This PC build will rival a PS5 Pro... and it's roughly the same price

The PS5 Pro price announcement has caused quite a stir, so here's a gaming PC build you might want to go for instead

[TheNamelessOne]

But, but, but ... you need to pay 2-3 times as much as a console for the same performance /s

[BeHunted]

You also need a subscription to play online on PlayStation, which is free on PC, with cheaper games and free weekly games on Epic Game Store, Humble Bundle, etc. If you're subscribed to Amazon Prime: Free Games.

Everything is cheaper on PC. At least you don't need to replace the CPU or RAM. Every generation, you can replace the GPU for the same price as a PlayStation 5 Pro.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Please be quiet you’re making to much sense…

[fr0sty]

The same people that say "At least you don't need to replace the CPU or RAM when you upgrade your PC" are the same people saying "PS5 Pro is gonna suck because they didn't replace the CPU or RAM!".

This build is comparing a 6 core CPU to an 8 core in Pro, a PCI-E x4 SSD with a max 5,150MBps read and 4,900MBps write to PS5 Pro's SSD with 8-9 GB/s thanks to its dedicated hardware compressor/decompressor, the Radeon GPU lacks the RDNA4 raytracing features found in Pro, it costs as much as a Pro with a 4K Blu-Ray drive added on but it doesn't have a disc drive, and they didn't include the price of the operating system or a keyboard, mouse, and controller.

This isn't even considering PSSR, 3D audio, or haptic feedback that are missing from this PC build.

This is a ridiculous comparison... Sorry PCMR, you're going to have to try harder than that.

[CrimsonIdol]

You can absolutely compare a 6 core desktop CPU to the PS5 CPU, especially one that outperforms a PS5 in both single AND multithreaded performance in spite of the core differential.

[Babadook7]

fr0sty making more sense than the PC faithful here.

PC games are more expensive unless you pirate. I'm shocked at how PC guys continually don't get that physical media bought used and or sold used is a cheaper option. PC never competes on a tight budget. And the tweaking is not for most people either.

[Neofire]

Exactly @Frosty, simple minded people will at the article at face value and not read it and anyone who reads will see what they did and the false equivalencies they are using.

[Loktai]

@CrimsonIdol When you begin to look at bandwidth between the CPU and GPU, ram speed, etc the argument falls apart. You also need to look at things like system overhead and APIs - console APIs in general tend to yield a few percent performance difference.... that few percent is near equivalent to moving up one model of hardware for all but feature set purposes. You cant build a PC that'll match a base PS5 for 450- the extra couple hundred bucks are not going to make the PC keep up with a PS5.... Digital Foundry themselves say the closest to PS5 pro in raw performance comparison on PC is a 4070...The PS5 pro is going to include a controller ( which is over 50 bucks, so please include that in your PC cost) so the base system cost is 650. If you think you can build the rest of the PC behind the 4070 including a gig or two of 5gbps storage for 100 dollars be my guest.

[Babadook7]

"But, but, but ... you need to pay 2-3 times as much as a console for the same performance /s"

It's actually true. These builds are never as cheap and/or powerful as the console they claim to compete with.

In this case the GPU is a gen behind, does not compete with upscaling (PSSR) nor raytracing nor video ram. The SSD is less than half the performance. You'd have to add a few things like windows and a controller.

[CrimsonIdol]

While I'd largely agree that you pay an extra couple hundred to put a better PC together, Thanks to the extra $200US premium you pay to buy it in Australia you can put together an RTX 4070 system for less that's absolutely going to be better for gaming performance than a PS5. RT will be better. An SSD matters for loads, not having the absolute fastest doesn't matter nearly as much as you think. It's great the PS5 has all but removed the HDD bottleneck for loading, this ends shifting the bottleneck to the next thing: the CPU. after all, the game generally has to do something with that data. While it's a great idea to shift the streaming and compression to a dedicated bit of kit in practice, rarely if ever do multiplat titles actually load faster on PS5 to PC, even when the PC has Gen 3 NVMe. In fact as DF proved, even on the PS5 the fast SSD doesn't actually make any difference compared to if the PS5 SSD is forced to run at gen 3 speeds.

[Babadook7]

DF said a lot of BS about PS5s SSD before it launched. PC ended up with massive issues with compilation stutter that still effects many games to this day. Only recently did DF sheepishly admit the PS5s lightning quick IO was actually not handled the same on the PC side. Furthermore SSD is about more than load times. Load times are only a nice bonus. It's about asset management in game for next gen engines. UE5 games will need that too. This build would get trounced in years time if not at launch.

