-8500 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500 |
| Recommended | NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti / AMD RX 6700 XT / Intel B580 | 8 GB | Intel i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
| Enthusiast | NVIDIA RTX 3080 / AMD RX 6800 XT | 10 GB | Intel i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
| Ray Tracing Minimum | NVIDIA RTX 2060 SUPER / AMD RX 6600 / Intel Arc A580 | 8 GB | Intel i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X |
| Ray Tracing Recommended | NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti / AMD RX 9070 | 10 GB | Intel i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
| Path Tracing Enthusiast | NVIDIA RTX 5080 | 12 GB | Intel i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
A few patterns worth noting: the same CPU pairing (i7-10700 / Ryzen 7 3700X) covers every tier from Recommended upward, so the graphics card is almost always the part that decides which preset you can run. Ray tracing at minimum settings needs 8 GB of VRAM — more than the non-RT minimum tier's 6 GB — and the top path tracing tier calls for an RTX 5080 with 12 GB.
PC Feature Support
- Uncapped frame rate
- NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4.1 upscaling, both with frame generation*
- NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction
- Ray tracing and path tracing
- HDR and ultrawide monitor support
* One caveat from the spec sheet: frame generation was not enabled while the preset targets above were being tested, so treat the FPS targets as raw rendering performance.
