But I don’t need to buy an entire pc “every generation” I can just buy a new GPU, and a low tier XX60 series or equivalent is always going to be faster than a console.
Depends an rtx 2060 costs around £120 nowadays pair this with a cheap sandy bridge ivy bridge quadcore 8gb of ram or 16 if your feeling fancy and a 256gb ssd and 1tb hdd and you got yourself a decent computer
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.
Computers aren’t cheaper though. Hell, you can barely even get a decent GPU for the price of an entire console.
Got my rx6600 for 250 cad (180usd) and it ran every game I threw at it at medium-high

Except the year the new console is released since they’re being sold at a loss, assuming they’ll make up the difference in game sales.
Yep exactly this I’m using an i7 3770 and 10gb ddr3 In my own rig I intend on buying a rx 560 for it as an upgrade for my current gpu

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