I would rather get this gaming PC for WQHD than the PS5 Pro

Play the latest top Steam titles like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 in beautiful WQHD resolution with this gaming PC. Save now at MediaMarkt.

The PS5 Pro costs a whopping €950 with a drive and stand. If you want to play online and get the most out of it, the premium subscription will cost you over €1100. Plus, almost all games cost a lot more. That’s why I recommend this top PC, which gives you high-end details in WQHD. You’ll also benefit from Nvidia’s powerful DLSS technology and the third-generation RT cores. You’ll have a lot more frames and better ray tracing effects.

Plays more smoothly now than with the upcoming PS5 Pro

The PC costs a little more, but gives you significantly more performance in the long term. You are also much more flexible with a gaming PC and can experiment in various areas such as modding. It would even be able to play all games in high 4K details. The RTX 4070 Super is actually a little stronger than my RTX 3090. It just doesn’t have enough video memory to be future-proof in 4K. But don’t worry, because games also look fabulous in a WQHD resolution.

  • Grab this gaming PC for awesome ray tracing effects Gaming PC vs. PS5 Pro

    With the Intel Core i7 12700KF you have twelve cores available, instead of just eight cores in the Zen2 processor in the PS5 Pro. On top of that, the Intel CPU is much more powerful at 5.0 GHz than the 3.85 GHz that the new console offers.

    The mid-range processor of this PC is so good that it can almost compete with the famous AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D can keep up. When it comes to gaming, it has to take a step back, but it costs on average 50 percent less than the Ryzen king.

    The graphics performance of the PS5 Pro, however, is expected to about the same level as an RX 7700 XT This has acceptable values ​​together with FSR, but cannot keep up with the power of an RTX 4070 Super. Look at the values ​​between AMD RX 7700 XT vs Nvidia RTX 4070 Super exactly.

    In addition, an RTX 4070 Super strong ray tracing performance. Still, no one can compete with Nvidia in this regard.

    The Upscaling technology PlayStation Spectral Resolution (PSSR) will massively increase the performance of the console. However, I personally doubt that this technology will be able to keep up with DLSS. We can only wait and see.

    Discover the gaming PC at MediaMarkt Generous RAM and fast SSD in the gaming PC

    With 32GB DDR4 RAM (3200 MHz) this PC is ideal for multitasking. You can run several applications at the same time and have no lag. Unless you are working in development or implementing difficult content projects, DDR5 RAM is not really necessary.

    A stately gaming PC with strong gaming performance

    The 2TB SSD hard drive ensures lightning-fast loading times for the operating system and games, as well as enough space for your entire game library and files. After all, even the huge game Red Dead Redemption 2 would fit on it over 15 times, and that’s saying something.

    The MSI B750M-PLUS motherboard is a solid core that provides you with connectivity options such as WIFI 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. It makes the most of the synergy between all components.

    My final opinion

  • What I find exaggerated is the marketing around 8K promises at Sony. Even 4K has not yet reached the entire market and many people see little difference to 4K and WQHD on smaller screens.
  • After all, 4K only makes sense with really large screens from at least 32 inches and upwards – due to the higher pixel density.
  • So do you prefer to play smoothly and long-term in WQHD? Or only half-heartedly with 4K/WQHD and compromises? Remember, that PC games are cheaper, you can work with useful office programs and even mod.
  • In addition you save yourself the PS+ subscriptionthat costs you money every year just to play online. Sure, you’ll have a comprehensive game library, but it would be nicer if it regularly contained current blockbusters.
  • Invest a little more and get so much more
