So GN did a new video comparing a ps5 to a "4 year old $500 PC"

He compares the ps5 Raster performance to a 1060 in DMCV, 1070 Ti in Borderlands 3 and 1080 in Dirt 5 paired with a 3300X. They also try to match the settings spec per spec. Also they are going for high framerate/performance mode and not visual quality mode.And the results are:

While the point of the video is a bit questionable, especially as he only tests in 1080p, compares different gpus in different games and obviously the ps5 is able to do Ray Tracing vs Pascal cards aren't as well as the limited number of game selection. The performance numbers are still a bit interesting. Especially with the lows. Maybe these games needed more time in the oven or something weird is going on. Maybe the cpu isn't as fast as I was initially thinking, especially with the low cache. Or maybe it's just the devs didn't spend much time optimizing on these particular games.

That texture quality on the ps5 is pretty yikes though for Borderlands 3:
