Neither ?

I was ready to buy the ps5Pro but with those specs is a No Go... woudnt mind paying 1000 for a proper upgrade but wont pay 599 for this shit to struggle because of the cpu .... and I dont think is worth it to build a new topend PC midgen

Ill ride this gen with the ps5 and start the next one with a kick ass PC that will get me trough the whole gen.

If sony keeps the ps6 cheap as the pro... Im really out after almost 20 years of console only play.

The fact that sony is changing focus to gaas/multiplayer and their first party SP output has been mostly shit storywise this gen only reinforce my resolve.

Time to move on.. at least for me

Already have a 4090 in the desktop PC and a 4080S in the living room PC. No upgrade plans for the near future. Don’t need a PS5 Pro either when the games are coming to PC.
Will likely buy the next Nintendo console though.

As of last night, I decided I'm getting pretty close to GPU time. Double dipped bg3 and my card is doing just alright. I don't yet have a game that pegs that 8gb but it won't be long before I do.

PS5 Pro for sure. Haven't upgraded my PC since 2016. Really waiting for the next landmark graphical benchmark for that though. Back then, I upgraded specifically for Doom (2016) and Witcher 3.

Unless a few new games come out in the next 12 months that push my 4090 to below 60fps, and that's including DLSS and frame gen etc, big fan btw, then I'll ride the 5xxx gen out and be first in line for the 6090. And no, games aren't already pushing beyond it, they just launch in an unoptimized state and soon get patched to fly. CP2077 with full fat PT etc gets near 100fps with frame gen. As for the Pro, nah, happy with my PS5 Prol and I'll wait out until a PC release for any bangers that require the uplift.

This'll do me until the 6xxxx

Picking up the Pro. Should be a good step up, although, right now I'm playing on a 1080p monitor. Should pair nicely with a new 4K QD 32"

I'm getting nervous, way too many people after the Pro. To avoid my cornflakes being pissed on at launch, I think everyone after a Pro needs to spend an hour in the mind of Haint Haint :

Pro is going to be a $600-$700 waste of money unless you have the mentality of a 12 year old who absolutely has to play certain games day 1, you're paying a premium to be a third class citizen. The $160/year PSN tax just makes it even worse. The $1000 - $1500 5000 series cards will literally be a PS6 Pro leap over the 16TF trash Sony's peddling.

Probably flip my 4090 for a 5090. If i sell at the right time and go without a gmaing computer for a month or two i can probably get away with spending only a couple hundred dollars.

Nah, it translates pretty well in real world, thanks. Not fussed about tiny percentages or fanboy bollocks. Just posting I'll be fine until the 6090. High end AMD or intel, it's all good.

Definitely not advised, historically you will be waiting a minimum of 6 months to buy a 5090 at MSRP unless you happen to pull the powerball numbers on an F5 lottery. Given the enormous sales numbers of the 3XXX's and most of them skipping 4XXX's, pent up demand for 5XXX's will be through the roof. A million+ people are already spamming F5 for the opportunity to give Nvidia $2000 for a base model 5090 before they even announce it, and they'll launch with 10's of thousands of units total. The patreon AI porn farm's alone will clear out inventory for months on end.

Yeah, if I thought I could do an easy flip and get a 5090 for a good few quid off I'd be down. But as you say, historically Nvidia have created a nightmare at launch and I'd rather just game than be stressed with the F5 dance.

I would need to buy a whole new computer, not just a graphics card. If I wanted to do it right I'd go hard and drop thousands. That's not happening, so PS5 PRO it is.

Yeah, i was thinking that. I have a Microcenter close buy and they 25 4090s day 1 with very few people lined up. Not sure i'm willing to test my luck though. Nvidia could easily fix the issue by enforcing contracted pricing (sort of luck game consoles do) but they have never shown any interest in helping their own customers.

They are nice panels. Which one do you have?

I had a VT50 as well but upgraded that to the LG C1 I have today. OLED is the closest thing to plasma these days.

ST60 I believe. Whichever one didn’t have the 3D stuff. And yeah I got a LG CX hooked up to my PC and love it.

