The things with consoles are that the games are optimized for them, so they run the games very well.
It's because the consoles run at lower graphics settings then most people run on there gaming PCs
@@firexallst4rz277Most people choose story, experience and budget over graphics these days
@@firexallst4rz277 Not exactly, old gen consoles maybe but next gen consoles run games in 4k even with ray tracing sometimes. The games are optimized for them, it's not the graphical settings.
@@zwombie they run at 4K with RT, but the graphics settings itself are not maxed out.
@@riot9179 that guys still wrong he said most consoles run lower graphics settings when not everybody has 3K to spend on a PC
optimization plays a huge part as its "easier" to uptimize consoles since theres usually only one playstation and one xbox for example but pc's have numerous builds so it becomes a bit more difficult to optimize
It shouldn't be though if you think about it. What to they create these games on? PC's. Just add more graphics settings, which a lot of games do, and there you go.
@@mv223 They create and test them on a console development kit with the exact specifications of whatever console platform is being used (PS5, XSX) not PC. When they are creating a game in say Unreal engine, they are using hardware and code on the development kit. The Kit is plugged into a PC only to access file/project data etc. This is the reason for optimisation they are specifically developing it on the hardware.
@@mv223 That's not how that works though, sure the code is made in a PC, but the code written isn't a code FOR PC, each system has different firmwares. I mean if PC is JUST PC, why aren't all games in MAC and Unix PCs? If all apps are on a phone, then why is there an iOS and Android version? You're hypersimplifying here.
@@Valorhammer I get all that. My point is, if they weren't so damn lazy they could easily make it good for all.
@@mv223 No, that's the thing, you said "if they weren't so damn lazy" tells me you don't get it all. So I'm gonna oversimply: porting a game from one OS to another isn't copy paste kind of BS. It's literally recreating the game to fit that OS. An analogy would be, someone creating a fully articulated figure out of Legos (no Bionicles) and the same person has to make the same figure - looking entirely the same - but with K'nex.

Not to mention optimizing done by game studios is different for PS5 vs old PC. Few years ago it's performance level was measured around equal a 2070, currently in Alan Wake 2 the PS5 seems to do better as the 3070. The PS5 hardware didn't change but the Studio made more effort for the PS5

@@DeathStriker88 apparently u never played FFX2 lmfao
The PS5 does not seem to do better as the 3070. The graphics are just way lower on the PS5 than on the PC so it runs faster.
@@DeathStriker88 Tell that to all who played Gollum
I have an upper-midrange PC from around 3 years ago (£1200), a PS5 (£479.99) and an Xbox Series X (£399). The consoles definitely offer way better value for casual gamers that only play a handful of games, but PC starts to make a lot more sense if you are the type of person (like me) that plays multiple games every month. My PC outperforms the consoles by a decent margin, but the biggest benefit is that I save £20-40 on every game I buy for it. Over the last three years I have saved well over £1500 on games compared to what they would have cost me if I bought them on console instead due to access to sales, multiple giveaways and key selling sites. PC gaming definitely is a "go big or go home" type of industry though. If you are spending less than 800 on a system, you are likely better off just buying a console.
In my country the consoles are way more value for money for casual gamers even including expensive games which consoles have . Things have changed a lot in the last 10 years
Can save all your money, just pirate the game
on ebay u grab a 1050ti 70-80$ dell opt plex with i5 6500 or i7 6700 50-70$ ssd 20$ flash drive 3$= 153-173$ i sold this many time for 300$ I've only heard good things from my customers 120 FPS on fortnite
The only way you are saving £40 on each game you buy is if you are not waiting for a sale on console or you are pirating your games on pc, and you can buy game keys on console too, at least on Xbox.

