Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Control Resonant is the direct sequel to Remedy Entertainment’s 2019 title, Control. It expands the universe into a partially open-world Manhattan, featuring new protagonist Dylan Faden battling cosmic threats with unique abilities and a shapeshifting weapon.
Control Resonant pushes graphical boundaries with advanced features like full ray tracing and path tracing, combined with high-fidelity environments and particle effects. These technologies require significant processing power, making it a benchmark for modern graphics cards, even high-end models like the RTX 5080.
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) 4.5 utilizes AI to render the game at a lower resolution and then intelligently upscales it to a higher resolution, significantly boosting frame rates without a substantial loss in visual quality. This allows players to experience demanding features like path tracing at playable frame rates, especially at 4K resolution.
