I highly doubt you can build a PC that performs better in games than the PS5 Pro for $700. That is a very low price when a $300 RTX 4060 will be a slower GPU than what the PS5 Pro will have. Not to mention that consoles generally are more efficient, and have better visuals at a given compute level, than running games in a general-purpose OS.
- JohnBooty 2y agoHere's what Sony says about the PS5 Pro: With PS5 Pro, we are upgrading to a GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother. It's not clear to me that this will outperform a 4060. Based on some quick Googling, an RTX 4060 has about 50% more teraflops than a base PS5. Seems to me that this is more likely to bring the PS5 Pro up to par with an RTX 4060. Searching for "gaming PC" on Slickdeals and taking the first few non-laptop deals, I see: iBUYPOWER TraceMesh Gaming Desktop: i7-13700F, RTX 4060, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD $899 CyberPowerPC Desktop: i5 14400F, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, RTX 4060 $850 Might be able to go a little lower with a DIY build, switching to AMD, etc. Anyway, the PCs are a little more pricy for sure, but they're also general purpose computers so... that's worth something...
