In case you haven’t heard, the PS5 Pro’s a bit expensive. As was slapped across a barrage of rightly flabbergasted tweets and articles in the aftermath of the console being revealed on Tuesday, it’ll set you back at least $699.99/£699.99. So, a lot of peopole have been asking, is it a no brainer to just buy a PC instead?
Well, that exact quandary has now been posed to Richard Leadbetter, founder of acclaimed hardware boffin hive Digital Foundry by IGN, and well, the answer isn’t quite as simple as ‘oh yeah, of course’.
Asked what a comparable PC build to the Pro would cost, Leadbetter said: “Probably a fair bit more [than the PS5 Pro]. The GPU that you’re gonna need, if you consider a holistic view of all of the different components – the enhanced ray tracing, no AMD GPU has that at the moment, the machine learning block, no AMD GPU has that – it’s almost like an Nvidia-style feature set, but made by AMD.
