$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

You absolutely will not get anything that runs even remotely decently with ray tracing on in any recent title.

For the fair comparison you're only allowed to buy new, not used parts. So, for 700$ you won't even be able to put together a decent system with a 3070 in it.

"Oh but i don't care about ray tracing" -- nice copium.

I got a cheaper AMD GPU specifically because I do not give a fuck about ray tracing. Also just look at the steamdeck, you can get great performance for very cheap nowadays. It might not be as powerful or nice as a PS5 Pro, but the $700 computer has many advantages in its favor

"Performance".

PS5 mostly runs connected to a 4k TV. I wanna see your steamdeck do that.

Is that a PS5 in your pocket or you're just happy to see me?
