  • Huh, i thought ps5 (pro) was 4k native, but looks like its via some hardware upscaler. Good to know hehe. That changes some things, but lets see. The ps5 pro gpu is equivalent to a rx 7700 xt, which is a 400 msrp card. In reality its way more, but lets work with msrp prices to give this the best chance of success.
    Ps5 pro is 700$ msrp, so thats 300$ you have left for cpu, ram, ssd, case, and psu. I dont think you can do that, but lets look at the next part: cpu
    Cpu is equivalent to a ryzen 7 3700x, which is an old cpu so is cheap atm, 120$.
    Ok, 180$ left in the budget, next: motherboard.
    I found a board on amazon for 65$, which was the ASRock A520M-HDV. 120$ left.
    Ok so, ssd. Ps5 pro comes with a 2TB ssd. I found some sketchy, offbrand, m.2 ssd’s from brands i never even heard off for 94$. There is probably cheaper, but amazon’s website was being an arse and lets face it, how trustworthy or slow are those. 36$ left in budget.

    Thats 36 for ram, case and psu… As much as i hate to admit it, as a pc person, you cant make a pc with equal strength as ps5 pro and it sucks arse.
    Second hand might give us more leeway but i dont think its a lot.
    I will agree that yes, with pc you have a lot more options and its easier to put in a bit more into the budget to build a way better pc than a ps5 pro.
    But from a pure budget standpoint, no pc isnt worth it.
    As soon as you add other arguments, the choice changes









  • And i agree that is a good thing and natural progression/evolution of tech.
    What i dont like is nvidia’s cockhold on the tech with insane prices ( for the card and power draw ) as a result. I know other cards are catching up and all that, but the difference is still huge because some methods and functions are locked to the cuda cores and nvidias tech.
    I will not be giving nvidia money in the next 7 years. We will see where they stand once i have to replace my (amd) gpu.






  • I have discussed this with a friend of mine and have come to the conclusion there is only 2 cases these kind of trucks are needed, and even then i only accept one as valid. All the rest can be solved with a regular, european, work van like a fort transit or mercedes sprinter.
    The cases?
    Farmers that need to get heavy shit off and on the field quickly if they dont have a regular traktor ( which they do, but it might be malfunctioning ) and when you are handling a hot air balloon.
    Thats it.
    The rest work better with vans or trailers or both together…
