The bolded part is where we disagree.  You seem to think running the same games makes hardware "basically" the same.  A rtx 2060 runs anything that a rtx 4090 does.  But saying the rtx 2060 is "basically" a rtx 4090 is nonsense.  I mean 1,920 cuda cores versus 16,384 is a slaughter.  

Likely we need to agree to disagree.  But I think "running the same games" is a terrible metric for hardware power.   We live in an age where game engines are scalable.  A wide variety of grossly different hardware can run the same game, just at massively different levels of fidelity.

Anyone who thinks a Rog Ally is a portable PS5 is living in an alternate reality.

Considering you -can- run Starfield on a Core i7 2700K and a Radeon 7850 HD... Which is literally basically what a base Playstation 4 is...

And still get 40fps on low at 1080P... Does that mean a Playstation 4 is basically a Playstation 5?

You can also do 30fps in Cyberpunk.

Or hows about Hogwarts legacy?

Keep in mind the PS4 class GPU in these tests.

What this showcases is that the games running on a certain "set" of hardware isn't representative of another set of hardware, but rather it showcases how scalable games are these days... Where it will scale from a mid-range 10+ year old GPU to the top of the line 2024 GPU.

Exactly. Well said and thanks for the links.  

My experience is from a i5 3050 6 vram 16 gb ram laptop compared to my i7 4070 12 vram 32 gb tower....  yeah they both run the same games.  No they are not the same tier. 

Like you said games scale easily, but my tower decimates my laptop.
