I love my ps5 but the ps5 pro is the biggest scam in gaming in a long time.
The price difference at my Best Buy is insane right now.
The Slim DE is selling for the equivalent of $376 USD and the Pro for $708 USD. Almost twice the price. Crazy.
It’s weaker actually but the prices weren’t a great example.Cool it built a way more powerful machine with a valid windows license.
You can build a comparable machine to PS5 Pro for ~800 you just wouldn't want to.
That's a really good price for a pre built but isn't the RTX 4060 a really shit GPU?We get it. In one region, the US, PC components are expensive whilst Sony offer the PS5 Pro at a lower rate than other first world countries.
Now do a comparison in the UK or EU, where you can get comparable pre-builds for similar cash, but without Sony’s online fees and walled garden store.
Here you go;

I think you're overestimating the PS5 CPU by a lot, and maybe you're missing what DF specifically means when they compare the GPU to a 4070.It’s weaker actually but the prices weren’t a great example.
You should stop listening to DF for anything tech related.I think you're overestimating the PS5 CPU by a lot, and maybe you're missing what DF specifically means when they compare the GPU to a 4070.
People are swayed by “building” pc’s and the opportunities there and forgive me but there’s joy in building PC’s, the joy permeates from launching your first boot up, and I’m not saying console gamers don’t have joy just not that joy.
Yeah. Costco have deals on good PCs every week or so though.That's a really good price for a pre built but isn't the RTX 4060 a really shit GPU?
I want to seperate work from personal life.So. Not shit, a PC will always be more expensive than a console. However, I can upgrade any component on my PC any time I like and have far more CPU, RAM, and GPU power. The library of games is more vast than Sony could imagine. Not only all this, but a PC is far more capable at not only gaming, but completing other tasks. So while the Playstation is a great deal, I need more. So, for the cost of 2 PS5 pro's I will always go PC. I'm not sure why you turds need to exclaim that the PS5Pro is so amazing for it's price, you are correct, it is. But I don't need a PC with the same horsepower as a PS5Pro. I can meet and exceed those needs and do far more with my PC as well as have far more freedom to game, mod, host servers, create virtual machines, control my network, work, Emulate other systems, use CAD software, 3D model, build a game/website/software application, program Arduino modules, utilize my own personal AI, Photo/Video Edit, pay bills, run up to 4 monitors, tweak settings to my hearts content and so on. Hell, I could add 2 GPU's if I wanted to.
I think the choice is up to the user and what they ultimately want to do. Would you like a walled garden for just games, apps and entertainment, controlled by your plastic box manufacturer of choice, or do you want to do whatever you want?
This guys build is not really a comparison, as that PC would smoke the PS5 Pro, yet still has less storage (?!?).
This is a much better comparison to the actual PS5 Pro, with possibly worse Ray Tracing (Honestly we won't know this until we actually see the PS5 Pro in action), double the memory, and with a smaller SSD.
I just tried making a version that has what I think is most comparable to the PS5 with high quality parts I would actually purchase if I were building the PC, and it came out similar to twilo99 's version:
If I were trying to make a mid-range PC that was far more future proof and upgrade ready, but would absolutely smoke the PS5 Pro I would need to spend an additional $285 or so:
We know the clocks? What are they and any links?We still don't know the specs for the GPU. Only the clocks and CU count and little more.
Do we know the clocks officially?We still don't know the specs for the GPU. Only the clocks and CU count and little more.
Do we know the clocks officially?
But if you are a gamer that cares about resolution and frame rate and would rather play on PC, you don’t have to settle for only matching the PS5 Pro.So gpt says pro is great value against PC around half the cost for same performance
Funny thing isn't it, we can't calculate any GPU metric with certainty as of yet.Now that you mention it, not they haven't been confirmed yet. We only have the leaks.
That’s a valid choice then.I want to seperate work from personal life.
When i am home i am turning on the tv and console and i just game.
When i am at work i do cad, mozaik, maestro, sketch up, invoicing , back end tools and front end tools etc.
I can have both in one but no thanks
I will quote our headmaster on gaf.That’s a valid choice then.
I think the OP is trying to say why a PS5 Pro is better than a PC because it’s less expensive and has similar technology to a PC. But that is dismissive of what a PC is capable of, especially considering almost every game needs a PC to even be created. That being said, the PS5 Pro is great bang for your buck, but its capabilities and upgradability are limited.
Isn’t the Pro GPU RDNA3? Its quoting the dual issue TF number.
My understanding was GPU was generally RDNA3 with RT being RDNA4?It's like a hybrid of it and RDNA 4.

Amen, I'm in the same boat as you. This whole "build a similar PC" idea is kind of silly. Consoles are different, for a reason. And they are priced differently. That's all there is to it.I want to seperate work from personal life.

Sure, I’d be happy to help! Could you please provide more details or specify the question you’re referring to? That way, I can give you the most accurate and relevant answer.What's the correct answer though?
I love AI so much. I love how there's just two computers. One of the fans just kind of melts into oblivion.I asked ChatGPT to create an image based on your OP, this was it's response