[KyRo]

I hate to break this to you but there's upscaling tech available for every game ever on PC for less than £5 on Steam which even helps decade old PC play modern games smoothly. It even has 4x frame generation and works for games, videos, emulation, everything. PSSR could have been on PS5 too but they chose not to.

[Babadook7]

"there's upscaling tech available for every game ever on PC for less than £5 on Steam which even helps decade old PC play modern games smoothly"

What are you referring to specifically?

[Grilla]

Even if it was cheaper and stronger I wouldn’t build or buy a pc. I moved on from pc during the ps4 gen. Don’t have the time or patience anymore. I’d rather buy multiple consoles and game in whatever room is convenient. I’ve been waiting for the pro to buy a 3rd ps5.

[OldDuffer]

Exactly. I have a 4K PC rig and though I thought I might play games on it, I never have. On PC you are always fiddling and spend far less of your free time actually playing games. Switch on and play within a minute is the only way for me. Maybe the tech fiddling and looking up best settings is something younger people like to do - I got bored of it and stopped gaming on PC around 20 years ago. No desire to go back despite having the rig to do so.
Choices are good though and someone with no PC I would advise to get one over a console because there is so much else you can do with it. I will always choose a hardware console to actually game on. As a committed gamer, its the best place to play uninterrupted games for me and my circs, but 'horses for courses'.

[LikAChicken]

@oldduffer

What fiddling are you doing? Most of the modern games (within the last decade plus) even make it easier by having a general toggle or slider of Quality settings to Performance settings.

[Neonridr]

@oldduffer - too much work to wake the computer from sleep, launch the Steam app and click the play button?

if you have a 4K PC rig, what in gods name would you be fiddling with? I have an 8600K + 3080 and I don't have to fiddle at all.

[Loktai]

@Neonridr - Dealing with all the other apps on the PC, the rebooting, buying the OS to begin with- instability issues, the DRIVERS for various devices and believe me once you start trying to use different headsets or other things on PC it does work usually pretty well but its not as simple as a console- everything is not as integrated. Yes Steam generally works fine- but when you buy a game you DO have to check if it will even run as intended on your system (not a thing on console) - and there are other aspects that make it less smooth than a console- I am a systems engineer professionally- I use and deal with computer systems all day long and for me, or you maybe it isnt fiddling but it isnt as straight forward as a console. A pS5 or a switch or something- you literally just put the disk or cart in (there is some install process for the Playstation side not on the switch) and it shows up on your front dash board, you launch it, everything is compatible, works out of the box and your settings are good to go - I can understand the appeal. I dont hate on either platform- but to say a PC isnt more fiddley- its someone whos never had a RAM stick go bad or some other issue- now try to get support for your PC when its just crashing , even if you JUST got the parts and built this PC yourself- now you need to figure out whats wrong, you dont get to just CALL someone and get a replacement - if the game isnt running as expected - you dont just know that the game needs a a patch or that all users are experiencing this- it can be something with YOUR rig- either somethintg from the beginning or something that happened randomly while you owned it like an update.

[MajorLazer]

The biggest issue with PC gaming is the games that either release late on the platform, or don't release at all. GTA VI is the most anticipated entertainment product in history, yet PC will have to wait at least a year for it.

[PrinceOfAnger]

All of the games here will be day one on pc
But ps5 will have to wait ?

https://i.ibb.co/TkZKzyM/Sc...

[Rude-ro]

Not one smart person would go through a bargain bin parts list to build a pc that is out of date and would need an upgrade that would replace the motherboard and cpu to move forward.
Let alone the generic gpu,

God the desperation from pc/microsoft kids is astonishing.

If platforms want to be popular… then do what is best… make wanted games.

You absolutely will spend a minimum of $1,400 on a pc build.
2k + for solid 1440p or 4K gaming,

This build would be 1440p max at mid settings but getting the best performance out of 1080p.

This cheap build does not come close to what the ps5 pro would offer in gaming or visual quality,

“Roughly” the same price…
And any person who built this pc would feel stupid after doing so.

[Neonridr]

but instead you'd buy a locked console that is also out of date.

Ironic

[Rude-ro]

@Neo
Many would… yes.
The ps5 is not out of date.
Not in today’s gaming market.
You have the anchor that is the Xbox s to thank for that.
You have the overwhelming majority of the pc community gaming on old rigs pushing 1080p to thank for that.

