even a 7 year old pc with a 1080ti outperforms a ps5. maybe time to switch.

I had the dilemma of being a hardcore PC gamer for 15 years now but ever since I got my home theater setup I cannot justify using a PC in place of the PS5. The PS5 brings loads of convenience, easy of use and compatibility to my setup. HDR support is hit and miss, you can't easily wake the PC from sleep with a controller, no HDMI CEC, and the list goes on. The tradeoff of a less performant console outweighs the cons of a PC for my use case.

yeah console is definitely more convenient re pick up and go. But for quality gaming the PC is superior by far. I personally have both a 4080ti and a PS5 and i almost never turn on ps5 anymore, Media is watched via a Firestick Stick in TV....i should probably sell the PS5.

I use my Steam Deck for home theater stuff, I don't game from my couch much though - super prefer mouse and keyboard. Steam Deck with a gyro-mouse remote and a full keyboard on the back is pretty awesome for browsing YouTube or watching movies

Full keyboard on the back of a deck? I am kinda new to my deck and since getting my home theater stuff setup haven't touched it much.

[–] UnPassive@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

No, sorry, full keyboard on the back of the usb remote I use for my Steam Deck - which is docked

I've researched it a fair bit and for the same price you will never get the same performance on a PC as on a ps5. The issue is that games are highly optimised for the one platform and not optimised for Pc.

On paper the raw specs may be better, but in reality the console almost always performs better.

there are plenty of sites with benchmarks showing a 1080ti outperforming a ps5 in gaming. the cost of a pc with this setup must be close to a ps5 now? maybe not i haven't actually looked :). But yes dollar for dollar you'll probs get best performance from a ps5 if buying current components. If budget is an issue ps5 is definitely a better option.