For PC you should also factor in free online multiplayer, no need for subscriptions, access to the largest selection of games available, and cracked games for single players.
let me translate it real quick, get hackers and cheaters for free, access to a larger stolen keys on questionable websites, free games with free virus, troyans and malware on my pc besides I don't give a shit about game developers who make the games I love so I pirate all of their games like the rat I am
Also open for upgrades, mods for games. Spot on with the internet!! 👌 Having to pay subscription on top of already pay for internet.
Exactly just got a pc and have a ps5 but thinking about selling
There are also a lot of things you can do on a PC that is either harder or non-existent on a console.
Ps plus has hundreds of games for for ~12$ a month
My opinion is that the PS5 and Series X are better for this money because the game is optimized for the hardware, and the consoles have been mass-produced. On the other hand, a PC is unfortunately more expensive, but it offers much more customization. Due to the recent increase in hardware prices, I personally switched to Xbox.
But if you really spend a lot of money on PC, you can get up to 500 fps. I am planning to sell my xbox and get a PC instead. The PC I am buying costs about $585 AUD and provides: Core i7, RAM 16GB, SSD 1000GB, GEFORCE GTX 1060, WiFi, NEW RGB Case, Windows 10, M1. I think i will buy a seperate graphics card becuase 1060 is too low and 2060 or 3000 would be better. The advatage of PC gaming is that it is Upgradable and in future you can get even better graphics card and keep the system up to date with the latest technology. But yes it can get very very expensive.
@dudepowerful5757 bruh the specs you have the 1060 or 2060 are trash and no way they will beat the PS5 To get performance better than the PS5 you will have to spend $850+

Pc can be expensive if you want a great gaming experience but personally I think the console can be costly too considering you have to pay for online service, and the fact that these companies are buying into the idea of digital properties. On the other hand PC has free online service and some new game can be played for free through piracy, the only disadvantage I see Pc having is poor optimization for games of which I know these companies want y’all to upgrade your cards. Your PC thus can be a working space unlike these consoles.

Half the games that come out on PC don’t work for months, Hogwarts legacy, call of duty, Star Wars, last of us part 1, Elden ring. These games worked and played almost flawlessly on consoles.
Just shows both Microsoft and Sony were far less conservative this time with the hardware then last gen and actually pushed toward the higher end Now 3 years into the generation ( usually about halfway) i bet we will see devs really show us what these machines can do it will be interesting
GTA 6 will probably be one of those games pushing it to the limit
The best game's always came towards the end of it's life
Given how many people complain about optimisation id say most people had a pc worse than it in 2022 and 2023 was a wake up call for people to upgrade then the average pc catches up. Say what you want about consoles they are decent value especially at launch
on the flip side of that, it wont be long until games push past current gen consoles' abilities and there's nothing you can do about bad performance since its a console. and when they get old and begin to run poorly just in general, your only option is replacement. You should see my old ps4's performance lol
@@owenbowen2752yes
yo, not sure who noticed but this dude drives a f**king Porsche. crazy car crazy content. hell yeah
really good idea for a video, ive wondered about this. what i will say is that its easier to justify spending a little more on pc because it can be used for more things and games will feel better on pc because of lower input lag. and also graphics settings between platforms isnt the same, should also be noted that maxing out a game isnt the same quality as console, there is resources out there where people have matched up the settings (digital foundry etc). but its clearly alot easier to buy a console than it is to try find a good value cheap pc, overall decent video
You could've gotten similar (and possibly better) performance to the PS5 if you built the PC yourself from used components. Something like a Ryzen 5 5500 and an RTX 2070 Super would've done the trick.
not everybody would want a used pc and obviously it wont last long