Gaming is only as good as the games being released.
Since not many companies are doing anything to push gaming other than a pixel count… how is any gaming device “out of date”?

My point, for those interested, $700 for an updated console with an exclusive chipset for ray tracing, double the gpu, and what is already the fastest component communication in any console is a good deal in todays market.

Is the ps5 pro what I wanted? No.
Why?
Because the reality is gaming is at a stand still.
The majority of developers only want cash cows and micro transactions.
The only way to gain said profits in today’s market is to be on as many devices as possible with cheap development tools/production.

A “pro” version today should come with a display port for monitor support, low latency competition, high refresh rates etc..
The gaming popularity of today is online PvP gaming…
A hole in console gaming due to the lack of support for the above.
All with the comfort of a locked system that would be better suited to combat cheating that has plagued pc gaming in said genre.

[Markdn]

But but we are worried we gonna look stupid so we need to keep putting these articles out there cause we have to justify how much more important pcs are even though the entry level to compete with a console yet to be released mind, has just shot up. Stop very poor value for money for the pc if you ask me

[S2Killinit]

But the article is playing loose with the word “rivals”.

[FyBy]

7700XT ? Dont make me laugh :-)
But it is pricier than I expected. I think half way between PS5 and actual PS5 Pro price would make it a hit. This is steep even for me.

[DustMan]

I've shown several builds that put the price point at around $800 dollars which is what the total would be. If you wanted the ps5 pro & disc drive (since console players are going to die on that hill) You can add another 70 if you want a second controller. So in if you want that disk drive & another controller you need to add another 150 to the total making it $850.

Nobody comments on the system, but rather on how I've added the cost of a controller and disk drive.

it comes with a controller - cool, guess you don't need another if you have nobody to play with...ever
disk drive - "I don't need it "(despite console players constantly complaining about digital only)
The stand - "I don't need it" (which is the only reasonable thing I've heard)

It's a stigma that PC is soooo expensive. I've got friends who I play online with daily who built systems for around 1k, and they aren't complaining. They know they didn't build the king kong of PC's, just enough to play some of the modern stuff at good frame rates.

[Kakashi Hatake]

Have fun waiting for games. No GTA, No Astrobot, No Spiderman 2, no Final Fantasy 7, no Plucky Squire, no Gran Tursimso, among many others. I'm convinced the PC argument comes from angry Xbox fanboys.

[M3talDiamond]

Does the PC build's GPU in the article have PSSR? I didnt think so

[BeHunted]

Nvidia has DLSS 2.0 and AMD has FSR, which are superior to anything on consoles. DLSS 2.0 remains one of the most innovative upscaling technologies on the market.

[porkChop]

DLSS is actually up to 3.5 now with higher quality upscaling, frame generation, and ray reconstruction.

[fr0sty]

You're talking about PSSR as if it's locked into its current state forever... they've already updated it once recently and improved its quality, and the system isn't even out yet. There also have been no direct comparisons between it and FSR or DLSS, so to say either is better is just guessing.

[MajorLazer]

FSR sucks 🥴

[babadivad]

Comments like these reminds me that console only gamers don't know anything about the hardware they game on. And even less about what's available on PC.

Sony didn't invent upscaling technology. DLSS has been around and baked into GPUs for 7 years.

[fr0sty]

and DLSS isn't available for the PC build in this article, so let's stay on topic.

[derek]

@baba why do you care? Lol, you xbox fanatics are going crazy over the pros existence. Mind your own business and let people spend their money the way they want to.

[babadivad]

@Frosty FSR is available on all GPUs. AMD, Nvidia, and Intel.

So it is on topic. This technology is not new.

[fr0sty]

And nobody has yet to prove that PSSR is any worse than FSR or DLSS.

[DivineHand125]

Unfortunately, no AMD GPU has AI image upscaling capabilities. PSSR is Sony's attempt to start development in that area, however, one thing to note is that this will be the first iteration of PSSR. When we look back at Nvidia's DLSS or Intel's XeSS, the first iteration is usually nothing special.

We will likely see better utilization of PSSR with the second iteration when the PS6 releases.

[fr0sty]

AMD GPUs do have FSR.

[jwillj2k4]

“ We will likely see better utilization of PSSR with the second iteration when the PS6 releases”

(Slow clap) Incredible foresight.. unf*ckin believable…

[DivineHand125]

@Fr0sty There is a difference between AMD's FSR and the options what Nvidia or Intel has to offer. FSR uses an open-source algorithm to upscale the images while the competition uses an AI algorithm. An advantage of FSR compared to the others is that FSR can be implemented on almost any GPU while the technologies that uses AI tend to see superior performance but is preparatory to each respective platform.

[fr0sty]

@divine, and PSSR is one of the aforementioned AI solutions, so it should yield superior quality.

[Einhander1972]

These are fake, that GPU is not the same performance, even if they want to act like it is. And they are using much slower memory.

PS5's GPU is using RDNA 4 tech that AMD hasn't even released themselves yet.

[Jin_Sakai]

Stop with the nonsense and let console gamers be console gamers. Ain’t no one wanting to play with the biggest cheating crowd on the planet or wait a year to play games like Astro Bot.

[BeHunted]

Imagine spending nearly £1k on a console in 2024. while PC is the cheapest option, cheap games, with free weekly games on the Epic Store.

[Giblet_Head]

@Master_Rid

Interesting way to rationalize being ripped off long term. But I suppose sunk cost will do that.

[andy85]

Eh not for me. I have a PC and I'd spend far more on games if that were where I primarily gamed simple for the fact they're all digital

[fsfsxii]

Epic games is now good? Lmao

[jznrpg]

I won’t be spending 1k I’ll be spending 699$ when it comes out.

[purple101]

somewhat tempted to agree -

PS5pro overpriced by $100 / £100, if they dropped price, this wouldn't even be an argument, - they really messed up the price in my opinion, just ridiculous price. and to raise price of ps5 in UK by £30, when we all know they making millions per year, simply not on ! xbox quickly followed suit mind, and they make even more.! surely the model is: get as many consoles out there, so more people may buy games for it, which is where the profit is as a disk/gital download costs next to nothing and they getting £60 a go.

[Firebird360]

Slapped together garbage parts lacking the speed and features of ps5 pro. This build will in no way give comparable performance to pro.
$700 is not too much for whats being offered.

[Giga_Gaia]

Except this PC will not play games as well as the PS5 Pro. The PS5 Pro is optimized solely for gaming and its games are made for it. That's not the same for this PC. Have fun playing games at 1080p/60fps or 1440p/30fps on this PC, that's all you're getting and with settings lowered as well.

I even saw a guy claiming he built an equivalent with a 3060. Sorry, but if you build something with even a 4060, it's not going to hold up to a PS5 Pro. In fact, a XX60 card is low tier lol.

[Markdn]

Nobody cares

[VersusDMC]

It is 794$ without HDMI cable, Keyboard or Mouse. Didn't see wifi 7 there either...

Pretty sure the PS5 pro will come with a HDMI cable and a dual sense. I like how we are omitting some needed purchases to aproximate the PS5 pro price.

And when you move to PC you don't have access to all your PS4 and PS5 psn game purchases so i guess people don't take that into account as well? Nobody with substancial psn purchases is considering moving to PC until the next playstation without Backwards compatibility.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

This argument is getting old. If you grew up on consoles like me you will most likely never choose a PC over a system. The ease of use is just to convenient on a console. Now with that being said if you’re a hardcore gamer also like me then you will eventually give PC a shot especially if you have the resources. I’ve transitioned over to PC because frame rate and graphics are important to me and PC is the ONLY place you will get both. Bottom line is buy what you like and can afford. Don’t let others tell you what’s good and what’s not.

[DivineHand125]

While we don't know for sure how the PS5 Pro will translate in raw performance, I think this attempt is amazing. I am a little concerned about the GPU of choice because the RX 7700 XT only has 54 compute units compared to the PS5 pro 60 compute units. I would rather spend $20 more and get the RX 6800. I would compromise on the 2 TB storage and settle for a 1 TB storage. You can always upgrade in the future to a 2TB or better when the price further comes down.

For the longest time it was impossible to build a PC with new parts close to the price of a PS5, however, now we are seeing people achieve this with the price of the Pro. The PS5 Pro may not be a rip off if you consider the price of PC components these days, but because of the fact that you will also be paying Sony $80 per year to play online and have some games be more expensive digitally than their PC counterpart, Sony is definitely making a significant profit compared to the launch of the PS5.

[GamingManiac]

#doubt

[ibrake4naps]

6 core instead of 8 cpu, 54 CUs instead of 60 GPU, 12 gb instead of 16 GDDR6 ram (192 instead of 256 bit), 432 GB/s instead of 576 mem bandwidth. They're making Sony's case for them. Screenshot comparisons were more effective...

