It goes without saying that you will need a GeForce RTX card for Ray-Tracing and the Control System Requirements reflect just that, with a minimum of a GeForce RTX 2060 required, while the recommended is the extremely powerful (and expensive) GeForce RTX 2080.
Check out the Control System Requirements including Ray-Tracing requirements below as per the game’s Epic Games Store page.
Minimum Requirements
- OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i5-7500 / AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or better
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD RX580 or better
- For Ray-Tracing: GeForce RTX 2060
- RAM: 8 GB
- DirectX: DX11

Recommended Requirements

As you can see, you will need a beast of a PC with a very powerful graphics card to get the most out of Control, but the minimum without Ray-Tracing does look managable for a gaming PC built in the last four years or so.
Control is set to release on 27 August 2019 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
