So theres no difference between GDDR 4 and 6? Why are they distinguishing ps5 ram as GDDR 6, pretty misleading. The pc build has GDDR 4 listed why not call it that?
For all intents and purposes DDR and GDDR are the same. GDDR just offers an increasing amt of bandwidth as the number associated with it gets higher. PCs dont use shared memory and CPUs dont need nearly as much bandwidth as GPUs. It makes sense to use cheaper/slower memory for the CPU.
Lol what? PC components sell for MSRP. Scalping is not the same as selling in stock.
Thank you for the explanation. I guess it's a matter of pricing then? Or is the latency question different? I ask because I thought the price of VRAM is what makes GDDR not suitable for use as DRAM, but with a sub-$350 GPU expected to launch with 12GB of GDDR6, I have to question why it wouldn't just be used as general RAM in your average system.
You got as much chance at getting a PS5 for $400 as i do a 3080 for $699. As in, Zero.
Would a comparison based around viewing distance and visual acuity have been a better idea? This chart comes to mind:
And the calculator on their site gives out the following visual acuity distances (beyond which you likely cannot discern between individual pixels):
24" 1080p monitor: 96cm
55" 4k TV: 114cm
65" 4k TV: 131cm
Perhaps if the majority of pc players with 1080p monitors are playing at a similar distance, the perceived image quality isn't appreciably worse when playing at 1080p on that monitor compared to 4k on a much larger TV due to viewing distance?
Speaking from experience, a 3080 is a bit more realistic. Not all too much, but enough.
Thats not true, i just snagged a PS5 for 500$ and had an option for DE for 400$ and when they are listed they are always msrp, in comparison every single retailer list all 30 series gpu for like 50% more than msrp so its literally impossible to buy at a normal price at least in my country.
LOL another one, where is this magical country you hail from buddy?
After actually watching the video I had to ask - did you watch it? He compare the games in their "performance" modes which means that they do actually run close to 1080p on the PS5 most of the time - sometimes even below that. So the comparison seems valid.
A game for example runs on dynamic 4K and can "sometimes" drops to 1080p on 3090 should be compared to 1080p on 1060 according to you, cause all that matters is "performance"
The youtube comment section is absolute cancer if you sort it with newest first. Watch this video get weaponized by r/pcmr for any future discussions regarding consoles.
Probably, I'd imagine not only is it more scarce it's also the places they sell it. Have very little bot protection. Often they're sold out before they even go up it seems like.
I think him making the conclusion that the ps5 is like a mid range pc from 5 years ago kind of makes him look suspect, as well as the original title of the video lol.
I have a 1080Ti PC and I tested a lot of multiplatform games between the three systems (PC, PS5, XSX). In most games these consoles are either on par with my PC or surpassing it. This is why I made so many posts in this thread, because this video is so misleading and comes to some ridiculous conclusions.
Indeed, at the end of the video he clearly compares the PS5 to a 6 years old PC, so he really thinks that the PS5 is equal to a gtx 1060, also if that wasn't the case the video would have no reason to exist.
Yes it is a pretty bad video, maybe he's still recovering from that Nvidia things, if you want a PC comparable to a PS5 you can't go lower than a RTX 2060 Super and Ryzen 3600
Nope. Those cards were sold at their MSRP like 2 or 3 days ago. Different AIBs are over NVIDIA's MSRP, sure, but that's no different from the DE and regular PS5 having different MSRPs, because they are different models.
The United States? Though I didn't really realize pricing is much worse in other countries where retailers do just add their own margin to the GPUs because why not. That's not right.
I'm sure some are bad actors, but the bias in the video isn't exactly hidden, either.
They are using a gtx 1060 in the video so i'm not sure what point you are trying to make with this comment.
GN pulled the equivalent of coming home from grocery shopping and finding out the milk you bought is already expired.
This will age terribly, like what was he thinking by releasing this? Both consoles are already impressive with dynamic 4K 60FPS modes, and the best is yet to come: Horizon 2, Ratchet, Ragnarok, Noughty Dog's next game, Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport 8, etc. etc.
I don't know why they'd be doing it *now* either. When DMC5 came out almost two years ago. And even then, wooo you can play DMC5 on a $500 PC. Without the option for ray tracing that the PS5 version gives you. For $100 less.