[purple101]

I Specc’d an ideal pc; and it came to £1300

That’s with NO operating system
No mouse keyboard and no dualsense.

It would have beaten ps5 but it would be twice the price in total after those extras were added in.

I first thought Sony priced it too close to a pc, but now I’m doubting that.

It’s the middle point between a ps5 original, and a pc.

[jwillj2k4]

No one wants a PC we are console gamers what dont these PC idiots understand?? They pay thousands for graphics cards but cant stand the fact that console gamers are willing to pay under 1k for a hardware boost?? News flash anyone interested in a pro is a mega sony fan. No ones switching to a configuration station 😆

[90sGamingWasBetter]

I'd rather have a PS5 sat in my living room than that big hunk. 🤷‍♂️

[Retro1986]

That pc dosent have all the features that a console has, and for some they also need to buy keyboard, mouse, windows, controller next to it, and the performance,db noise, design, quality feeling is lacking. And … the price is not relevant outside U.S atleast. That motherboard costs 160$ here as an example.

The conclusion is that a pc costs more no matter what you do.

That said, i belive the biggest reasons why people buy consoles, are;

1. simple setup, plug and play. No extra updates, drivers, programs, less risk of something failing. And if something fails, you can just easy deliver one box that dosent have parts in it that needs to be secured or be taken out if you need to send it.

2. Games.. exclusives.

3. Friends, where they play.

4. parents/family most of the times buys it for you/kids. Easier for them to buy a console.

[mkis007]

Anyone who thinks this will run games at equivalent settings to the pro would make a good mark. Why in the hell would you waste your money? The power of the pc isn't buying cheap to beat a console on price, it's buying the parts you want without compromising. Console simplicity is also something you don't get on pc, it's been bugging me on my playthrough of outlaws. For every console bug pc has 5 more.

From a guy who just dropped 2k on a new pc and plans on getting the pro. Not rich work retail.

[derek]

So it doesn't exactly match/rival the pro, what us qrong with these pc weirdos can't get over a $700 console.

[RaiderNation]

What I think a lot of PC gamers don't understand is regardless of whether this PC build can or can't match PS5 Pro's power, that's not the point. The point is, console gamers PREFER to play on console. They're not looking to switch to PC. PC rigs outperforming consoles has ALWAYS been a thing. But there will always be a market for console gaming and there is a large enough percentage of that market that wants access to the most powerful console possible. PS5 Pro will provide this. The console gamers do not preoccupy themselves with whether or not comparable or more powerful PC's exist.

[ARESWARLORD]

PC is the smart move

[ocelot07]

Another day another PC Vs PS5 Pro piece. As soon as I read the Ryzen 5600 I clocked in he page. Well done to who ever put that together telling people to buy into a end of life platform. If I want to buy the latest amd CPU in 2 years time. You will have to once again but a new AM5 motherboard. DDR5 RAM yes this piece is telling people to buy DDR4 RAM that's been around for 10 years.

Edit: I find it so funny the PC crowed have all of a sudden became threatened. Don't worry the 4090 is still a killer (and expensive) GPU. But for the majority of you. Your GTX 1650's suck!

[ChasterMies]

Another bullshit parts list. You can’t play games with a parts list. Build the machine or it didn’t happen. Other issues: “(TFLOPS unknown)“ for the PS5, making this all speculative bullshit; the PC build list doesn’t include things you’ll need to play PS5 games like a DualSense controller or things you’ll need to set up your PC like mouse, keyboard, and operating system. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Smellsforfree]

I have a gaming PC with a 4080S that is much much better than a PS5 Pro, and I still plan to get a PS5 Pro because I enjoy playing Playstation games in my living room.

[kpgs]

My biggest issue with suggesting to buy a PC instead of the PS5 Pro: Will this PC play the thousands of games I have on my PS library? Or will I need to rebuy them all? because if I do have to buy them all, even on sale will still be more than the cost of a PS5 Pro.

[Miacosa]

Forgot to include assembly, OS, controller costs. Also, there is no unified warranty for this, if something goes wrong good luck. And for someone that's built PCs for over 30+ years that's bound to happen. Another thing to consider is not everyone is a DIY PC builder that wants to scrounge up the cheapest parts available online. As gimped as consoles are they will always serve as a simple way to get into games. It's not always the best but for 90% of people it's good enough. While the PS5 design is no looker no one is placing one of these boxes under a Livingroom TV.

