Richard Leadbetter thinks a PC on the power level of the PS5 Pro would cost "a fair a bit more", says the RTX 4070 would be the closest equivalent GPU

@The Devil's Advocate no dog in this fight, but let me play devil’s advocate with you

Say you bought the original PS5 and now want to get the PS5 pro…you’re actually paying $700 + whatever you originally paid for the base PS5. With that money you could have just got a decked out PC in the first place

Sony stans dont know finances, thats why theyre the most broke on here. They NEVER add extra controllers, head sets, monthly subscriptions, charging stations, etc or in this case ps 5 + ps5 pro cost ($1300)

Thats why @Rekkapryde legit ran when I asked him to break down how much hes spent on his PS5 over the past 4 years or so. Bet its more than a high end PC, let alone a low end PC

Please, don't come in here using your common sense and elementary math skills/logical to tell somebody they are dumb as rocks

40XX series GPUS didn't exist when the PS5 came out, so that nullifies this argument.

Nice try though

the 30 series had cards better than the Pro too

it should be interesting when we can get some real performance comparisons between various cards and the Pro

This makes no sense. You do realize people can trade in/sell their PS5 and put that towards buying the Pro right? Same thing with certain PC parts. Do you hold onto your old GPU when you upgrade your computer? Or RAM/CPU? Like we're not talking about clothes or sneakers here.

Or is this another sly attempt at trolling masquerading as an unsolicited financial tip?

The RX 6800 doesn't have the advanced RDNA4 Ray Tracing capabilities of the PS5 Pro, nor the custom AI hardware upscaling for PSSR, which is closer to DLSS than it is FSR.

that's why Leadbetter is comparing it to the 4070

Putting something together that looks better on paper.

Do you really need a 40XX GPU though? I have an RTX2060 and it’s more than fine for my gaming purposes, and there were more powerful ones than that available at the time

Sure, but this is a wash at best and you’re still going to be trading at a loss. Besides, that’s not even the scenario I mentioned; if you got a reasonably good GPU around the time when the PS5 came out you don’t necessarily have to upgrade now.

Let’s take my example. Specs still need to come out but from what I’m reading so far the PS5 pro is speculated to be comparable to a 4070Ti. I got my 2060 at $329 in 2020…I can probably trade it in for $150-200. Then I can get a 4070 which is around $550 right now. Knock down the trade in value and it don’t look all that bad…this doesn’t even factor in the ability to tweak and fine tune performance on a PC which you can’t do on a console.

Also, you still paying for PS Plus

And if you have games on disc you still gotta buy a disc drive for that pro

Thinking there’s some special thing sony can do with hardware that isn’t available elsewhere

Highlight the part in the post you quoted where I said this. Thanks.

The 2000 and 3000 series cards existed when PS5 came out and both still outperform the Ps5 what the fukk is the point of like 90% of your posts the past month

but PC users need to buy all new parts like keyboards, hard drives, operating systems, mice, etc sony stans are intolerable with how stupid they are when trying to make points
