Solid solid video. similar to what you said, It's not like we don't know that the console specs are obviously behind modern PC specs, but for the cost? Consoles are very efficient. Like you said 500 isn't even going to get you close to what the PS5 can do if you were trying to put a PC together. As we all know, consoles are not made to compete with high-end PCS they are made for peace of mind and longevity. You'll almost never have to replace parts with better Parts because the long-term is built in from the start. You buy it one time and you are good to go for at least the next 5 years plus. And if I was a console person seeing this video thinking to myself wait a second they're using five-year-old Hardware in my brand new system? Yes, yes they are but that's fine because it's designed this way and the cycle continues perfectly fine. Not a bad deal

Digital Foundry covered the issue with the game's original implementation of it's 120 Hz mode: TV compatibility. Some TVs will accept either a 1080p/120Hz or 4K/60Hz output - this is all hunky dory until the source device forces 120Hz, all the time. This forced many displays - like mine, an LG C8 OLED TV - to display at 1080p/120Hz, regardless of the graphical options selected in game. In other words, with the old implementation, even if I turned off HFR mode and opted for 4K/60Hz rendering, the game would still output at 120Hz. The TV, seeing a 120Hz signal, would toggle back to 1080p/120Hz, meaning I am now seeing the game downsampled from 4K to 1080p.
This problematic implementation essentially meant that some displays would always show the game at 1080p, regardless of the options selected, due to the 120Hz output being forced.

I'm really wondering about this test. 1. just comparing the GPU performance. The 1060 or 580 are more equivalent to the GPU power of the Xbox One X, which had was it 4 or 6 TF? Now the PS5 has double the TF. 2nd the Unreal Engine 5 that was showcased on a PS5 or the new Demon Souls on the PS5 show that the console is capable of far more than these native games that are basically old gen versions slightly patched for current gen. Uncharted 1 and The Last of Us were both on the PS3 but looked like there was a whole generation between them. Same could be said for the PS4 if you compare let's say Battlefield 4 and Battlefield V.
This test might work for games right now but this PC won't hold up nearly as good as the PS5 in 4-5 years.

It's a really good video, but don't forget the fact that within that 500 dollar for the playstation the controller and a blu-ray player are also included. Also, as seen with the ps4 the optimization for games and thereby performance will increase overtime. It's obviously not going to beat an Ryzen 7/9 (5000 series) with an rtx 3080, but I do think that if you were to re-do this test in a year or two the results might change, where it'll perhaps meet the 1070ti or maybe even 1080ti in non raytracing settings.

Eternal cycle of console fanboys:
This new console is much stronger compared to PC's than previous generation when it was released, you need 2000 PC to match it
console releases and realization that you get exactly what you payed 500 for kicks in
Oh well, it's not about the performance, it's about the games
7 years later new gen consoles get hyped
These new consoles are nothing like previous generation, you need 2000 PC to match it
Rinse and repeat ad-infinitum

These results are quite bizar. ps5 is 10 teraflops, gtx 1060 is 4.4
There are many examples of the gtx 1060 being the pc equivalent of a ps4 pro in gpu performance.
In cyberpunk the 1060 can't really do 1080p 60fps, while it runs at dynamic 1080p to 1440p on ps5 at 60fps.
I'm not doubting your measurements at all, I just think these 2 games aren't very representative, at least not in their 120fps modes.

NVDA has essentially abandoned gamers for shopping bots and direct to miner sales. AMD's response has been to jump on the NVDA bandwagon w higher prices and bot friendly distribution. I wont be rewarding the disloyalty, in any way. But its very likely that NVDA is no longer interested in serving the gaming market. (though, they would undoubtedly like to retain our interest)

This comparison doesn't make much sense but OK lol Testing 3 games that were just patched in a hurry to work on PS5 is way different when they start making games that are only for next gen. Performance in those games will be much better on consoles then on a PC with a similar price. So make a video like this in 6 months, this one is just for clickbait.

Hey guys!!
Please test the 5600X on B550/X570 and then B450/X470 boards. And maybe with the Ryzen 3600 next to it.
To see if it is a good idea with a 3600 and X470 to upgrade to a 5600X - which should work with a BIOS Upgrade
Would be interesting to see Ryzen 5xxx performance on older Boards.

The only thing I can see that could be improved is using a CPU that would be in stock like the i3-9100F rather than the r3 3300x so that if someone wanted to make the PC for gaming and other PC things right now they can. However, I do see that this is about dispelling the hype and false promises, so good job Steve.
