How Much Would It Cost To Build A PC That Can Compete With The PS5 Pro?
SlashGear • • technology
Key Points:
- "Grand Theft Auto VI" will launch on consoles before PC, prompting some gamers to consider building a PC that matches or exceeds console performance before the PC release.
- A PC build comparable to the PS5 Pro, featuring an RTX 5060 Ti GPU, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, and 16GB DDR4 RAM, is estimated to cost around $1,530, slightly less than the $1,580 price of the PS5 Pro console.
- Opting for an AMD-based build with an RX 9060 XT GPU can reduce costs to approximately $1,300 while still delivering performance on par with or better than the PS5 Pro in some games.
- For a tighter budget, a PC matching the base PS5 specs with an RX 6600 XT GPU and 1TB SSD can be built for about $1,050, capable of running most recent games at high settings but with limited ray tracing performance.
- Building a PC offers customization and potential performance benefits but can be complex and costly; alternatively, gaming laptops priced similarly to the PS5 Pro may suit casual players seeking convenience over maximum performance.