Neither, I want to see the games first before making a decision, but usually, I want something like the 10 series from Nvidia, then it's considered safe, on consoles it's simpler, show us the games.

Machine Learning won't make dialogs fancier at least that's how I see it in the near future, if it's not the cpu then what's the selling point?

Content to ride out the OG PS5 and my 4090 rig for another year or two no problem but it's kinda wait and see on both of these.

For PlayStation; Honestly depends on what Sony has shown us by then games wise. I used to buy Sony everything day one but still feeling burned by the whole PSVR 2 purchase. Make us some fucking VR games Sony or don't make the thing in the first place! For Pro; if they have exclusives I really want to play the best version of, then I'll grab one. If their release schedule looks the same as it does right now, where they don't tell us shit about what to look forward to, then I'll hold off.

As far as the 50 cards. Just depends on price and availability. Have a feeling even if they release this year they will be very tough to pick up for awhile; at least until early/mid next year. That and I think Nvidia will try and charge even more than the 40 cards for the 5080 and 5090 variants. Wouldn't be surprised to see the retail at or above 2k for a 5090 with a retailer/manufacturer mark up on top of that. Shit isn't gonna be cheep. Unless you're a VR hobbyist or you need it for work not sure why you would want/need a 50 series card, very niche market of us crazy bastards that wanna see Raytracing in VR games and play path traced Portal.

Part of me says I am done with spending lots of money on video cards

If the 5090 anything above the 4090 price of 1600$/1700$ I am out.

The only thing that would piss me off if the 5090 has some sort of AI game or image enhancements that actually makes a difference and not available / won't be on the 4000 series for the lack of AI

On the other hand. PS5 pro sounds like meh on paper with that weak ass cpu. Not to mention Sony is being cheap these days with parts and if it's anything like the slim, the new console is might be noisy or play the fan lottery. Something I don't want to experience.


So most likely I won't buy either. But the nerd in me says yes to all.

The lack of upcoming games that uses the power of next gen is almost none existence.

The good devs left and only idiots mostly in big companies.

I am not interested in Nvidia showing me the power of 5090 with cyber punk again for the millionth time. " Hey look the 5090 can do ray tracing real time above 100 fps without frame generation added yet" ....who gives a fuck about that or a 3 year old game ..

5000 series easily. PRO is dead in the water lol. I doubt it will be closer to RTX3080 max which is a 3yr old card.

Iam gonna buy the PS5 pro for my home theatre. The next time i build a big PC will be when ashes of creation launches.
Been waiting for like 5 years for that game and could be i will be waiting 5 years more :D.

Maybe, if prices somehow get "normal" again i do myself a fun challenge and do a used parts PC for like 1000€/$ and just try to get very good performance for the money.
Used prices are somewhat "normal" once again. But my Laptop still does fine for what i do these days.

Big games on PS5, online games on PC with friends.

Was Switch 2 but now just the PS5 Pro. Preparing it to be £600 but if it gets performance modes to 1440p instead of 1080p or even 720p I’m all in !

Ps5 Pro and switch 2 whenever it actually arrives. I have a 4080 and really don't think I see a need to upgrade till the 6XXX series. I probably will end up upgrading but not right away like I did the the 4080 as I just don't really play games that take advantage of it as is.

PS5 Pro💙

Probably surround setup in my gaming living room will also see some updates.
E.g. I want to get a big, high end Subwoofer.

Playing helldivers with a group of friends via PlayStation, with one friend on PC has reminded me why I quit pc gaming years ago. His game crashed multiple times, would often get choppy, he had to watch YouTube videos that instructed him on deleting random files and folders, so it would work better, but still would have issues. Just buy a bloody PlayStation, it “just works”, and they ain’t even expensive.

Neither, waiting for better leaps in the PC space. Probably will jump off next gen instead of buying consoles. Currently, PC is a lot of money and hassle to boot, and I’m not too upset about how 60fps games look at the moment.

I'm absolutely fine with consoles, performance hasn't really been a big issue this generation outside a few cases (some of which can't hit a consistent 60 on powerful PCs either, like DD2). Image quality clearly suffers in many cases though, so I'm ready for the Pro. Should be a great machine for the second half of this generation.
