The graphics performance described is about comparable to an RX 7700XT. 

Here is a PC for about $900 that should be roughly comparable.

Yes, still more than $700, but I picked the parts in 5 minutes and didn't look for any deals. Add on a few years of PS Plus and it is a wash, pretty much. 

Edit: I plan to get a PS5 Pro anyway, because I need a second PS5 for my partner's house and I am hoping for better native resolution in VR titles. 

Yeah if you shop around, take your time, wait for all the parts to arrive, build, install, configure, maintain. It's not hard work but it is time consuming (and sometimes it does turn into a lot of trial and error). If you only have little time to play, consoles are still the best way to go.

Btw, you still need OS, Keyboard, Mouse, Controller, HDMI cable to complete the PC. PS5 Pro comes with a controller ($75) and HDMI 2.1 cable.

And then while it's comparable, performance will always be more stable on console until you have plenty overhead on PC.


I will get one for PSVR2, that's where the biggest difference will be. On TV I don't see the difference between 1440p and 4K anyway, plus 30 fps on TV doesn't bother me. VR is a different beast. Hopefully more PSVR2 titles will be native 90 fps on the pro, yet 60 with higher resolution is fine too.

I have the means to buy/build a big VR capable PC, just don't have / don't want to spend the time on it. Time > Money in my current stage of life. Plus I do like physical editions, so hard to find now for PC :/ (Nor does my gaming laptop have a disc drive lol)
