I built it one year before the PS5 released, with a mix of mid range and top end parts. Just the CPU was $500, GPU $800, Case $200, etc etc. I think people underestimate how much you have to spend to even MATCH the PS5. You need to spend about the price of the PS5 on just a GPU, unless you’re buying second hand.
The PS5 has a CPU equivalent of a Ryzen 2600. You didn’t have to spend 500 bucks on a CPU to outperform it.
The 3600x was released a year before the PS5, and was $200 on launch. You either got screwed over or don’t know what your talking about?
GPU wise it’s different, but there were compounding factors that inflated the prices. If you got a GPU from before the pandemic, chances are $800 would get you top of the line, which probably outperform the PS5 even to this day.
Now does a PS5 cost less ? Sure, they sell them at a loss and make money on games and online scam subscription services.
Edit: my bad the PS5 has a 3700x, so the 3600x comparison is still valid. Can’t check the release price of the 3700vs3600 but it’s not 2x higher anyway.
Hey that’s some pretty good detective work. I do indeed have a 3600x! I think I might be wrong on the price, maybe it was like $350? Idk. I can’t remember. I still love my pc, and as soon as I get home from vacation I’m upgrading the GPU and hopefully I’ll finally be able to pull 4k30 in all games rather than having to lower internal resolution to around 1800p. I’m definitely a weirdo for preferring 4k to high framerate, but I mostly only play slow paced single player games, so I don’t really mind it and I really enjoy the clarity of image that 4k brings.
The 3700x was 320$ and the 3600x 200$.
But I get you, running games at a higher resolution is prettier than upscaling to get better frame rate.
I think a lot of ppl don’t know that the PS5 is upscaling most games and is not running a native 4k generally. Then they compare to pc hardware that does native 4k and say it’s more expansive 🤷♂️