Issue i’ve started to have with consoles is losing access to your games. Recently got a mini pc and bought a load of my games i either have or had on console. I’m not saying I’ll never lose access to them, but they seem to last a lot longer on PC. If I upgrade to a better PC i’ll still be able to play the games, on PS5 i don’t have access to my PS3 library, i even bought Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon on PSN for PS3 and its on PS4/5 but i have to buy it again. But on performance what you get with PS5/XBX you cant match on PC without paying a lot more
The performance thing is definitely true, but I personally also prefer PC as not only can it run games, but also it can be used for a HUGE amount of more things like work, running businesses, social media platforms, and so many more that make it a undeniable win for PC when your looking at the grand scape of capabilities. Also PCs can be upgraded as much as you want to your standards and modified in so many more ways. I see PC as the win in any argument here as most people tend to focus on performance and games only when there is so much more to be seen in the grand scheme.
If you need a PC for work, you get a PC for work. Why even compare it to something that exclusively does gaming and media playing? Cause for that purporse it's not even close if you conisder new prices.
With a lot of ps4 games atleast, you get free upgrades to PS5.
@@cybercery5271 That’s true. I have upgraded a couple.
This is called marketing. See Sony made such console and gave it such a price, so that it seems appealing at first, but where they actually earn is when u buy games that cost 5000rupees(60usd) to 8000(100usd) and then they purposely give u 825 GB SSD so that u spend money on extra SSD and if u want 8k resolution be ready to spend 2,50,000 rupees(3125usd) on a new 8k OLED TV. The normal controllers that already costs about 5000 rupees(65 usd) have stickdrift problem, due to which u spend 18000 rupees(225usd) on an edge controller u have to spend more than 2,86,000 rupees(3575 usd) if u want a perfect ps5 setup, there is much more than this but these are the main ones i have listed, and over that the past console games becomes useless which is really annoying, judging by how much u had to spend to buy those games. Few years and the ps4 games will become outdated and all the amazing games u had bought would be for nothing, even I went to buy a ps5 myself but I bought a gaming laptop instead as I can do external activities other than games, thats why ps5 deserves an L, but its gaming experience is great that's one thing great about the ps5.
This video does show a lot of the amazing capabilities of next gen consoles, but you also have to relize that this $500 gaming PC is rocking 4 year old parts, before RTX became a big thing, and 4k gaming was still just a dream, if you scalled down to 1080p for all the games, and did medium-low settings you would prob see 100fps or more, and most new pcs cost around 1000-1200 and can run all of these max settings in 4k at prob 40-60fps.
Thats a old gen low end gaming pc by today standards. The huge advantage u getting on the PC u can extremely easy upgrade ur gpu and the story changes at 180 degrees after ^^ he also could get a sh. rx 6600xt for like 150$ if he wants to save more money that gpu its like between 50 or 70% faster compared to that 1660.
The console is three years old (since release) and the spec would of been locked down a year or so earlier than that so….. approx four years

I 'm lucky enough to be able to use both console and PC and I like both. One thing that is rarely considered in these comparisons is the time period. What I mean by that is the console is not upgradable, so you basically pick a generation, say PS5 in this case, and that will perform well for what? 6 years before the PS6 comes. Now you match that to a PC that you will not upgrade either for that 6yrs. Why because to run a $500 console also takes about $80 per year for the Essential membership that would be another $480 over the 6yrs. That presents more options in the budget.

For people looking to find or build a similar PC, you really want a graphics card with at least 8 GB of VRAM (video memory). The RX 580, RX 5700, RX 6600, GTX 1070, RTX 2060 or anything higher end are all decent options that have a bit more video memory and will improve game compatibility and performance.
Last of us part 1 worked fine for me with a gtx 1660 super. And I used to get around 30 to 45 fps in custom high settings
A direct comparison between console and PC is difficult. simply because the consoles play the games in different settings usually some mix of medium, high and ultra. then the vast majority of games are not in native resolution. rather something like 1200p instead of 1440p, then often upscaling or variable resolution. or the classic when rendering on consoles, checkerboarding. So without thinking too much about it, I would say a €500 PC doesn't beat the console. Only a system with an i5 10600k or ryzen 5 3600 with an rtx 2080/2070 super will beat the console.

Dont forget back before June they gave you 160 dollars worth of games for free for buying the console. So in reality you are paying 190 for the machine and dont forget its got its on streaming stick which is 40 dollars.

