  "account": "Control Resonant, the latest installment in Remedy Entertainment's Control series, takes players into the twisted Manhattan cityscape to find Jesse Faden, who has gone missing, and combat the Hiss threat that has corrupted the city. Featuring advanced rendering technologies like Nvidia's RTX Mega Geometry tech and DLSS 4.5 features, Resonant showcases impressive visual quality, even without ray tracing or DLSS Ray Reconstruction enabled. However, the game's character models, such as Dylan, Zoe, and Langston, appear less detailed compared to past Remedy titles, which may detract from the overall immersion. The game's performance varies significantly depending on the hardware used, with higher-end GPUs like the RTX 5090 capable of maintaining a 60 FPS average at 4K, while weaker cards may require downscaling or upscaling to achieve a smooth experience.",
  "summary": "Control Resonant's warped Manhattan cityscape pushes graphics cards to the max thanks to path-traced lighting effects and full support for Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 technologies. We put it to the test to see how it performs on 28 graphics cards from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel.",
