Boil it down to basics, and the PS5 Pro is a $200 premium for a GPU upgrade. The rest of the PS5 Pro’s hardware hasn’t changed much. But the uplift from $500 to $700 puts the Pro into territory where it might just have to fight to justify its existence. As a gaming platform, a $500 PS5 versus a $500 ‘gaming’ PC was always a bit of a non-starter. It’s just not enough money to build a decent entry-level rig. But $700? Well, that’s a little more plausible.
In graphics rendering terms, you’ll struggle to match a PS5 Pro with a $700 PC. The new PS5 Pro has a revised GPU with 60 AMD compute units. That’s the same as a desktop AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, which goes for $475 and upward on its own, and to which you need to add a case, motherboard, CPU, memory, storage, and power supply, at minimum.
