No need is there, the PS5 is all configurable with the controller. The rest of the PC experience, regular large slow forced updates, virus scans etc. I think we can happily do without.

It's still "few hundred bucks" and you said half on console power can't be achieved with that money.
With this PC you can play:
- All PS1, PS2, PS3 games with enhanced graphics
- All PC games released ever with enhanced graphics
- All new games and most of them with higher performance than PS5 and you can actually choose better performance or image quality.
- games with mods
Large updates and installs are part of console gaming since 2006.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
all these try hard threads. seems desperate since the "multiplatform" approach by Microsoft and Sony.
You can see the pattern here.

cheaper game prices
No « gen »
Not paying money for a resolution bump « remake »
Easily worth the extra money. That build typically goes into ~$650 range with deals. CPU/Motherboard/Memory bundles like we saw at microcenter would make this even cheaper.

PS5 is also not "400$" outside of few selected places (USA).

So if you spend double the cost of a PS5 you can get better performance, okay?

I'm not talking about configuring anything. Most games on PC can be played with either k&m or controller.

Better almost everything, yeah.

So in a thread about a PC being able to 'outperform a PS5 at the same price point' you point out that a PC costing twice a digital PS5 can outperform it. Well done I guess.

Only DF knows how to do them but people here are still bitching.

Its also a bit more powerful, to get a closer comparison you would have to:
Upgrade the storage to m.2 gen4 (a bit tricky when it comes to size since ps5 has more than 512gb, but less than 1tb)
Downgrade the PSU to lower wattage one, GPU to non XT variant, CPU to ryzen 3600 (should still be more than 10% stronger)
and you pretty much have a console equivalent performance, minus the peripherals of course.

I used new parts, Linus used... used parts. It can be done technically.

Looks like Intel Arc has really improved this past year. Thats the best part of the video.

If you have the know how to build a pc, firstly u would not build such junk and why would u be interested in consoles, unless for exclusive games, and ease of use, just goes to show how important exclusive games are, take note ms and sony,

Yup. I'm extremely happy officially supported glasses free stereoscopic 3D gaming is coming to PC. PC allows for high end gaming experiences you can't get anywhere else.

Tech channels like DF and LTT keep making these videos because it’s an interesting subject for enthusiasts, it has nothing to do with the recent multiplat strategies from Sony and Microsoft. No one is asking you to cheat on your PlayStation console with a $500 PC.

I will admit the Linus video is a bit click baity for what it is, but some people here just take things way too far. There's nothing inherently wrong with putting X system against Y system and seeing what the outcome is.
I genuinely find it interesting and DF for example do a great job in my opinion.

The problem with that is PS5 can be bought used as well. That's why I didn't like Linus comparing with used parts.

Yep. This is dumb as shit.
A better video would be what’s the maximum you have to spend on a brand new PC to rival a brand new Ps5.
And then ask if PC gaming is that much better than Sony’s overpriced walled off digital garden to justify that extra outlay.

Firstly don’t waste ur money on amd gpus, pay the extra for nvidia, windows is an extra 100$, where is the controller and blue ray drive?This will outperform PS5 in 90% of games:
You can add windows for ~100$ but you can use it for free as far as I know without any key. Plus M & K for few bucks.

That's completely subjective. We all spend our money on what we want, finding reasons to validate our decisions. I drive a basic Toyota Prius. Some of you wouldn't be caught dead driving one. I bought a 4090. Some of you would never spend that much to play videogames. Lets not even get into audio equipment.

Should be compared to digital PS5. My PC blu-ray drive wouldn't play movies without shit software.
AMD GPUs are fine without RT.

Windows is free to install. There is no requirement to activate it. Games can be played with keyboard and mouse. Blu ray drive is useless on a PC so the comparison should really be with the PS5 digital.

The excuse is that I've had my PS5 since 2020 and only now in 2024 you can build a comparable PC for the price point.
This is a duplicate thread of this:
www.neogaf.com
And no excuse is needed if you actually watch the video till the end
Opinion - Clickbait - Cringe - Linus Tech Tips - “It’s time to kill the PlayStation 5”
Is buying a PS5 or Xbox really a better bang for your buck? Or, with a little creativity, can you build a gaming PC for the same price, and put shame to the Sony name? Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:30 The CPU 2:30 The Motherboard 4:30 Storage 5:03 Storm Trooper 6:05 PSU and GPU 7:40 Doom Eternal 10:00...
And no excuse is needed if you actually watch the video till the end

That's true.
Both PS5 and PC didn't drop prices in price/performance ratio since 2020 (even increased in case of PS5) so we are in the same situation where you can't match PS5 price with equivalent PC hardware 3.3 years later.

More like 99%. The 6700 XT is close to the 3060 Ti.This will outperform PS5 in 90% of games:

i dont know, with that hardware, i think most games will run worse on PC than on PS5.
Dont forget console gaming is better optimized and alot of times PC has to bruteforce it.
Shader compilation, stuttering is huge problem in pc gaming

Nope, even 6700 outperforms PS5 most of the time:
And:
these graphs dont do shit, its just numbers. you actually have to run alot of games to see the difference.
Shader compilation? stuttering? he;llo?

Also this, they have to use used parts for their PC build and a case that was literally dragged out of the trash. But it all goes out the window when you find a used PS5 for 300 on facebook marketplace, probably will come with a few games or extra controller.

As someone who watched the video:
- Intel Arc has HDR issues it seems.
- Controller was not factored into cost.
- They used a disc drive PS5 instead of a cheaper digital model.
- Used parts, so no warranty and lots of gambling.
PC is still more expensive. And has more potential for problems.

They won’t.
That rig is also quite a bit better and has much faster CPU.
Which is why we’re not saying 100%. There are thousands of games released every year. The handful of them with major issues and Sony exclusives are the 1-10%.

It’s still a bad build tho, and it’s not apples to apples, realistically you want a comparable alternative, you are gonna need more then 1k,

You forgot the love for the brand, no graph with numbers can overcome that feeling.So how the fuck do you measure things without numbers?
