Here we revisit Control, this time testing with the in-game ray tracing effects set to their highest values.

RTX 3060 is designed as a 1080p GPU, and that is particularly the case when looking at ray tracing. In Control, the performance with RT set to high is respectable, averaging 54FPS at 1080p. That's a 39% reduction in FPS compared to playing with ray tracing disabled, although there is also the option to enable DLSS 2.0 (which we look at later). We do see the RTX 3060 coming closer to the RTX 2070 Super however, as they are effectively matched at 1080p.