Honestly you could get a better PreBuild for about $500-$600 that have a better GPU that’ll give you a bit better bang for the buck. GTX 1070 is about 24% better from the base GTX 1660 and the best I found being a 1080ti with about 81% better performance from the GTX 1660.
Holy shit I've been scrolling so long to find a comment like this, thank you.
Great video but games in regards to consoles are optimized specifically for PS5 and settings sometimes can’t be replicated on the PC. Also the tech in the PS5 is better due to the age in the tech in the PC. The 1660 wasn’t designed with Ray-tracing in mind and is basically a 1080p /1440p card. PC gaming is about creating a custom gaming experience on an open platform. If you’re looking for just gaming then the console offers a less expensive option since Sony and Microsoft usually make their money initially from the software sales and sale their consoles at a loss
Yeah but thats also the point of the video, for 500dollars you arent gonna get uch in terms of a good pc. Having a pc is an expensive investment which you will only lose money on. So if youre just looking for an easy and more inexpensive way to play games consoles are probably better.
@@mikkelbendixen6595 You will always lose money on PC as long as you only game on it. It can as well be your workstation and you can earn money with it, which you cannot say about console.
Exactly, A PC solely for gaming doesn't justify it's price but if you wanna do other things on it like programming on the side like me than the PC becomes the obvious choice
Tip for buying used, sometimes you get even better deals from folks selling a case with parts in it. You cn make out like a bandit with a system that’s only missing a gpu
So what price do you need to match the performance of a console on a pc? Is putting in a little more money to $600-800, where you just get a better cpu and graphics card, with the 16gb ram?
not bad, should have just gotten a semi older workstation and put in like a 2060 super, maybe some more ram
Considering dropping my PS5 for PC gaming, sick and tired of making compromises between quality/RT and frame rate. Problem is trying to justify the initial outlay for a PC setup. Free online and cheaper games offset it though.

To make it comparable you would have to also buy a used ps5 and search for a pc with that price. Then you would probably be at 380$. Also you would need to subtract the prices of ur keyboard and mouse from this as the ps5 comes with a controller
You should compare it on cost of ownership - eg how much power do they both consume and how much will you end up paying for subsidstions
The PS5 uses upscaling And dynamic resolution scaling to get its performance. That PC is actually more powerful. This is actually not an apples to apple's comparison. I think this guy said he was in Canada. Well, here in the US, you can definitely find A PC with a RTX3060 in it for $500.

Like someone once said :PC units come in so many configurations, Cpu, Gpu, Ram etc. It's so very hard to optimise games for such platform whereas consoles have the exact same configuration for thousands of units, therefore it's easier to plan and execute games for that. However, a Pc can play all kinds of games both Pc and Pc ports for consoles, you can use them for work, 3D rendering, AI and all sorts of other tasks. Again, the age old dispute, consoles versus PC goes down to function : a console only has one function. Also, there are various users, myself included, who simply can't get used to playing with a controler, only mouse and keyboard
What do you think if gaming console start to make it support keyboard and mouse. Then it run browser, Office, or other light productive/multimedia stuffs. As someone who grow up with ps2. If i give my kids PS, i want it able to do schoolwork and study too. Like its powerful enough right? It could be more like game-specialized PC
As an "older" gamer (38), it's just wild to me that we can even have this comparison. Back in my day, consoles could never match up to PCs. Their value back then was just simplicity and easy couch multiplayer, but definitely not performance. The fact that you can have a serious conversation comparing the value proposition based on performance between PC and console shows how much console gaming has changed in recent years.

