So the tested PC hardware reflects the experience for those that do not have modern i5/i7 and non Zen 3, which is the lions share of the market and cements my point, although this was not a versus video more about the PS5 BC quality and how it compared for some context.
Again, you are speaking in absolutes and ideals, the market (by very nature) will have a collection of specs and mixtures of suppliers.
Taking this game as an example and how often a games performance is discussed in singular portions i.e. this is GPU bound, this is CPU bound.
For HZD and many games throughout a frame and play it will be I/O, MEM, CPU, Cache, ROP, ALU, Bandwidth etc etc etc. In my tiny test here in HZD we can see all of these at points, specific issues that present themselves at various points. You are only as fast as your slowest point and in the small time I have to test I can only cover the obvious stuff and with the hardware I have. When I get more time with a title then I dive deeper but a games performance issues and delivery across platform make and mode almost always comes down to more than a single factor.
Nobody cares if you test on a outdated system that's not representative of the market. U can test whatever u like on whatever u want if you clearly state next towards it in a comparison that u are using outdated hardware and experiences can verify with more modern architectures where this is no longer a issue.
U don't do that instead u dig yourself in and start to come with all kinds of bullshit arguments and make a console warrior video about best played on PS5, while the game is leagues ahead on PC with higher end hardware. If u don't believe so go google top end hardware and horizon and u will see exactly what i mean.
Then u start to dig yourself into a corner when called out and come with a shit argument because u have no argument about "majority of the market" which makes absolute zero sense. Because the majority of the console market isn't having PS5's for its breakfast also.
Hell there are probably more 3080+ Ampere cards in the wild + amd ryzens 5000 series then PS5's sold entirely in comparison. So that argument also falls flat on there face.
But then if you even look further then that. is that if you actually look at the majority of the market.
U have:
1) no clue what cpu they have to start with as steam doesn't say anything about architectures, they just say 4 cores / 6 cores / 8 cores ( far more then ps5's sold by the way ) and majority of them are intel. a 6 core of intel = dwarfs your cpu big time as its a minimum of 8700k at minimum in single core performance and even budget 4 cores already steamrol a 2700 for a while now in 95% of the games. Hell as its intel most of those 4 core chips steamrol a 2700 and we are talking here entirely in far far far more hardware then PS5's ever sold on top of it.
2) those people will never ever go over 1080p, which means far less taxation on there hardware which makes benching at higher resolutions completely pointless, exactly what people also stated with your higher resolutions on a budget card. 4k is very much a pipedream and 1440p is very much a niche resolution PC, 1080p is still the main focus here.
3) they will never use a mixture of PS5 settings, they will use whatever settings give them managable performance, as they give zero fucks about consoles and there settings to to start with. if they did they would have gotten a console at this point
4) only 1 million copy's i think are sold or even less of the game on PC ( maybe more i wouldn't know ) on a userbase that's 120m+ active montly gamers and 1,3b accounts which survey does take into account ( maybe not all ) even if the absolute worst case scenario, only 1,2% of the market is actually playing the game ( at best not even 0,1% at worst ). Compare that towards hardware and u will see a single 3070 card already outperforms that.
Then back to consoles.
If you compare the PS5 market vs the console market and then compare it towards PC market and its hardware, u will soon rather then later realize that the PS5 = infact a premium product for enthusiasts the same as a ton of hardware is on PC right now but will become the standard when time moves on, this also counts for PS5 so comparing it to potato hardware is useless.
Affording hardware:
If you can't afford hardware, nobody blames you for that. We all been there and everybody does on PC whatever they can.
But don't start to make statements as u do in your video that ps5 version si the best version u can play and that includes PC that simple is extremely ignorant and frankly if yhou would have done some googling you would have seen that its nowhere near true at all and sounds incredilbe ignoratnt ot he point of just console warrior behavior. Its just beyond idiotic to mention stuff like this. It kinda makes the entire video idiotic to its core.
Because simple youtube googling and u would see what is possible on PC.
Technical conclusions are also wrong:
Pci-e 4 needed to get smooth frame rate because of bottlenecks. yet pci-e 3.0 isn't getting bottlenecked for shit by this game its not even using a fraction of its bandwidth. its shit coding that's wrong with this game back in the day, and with recent patches they seemed to fixed it and push far beyond what consoles are capable, the reason u see so much issue's is your cpu situation.
Your setup makes no sense and your attitude makes it even worse.
Its your typical build that's made by somebody that doesn't know much about PC hardware and it shows.
As many people already pointed out towards you including me over several video's is your attitude of how you present video's with specifically the PC department, u talk about PC as a unity and if your PC doesn't run it, then that's representative for the entire market as u do at the 12 mark u do this more in other videos. Now this could be true if you actually had hardware to backup your statement like for example this:
A guy with a 3090 and a 5950x not getting good performance and talks for the entire market then yes we can all agree with his take. A guy with a potato PC with mix matches hardware drawing the same conclusion over the entire market is simple ignorant and honestly when that person pretents to be a expert and places himself as such it seems platent trolling, the same reason why the PS5 refresh guy gets massive shit on the internet. U are doing the same thing here.
As i said before and many others.
2700 ryzen isn't representative for the market in any way, and it was never a good gaming CPU even when it launched. its a work CPU. U clinging on it while ~8 year old intel cpu's perform about the same and still clinge towards the idea that somehow any pc developer will optimize for it even while AMD see's it as a product is just you being special.
2070 RTX was never a high resolution card, it can do 1440p with trade offs don't get me wrong, but its a in between 1080-1080ti GTX card in 2022 almost, that's what 5 years old if not 6 years old on rastarisation. I have no clue who adviced you to buy a 2070 to start with, it was never a good card. not for its time period, not now. Its borderline budget i would say in current times.
Anyway lets quit rambling as everybody already pointed it out to you so many times, yet u keep sticking your head in the sand.
Conclusion:
Because i already pointed out to you many times how idiotic your benchmarks are that involve your PC setup and u refuse to move forwards or simple state the obvious to eliminate all the critique in your videos which is easily done as i explained before.
I gave you enough time to improve or at least become reasonable in your video's, because honestly the real issue is not your video is you drawing conclusions in that video that are just laughable wrong not even the material i would say that much and even getting worse with this video and your 12 minute conclusion.
At this point i don't think this guy is improving ever, its clear he lacks the knowledge. Makes up arguments to try to validate his idiotic already lost statements to the point i would just call him either a troll or having a agenda himself aka console warrior,
But then again i am not shocked, tech youtubers in general aren't the brightest these days and i love to shit on them because of that.
His main mistake he ever made was pushing his content on a website i am part off, i like to call these clowns out all day long.

so he can let us know. But I reckon it's SSD in his case and the dips he encountered were most likely stemmed from the reasons he described in the vid.
