    GPU alone would cost more than the console, if you’re building a pc.

    There’s not many models that expensive. A comparable GPU to the PS5 Pro’s is around half the cost

      Let’s suppose you are right for a moment, can the $350 buy a case, power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard disk that is on par with the PS5? GPU is only half the equation.

      “comparable gpu” is kinda loaded. I have a pc and a ps5, so I’m not trying to take sides. What gpu are you getting for 350 usd that games at the fps, quality, and resolution that the ps5 does?

          7700XT and 4060ti aren’t retailing for 350USD and you’re not getting 4k 60fps at the fidelity the PS5 pro is doing.

            The consoles are typically FSR2 upscaling from 1440p or lower. Plenty of games are down around 720p. Lets not pretend theyre doing 4k native on AAA titles. The pro isnt going to be native either, we need to see games and PSSR in action to see where it falls vs FSR, XESS, DLSS, and see what gpu is closest in performance. You can get a used RTX 3080 for 350-400 and i’ll be pleasantly surprised if PS5 Pro beats that level of performance.