[Tsar4ever01]

I find it really intresting that these PC heads try to build PC eqivilants PS5 Pro's without considering other important factors in the cost parts such choosing a motherboard that support WIFI 7,(PS5 Pro support wifi-7) and wheres the Windows OS with Mouse & Keyboard? How are you going to log-in to your Steam, Epic & GOG accounts without Windows OS and play the games without Mouse/KB or 3rd party controller? Just stop it already PC heads, your just showing us your FEAR!!!

[cthulhucultist]

ok this is getting ridiculous, lol. Whoever wants to buy it, should be free of nay guilt and just buy the thing.

The same is true for those who wont buy it.

I think we had enough of these articles

[Juancho51]

They’re rying so hard, just stop. If someone wanted a pc over a ps5 they’d get one

[PRIMORDUS]

That 2TB drive is adding most of the cost to the PS5 Pro. A good nvme pcie 4.0 is not cheap, especially ones from Samsung or Sk Hynix. If the pro had a 1TB drive I think you it could have been $599 USD.

[Hedstrom]

If you wanna play pc go play pc, if you wanna play Playstation go get a Playstation!

[Bathyj]

PC guys. You need to stop ok?
You need to accept you can't do what PS5 Pro or any console can do for that matter for the same price.

Plus no PC gamer would be caught dead playing on this rig.
Now go aell one of your kidneys so you can afford a 5090 when they come out.

[hollabox]

The CPU is better, but the GPU would be considerably slower. Fast CPU really only matters at low resolutions with only a handful of titles that can stress a modern CPU 7 or more cores at all resolutions. I have 3800X, 8600K and 5900X CPUs, my 8600K gets stressed in Spiderman at ground level with RT on. I hear the new Warhammer 2 is a real CPU killer. Cyberpunk and stress both the 3800X and 8600K at most resolutions. When I say stressed, talking about 60% or higher CPU usage and inability to hit 60 FPS when not GPU limited. All speculation of course, but I think the 7700XT would be significantly slower overall, especially since Sony's API seems faster than DX and Vulkan.

[purple101]

hehe this build used DDR4 memory, (released 2014, - yes, 10 years ago)

ps5 uses GDDR6. i'm no expert, but id say ps5, would run games faster just off that.

the bandwidth of this particular memory, I just googled, is 48gb, per sec, - ps5 is 10 times faster. there, although shares all memory, obv pc needs double dose of ram

on the gfx card, that has Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB with 432gb pe sec bandwidth, ps5 is 448 per sec.,

this pc would probably not compete, and still comes with no DualSense,

pretty much a non- article. try again in 3 years time the youl do it.

[hollabox]

Yep, I would have centered the build around a 7600 CPU with 7800XT GPU, but they know it's a struggle getting under $850. Consoles can also punch above their weight with proper optimization. The PS5 can at times outperform RTX 2080 Super with specs more in line with the RTX 2060 Super. That's AMD 6700 to 6700XT performance on some titles. From what I understand, it's RDNA 4 with the same configuration as RDNA 3 7800XT. A 7800XT is 48% faster than the 6700XT, making it 54% faster than RTX 2080 Super. 7800XT is 21% faster than the 7700XT. Sony has said up to twice the rendering speed. I'm assuming that's with RT. Other Youtuber claimed 45-50% faster than in rasterization than the PS5. This puts the PS5 PRO GPU in the realm of the 7800XT, and probably a great deal faster when it comes to Ray Tracing. Fair to say the 7700XT GPU would be at minimal 19% slower than the PS5 Pro. It has overall 100 gbps less memory bandwidth, this could easily widen the gap but up to 25% in bandwidth limited situations. So just call it 22% faster than the 7700XT rasterization, and probably 40-60% faster in RT.

[purple101]

People saying it’s a 7700xt. A £300 card

But on looking at specs it’s actually a downclocked, lower power consumption 7899xt which is a £500

I’m starting to see the cost benefit of what PS5 pro offers

But in general I am so annoyed
It is too much money. They should have taken the hit, which PC the parts suppliers need to make their money because they will not be making it back on games but for only they can take a loss and then recoup through selling games!!

God dam this is too much for my wallet. If it were 600 I’d eBay my ps5 and pay the difference

Hang on , this is maybe what they’re trying to prevent. A huge mass of second hand ps5’s hitting the streets

[Canofwar]

Kind of hard to determine that when the console isn't available.

[RGB]
