PC are falling behind consoles, and it's all because Nvidia and AMD refuse to give low-end and midrange cards enough VRAM.
-Last gen PS4-pro and Xbox-One-X had 8GB VRAM.
PC kept up. Low-end GTX1060 and RX580 had 6-8GB VRAM to match.
-Today, PS5 and Xbox-Series-X have 16GB VRAM.
PC are not keeping up but have fallen behind. With 8GB VRAM that is insufficient to store all the texture assets.
People talk about "badly optimized ports". But there's little you can "optimize" to deal with a lack of VRAM. Developers are not going to redo all their textures for PC.
To you I just say this: watch Control or Red Dead 2 in PS5 and then in a moderate PC (I have a 6650XT - low mid range) so you can see the difference of the Ultra of a PC and PS5... But don't watch on a TV, watch it on a monitor, so you can see the real difference in quality and in speed (Control I reach 100 frames and PS5 does 120 but the PC image has a lot more quality. RDR2 my PC reaches about 70 but just look at the grass, the hair, etc.. ).
I bet that if I new what options the developers use to optimize the game in the PS5 my PC would reach 144 sleeping.
And, again, my GPU is midish-low, proper for 1080p... something like a 6800 xt or a RTX 4070 would obliterate a PS5 on 4k Ultra (and the Ultra of the PC is much better then the PS5 version of the game).
Ray tracing in the PS5 is limited to 1080p and drops to 30 fps except the few games that have ray tracing optimized (I assume something like FSR). With Ray Tracing on and FSR off my gpu achieves 35 fps in Control. A RTX 3060ti or a RX6800 can make 60+ frames (Nvidia is better at ray tracing) and the quality is far superior...
Just watch a PC and a PS5 side by side, same game, same monitor, and you will see the glaring difference in performance and quality between a PS5 and a midish computer.
After that, go watch one of this games in a RTX 4090 in 4k, High, Ray Tracing and cry...
And about the ports: Control and RDR2 were made with the PC in mind, no problem.
Gollum, Last of Us, horizon zero dawn, hogwarts legacy, SW Jedi Survivor (this one had problems in the PS5 also), Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, all games made for PS in mind, bad performance in the PC, so yes, with bad ports it's easy to think PS5 is superior.
