Control Lost Benchmark on a Mac

-Control Ultimate Edition is here and Apple Silicon will finally be put to the test! This title recently debuted on the Mac App Store on March 27, 2025 alongside Wuthering Waves which is why we're also checking it out.

Please note:
1) This game's Ultra graphical settings are not for the faint of heart. I had to make a small concession just to maintain a playable frame rate for recording:
-Metal FX is enabled meaning the upscaling is achieved using artificially generated frames set to a base resolution of 1280x800 upscaled to 2560x1600.

2) That said, all remaining graphics presets are set to Ultra including the ray tracing preset!
-Ray Traced Reflections
-Ray Traced Transparent Reflections
-Ray Traced Indirect Diffuse Lighting
-Ray Traced Contact Shadows
-Ray Traced Debris
-Ray Tracing Samples Count: 3

Note: The sample count will have a substantial impact on overall performance so I kept that to the default 3 assigned by the Ultra preset.
-The final presentation is stunning. At times, I couldn't help but notice how incredibly detailed the lighting is rendered especially diffused lighting through transparent surfaces like windows.

3) The MetalFX Performance HUD does indicate a large number of frame-time spikes and hitches going on in the background however, while playing it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the game. V-sync was switched off during this test.

4) This is my first time playing Control so I hope you don't mind my awkward clumsiness while navigating throughout the game world.

5) Please note that this is version 1.33.1 of Control Ultimate Edition.

-Operating System: Mac OS Sequoia 15.4
-2023 M3 Max MacBook Pro
-RAM: 32gb
