      Pair a RTX2060 with a 5800X3D and you have a gaming system that no console can compete with for the same price

        Not really. An RTX 2060 only has 6GB of VRAM. A PS5 has 16GB of unified memory, so it’s going to potentially have more VRAM to work with.

        A 2060 isn’t awful, though. That’s what I’ve got in my nearly 4 year old laptop. It can run pretty much everything, although some of the newer games are probably a little too demanding for it to run on the best settings.

          You could have a petabyte of VRam it won’t make up for the fact that consoles have to use less powerful chips due to their form factor and can’t cool appropriately.

            It’s straight up dumb to make the argument that an Nvidia RTX 2060 is more capable than the custom GPU in a PS5.