One difference is previous generations of consoles, a PC for the same price 3 years into the consoles life cycle performed better. This generation of consoles were extremely powerful for the price, and hardware, especially gpus, have gotten significantly more expensive.
For 500 bucks in Eastern Europe you can get Ryzen 3600 with RX 6600 or used 6700.
Initial cost of a PC is higher than a console, but down the line a PC will give you the better deal than a console, since you can always upgrade your hardware for newer gens. Your SSD/HDD, Case, Power Supply, Fans etc. can all be transferred to your next build, and often you can still use the RAM aswell. So you only have to upgrade your Motherboard/CPU and GPU, sometimes not even the Mobo, and for the price of a PS5 you can easily find parts that outclass a PS5 in that regard.
yep. my ps4 has gone to shit in terms of performance now and theres literally nothing i can do bar complete replacement. Something goes wrong or slow on my pc, all i got to do is swap the bad part/parts for a new one.
The reason why these consoles run how should I say better then that budget PC you have is because with consoles they really scale the resolution down or they cut corners when it comes to certain graphics settings with the PC that's not the case. For instance on Digital foundry videos they compare both the PC and consoles settings to see what the console settings are running then they try to match those settings on PC.
Not only that he was using the wrong GPU. Lots of stuff missing in this video, it's misleading.
A few things that are important: You can use your PC also for doing work/school, watching youtube/twitch, doing mails etc. Also you can upgrade the PC when you have more money, and it isnt that expensive because you can buy used parts. Also I think he would have gotten a better performance if he would buy single PC Parts, also used.
what I'm getting from this video and from reading some of the comments is that I should get myself a PS5 and an Xbox Series S in addition to a basic laptop that I'd use for everything else but gaming and I'll be set
I brought mine about 450usd, i5 8500, rtx 3060 12 gig, 16gig ram and 512ssd, everything new except cpu and gpu( still got 2 years warranty), upgrade the cheap psu to budget corsair..
and if you had actually done the digital version which is the true comparison vs PC then its even more of a difference in price.
I would still go with pc because in a few years the $80 a year will make it not worth it and you can sell pc parts to upgrade it and I specced out a $580-$604 pc that beats the ps5 and has really good upgrade options
@@Riptide2k You also do that with console. I have a 1650 with a 3200g and instead of buying a 6700 or 6650xt and a R 5500 which would be the minimun in price to match the PS5 Cpu plus the necessary PSU since I only have a 500w one, I sold the ps4 to the very same store I bought my ps5, the PC upgrade would have cost 450 dollars, while the ps5 was 200. SInce I only play single player games I dont need Ps plus. If I were to buy only full price games ( which I dont unless its something like God of War Otherwise I wait at least 6 months or until the first sale) I would have to buy 25 games on the ps5 to make the dfference with the PC upgrade, I dont even own 20 games on my psn account a since I bought the ps4 in 2016. But more importantly and the real reason I upgrade console first than my PC was due to the PS exclusives, I wanted to play XVI and Spider man 2 without having to wait years.
@@fanmovie357 I don’t think that’s a fair comparison to start with because the 1650 and 3200g is kind of trash. Anyways most people need online look how many people want to play mw3 and the ps5 digital is kind of bad in my opinion because your locked to the play store and waiting 6 months to play a game is annoying to say the least
@@Riptide2k The 3200g and 1650 are a more powerful combination than the ps4, the point was, I can sell a console to a store right away in my country, I cannot do the same for PC components. Having a digital ps5 is the same as having steam, and I never bought a disc game for my ps4 because in my country the PSN sales get usually far cheaper, Last game bought was Lost Judgement for 14 dollars, the same game goes for 20 at the lowest where I live.
Your calling a gpu that cost 140 to 400 on average calling them trash and your telling someone a console isn't worth the money go snort some more coke bro
you should pair 1660super or 1660Ti with i5 9400F so it wouldn't do any stutters and bottlenecks and first of all you should built your pc not to buy the prebuilt ones because there could be many scams with these devices.
Not prebuilt. Its just a preowned pc
the thing here is, with the computer you can run games for ps1, ps2 and ps3 using emulators and a lot of ps4 games has a port for pc as the ps5 games, so in general with a 500 dollars PC you can play almost all the games for sony plataforms, a thing you can only dream of ON a sony plataform (ps5)
itll cost more since you’d need to buy a monitor, mouse and keyboard, headset perhaps a wifi dongle, a gaming mat and maybe a compatible controller for your pc. Plus you need to buy games again on platforms like steam, epic or gog.
paying $500 for a 9th gen i5 and a 1660 is crazy considering you can get a 5th gen Ryzen 5 or 13th gen i3 and RX 6600 build *BRAND NEW* for the same price, yes, the 6600 is still behind the PS5 but just add FSR 3.0 and Fluid Motion Frames and you get PS5 level performance Of course this PC is not gonna be as good as a PS5, it's not even as good as a Series S 💀

I absolutely love my PS5! It's a fantastic console, especially for someone like me who enjoys diving into captivating story games rather than intense competitive ones. The PS5 handles most games seamlessly, delivering stunning visuals at 4K with 30-60FPS or 1080p at a buttery-smooth 120FPS. However, if you're a hardcore gamer investing at least four hours daily in competitive play, a high-powered gaming PC might be the ultimate choice-I'm starting to feel the itch for one myself!

