Nothing of that demo puts a PC to shame in any way. You're talking about half the story here.
A 2060S would run that demo eyes closed. Even my 1080 would....
You're talking about a
1440p, 30FPS demo. That won't even represent a real case scenario, where developers want to push 4K at 60FPS
So, if you ask me if that is actual gameplay? For me it´s not. It's a demo showcasing the
software developments and upgrades that Unreal Engine Suffered in its fifth version, and it's about what they can do with such new techniques in PS5´s hardware. Yes, its impressive, I don't say it isn´t, but is as misleading as is impressive. Now let's put things like this: Let's ask developers to make the same demo and optimize it for the Tensor Cores, RT Cores and Raster CUDA cores using, let's say, a 2060S... Wouldn't they achieve 4K 30 FPS, if they wanted it?
I remember a few years ago that I would sware to jump from my 1080 to a VEGA 64 .. You see, there are 12 pure, and beautiful TFLOPS there... When I saw benchmarks I wanted to cry, and at the same time thank to god. 1080 was still faster even with "only" 8.9 TFLOPS, but rather a much more optimized raster engine... RTX followed the incredible optmized raster engine (made for gaming, not for computing) , adding additional Tensor (AI) and RT processors, with 12 Tflops on the same based configuration of Maxwell on their Raster engine... So 12 nvidia TFLOPS on a 2080TI, would be like 30TFLOPS on AMD. Imagine DLSS for instance, that is nothing, but brilliant... 70% gains in some games, with a true cinematic anti aliasing... So These are real hardware developments in which developers don´t dedicate their time and attention properly, and then go to the console, Sony pays millions and they do the marketing. So.. yeah.. it´s, after all a question of marketing and not a tecnhical crown.
And of course, don't forget that there are always those who say "Yeah but can build a PC at the price of a console??"
yes, i can. DEFINITELY.
Why?
Because you pay the console, and pay the anual online services during 8 years...
