Control Resonant’s 1080p Minimum Already Assumes an Upscaler

Every one of Remedy's six requirement tiers carries an upscaler preset, including the GTX 1070 minimum, and nothing in the table asks past 12GB of VRAM.

Remedy ships native FSR 4 and frame generation in Alan Wake 2, Bethesda closes the years-old Steam Deck keyboard crash in Fallout 4, and Proton Experimental clears another batch of input bugs.
With memory prices high and no new mainstream GPU worth queuing for, the gains this cycle landed in drivers and tools, not silicon: FSR 4.1 reaching older Radeon cards, driver strings hinting at 8x frame generation, and an Afterburner heatmap that shows where a GPU really runs on its voltage/frequency curve.

The RTX 50 series pairs a real feature jump, GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, DisplayPort 2.1, and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, with a node that did not change and a launch that went sideways on connectors and missing ROPs. This guide maps the whole Blackwell stack and what each name actually buys.

The RTX 40 lineup is bigger and messier than it looks: a renamed card, a mid-cycle SUPER refresh, and a laptop naming scheme that hides very different silicon behind familiar numbers. This guide maps the whole Ada Lovelace stack so you can tell what each name actually buys.