May be but for me since play a competitive game for a long time start to move away, I guess my 4 gaming PCS not that bad with mix Ryzen 5 3600x/3600 + 32gb ram + 6600xt / 6700xt all run gaming well enough for me but after long day with work I don't know I enjoy build PC anymore haha Other problem is gaming optimize is not easy on pc since that so many configurations. But most modern game should run fine but I'm still have crash problem sometime but it not serious need time to figure it out sometime compare to console that just power up and play.

@@WassinOnCrack To the best of my knowledge, the current situation is that the quality isn't as high as expected. Personally, I've noticed a downgrade to FHD even though my TV supports 4K at 120Hz. The capability of the PS5 is advertised on the box to handle 4K at 120FPS and 8K; however, it seems that the full potential is yet to be realized, and further development is required to achieve those specifications.
@somebody4763 damn, I think I'm going to save up for a pc anyway...much more possibilities, especially in the games I play
I don’t know what software you are using to count framerate but 45fps in Performance RT mode for Miles Morales is just incorrect. Maybe it was a bug but my LG C2 tells me Performance RT can go straight up to 80 fps no problem with no frame doubling
I purchased a Skytech Blaze II used on eBay for $215 after taxes and shipping. AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD (OS), 1TB NvMe M.2 2880 SSD (For Games). Came with a RTX2080, however I grabbed a ASUS RTX 3060Ti for $300 after taxes and shipping off Amazon. So $515 and this PC out performs my XBox Series X and PS5 easily. Only bonus to the consoles is they load about 15-20 seconds faster. But the PC's performance and graphics blow the consoles away, so extra 15-20 to load your game is nothing.
so hes getting 45 fps at 4k settings ultra on spiderman for pc, then he turns it down to 1080p and only gets 70fps. somethings not right here
1080p with FSR 2.1 ON, the fsr is a big factor
the gpu isnt being able to be used at 100% because of such a low resolution and qulity preset and fsr, if the quality preset was higher then the pc will give more or same fps without even fsr because it will get used more
You can build a pc surpassing ps5 for around 500 for sure
Tell me the specs then bro
I guess in this day and age it is hard to go by without a laptop or PC for work, personal use or studying. Thus it becomes a choice of getting a PC for personal use + a console for gaming, or you can get both in one machine. Besides you have to compare the total cost of gaming as PC games go on sales more often and there are plenty of giveaways. Also imagine that one day you wanted to get into gaming content creation.

I definitely agree that as far as value in that price range, console is definitely better. But, PC is definitely better if you're willing to spend more, really just personal preference

The main advantage of consoles besides the bang for buck, is they just work! No Windows or DirectX crashing. I own both a PS5 and gaming PC and I spent most of 1 whole day recently trying to figure out why Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 kept crashing with a DirectX error. I finally figured it out after much trial and error. Contrast this with the PS5; it never crashes. No worries there.

One thing worth mentioning you don’t have to pay to play online so technically you can pay less overtime for example Xbox live gold is $60 and you pay for it for 5 years that’s $300 the pc overall can be cheaper
PC users will spend $2000 over 5 years "futureproofing their system". If we're saying things "worth mentioning".
If you want to look at it that way, using an older console as an example, PS4 & online subscription from 2013-2020 would cost a total of £770. If you built a PC in 2013 with a £770 budget it would struggle to play any tripleA game released after 2018 at 1080p/60fps. Budget PC hardware is not future proof.

@@anita.byou can do that but you dont have to do that. You can upgrade at any time at any price range you deem worth it.

The ps5 and pc will degrade in performance overtime so make a pc youd be happy with the performance with years down the line. Which leads nicely into mid gen upgrades if/when we get one which also adds to the cost. Moreso if you collect consoles making it another 500 dollars purchase. We can also count in the new console itself since assuming backwards compatibility you can do like pc gamers and hold out as long as possible but if you want the nice new shiny performance you will have to shill out whatever that price is and whatever games you rebuy for your new box.
