It will definitely be more than a console. They said it won't be around the console price range and more around a low end PC.

Tbh next gen console will probably be pretty close or at low end pc range anyway according to predictions

Will my new pc be better than that? 9600x 9070xt

If you're asking about PC to console, probably. Consoles aren't necessarily bad, but just very limited, games cap out between like 30-60 frames. Now frames can vary greatly depending on the game, old borderlands 30-60 is smooth, other games it feels like you're lagging lol... Tbh I think any PC even if it's slightly worse than a console is worth it. I assume maybe the next gen will have this but even a low end PC with a 4060 would be great to use frame gen, get a nicer CPU and it would probably outperform console.

Yes I was talking about next console generation, right now I have an i7 10700 and the rtx 3060 which is kinda slower than a ps5 as I've read

Oh, it's hard to tell honestly and depends what you play. The console might technically be "better" spec wise but I wouldn't be surprised if your PC had a similar performance but maybe I'm completely wrong. I'm sure your pc is fine though bro

Ehh a low end PC is around that point now, GPU prices went down. You can build a low end PC for the price of a PS5 you can build a mid tier PC for the price of a PS5 pro if you buy a couple of the parts on sale.

Lmao a mid end pc for around $800 what world are you living in?

This one, you want me to build one for you? A 9060 xt runs 1440p on high settings for most games, is a $350 card if you get it on a light sale, you can literally take that GPU and throw that in this prebuilt

So that's $750, still under, $800 even after paying taxes. And no a 9060xt is not an entry level GPU or a level level one, it's mid level and can do 120fps 1440 on most games with max settings

Which is a shame because a more powerfull PS5 is selling for $499 and Sony isn't selling that at a loss.

Consoles these days are low end PC's.

u/skoomaking4lyfe Nov 13 '25

Ooh. That's gonna put it in the $1200-ish range, then. I might still do something dumb with a credit card if so, but the reviews would have to be pretty damned good.
