Have you played it on a high ish end PC?  Because if you haven't, you haven't seen ultra settings.

And most all games, imh, benefit from 120 fps.  Crosshairs are more responsive and more accurate.

And 120 fps does impact visuals, camera panning is ultra smooth.

All I can say is I was console exclusive gamer for decades.  I watched videos and read articles and never thought PC was that big of a jump. 

I got a good bonus last year and built my first rig with a 4070.  And I rebought a number of games I had on Playstation.  Doom, eternal, hitman, forbidden west, re4, dead space, etc.  I did this so I could compare and see first hand.

Trust me, it isn't close.  Ultra settings on PC are way, way, way higher than what consoles run.  Then add in higher resolution.  Then top off with higher fps. 

Consoles have never touched PC in graphics.  Doom on PC maxed out across the board is a much different look than what the ps4 had.  

Console being on the same level as a PC is a myth that console gamers tell themselves.  I know because I was one of them. 

Edit

According to DF, RDR2 console settings for lighting is equivalent to PC low settings.  Same with reflections, tree quality and volumetric.... most other settings are mix of medium and a few highs. 

If I put everything on high, by default I have the mich better looking game.  Add in better resolution and better framerate on top of my better graphics.  The console isn't console had the best looking games back in the day.  

I'm starting to hint you two must be joking.  I can't believe either of you are serious.

I don't think anyone is saying PC and consoles are on the same level. I guess my best explanation would be is look at ps4 pro vs ps5. ps5 is vastly more powerful but the games that i'm playing ain't really showing it. I have played spiderman 2, dead space, Resident evil 4 remake, and GOW of ragnorak, and guess what GOW ragnorak a game that uses basically ps4 assets looks the best by far to me. So talking strictly graphics/art style horizon, ghosts of tushami, last of us 2, uncharted 4, spider man, GOW 2018 and rdr 2 were the best looking games to many. its like how you think wind waker is the best despite being dated as heck but these games were still graphical show cases for there time.

Exactly.  The difference is I acknowledge WWHD is a personal preference based on art style that resonates with me.  I don't pretend to believe it is remotely technically high end.  That is is the difference.  You can personally think ps4 games look great, but technically they don't touch what PC was outputting.  Hence why I said in the very beginning people are confusing personal preference with technical capabilities.
