An equivalent gaming PC costs more.

The Playstation 5 Pro, which is a refresher of the Playstation 5, is not only the most powerful gaming console ever, but also the most expensive representative of its kind to date. The Blu-ray drive and vertical stand cost around €950 for the “fully equipped” PS5 Pro. Gamers are already talking about “this is for gamers”, the famous PlayStation slogan. The previous generation cost €449.99 or 519.99 euros.

However, the unfounded and persistent criticism from gamers compared to gaming PCs should at least be taken into account. Based on the feature set and performance offered, an equivalent PC should have a graphics card as big as the Geforce RTX 4070, which is available off eBay for at least $10. 540 euros It is presented according to Digital Foundry via IGN.

In an interview with IGN, Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter answered the question of whether the equivalent gaming PC would cost more than the Playstation 5 Pro, which can be pre-ordered from September 26 for €799.99, as follows.

Maybe a little more.

I mean, for the GPU you're going to need, when you think about the overall look of all the different components, the advanced ray tracing, the new machine learning capabilities, it's basically like a feature set like what Nvidia offers, but from AMD I realized.

The next equivalent graphics card we will look at after that is the Geforce RTX 4070.

But other components essential to a gaming PC must be taken into account as well, Richard Leadbetter says in an interview.

Additionally, you'll need to buy the CPU, motherboard, memory, power supply, case, and 2TB PCIe SSD, so the cost goes up significantly.
