What we’ve seen so far (PS5, XBOXSEX) has involved some beefy specs, but just how much would it cost to build a comparable PC? Bear in mind, this isn’t an in-depth spec-for-spec since both consoles are using next-gen hardware that isn’t available to buy yet. Instead, this is a basic guide to see how close you can get with PC components right now.
>One can do literally everything >The other can only play videogames Hmmm
Jackson Turner
do you really need a 2080ti to shitpost on 4channel though?
Lincoln Phillips
>shared memory Peasant
David Thompson
They got the memory wrong. The PC only need 8GB of system RAM to be on par with the consoles.
Ryder Jenkins
Gotta get the best hardware possible to up your shitposting game.
Justin Rogers
Isn't the PS5 weaker than the Laptop 2060 or whatever? a 1080 is easily equivalent to the PS5.
Colton Garcia
This is false. The PS5 sacrifices a lot for form factor so clock speeds are all pretty much halved. AKA half the performance. Also the GPU and CPU share GDDR6, which you can't even buy for a desktop PC.
Levi James
Uhm sweaty, the 825gb storage literally runs at DDR2 speed
Zachary Kelly
laptop 2060 > 1080 you heard it here first folks.
Carter Jenkins
Every generation people say this shit and then the console comes out and always underperforms
Justin Morgan
>CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (£299.99) The next-gen consoles not use a desktop Ryzen CPU
>GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super 8GB Ventus XS OC (£679.99) They are not using high-end desktop GPUs sourced from Nvidia.
>RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 (£98.99) They have 16GB of shared memory total, the PC in your specs has 16GB system memory, and 8GB video.
Next-gen consoles always look good on paper compared to high-end PCs a year before they're released. By they time they're actually out they maybe compare well to a mid-range system. By the time they're on their way out they'll be similar to what you get in a low-end laptop.
Brayden Carter
well no... what i'm saying is that going with a 2080 is extreme overkill to be equivalent.
Jaxon Davis
lmao consolebabbies are getting desperate
Dominic Hall
Do you know what equivalent means?
Bentley Smith
>16GB DDR6 What the fuck am I watching?
Gabriel Lee
>DDR2 speed thats not good
Eli Johnson
For storage? It's super fast. Especially since it goes straight into the unified RAM/VRAM instead of SSD>RAM>VRAM
Is next gen going to bloat RAM requirement further or should I just stick with 16gb of RAM?

>The PS3 is gonna kill PC gaming! >The PS4 is gonna kill PC gaming! When will you learn?
Chase Cox
Never, OP is a useful idiot for corporates to exploit.
Carter Campbell
Console boys learn that new PC parts get released all the time and parts get cheaper. 2021 building a ps5 will be 800-1000 dollars while ps5 will be undisclosed amount with no games until 2022
Cameron Richardson
Instead of upgrading my PC I bought a small boat and will spend the summer on the local lake. Fuck gaming. My 7 year old potato is powerful enough to look at my 2D waifu collection
Caleb Morris
That's assuming I'd have to get an entirely new pc and many of those components will go down considerably in price and/or will be replaced by new components anyway, for less cost and equal power within a year. That was always the cycle. New console with semi-sexy numbers will be overtaken due to stagnancy between generations. Then it comes down to muh exclusives, regardless of processing power. Then with time, most shit will get ported and by the time the "definitive editions" get released, all will be available on pc, save for 2-3 flagship titles. Let's say, for argument's sake, the console will cost 600$, and then the actual question will become "do you want to invest those 600$ for those exclusive titles and timed exclusivity?". That's not factoring in some hidden costs like monthly charges for gold-pass online play or whatever scheme Sony and MS have in story for additional bucks on their platforms. Not judging if you prefer the console way, but usually it evens out between platforms.

It doesn't, by the time the consoles are out, new CPUs and GPUs will be out and older ones (already better than next gen consoles) will be less expensive
Christian Jenkins
try again when zen 3, amepere and navi 2x come out (all before next gen consoles)
