Could have used some better games for the comparison but it still shows that you don't need to spend so much to get a PC that can match or exceed console quality

Which one won?

these are always pointless since we've gotten to the point where people automatically assume that whatever visual vomit produced on console is something that pc gamers would actually want in their games.

eg. stuff like motion blur, chromatic shit and depth of field being unable to be turned off on console and therefore the benchmark comparisons should apparently only be done with those shitty effects on in PC games.

Really? a $500 PC runs better than a $500 PS5 even though the PS5 is sold at a loss?

By reducing a lot of quality settings to match console levels

Basically he specifically picked games with high framerate/low resolution modes to get games that are stressing out the CPU more than the GPU so the PC looks more favourable.

Games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion wouldn't fare as well as they are GPU limited.

Uh yeah bullshit

I have a 2700x and a 1070 and I'm not getting nearly as much performance as my PS5. Cold War I average around 80-90 fps while the PS5 is virtually locked at 120fps. I also can't get 4k-30 on most games let alone 4k-60 that some games on the PS5 can do.

It's fake pc gaming elitist bullshit.
